Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds come from the south, it cometh from the desert from a terrible land.
Tuithim ah khosoek lamloh cangpalam bangla tinghil tih, khohmuen lamloh a rhih om neh aka pawk, tuipuei khosoek kah olrhuh.
2 A grievous vision is told me: he that is unfaithful dealeth unfaithfully: and he that is a spoiler, spoileth. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Mede: I have made all the mourning thereof to cease.
Kai taengah mangthui neh mangkhak la ha puen. Hnukpoh long tah hnukpoh coeng tih rhoelrhak long khaw rhoelrhak coeng. Elam te paan laeh, Madai te dum laeh. A hueinah boeih te ka duem sak ni.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain, anguish hath taken hold of me, as the anguish of a woman in labour: I fell down at the hearing of it, I was troubled at the seeing of it.
Te dongah ka cinghen he tloh kah a thueknah khaw cung coeng. Ca om vaengkah a tloh bangla kai n'tuuk. Ka yaak nen khaw ka paihaeh tih ka hmuh nawn khaw ka let coeng.
4 My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me.
Tuennah loh kai n'let sak tih ka thinko ah kho a hmang. Ka huengaihnah hlaemhmah te kai ham tah thuennah la poeh.
5 Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.
Caboei te a tloeng. Tlak te doh saeh, mangpa rhoek te ca saeh, o saeh lamtah thoo saeh. photling te koelh saeh.
6 For thus hath the Lord said to me: Go, and set a watchman: and whatsoever he shall see, let him tell.
Te dongah Boeipa loh kai taengah, “Cet laeh, rhaltawt te pai saeh lamtah a hmuh te ha puen saeh,” a ti.
7 And he saw a chariot with two horsemen, a rider upon an ass, and a rider upon a camel: and he beheld them diligently with much heed.
Leng, marhang caem tarhoi, laak leng, kalauk leng a hmuh vaengah a hnatungnah a yet neh a hnatungnah te hnatung saeh.
8 And a lion cried out: I am upon the watchtower of the Lord, standing continually by day: and I am upon my ward, standing whole nights.
Te phoeiah rhaltoengim kah sathueng loh, “Ka boeipa, kai khothaih puet ka pai tih ka mueitung dongah khoyin puet ka pai bal.
9 Behold this man cometh, the rider upon the chariot with two horsemen, and he answered, and said: Babylon is fallen, she is fallen, and all the graven gods thereof are broken unto the ground.
Tedae marhang caem tarhoi kah hlang te leng neh ha pawk coeng he,” tila pang. Te phoeiah a doo tih, “Cungku coeng, Babylon neh a pathen mueidaep tah boeih cungku coeng tih diklai dongah phaeng rhek coeng.
10 O my thrashing and the children of my door, that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared unto you.
Ka cangtil neh ka cangtilhmuen kah ka ca taengah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah ka yaak te ni nangmih taengah ka puen.
11 The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the eight? watchman, what of the night?
Seir lamloh kai aka khue Dumah olrhuh loh, “Khoyin kah aka tawt khaw melae? khoyin kah aka tawt khaw balae? a ti.
12 The watchman said: The morning cometh, also the night: if you seek, seek: return, come.
Aka tawt loh, “Mincang halo tih hlaemmuei ah na yam khaw na yam vetih na lo khaw na lo uh aih sue,” a ti.
13 The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim.
Arabia ham olrhuh, Arabia duup ah naka rhaeh Dedanim lambong rhoek.
14 Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that fleeth.
Tuihalh doe ham te Tema kho kah khosa rhoek loh tui hang khuen saeh, amah buh neh aka doe rhoek khaw yong coeng.
15 For they are fled from before the swords, from the sword that hung over them, from the bent bow, from the face of a grievous battle.
cunghang taeng lamloh, cunghang aka bong mikhmuh lamloh, lii aka phu kah mikhmuh lamloh, caemtloek hnorhih kah mikhmuh lamloh yong uh.
16 For thus saith the Lord to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Cedar shall be taken away.
Te dongah Boeipa loh kai taengah, “Kum khat khuiah kutloh kum kah bangla om vetih Kedar kah a thangpomnah khaw boeih bawt ni.
17 And the residue of the number of strong archers of the children of Cedar shall be diminished: for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.
Kedar ca khuikah hlangrhalh lii pom te amah tarhing ah aka sueng khaw Israel Pathen Yahovah loh a thui coeng dongah polpai uh ni,” a ti.
