Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For thou shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Oe Babilon canu tanglakacuem, kum nateh vaiphu dawk tahung haw. Oe Khaldean canu, bawitungkhung dawk laipalah, talai dawk tahung haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kanem e hoi kanaw e telah bout dei awh mahoeh toe.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal. Remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Sum hah lat nateh, cakang hah phawm haw. Minhmai ramuk hah hawng haw. Angkidung hah rading haw. Na hna hah na phai totouh kalim nateh, palang raka haw.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
Nang teh, caici lah na o han, Yeirai na po han. Moi ka pathung vaiteh, apihai ka pasai mahoeh.
4 Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Maimouh na karatangkung min teh, ransahu BAWIPA, Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut tie doeh.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
Oe Khaldean canu, duem tahung nateh, hmonae koe kâenh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh Napui e uknaeram teh lah na kaw mahoeh toe.
6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand. Thou showed them no mercy. Upon the aged thou have laid thy yoke very heavily.
Ka taminaw koe ka lungkhuek dawkvah, ka râw hah ka khin sak teh na kut dawk na poe. Nang ni na lungma hoeh. Katawngnaw koe hnokari na phu sak.
7 And thou said, I shall be mistress forever, so that thou did not lay these things to thy heart, nor remembered the latter end of it.
Kai teh siangpahrang lah pou ka o han telah na pouk dawkvah, hete hnonaw hah na pouk hoeh. Nang dawk a hnukteng ka phat hane hai bout na panuek hoeh.
8 Now therefore hear this, thou who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of sons.
Hatdawkvah, hringnawmnae dueng ka tawng niteh, pamda laihoi kaawm e, ma imthung dawk kai doeh toe, kai hoi kâvan e apihai awm hoeh. Lahmainu lah kaawm mahoeh. Camo duenae ka khang mahoeh ka tet e, atu thaw haw.
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day: the loss of sons, and widowhood. In their full measure they shall come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Hete hno kahni touh: camo duenae hoi lahmainu lah onae ni hnin hni touh, tawkkadek dawk na tho sin han. Na onae hoi na kâringnae teh kapap nakunghai hotnaw teh nang koe puenghoi a tho han.
10 For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, na hawihoehnae hah na kâuep teh, apinihai na hmawt hoeh na la ti. Na lungangnae hoi na panuenae ni na dum teh, kai doeh toe, kai hloilah alouke awm hoeh toe telah na lungthung hoi na ti.
11 Therefore evil shall come upon thee. Thou shall not know the dawning of it. And mischief shall fall upon thee. Thou shall not be able to put it away. And desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou know not.
Hatdawkvah, nang koe thoenae teh a tho han. Nâhoi maw, a tho tie hah na panuek mahoeh. Yawthoenae ni na tho sin vaiteh, hot teh na kahmat sak thai mahoeh. Na panue thai hoeh e rawknae hah nang koe vaitalahoi a tho han.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou have labored from thy youth, if so be thou shall be able to profit, if so be thou may prevail.
Na nawca hoi na tawk e na kâringnae hoi taânsinnae naw hah kangdoutkhai ka lawnh. Hawinae hmu hai na hmu yawkaw han, tâ hai na tâ yawkaw han doeh.
13 Thou are wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
Nang teh, kâpankhaikung apap kecu dawk ngawt na tâwn toe khe. Atuvah asikhetkathoumnaw hoi âsi karadoungnaw, thapa khet lahoi ka dei thai e naw teh nang dawk ka tho hane hno dawk hoi kangdout awh naseh. Nang hah atu na rungngang naseh.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Khenhaw! ahnimanaw teh, caphon patetlah ao awh, hmaisawi lah ao awh han. Hmai ka kang e dawk hoi na rungngang thai awh mahoeh. Ka bet sak e hmaisaan awm hoeh, kamben hane hmai awm mahoeh.
15 Thus shall be the things to thee, in which thou have labored. Those who have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander each one to his quarter. There shall be none to save thee.
Hot patetlah na tawk e hno teh nang hanlah ao han. Na naw nah hoi na pâtung e hnonaw hah amamae lam dawk koung kâva vaiteh, apinihai na rungngang thai mahoeh.
