Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Damasku kah olrhuh, Damasku tah khopuei lamloh a khoe coeng tih imrhong la om pawn ni ke.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Aroer khopuei a hnoo uh te tuping ham a om pah vetih a kol thil vaengah hawt mahpawh.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ephraim lamkah hmuencak neh Damasku lamkah ram khaw kangkuen ni. Aram aka sueng te Israel ca rhoek kah thangpomnah la om ni. caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Jakob kah thangpomnah tlayae vetih a pum a putsut te khaw yawih ni.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Cangat loh canghli lamkah a coi tih a ban ah cangvuei a pawn vaengkah bangla om ni. Rapha kol kah cangmo aka yoep bangla om bal ni.
6 Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as at the beating of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the branches of the fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
Tedae olive a hlinghloek vaengah a soi thaih dong panit pathum neh a thairhah dongkah pali panga a om banghui la aka yoep rhoek te om ni. Israel Pathen Yahovah kah olphong coeng ni.
7 In that day shall a man regard his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
Tekah khohnin ah tah hlang loh amah aka saii te a uem vetih a mik loh Isreal kah aka Cim te a hmuh ni.
8 And he shall not regard the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he look to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
A kut saii hmueihtuk te uem voel pawt vetih, a kutdawn kah a saii Asherah neh bunglawn te khaw hmu voel mahpawh.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel, after the manner of woods and lofty forests; and it shall be a desolation.
Te khohnin ah a lunghim khopuei te thingkho a hnoo bangla a om pah ni. Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamloh a hnoo uh moldong te khaw khopong la poeh ni.
10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and thou hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy stronghold; therefore thou didst plant plants of pleasantness, and didst set it with slips of a stranger;
Namah kah daemnah Pathen te na hnilh tih, na lunghim lungpang te na poek pawh. Te dongah omthen thinghloe na phung cakhaw kholong thingluei lo ni na tawn eh.
11 In the day of thy planting thou didst make it to grow, and in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom — a heap of boughs in the day of grief and of desperate pain.
Na thinghloe te hnin at dongah na hlul sak dae mincang kah na cangtii te pahoi a cuen sak dae cang som a kha hnin ah thakkhoeihnah nen ni a rhawp.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Anunae pilnam tah tuipuei kah hue a sak bangla muep hlangping uh tih, hue a sakuh. Tui rhilh kah longlonah bangla namtu kah longlonah khaw phul.
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but He shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Namtu rhoek tui yet kah longlonah bangla a phul vaengah amah te a tluung tih khohla bangsang la rhaelrham. Hli toe tlang kah cangkik bangla a hloem tih humhae neh cangpalam bangla tinghil sut.
14 At eventide behold terror; and before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Kholaeh tue vaengah mueirhih loh mincang due anih khueh voel mahpawh ke. Mamih aka rheth kah hamsum neh mamih aka poelyoe kah hmulung tah he coeng ni.
