< Isaiah 3 >

1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water;
Pakai, van galsatte Pakai chun, Jerusalem le Judah ten akingainau athil jouseu, achanglhah lhon jouseu le atwi jouseu alahpeh ding,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
Apasal hat jouseu le agal-hang jouseu chule athutanhou le athemgaohou, athempuhou le upa ho panna-a,
3 The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter.
Galsat lamkaiho le avaihom lamkailenho, thumop-ho chule khutthemho le ahsi lekhathemho jouse kitolmang diu ahi.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Keiman chapang khangdongho chu alamkaiyuva kapansah ding, chapang chachan achunguva vai ahop diu ahi.
5 And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable,
Chuteng khatnin khat abol genthei ding, mihem khat chun mihem khat abol gentheiya chule amitinin aheng-akom abol genthei ding ahi. Khangdonghon jong upa ho ahin noise diu, milham maimai ho’n jong jaumtah miho chu anuisatnuva anoise diu ahi.
6 For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'
Hiche nikho lam chuleh pasal khat chun asopipa henga, “Nangin sangkhol chol naneiyin, kalamkaiyuva napan’a nangma vaihom nanoiya ikilamkai diu ahi,” ati ding ahi.
7 In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.'
Ahinlah amapa chun ahindonbut ding, “Kanompoi! Kei pangthei ponge. Ajehchu keiman anneh ding le ponsil ding kahaopoi. Hijehchun mopohna lathei ponge!” ati ding ahi.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of His glory.
Ijeh-inem itileh Jerusalem hung kipallhuding, Judah jong hung lhuding ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh amahon Pakai dounan thu aseiyun, Pakai thupeh ajuinom pouve. Chule Pakai maichangtaha taitomna aneikhumun ahi.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have wrought evil unto themselves.
Amaisou chun ahinau aphongdohun, Sodom mite bangin lhangphongtahin achonseuvin ahi. Achonsetnau selmangin aumtapon, Ohe! ada ahilhontai. Amanthahna diu amahon achamuva akiboldoh-u ahibouve.
10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Midihho vang chu seipeh-un, amaho dinga ijakai phasoh ding ahi. Atohphat gau akisan diu ahi!
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him.
Ohe migilouho vang mangthah diu ahi. Ajehchu agitlounau ga chu ahibangtaha akimu diu ahi.
12 As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Chapang tobang lamkaiho chun kamite asugentheiyun, numeihon jong avaihopkhumui. O kamite, nalamkaihovin nahin pui lamvai tauvin, lamdihlouva nahin pui tauve.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
Pakaiyin thutanna mun alotan, amite thutanpeh dingin atoutai.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses;
Pakai chu athutanna phongdoh dingin ahung naiyin, mipi vaihom ho le upa ho thu atanin, “Nanghon kalengpilei, Israel nachom tauve. Nainsunguvah migentheiho thil nachomhou akisedimset tai.
15 What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
Ipi nakingapchatnauva kamite nachotphauva, mivaichate maichang chu leivui toh nagoithau ham?” tiin Pakai, van galsatte Pakai chun aseiye.
16 Moreover the LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;
Pakaiyin hiti’n aseiyin, “Vetlomtah Zion hi akihoithosah-in, angong avaiputnin, amitnin mi alhemngolin, kihoithosahtahin akal asepmin, akeng-ngonga chaocha ging lhinglheng pumin lam ajotne.
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.
Hijeha chu Pakaiyin Zion Chanute chu alujangu pat dehduh-a ahin koi ding, alu-u tol gamding ahi.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents;
Thupi tan nikho chuleh Pakaiyin akicheihoinau jouse anoimangpeh diu, alu-uva akop-uleh akhi-ou kisan asutlhahpeh ding,
19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
Abilbahou, achaochau, amaikhuhou,
20 the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets;
Apon lutom le bantom, kengngonga aki-ou chaochaho, konga kivei diel jouse asutlhahpeh ding chule lunglathei kicheihoinaho le thaonamtuiho;
21 the rings, and the nose-jewels;
Khutjem, khi-o,
22 the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles;
Golvahni vonho, sangkholcholho, sangkhol-bantong le sumbomho,
23 and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles.
Phatvet, tupat ponnem, lujemhoiho chule ponsilho aboncha kilahdohpeh ding ahi.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
Gimnamtui nam talouva aui-athang joh nam diu, diel khella khaojang akigah diu, asam jolsellu jong pullhasoh ding ahi. Chule pon-ah hoitah khella khaodip-pon hamthethu akiah diu, jumnan amelhoina jouseu alekhu ding ahi.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Khopia pasalho chu chemjama kithatgam ding chule agal-hat-hou jong kidouna pholla thiden diu ahitai.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground.
Zion kelkot phunga chu kana le puldouna umding, akhopi chu numei kisuse-kisuthanghoi tolla kikhelpha-den tobang hiding ahi.
