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.
Woe to those who descend into Egypt for assistance, hoping in horses, and putting their trust in four-horse chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are exceedingly strong. And they have not believed in the Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought 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.
Therefore, being wise, he has permitted harm, and he has not removed his words, and he will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who assist the workers of iniquity.
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.
Egypt is man, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And so, the Lord will reach down his hand, and the helper will fall, and the one who was being helped will fall, and they will all be consumed 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 says this to me: In the same way that a lion roars, and a young lion is over his prey, and though a multitude of shepherds may meet him, he will not dread their voice, nor be afraid of their number, so will the Lord of hosts descend in order to battle upon mount Zion and upon 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 flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and freeing, passing over and saving.
6 Oe Isarelnaw, nangmouh ni thouk na taran awh e Bawipa koe bout ban awh haw.
Be converted to the same depth that you have drawn away, O sons 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, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you unto sin.
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.
And Assur will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him. And he will not flee from the face of the sword, and his young men will be subject to a penalty.
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 strength will pass away in terror, and his princes will flee in fear. The Lord has said it. His fire is in Zion, and his furnace is at Jerusalem.
