< Isaiah 47 >
1 Come down, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shalt no more be called delicate and tender.
Oe Babilon canu tanglakacuem, kum nateh vaiphu dawk tahung haw. Oe Khaldean canu, bawitungkhung dawk laipalah, talai dawk tahung haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kanem e hoi kanaw e telah bout dei awh mahoeh toe.
2 Take a millstone and grind meal: uncover thy shame, strip thy shoulder, make bare thy legs, pass over the rivers.
Sum hah lat nateh, cakang hah phawm haw. Minhmai ramuk hah hawng haw. Angkidung hah rading haw. Na hna hah na phai totouh kalim nateh, palang raka haw.
3 Thy nakedness shall be discovered, and thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and no man shall resist me.
Nang teh, caici lah na o han, Yeirai na po han. Moi ka pathung vaiteh, apihai ka pasai mahoeh.
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Maimouh na karatangkung min teh, ransahu BAWIPA, Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut tie doeh.
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdoms.
Oe Khaldean canu, duem tahung nateh, hmonae koe kâenh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh Napui e uknaeram teh lah na kaw mahoeh toe.
6 I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and have given them into thy bend: thou hast shewn no mercy to them: upon the ancient thou hast laid thy yoke exceeding heavy.
Ka taminaw koe ka lungkhuek dawkvah, ka râw hah ka khin sak teh na kut dawk na poe. Nang ni na lungma hoeh. Katawngnaw koe hnokari na phu sak.
7 And thou hast said: I shall be a lady for ever: thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, neither hast thou remembered thy latter end.
Kai teh siangpahrang lah pou ka o han telah na pouk dawkvah, hete hnonaw hah na pouk hoeh. Nang dawk a hnukteng ka phat hane hai bout na panuek hoeh.
8 And now hear these things, thou that art delicate, and dwellest confidently, that sayest in thy heart: I am, and there is none else besides me: I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know barrenness.
Hatdawkvah, hringnawmnae dueng ka tawng niteh, pamda laihoi kaawm e, ma imthung dawk kai doeh toe, kai hoi kâvan e apihai awm hoeh. Lahmainu lah kaawm mahoeh. Camo duenae ka khang mahoeh ka tet e, atu thaw haw.
9 These two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, barrenness and widowhood. All things are come upon thee, because of the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great hardness of thy enchanters.
Hete hno kahni touh: camo duenae hoi lahmainu lah onae ni hnin hni touh, tawkkadek dawk na tho sin han. Na onae hoi na kâringnae teh kapap nakunghai hotnaw teh nang koe puenghoi a tho han.
10 And thou best trusted in thy wickedness, and hast said: There is none that seeth me. Thy wisdom, and thy knowledge, this hath deceived thee. And thou best said in thy heart: I am, and besides me there is no other.
Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, na hawihoehnae hah na kâuep teh, apinihai na hmawt hoeh na la ti. Na lungangnae hoi na panuenae ni na dum teh, kai doeh toe, kai hloilah alouke awm hoeh toe telah na lungthung hoi na ti.
11 Evil shall come upon thee, and then shalt not know the rising thereof: and calamity shall fall violently upon thee, which thou canst not keep off: misery shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Hatdawkvah, nang koe thoenae teh a tho han. Nâhoi maw, a tho tie hah na panuek mahoeh. Yawthoenae ni na tho sin vaiteh, hot teh na kahmat sak thai mahoeh. Na panue thai hoeh e rawknae hah nang koe vaitalahoi a tho han.
12 Stand now with thy enchanters, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth, if so be it may profit thee any thing, or if thou mayst become stronger.
Na nawca hoi na tawk e na kâringnae hoi taânsinnae naw hah kangdoutkhai ka lawnh. Hawinae hmu hai na hmu yawkaw han, tâ hai na tâ yawkaw han doeh.
13 Thou hast failed in the multitude or thy counsels: let now the astrologers stand and save thee, they that gazed at the stars, and counted the months, that from them they might tell the things that shall come to thee.
Nang teh, kâpankhaikung apap kecu dawk ngawt na tâwn toe khe. Atuvah asikhetkathoumnaw hoi âsi karadoungnaw, thapa khet lahoi ka dei thai e naw teh nang dawk ka tho hane hno dawk hoi kangdout awh naseh. Nang hah atu na rungngang naseh.
14 Behold they are as stubble, fire hath burnt them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the dames: there are no coals wherewith they may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sit thereat.
Khenhaw! ahnimanaw teh, caphon patetlah ao awh, hmaisawi lah ao awh han. Hmai ka kang e dawk hoi na rungngang thai awh mahoeh. Ka bet sak e hmaisaan awm hoeh, kamben hane hmai awm mahoeh.
15 Such are all the things become to thee, in which thou best laboured: thy merchants from thy youth, every one hath erred in his own way, there is none that can save thee.
Hot patetlah na tawk e hno teh nang hanlah ao han. Na naw nah hoi na pâtung e hnonaw hah amamae lam dawk koung kâva vaiteh, apinihai na rungngang thai mahoeh.
