Isaiah 16
1 Zion canu mon dawk kaawm e ram ukkung bawi hanelah, Sela kho hoi kahrawngum lam lahoi tuca hah patawn haw.
Send ye the lamb due to the ruler of the land, From Sela towards the desert, —Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion;
2 Arnon palang rakanae koe e lamthungnaw dawk, Moab canunaw teh tabu raphoe lah ao teh kamleng e tavanaw patetlah ao awh.
Yet shall it be that—Like wandering birds from a nest cast forth, Shall be the daughters of Moab, at the fords of Arnon.
3 Pouknae na poe awh haw. Lannae lahoi laideitâtueng awh haw. Kanî tuengtalueng thun nah e na tâhlip hah, karum patetlah awm sak awh haw. Pâlei e naw hah hrawk awh. Ka yawng e naw hah pahnawt awh hanh.
Bring thou, in counsel, Execute thou judgment, Make as the night, thy shadow in the midst of high noon, —Hide thou the outcasts, The wanderer, do not thou reveal.
4 Moab ram hoi a pâlei teh a takhoe e naw hah nangmouh koe rei awm naseh. Ahnimouh karaphoenaw e kut dawk hoi rawngkhan hanelah kângue e lah awm awh. Ka hnephnapnaw ao awh hoeh torei, raphoenae teh a roum torei, reprep ka coungroe e taminaw teh talai van hoi a kahma awh torei teh,
Let mine own outcasts, sojourn with thee, O Moab, become thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler, —For vanished is the oppressor, At an end is extortion, They who tread down have ceased out of the land.
5 bawitungkhung teh lungpatawnae lahoi a cak han. Hote tahungnae dawkvah, Devit e lukkareiim thung hoi buet touh ni lawkceng vaiteh, lannae hah tawng vaiteh, lannae hah karanglah sak vaiteh, yuemkamcunae lahoi a tahung han.
So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David, —Judging—and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.
6 Moab e kâoupnae, banghloimaw a kâoup, ahnie lunglennae, a kâoupnae, a kaisuenae pueng teh maimouh ni thai awh toe. A kâoupnae pueng teh ahrawnghrang doeh.
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Proud exceedingly! His haughtiness and his arrogance and his passion, Not true, are his boastings.
7 Hatdawkvah, Moab khocanaw teh, Moab kho hanelah a cingou awh han. Khoca pueng a cingou awh han. Nangmouh teh Kirhareseth kho e misur vaiyeinaw hanelah na cingou awh han. Ahnimouh teh atangcalah puenghoi runae a kâhmo awh han.
Therefore shall, Moab, howl for, Moab, All that belong to her, shall wail, —For the ruins of Kir-hareseth, shall they moan out Utterly stricken!
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Heshbon laikawknaw, Sibmah misurkungnaw teh ketkamyai teh a ke awh toe. Miphunnaw ukkung bawinaw ni misurbomnaw teh a khoe awh toe. Hote akungnaw teh, Jazer kho totouh a pha teh, kahrawngum totouh a yam awh. Hote a kangnaw teh, tuipui ka tapuet lah a yam awh.
For, the fields of Heshbon are withered—The vine of Sibmah, the owners of nations, have broken off ruddy branches, Unto Jazer, had they reached, They had spread abroad to the desert, —Her boughs, had stretched forth, had gone over to the sea.
9 Hatdawkvah, Jazer kho hoi cungtalah Sibmah misurnaw hanelah ka khuika. Oe Heshbon kho hoi Elealeh kho, nang hah ka mitphi hoi cupcup na duk sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange kompawi a pawhik hoi caâpawi a pawhiknaw teh a kâhat toe.
For this cause, will I bewail, in the wailing of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I will drench thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, —For, upon thy fruit-harvest, and upon thy grain-harvest, the battle-shout, hath fallen.
10 Lunghawinae hoi nawmnae teh talai kahawi dawk hoi takhoe lah ao toe. Misur takha dawk lunghawinae la saknae awm hoeh. Lunghawinae hoi hramnae awm hoeh. Misur paw katinnaw ni katinnae dawkvah misur paw hah katin awh hoeh. Hramki lawk ka kâhat sak toe.
Now shall be withdrawn rejoicing and exultation out of the garden-land, And, in the vineyards, shall be neither singing nor shouting, —Wine in the winepress, the treader, shall not tread, The vintage-shout, have I made to cease.
11 Hatdawkvah, kaie ka lung teh, Moab ram hanelah, ka lungthin teh Kirhareseth kho hanelah ratoung lawk patetlah a cingou toe.
For this cause, mine inward parts—for Moab, like a lyre, shall make a plaintive sound, —Yea what is within me, for Kir-heres.
12 Moabnaw ni a rasangnae hmuen koe, tawntam laihoi ratoum hanelah, amamae kathounge hmuen koe a tho awh navah, banghai hawinae hmawt awh mahoeh.
And it shall be—When it is seen that Moab hath laboured in vain on the high place, He shall enter into his holy place to pray, and shall not prevail,
13 Hethateh, atuvah Moab ram hoi kâkuen e BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk doeh.
This, is the word which Yahweh spake concerning Moab in, time past;
14 Atu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, kum thum touh thung, thaw ka tawk hanlah hlai e ni thaw a tawknae kum patetlah Moab e bawilennae teh tami moikapap ni a khet rahnoum awh han. Kacawie naw teh ekvoi ayounca awh dawkvah, a tha a baw awh ati toe.
But now, hath Yahweh spoken saying, In three years, —as the years of a hireling, shall the glory of Moab be diminished, with all the great multitude, —even a very small remnant, of no account.
