Isaiah 16
1 Send the tribute lambs to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the mount of Daughter Zion.
Gamsung vaipo kai pehdin kelngoinou ho chu hin sol’un sela akonin. Nelgam akon zion molsang gei adin hin solun.
2 Like fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon:
Moab numei ho chu Arnon vadung palgal kaina adong lai achun vacha buh neilou bangin dalhah in aumun ahi.
3 “Give us counsel; render a decision. Shelter us at noonday with shade as dark as night. Hide the refugees; do not betray the one who flees.
“Nei panpiu vin,” tin apengun ahi.” Neihuhdoh un kagal mi teu akonin. Lungsetna beija gal eisat hoa konin nei vengbit un. Kapel doh tah jeh un tun nei lhem tahih un.
4 Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge for Moab from the destroyer.” When the oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have vanished from the land,
Ka mite galjam ho chu nalah uva umuhen kichat tijat beikah in galmi ho akonin anasel tup un.” Kibolgim naleh manthahna ahung kichai teng, galmi mibulu ho a manthah teng uleh,
5 in loving devotion a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
Pathenin David khanggui akona leng khat ahin tun doh ding ahi. Amachun hepinaleh thutah'a vai ahom ding ahi. Adih chu ipiham aman abol jing ding, chuleh thilpha bolding alungvil ten ding ahi.
6 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his overflowing arrogance. But his boasting is empty.
Moab kiletsah dan chu kana jaove- akiletsah nao, ahoithonao leh angolnao. Ahin akisonnao jouse amang gam tan ahi.
7 Therefore let Moab wail; let them wail together for Moab. Moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, you who are utterly stricken.
Moab gamsung mijouse akap un ahi. Ahin, Moab a cheng mijousen a puldou uve, Kir-hareseth akon lengpithei agop tan ahi. Tuhin a umgam tapouve.
8 For the fields of Heshbon have withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed over the sea.
Heshbon a louho dalhah in a umtan; Sibmah a lengpilei hojong dalhah in a umtai chitin namtin chunga vaihom hon Moab asukeh taove-hoitah tah lengpithei gui ho chu. Akhaogui sah langa patnin Jazer khosung gei jin akiphan, solam gamthip gamgei jin a kikhai lha in ahi. Ajihdon lhumlam gei aphan, twikhanglen gal a ajam gal kai tao ve.
9 So I weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears. Triumphant shouts have fallen silent over your summer fruit and your harvest.
Hijeh chun tun keiman Jazer leh Sibmah lengpilei kaka pitai; ka mitlhi twi Heshbon leh Eleahleh a din along'e. Nipi laiya honga louga khoptup jeh a kipana lhangsap jong aum tapoi.
10 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I have put an end to the cheering.
Kipana chu tun a umtapoi, neh khoptup jeh a kipana aumtapoi. Lengpilei sunga lasah jong umtapon tin, kipana lhangsap jong um taponte, lengpitwi’a akipanao jouse kasuh hai peh ahitai.
11 Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.
Selangdah tuma puldou va akimao banga Moab adinga ka lungsung kap ahi. Kir-hareseth adin lunggenthei in kadimin ahi.
12 When Moab appears on the high place, when he wearies himself and enters his sanctuary to pray, it will do him no good.
Moab miten a houin uva milim hin houvun tin, ahin imacha phachom louding ahi. A pathen koma kap un tin, ahin koima chan amaho ahuhdoh louding ahi.
13 This is the message that the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
Hiche thudol ho Pakai in phat masa peh a anasei doh ahitai.
14 And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”
Ahin tun Pakai in aseije, “Kumthum sunga nisim a simin, Moab loupina chu bei ding ahi. Michujat a kona mi lhomcha bou ahinga kidalha diu ahi.
