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 go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek Jehovah.
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.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against those who help evildoers.
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.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall 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 thus says Jehovah to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Jehovah of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
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 hovering, so Jehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
6 Oe Isarelnaw, nangmouh ni thouk na taran awh e Bawipa koe bout ban awh haw.
Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, 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 everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
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.
"The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
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.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his officers will be afraid of the banner," says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
