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 them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after 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.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work 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, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded 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 thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
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.
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 Oe Isarelnaw, nangmouh ni thouk na taran awh e Bawipa koe bout ban awh haw.
Return as you had deeply revolted, O 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 a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to 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 the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
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 shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
