Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
Damaskas kho hoi kâkuen e lawk teh, Khenhaw! Damaskas kho teh kho lah awm mahoeh toe. Ka rawk e songnawng lah doeh ao han toe.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
Aroer khonaw teh kahrawngum, saringnaw ni pânae lah, yannae lah awm vaiteh, ka hrui hane apihai awm mahoeh.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the LORD of Armies.
Rapan teh Ephraim kho hoi a kahma han. Uknaeram teh Damaskas kho hoi a kahma han. Kacawie Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e bawilennae patetlah ao awh han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.
4 “It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
Hote hnin dawkvah, Jakop bawilennae teh a roum han, a thâwnae teh a kamsoe han.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Cang ka a kung ni cavuinaw a pâkhueng navah, a kut hoi cavuinaw a a awh e patetlah Rephaim yawn dawk cavui pâhma e racawng e patetlah ao han.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hatei, olive paw hah karuek toteh, a som dawk kahni kathum touh ka paw e a kang, paw rah pawiteh, pali panga touh ouk ao e patetlah pâhma e cang a cawi nahanlah ao han telah Isarelnaw e Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
Hat hnin vah, tami ni kasakkung koe a khet vaiteh, a mit ni Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut hah a bari han.
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
Amamouh ni a kut hoi a sak awh e khoungroenaw koe kangvawi awh mahoeh. Amamae kutdawnnaw hoi a sak awh e hmuitui sawinae Asherim khoungroenaw koe lah kangvawi awh mahoeh.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
Hat hnin dawkvah, amamae kacakpounge khonaw teh, Isarelnaw kecu dawk a ceitakhai e kahrawngum hoi monsom patetlah ao vaiteh, kingkadi e lah ao han.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh nama e rungngangnae Cathut hah na pahnim teh, nama e kânguenae talung hah pouk dounnae na tawn hoeh. Hatdawkvah, nang ni na ngai e thingthairompo na ung eiteh, ramlouknaw e misur kang hah na ung han.
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Na ungnae hnin dawkvah, na roung sak teh, cati na patuenae amom vah, a pei na pei sak han. Hatei, patawnae hoi kahmat thai hoeh e runae a tho hnin navah, caticamu anae tueng a kahma han.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Aya! miphunnaw e hramki lawk bo aw. Ahnimouh teh, athakaawme tui a cairing e patetlah a cairing awh han.
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Miphunnaw teh tui moikapap e a cairing e patetlah ka cairing awh nakunghai, Bawipa nang ni ahnimanaw hah na yue toteh, ahlanae koe a yawng awh han. Mon vah kahlî palek e cahik patetlah bongparui ni a sin e songnawng patetlah pâlei lah ao awh han.
14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
Kanî a khup navah khenhaw! taki a tho poung khe. Khodai totouh ahnimouh awm mahoeh toe. Hethateh, maimouh na ka tuk ni teh na ka lawm e naw ni a coe awh hane ham, maimouh na ka lawm e naw koe kabawt hane cungpam doeh.
