Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
Babylon nu, oila suntla lamtah laipi dongah ngol lah. Khalden nu loh ngolkhoel om kolla diklai ah ngol laeh. Nang te mongkawt neh hlangcong la koep ng'khue uh mahpawh.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Kuelhsum te lo lamtah vaidam kuelh laeh. Na samtum te poelyoe lamtah na hniboeng te khawn laeh. Na laeng hil khawn lamtah tuiva te kat lah.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
Na yah loh n'yan vetih nang kokhahnah te a phoe ni. Phulohnah kang khuen vetih hlang te ka doo mahpawt nim?
4 As for our redeemer, Yhwh of Armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Kaimih aka tlan tah caempuei BOEIPA, a ming tah Israel kah a cim ni.
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.
Khalden nu te om duem lamtah a hmuep te paan laeh. Nang te ram kah boeinu a ti te na khoep voel mahpawh.
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Ka pilnam taengah ka thintoek. Kamah rho mai nang kut dongah kam paek he rho ni ka poeih. Patong soah haidamnah na khueh pawt tih na hnamkun neh mat na nan.
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
“Kumhal boeinu la ka om yoeyah ni,” na ti cakhaw na lungbuei ah na khueh pawt tih a hmailong khaw na poek hae moenih.
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Te dongah he he hnatun laeh. Khosak aka yahuem loh ngaikhuek la a thinko khuiah, “Kai khaw kamah ah ka bawt mahpawh, nuhmai la koep ka om mahpawh, polpainah khaw ka ming voel mahpawh,” a ti.
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Tedae he rhoi he mikhaptok ah ni nang taengla ha pawk eh. Khohnin pakhat dongah polpai neh hmairho loh a thincaknah neh nang soah ha pawk ni. Sungrhai neh na baetawt cakhaw, na hloih kah thaomnah te yet tangkik mai cakhaw.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Na boethae dongah na pangtung tih, “Kai m'hmuh moenih,” na ti. Na cueihnah neh na mingnah loh namah m'balkhong sak vaengah a na lungbuei neh, “Kamah phoeiah tah kai ka bawt pueng aya,” na ti.
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Tedae nang soah yoethaenah ha pawk vetih nang n'toem te na ming mahpawh. Lucik loh nang n'cuhu thil vetih a dawth ham khaw coeng mahpawh. Na ming noek pawh khohli rhamrhael loh nang te buengrhuet m'paan ni.
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Na hloih nen khaw paa laeh. Na camoe lamkah na kohnue thil namah kah sungrhai aka hawn uh nen te na rhoeh khaming. Na hoeikhang ham na sarhing khaming.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Na cilsuep a len nen khaw na ngak coeng dongah paa laeh. Vaan aka caekboe la aka caekboe, aisi dongkah aka hmu, hlasae dongah nang taengah aka pawk ham aka ming loh nang te ng'khang saeh.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Divawt hmai bangla tarha om uh. Amih te a hoeh vetih a hinglu te hmaisai kut lamloh huul uh thai mahpawh. A taengah ngol ham khaw, hmaipuei phabae te hmai-alh om pawh.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Na camoe lamkah na thimpom puei rhoek na kohnue thil hnap te khaw namah taengah ni a om uh te. Hlang loh amah khongan ah kho a hmang uh coeng tih nang aka khang a om moenih.
