Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
Hete lawk teh Taire hoi kâkuen e lawk doeh. Tarshish longnaw, cingou awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Taire kho teh im awm hoeh. Tuirai kâhatnae ao hoeh totouh, raphoe lah ao toe. Kittim ram hoi patuen thai lah ao.
2 Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
Tuilum dawk kaawm e naw sairasuep lah awm awh. Tuipui dawk ka cet kaawm e Sidon hno ka yawt naw, nangmouh teh na tawnta sak awh toe.
3 The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.
Ka kaw poung e tui van vah, hot kho e aphawng teh, Shihor cati lah kaawm e Nai palang e a paw doeh.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
Oe Sidon kho, kayak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui rapan niyah, kai teh camo hai ka vawn hoeh, ca hai ka khe hoeh, thoundounnaw hai ka khenyawn hoeh, tanglanaw hai ka paroung hoeh telah a ti.
5 When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
Izip ram vah kamthang a pha toteh, Taire kho kamthang kecu dawk, ahnimouh teh puenghoi a lungpuen awh han.
6 Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
Tarshish kho lah raka awh. Tuilum dawk kaawm e taminaw, cingou awh haw.
7 Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Akungtuen kamtawngnae teh, ayan hoi e lah ao teh, ahlanae koe na khok ni na ceikhai teh, nangmae na lamtunae kho teh, hettelah namaw ao vaw.
8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
Bawilukhungnaw ouk ka poe e kho lah ao nahlangva, ahnie hno kayawtnaw teh, kahrawikungnaw lah a coung awh teh, hno kayawtnaw teh talai van oup e lah kaawm e Taire kho hoi kâtaran lah apimouh hete pouknae hah ka tâcawtkhai va.
9 The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.
Ransahu BAWIPA niyah, bawilennae kâoupnae kaawm e pueng hah, banglah ngaihoeh nahane hoi, talai van e ouphlawpnae pueng yeiraipo sak hanelah, hottelah a noe toe.
10 Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
Oe Tarshish kho tanglakacuemnaw, ka khoumkung ao hoeh toung dawkvah, Nai palang patetlah bout lawng lawih.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.
Bawipa ni tuipui van vah a kut a dâw teh, uknaeramnaw hah a kâhuet sak. Kanaan hoi kâkuen lah, kacakpounge rapanimnaw hah raphoe hanelah BAWIPA ni kâ a poe.
12 And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
Rektap lah kaawm e tanglakacuem, Sidon canu, nang teh na lung bout hawinae awm mahoeh toe. Thaw haw. Kittim ram lah raka haw. Haw e hmuen koehai nang hanelah, kâhatnae hmuen awm mahoeh, telah a ti.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
Khaldeannaw e ram hah, khenhaw! Ahnimouh teh ayan vah awm awh hoeh. Assiria ni hote ram hah, ramke um e moithangnaw hanelah a tawn awh. Ahnimouh ni, rapan ramvengim a sak awh teh, hote kho rapan hah a raphoe awh teh, hote kho hah ka rawk e imrawng lah ao sak awh.
14 Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
Tarshish longnaw cingou awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae ramvengimnaw teh raphoe lah ao toe.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot.
Hatnae hnin dawkvah, Taire kho teh, siangpahrang buet touh e se patetlah kum 70 touh thung pahnim lah ao han. Kum 70 touh a baw navah, ka kâyawt e napui ni la sak e dawk e patetlah Taire kho vah ao han.
16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered.
Oe pahnim lah kaawm e ka kâyawt e napui, ratoung hah lat nateh, kho hah lawngven haw. Nang hah hlawt na pouk awh nahanelah, ngai kaawm lah kueng nateh, la moi sak haw.
17 And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Kum 70 abaw toteh, BAWIPA teh Taire kho khet hanelah a tho han. Hote kho teh, amae aphu koe bout ban vaiteh, talaivan uknaeram puenghoi yah bout a kâyo han.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
Hatei, ahnie hnopai yonae aphunaw teh, BAWIPA han thoungnae lah ao han. Hot hah pâkuem mahoeh. Ahnie hnopai yo e teh, BAWIPA hmalah kaawmnaw hanelah teh, ka khout e rawca hoi khohna kahawi naw hah a kabawp han.
