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.
Tuipui teng kaawm e thingyeiyawn hoi kâkuen e lawk teh, akalah hoi bongparui ni a ceikhai e patetlah hothateh takitho e ramke koehoi a tho.
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.
Taki ka tho e vision hah ka hmu toe. Yuemkamcu hoeh e tami teh yuemkamcu hoeh. Ka raphoe e tami teh a raphoe. Elam khocanaw luen takhang awh. Midian khocanaw kalup awh. Hote kho kecu ka tâcawt e cingounae kaawm e pueng hah karoumsak toe.
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.
Hatdawkvah, ka keng teh patawnae hoi a kawi. Ca khenae hoi kâvan e puenghoi patawnae ni kai teh na katek. Kai teh ka thai thai hoeh nahanelah ka lung a kâsanu. Ka hmu thai hoeh nahanelah ka lung a puen.
4 My heart failed, darkness amazed me: Babylon my beloved is become a wonder to me.
Ka lungthin a kâhei teh, ka taki dawkvah, tâlueng laihoi ka o. Dikdik ka doun e tangminlah lenghrim patenghai kaluekalap kawi lah ao toe.
5 Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.
Ahnimouh ni caboi a rakueng awh. Imrasang dawk ramveng ka ta toe. A ca awh. A nei awh. Oe kahrawikungnaw thaw awh. Bahlingnaw hah satui hluk awh.
6 For thus hath the Lord said to me: Go, and set a watchman: and whatsoever he shall see, let him tell.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni kai hanelah, cet haw. Ramveng ratawng sak haw. A hmu e patetlah dei sak haw.
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.
Ahni ni, rangleng ransahu, marangransanaw, la ransahu, kalauk ransahu hah a hmu toteh, kamcengcalah a hnâpakeng vaiteh, taranhawi nalaihoi thai naseh, telah a ti.
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.
Ramvengim dawk e sendek ni, Oe BAWIPA, kai teh khodai lah kanîruirui ka kangdue, karum lahai karum tuettuet ka kangdue.
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.
Khenhaw! Atu rangleng ransahu hoi marangransanaw teh a tho awh lahun, titeh hram laihoi a dei. Hathnukkhu, a rawp toe. Babilon kho a rawp toe. Ahnie meikaphawk cathut kaawm e pueng teh, talai dawk reppasei lah koung a rawp awh toe telah rek a dei.
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 coungroe teh, katinkaawinae hmuen koehoi ka tho e miphun, ransahu BAWIPA tie Isarelnaw e Cathut ni a dei e hah, ka thai e patetlah nangmouh hah kâhruetcuetnae na poe awh.
11 The burden of Duma calleth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what of the eight? watchman, what of the night?
Oe ramveng, karum lah bangtelane Oe ramveng, karum lah bangtelane, telah Seir mon hoi kai hah na kaw.
12 The watchman said: The morning cometh, also the night: if you seek, seek: return, come.
Ramveng nihai, amom a pha doeh. Karum hai a pha doeh. Pacei han ngai pawiteh pacei awh. A hnukkhu bout tho awh, telah a ti.
13 The burden in Arabia. In the forest at evening you shall sleep, in the paths of Dedanim.
Kahlawng ka cet e Dedannaw, nangmouh teh Arabia ratu dawk karum na roe awh han.
14 Meeting the thirsty bring him water, you that inhabit the land of the south, meet with bread him that fleeth.
Tema ram dawk kaawm e taminaw, tui kahrannaw hanelah tui sin pouh awh. Nangmouh ni ka yawng e naw hah vaiyei hoi na dawn awh toe.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh tahloinaw e hmalah hoi thoseh, phawk e tahloi hmalah hoi thoseh, nue tangcoung e licung pala hmalah hoi thoseh, kâtuk nah um hoi thoseh na yawng awh toe.
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.
BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei. Thaw tawk hanelah hlai e naw ni a parei awh e kum lahoi, kum touh thung vah, Kedar kho e bawilennae pueng teh a pout han.
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.
Kacawie athakaawme Kedar capanaw, lipala ka patuem e ransanaw teh a youn awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw e Cathut Jehovah ni hottelah yo a dei toe.
