< Isaiah 31 >

1 Tragedy is coming to those who appeal to Egypt for help, depending on their horses and trusting in all their chariots and charioteers! They don't look to the Holy One of Israel for help; they don't ask the Lord for advice.
Ipi lungjin nan angao ahitadem Egypt henga panpina thumho, a sakol hou, sakol kangtalaiho chuleh atol ho chunga kinepna aneijin, Pakai lang vet tah sanga galsat sepai ho hatna in akisong uvin ahi.
2 Yet he's also wise! He will bring disaster and won't withdraw his orders. He will take action against this wicked nation and the evil people who help them.
Pakai chu chingtah ahin, vangsetna nasatah ahin lhunsah ding ahi; a lunggel akhel lou ding ahi. Migilou te douna'a hung thoudoh ding chuleh akithopi apang ho adou ding ahi.
3 The Egyptians are only human beings—they're not God! Their horses are only physical, not spiritual. When the Lord lifts up his hand to attack, those who came to help will stumble, and those who are helped will fall. They will all die together.
Ajehchu Egypt mite hi mihem maimai ahibouvun, Pathen ahipou ve! A sakol hou jong phengai ngen ahiuvin, thanei jong ahipouve! Pakai in amaho douna'a akhuttum ahinjel tengleh akithopi hou hung kipallhu diu, akithopi teu jong lhu diu ahi. Abonun hunglhu untin, thikhom soh keidiu ahi.
4 This is what the Lord told me: It's like a young lion growling as it stands over its prey. Even though a lot of shepherds come to protest, it's not frightened off by their shouting or intimidated by all their noise. In the same way the Lord Almighty will come down to fight on Mount Zion.
Ahin hiche hi ahi Pakai in eiseipeh chu: “Humpi bahkai nou in kelngoi atha'a achunga dinga a ngeh lut lut teng, kelngoi ching ho hontamtah in ging lul lul in poh thethu jong leu atija dehpon ahi. Hiche banga chu, vanmi janel Pakai chu hung kum lhantin, Zion Mol'a asatding ahi.
5 Like birds that hover above, so the Lord Almighty will take care of Jerusalem. He will protect it and save it; he will pass over it and rescue it.
Van janel Pakai chu Jerusalem chung dunga leng lentin, vachan abuh ahuhbit banga ahuh bit ding ahi. Khopi chu adal'a, ahuhdoh ding ahi; achunga galkai lea ahuhdoh ding ahi!”
6 Come back, Israelites, to the one you so blatantly rebelled against.
Nangho midouhat migiloutah hijong leu chun, ka mite nahijeh un, hungun lang, Pakai kom'a din hung kile tao vin.
7 For at that time every one of you will throw away all the idols of silver and gold made by your own sinful hands.
Niloupi tah khat hung lhung ding ahi ti kahei. Ajeh chu nachonset nau khut in asem thu sana'a kisem leh dangka'a kisem pathen ho amichang cheh in ahin pai mang diu ahi.
8 The Assyrians will be killed by the sword of one who is not a man. They will destroyed by the sword of one who is not mortal. They will run away at the sight of the sword, and the young Assyrian men will be taken away as slave laborers.
“Assyria mite chu suhmanga umtei ding ahin, mihem chemjam'a kon hilouding ahi. Pathen chemjam chun asat diu, chuteng kichau va jammang diu ahi. Assyria khangthah hat tah tah hochu gal hinga kaimanga umdiu ahi.
9 Their “rock” will be scared to death, and their officers will be terrified and in panic at the sight of the battle flag, declares the Lord, who has his fire in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ahat tah jong tija'a kithing diu, chuleh leng chapa tejong na gal ponlap ho amuteng uleh jammang soh keidiu ahitai,” tin Pakai, Zion'a meihal pa, a meikou in Jerusalem apat ahin kousuh sah pan aseijin ahi.
