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.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord will ascend upon a lofty cloud, and he will enter into Egypt, and the false images of Egypt will be moved before his face, and the heart of Egypt will waste away in its midst.
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.
And I will cause Egyptian to rush against Egyptian. And they will fight: a man against his brother, and a man against his friend, city against city, 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.
And the spirit of Egypt will be ruptured to its very core. And I will cast down their plan violently. And they will seek answers from their false images, and their diviners, and those led by demons, and their seers.
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.
And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will dominate them, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
5 Tuipui tuinaw rem aphui vaiteh, palang tuinaw rem hak vaiteh a ke awh han.
And the waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be desolate and dry.
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.
And the rivers will fail. The streams of its banks will diminish and dry up. The reed and the bulrush will wither away.
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 channel of the river will be stripped down to its source, and everything irrigated by it will dry up and wither 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.
And the fishermen will grieve. And all who cast a hook into the river will mourn. And those who cast a net upon the surface of its waters will languish.
9 Raha kasawnnaw hoi lukkarei kakawngnaw teh yeirai a po awh han.
Those who work with linen, combing and weaving fine textiles, will be confounded.
10 A kâoupkhai e naw teh a rawk han, thaw katawknaw pueng teh a lung a rek awh han.
And its irrigated places will begin to fail, with all those who make pools to take fish.
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 leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: “I am the son of wise men, the son of the kings of antiquity?”
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 announce it to you, and let them reveal what the Lord of hosts intends for 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 leaders of Tanis have become foolish. The leaders of Memphis have decayed. They have deceived Egypt, the corner of its people.
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 mixed a spirit of giddiness into its midst. And they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, like a drunken man who staggers and vomits.
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.
And there will be no work for Egypt that would produce a head or a tail, one who bows down or one who refrains from bowing down.
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, Egypt will be like women, and they will be stupefied and fearful before the presence of the shaking hand of the Lord of hosts, the hand which he will move over 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.
And the land of Judah will be a dread to Egypt. Everyone who thinks about it will be terrified before the presence of the plan of the Lord of hosts, the plan which he has decided concerning them.
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, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan, and which swear by the Lord of hosts. One 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 of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a monument of the Lord beside its borders.
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.
This shall be a sign and a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they will cry out to the Lord before the face of the tribulation, and he will send them a savior and a defender who will free 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.
And the Lord will be acknowledged by Egypt, and the Egyptians will recognize the Lord in that day, and they will worship him with sacrifices and gifts. And they will make vows to the Lord, and they will 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 scourge, and he will heal them. And they will return to the Lord. And he will be placated toward them, and he will 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 way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian will enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian will be with the Assyrians, and the Egyptians will serve Assur.
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, will Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian, a blessing in the midst of 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.
which the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands for the Assyrian, but Israel is my inheritance.
