Isaiah 31
1 Kabawpnae coe nahanelah Izip ram lah cei teh, marangnaw kâuepkhai teh, taran tuknae rangleng moi ao dawk thoseh, athakaawme marangransanaw moikapap ao dawk thoseh, hotnaw hah kâuepkhai teh, Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa hah khen hoeh. Bawipa Jehovah hah tawng laipalah kaawm e tami teh yawthoe lah ao awh.
Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;
2 Hatei, Bawipa nang teh, lungangnae ao dawkvah, ahnimouh koevah, runae a pha sak. Ama e lawk hah takhoe laipalah, tamikathoutnaw e avanglah hai thoseh, yonnae kasaknaw kabawm e naw koe lahai thoseh a thaw han.
Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.
3 Izipnaw teh Cathut nahoeh, tami roeroe doeh. Ahnimae marang hai muitha nahoeh, tak roeroe doeh. BAWIPA ni a kut hah a dâw toteh, ka bawm e tami teh kamthui vaiteh, kabawp e tami teh a rawp han. Ahnimouh pueng teh cungtalah rawknae koe a pha awh han.
For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, sendek hoehpawiteh, sendektanca ni amamouh ni a kei e moi dawk a huk navah, tukhoumnaw ni hramki laihoi pâlei ei nakunghai a taki hoeh e patetlah hrawang lawk dawk a kalue hoeh e patetlah ransahu BAWIPA nihai, Zion mon dawk hote monrui dawkvah taran tuk hanelah, hot patetlah a kum han.
For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.
5 Tava ni a awt e patetlah Rasahu BAWIPA ni Jerusalem hah a ngue han. Ngue vaiteh a rungngang han. Pasai vaiteh a rungngang han.
Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.
6 Oe Isarelnaw, nangmouh ni thouk na taran awh e Bawipa koe bout ban awh haw.
Come back to him who has been so deeply sinned against by the children of Israel.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hnin dawkvah, nangmouh hanelah, namamae kut hoi na thuk awh e namamae sui kutsak, hoi namamae ngun meikaphawk naw hah tami pueng ni a ceitakhai awh han.
For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.
8 Assiria tami ni hai, tongpa e tahloi nahoeh e tahloi hoi a due han. Tami rumram e tahloi hoeh e tahloi hoi thei lah ao han. Ahni teh tahloi dawk hoi hlout vaiteh, ahnie thoundounnaw teh, san lah ao awh han.
Then the Assyrian will come down by the sword, but not of man; the sword, not of men, will be the cause of his destruction: and he will go in flight from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced work.
9 Ahni hai a taki dawkvah amae a rapanim hloilah ahlanae koe a yawng han. Khobawinaw ni mitnout hah a hmu awh toteh, a lung a pout awh han telah, Zion mon dawk hmai ka tawn niteh, Jerusalem vah takhuen ka tawn e BAWIPA ni ati.
And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.
