Isaiah 19
1 Izip ram hoi kâkuen e lawk hateh, Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni karang poung e tâmai a kâcui teh Izip ram lah a tho. Izip ram e meikaphawknaw teh a hmalah a pâyaw awh teh, Izipnaw e a lung teh, amamae thungvah, a kamyawt pouh awh han.
This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 Kai ni Izipnaw teh, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâtaran awh nahanelah ka hroecoe vaiteh, ahnimouh ni amamae hmaunawngha reira, imri reira, kho reira, uknaeram reira a kâtuk awh han.
“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Izipnaw e lungthin teh, amamae thungvah, hrawnghrang lah ao han. A noenae hai ka kâsanu sak han. Hatnavah, ahnimouh ni meikaphawknaw, taân kasinnaw, khueyuenaw, tonghmanaw koe a pacei awh han.
Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
4 Izip khocanaw teh, ka matheng e bawi kut dawk ka thak han. Kâtawnnae kalen e siangpahrang ni ahnimouh hah a uk awh han telah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
5 Tuipui tuinaw rem aphui vaiteh, palang tuinaw rem hak vaiteh a ke awh han.
The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
6 Palangnaw teh a hmui kong vaiteh, Izip ram e palangnaw teh rem a hak han. Lungpum hoi pho naw teh kamyai vaiteh a ke awh han.
The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 Nai palang rai kaawm e akungnaw hoi Nai palang teng patue e naw pueng teh, remke vaiteh, koung kahmat vaiteh, awm awh mahoeh toe.
The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
8 Tanga kamannaw teh cingou awh vaiteh, Nai palang dawk hradang kasawnnaw pueng a khui a ka awh han. Tui dawk tamlawk kahengnaw hai a tha a tawn awh han.
Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9 Raha kasawnnaw hoi lukkarei kakawngnaw teh yeirai a po awh han.
The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 A kâoupkhai e naw teh a rawk han, thaw katawknaw pueng teh a lung a rek awh han.
The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 Zoan kho e kahrawikungnaw teh a pathu awh han. Faro siangpahrang e a lungkaang poung e kâpokhaibawinaw ni pathunae pouknae hah a poe awh. Nang ni Faro siangpahrang hah, kai teh a lungkaangnaw e miphun, ayan e siangpahrangnaw e miphun lah ka o, telah bangtelamaw na dei thai han vaw.
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
12 Atuvah, nange a lungkaangnaw teh nâmouh ao awh va. Ahnimouh ni atuvah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni Izipnaw hanelah a kâcai e hah atu dei awh naseh, panuek awh naseh.
Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 Zoan kho e kahrawikungnaw teh, ka pathu e lah ao awh toe. Memphis kho e kahrawikungnaw teh dumyennae hoi ao awh toe. Izip catoun e kacuenaw ni Izip ram hah a payon sak toe.
The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 BAWIPA ni Izip ram thung kâkapeknae muitha a patoun pouh dawkvah, yamu ka parui e tami ni amae a palo dawk rawraw a cu e patetlah, ahnimouh teh, Izip ram hah ahnie tawksaknae dawk, rawrawcu awh han.
The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
15 A lû nakunghai thoseh, a mai nakunghai thoseh, samtue kang nakunghai, lungpumkung nakunghai, Izip ram hanelah thaw ka tawk pouh thai hane api awm hoeh.
There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
16 Hote hnin navah, Izip khocanaw teh napui patetlah ao awh han. Ahnimouh ni ahnimouh koe kut kahek e ransahu BAWIPA hmalah taket awh vaiteh a pâyaw awh han.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
17 Izip ram hane kâtaran lah ka noe pouh e ransahu BAWIPA Cathut e a pouknae dawkvah, Judah ram teh Izip ram hanelah, takikathopounge lah a coung pouh han. Hote ram ka pouk e naw pueng ni a taki awh han.
The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
18 Hote hnin dawk, Izip ram vah, Kanaan lawk ka dei niteh, kalvan ransanaw e BAWIPA hah thoe ka bo e kho panga touh ao han.
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
19 Hat hnin vah Izip ram lungui vah, Jehovah hanelah thuengnae khoungroe buet touh ao teh, hote ram ramri koevah, Jehovah hanelah lungdon ao han.
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
20 Hote lungdon teh Izip ram vah, ransahu BAWIPA hanelah, mitnoutnae hoi kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han. Ahni ni rungngangkung hoi karingkung a patoun vaiteh, ahni ni a rungngang awh han.
It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
21 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni amahoima Izipnaw ni panue nahanelah a sak dawkvah, hat hnin vah, Izipnaw ni BAWIPA hah a panue awh teh, sathei hoi pasoung hnonaw hoi BAWIPA hmalah lawk a kâkam awh teh, a kuep sak awh han.
The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
22 BAWIPA ni Izip ram hah runae a poe han. Runae a poe eiteh, a hmâ teh a kahma han. Hat toteh, ahnimouh teh BAWIPA koe bout a tho awh han. BAWIPA ni ahnimae ratoum lawk hah a thai pouh teh, ahnimae hmânaw teh ahawi sak pouh awh han.
And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
23 Hat hnin vah Izip ram hoi Assiria ram totouh lamthungpui ao han. Assirianaw teh Izip ram lah thoseh, Izipnaw teh Assiria ram lah thoseh, cet awm awh vaiteh, Izipnaw teh Assirianaw hoi reirei a bawk awh han.
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
24 Hate hnin dawkvah, Isarel ram teh Izip ram hoi Assiria ram hoi cungtalah, apâthum e ram lah a bawk teh, talai van lungui vah yawhawi lah ao han.
In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
25 Rasahu BAWIPA ni, ka miphun Izip, ka kut hoi ka sak e Assiria, ka râw lah kaawm e Isarelnaw koe, yawhawinae awm seh telah dei vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah yawhawi a poe han.
The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
