Isaiah 21
1 This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror.
Babylon chung changa hiche thuhil hi kahenga ahunge- twikhanglen gal'a nelgam: Nelgam a konin vangsetna nasatah ging lullul iin nachunga chudin ahungsuh in, Negev akon chingpei in anen aboh apeilut abangin ahi.
2 A dire vision is declared to me: “The traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all her groaning.”
Tijat umtah khat gaovin kamun ahi: Mi lhem lha pan mi alheplhah leh misumang pan mi asuhmang kamun ahi. Chetouvin Elamite mite, Medeste, gasat unlang umkhum un. Babylon ten hahsatna asosah u kasuh beiding ahi.
3 Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.
Ka oisung anan, meiya kikahsah bangin ana e. Gimna sangtah natna kachunga ahung um'in, naosonat vei kabangin ahi. Pathen thilgon ho kajah teng katha alhasam in ahi; Muding jong kichat nan kadimin ahi.
4 My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight of my desire has turned to horror.
Ka lunggel a kichi ah in, kalungchang alhai thojeng in ahi. Nilhah hung hiding ngahlel in ka um'in, ahin khojin ding tijatnan kadim kitnin ahi.
5 They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!
Ven! Anja nehding lentah in agong un ahi. Samul pon sa tah mipi ho touna din aphaovin ahi. Mijousen aneuvin, adonuvin ahi. Ahin mang gam diu ahi! Galvon ho kimat unlang, galsat din kigou vun. Nangho nahung sat u ahi!
6 For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.
Hiche kah sungin, Pakai in kahenga ahung seije, “Khopi bang ho a khongah koijun. Mu aneile hung ao hen.
7 When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.”
Sakol hon akai sakol kangtalai ho vehen lang, sangan leh sangonsang chunga touho phaten vehen. Khongah pachu kiging sadem in umhen.”
8 Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post.
Hichun khongahpa chu ahung ao in, “Ka Pakai, nisim in khongana chungsang a kana dingin, jan simin ka khonga namun a kana umden jin ahi.”
9 Look, here come the riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!”
Tun achainan-ven! Sakol min sakol kangtalai ahin kai chunga toupa khu ahunge. “Hichun khongah pan ahinsei jin, “Babylon chu alhutai, alhutai! Babylon lim semthu hojouse tol lhanga akisukeh gam tai!”
10 O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.
Vo kamite, ka chilsa leh asi banga kajap dohsa, van janel Pakai seiho jouse chu kasei peh nahitao ve, Israel Pathen in eiseipeh ho jouse chu.
11 This is the burden against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”
Edom chung chang thuhil chu kahenga ahunge; Edom mikhat nin eikou jing jeng in, “Khongahpa jingkah hung lhunna ding sot nalai am? Etih leh jan hi kichai ding ham?”
12 The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”
Khongahpan adonbut in, “Jingkah chu ahunge, ahin jan hi hunglhung paiding ahitai. Doh kit ding nanop leh, hung kilen lang dongin.”
13 This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.
Arabia chung changa thuhil hitihin ahung e: Dedan akon aw kholjin ho, Arabia nelgam a chun kiselun
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.
O Tema mite, mipi dangchah hodin twi hin domun, gal jam thachol hodin nehding an peuvin.
15 For they flee from the sword— the sword that is drawn— from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle.
Amaho hi chemjam akon, thalpi akon, leh gal tijat akon hung jam ahiuve.
16 For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.
Pakai in kahenga hiti hin aseije, “Kum khat sunga, nisim a simin, Kedar loupina jouse hung bei ding ahi.
17 The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
Thalkap mi hangsan themkhat bou sohcha ding ahi. Keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kaphon doh ahi!”
