Isaiah 18
1 Tragedy is coming to the land of whirring wings that lies along the rivers of Ethiopia,
Ngaijin, Ethiopia-kong lha jap ging banga ging jeju gam, Nile vadung ho gal’a um,
2 They send messengers downriver in papyrus boats. Swift messengers, go and take a message to a tall and smooth-skinned people, to a people feared by everyone, to a very powerful nation of conquerors, whose land is washed away by rivers.
palaiho a vadungu lhang lang geija mangang tah a kong’a ahin sollu. Cheuvin palai mangang ho! Hiche thuhil hi vun nampet misangho gapeu vin, anai le gamla a um tijat umte, nam tha hat leh gal jou mite, agam u vadung hon a hopkhen mite henga chun,
3 All you people of the world, everyone who lives on earth—you will see when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will hear when a trumpet sounds.
Nangho vannoi ja chengho, leiset chunga hing jousen-lhang chunga kagal ponlap kahin khaisang teng, veuvin! Kelcha ki kahin mut teng, ana ngaijun!
4 For this is what the Lord has told me: I will watch quietly from where I live, quiet as heat haze in sunlight, quiet as a mistcloud in the heat of harvest.
Ajehchu Pakaijin hitin eiseipeh in; “Ka umna akona thip chetna kahin vetding-nipi laiya oltah a ahungsat cheh cheh banga, jingkah daitui chang le mim kikhop tup jouva a hung lhah banga khu”.
5 For before the harvest, after the flower is gone and becomes an unripe grape, he prunes the vine with a knife to take out the shoots and branches.
Gal nasat pat masanga jong, nathil gonho lengpithei banga ahung minset teng, Pakai jin bahche a ache kim ding ahi athah hung kehdoh ho chu. Abah hung kipha jal ho achelhah a apampai ding ahi.
6 They will all be left as carrion for the birds of prey of the mountains, and for the wild animals. The birds will eat them in summer, and all the wild animals in winter.
Muthong holeh gamsaho dinga na sepai gal hang ho loujaova athisa kidalha ding ahiuve. Nipi lai sung se amu thong hon thilong ho chunga kisa lel diu ahi. Phalbi lai sungse a agu ho aket diu ahi.
7 At that time a gift will be brought to the Lord Almighty from a tall and smooth-skinned people, from a people feared by everyone, from a very powerful nation of conquerors, whose land is washed away by rivers. It will be brought to Mount Zion, the place identified with the Lord Almighty.
Hiche phatteng a gamsung u vadung in ahop khen, mi sang leh vun namte, sah le lhangin akichat te, thahattah te akon, Pakai tha neipen in thilpeh amuding ahi. Hiche thil pehding ho chu van janel Pakai umna mun Jerusalem a ahin choidiu ahi.
