Isaiah 29
1 Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.
“Ipi lunghem nan nanga hitam, Ariel, David khopi. Kumseh le golnop anneh namang jingin.
2 And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
Hijong leh nachunga manthahna kahin lhut ding, chuleh hichea chu lunghem naleh kana sangtah umding ahi. Ajehchu Jerusalem hi Ariel min kisah akoudoh chu hung hiding ahi-maicham thisan in atom khum.
3 I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
Keima hi nagal mi kahiding, Jerusalem kakol khum'a nabang hou kaphut ding ahi. Kul sangtah'a kasah a, ka suhmang ding ahi.
4 You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
Chuteng, leiset thuhtah noija kon'a nahin seiding; leivui noi langa patna nathu hungding ahi. Tol'a kon'a na awgin chu thilha lhannoi akon'a olcha a awgin tobang hiding ahi.
5 But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
Ahin hetman lou in, lungsetna neilou nagal mite chu leivui hoitah banga ki suchip dingu ahi. Na hinsat hou chu huilah a changvai banga delmanga umdiu ahi. Photlot louvin, apet pet nin.
6 you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.
Keima, van janel Pakai in nadinga thil kahin bol ding ahi; vang'in, lingki hot leh husa sangtah, chimpei, hui le go kitho leh mi halvam jeng thei meikonga kahung vilding nahi.
7 All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
Chitin namtin Jerusalem douna a galsat ho jouse mang banga manghel diu ahi! A kulpiu nokhum ho jouse jan mang banga manghel diu ahi.
8 as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
Gilkel thohpan nehding amang mat in, ahin ahung khah teng leh ana gilkel thou thou ve. Dang chah pan donding a mang mat in, ahin jingkah ahung hiteng leh dang chah in alhachom in ahi. Hitobanga chu na melma teu hung hiding, Zion lhang nokhum ho jong hidiu ahi.”
9 Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.
Na lungdonga natahsan lel ham? Na tahsan lou ham? Hichu ahileh che masan lang khomu lou in umtan. Na ngolbeh buh in ahin ju akon ahipoi! Na lundong dongin ahi, ahin ju akon ahipoi!
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.
Ajehchu Pakai in imut lhuh na lhagao nachunga ahin sun lhah ahitai. Na themgao ho leh gao chang ho mit chu a sing tup tan ahi.
11 And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”
Ahung lhung ding thilsoh ding jouse gaova kimu hi amaho a dinga lekhabu Mohor kinam khum tobang ahi. Asim thei ding ho napeh teng leh, hitia hi aseidingu ahi. “Mohor a kinam khum jeh in kasim theipouve” atidiu ahi.
12 Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
Asimthei louho napeh teng leh, hitia hi aseidiu ahi, “Iti simdiham kahepou ve,” atidiu ahi.
13 Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
Hijeh chun Pakai in aseije, “Hiche mite hin amaho hi keija ahi tin aseijuve. Akam un ei jabol un, ahin alungu keija konin agam lhai. Eihou u jong hi ima ahipoi, ahin mihem semthu danthu holeh mohchin chin thu a bou ahi.
14 Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
Hiche jeh ahi, keiman avel'a mipha lhem ho paomo leova hatah a adatmo na diuva kakoi ding ahi. Miching chihna chu hung mangin tin, chihna nei hetna ho hung beiding ahitai.”
15 Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”
Ipi lung genthei nan a nga u ahita dem, Pakai kom'a kon athilgon hou selmang guhon, muthim noi'a thilse bolhon! “Pakai in eimu thei pouvin, ipi ibol'u jong ahepoi,” tin asei juve.
16 You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?
Ichan gei'a hung ngol ding nahi tam? Amachu beldengpa ahin, amachu tahbeh in nang leingan sanga lenjo ahi! “Aman eisem ahipoi,” tia thilsem in asempa kom'a aseiding ham? “Eisem pa beldengpa hi mingol ahi, “tia bel in aseikhah mong ding ham?
17 In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?
Mangang tah'a-geisang behseh talou ding- Lebanon gammang lah ho chu loupha lai hung soh in tin, lousoh tampi asosah ding ahi.
18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
Hiche niteng chuleh lekhabua thucheng kisim, nangong in ajahding, chule mitchon lungjin naleh muthim amu ding ahi.
19 The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Mi kineosah hon Pakai akon'a kipana thahbeh amudim sohdiu ahi. Migenthei ho chu Israel Mitheng Pa a kipah thanom diu ahi.
20 For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—
Mi ija seplou ho umtalou diu, mi kithupi sah ho mangthah diu, chuleh thilpha lou bolgoho kithat diu ahi.
21 those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.
Mona neilou themmo chansah ho mangthah diu ahi. Thutandih lamhilouva hei mangho leh mona neiloi suhmang nadinga jou sei hon akibang chet gotna kipe chu chang diu ahi.
22 Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.
Hijeh achu Pakai, Abraham huhdoh pan, Israel mite henga aseijin, “Kamite jachatna a hung um talou diu, kichat jeh a dang kehkoh talou diu ahi.
23 For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Ajehchu achateu tamtah ahin mu tengu leh, phatthei na jouse achateu kaboh khum amu tengu leh Israel Mitheng Pa thenselna chu ahin hetdoh diu ahi. Jacob Pathen mai'a kichatah a ding diu ahi.
24 Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
Ngol thit thet hon hettheina hin nei untin, phun sehon kihilna asandiu ahi.
