< Isaiah 17 >
1 The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
Damascus chung chang thu’a hitihin thuhil ahunge: ven, Damascus khopi hi hungmang thah ding ahi! Mangthai thil kise lom hung hiding ahi.
2 Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Aroer khopiho dalhah in hung um mintin, kelngoi hon lhat lena a aneidiu chuleh asuboi diu umlouva kol diu ahi Anodoh ding mijong umlou ding ahi.
3 And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
Israel kulpi sunga um khopi ho jong suhmangin hung um intin, Damascus leng thanei najong kisubei ding ahitai. Syria'a amoh chengsen Israel chate loupina kinung lahpeh dinmun hung chang diu ahi,” tin van janel Pakai chun aphongdoh tai.
4 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
Hiche nikho teng chuleh Israel loupina hung thim cheh cheh intin; a tahsa hoi na jong moh man jeng ding ahi.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Chang le min aki khoptup jouteng leh agamsung chu chang le mim lou hung bang ding ahi. Mi chen louna gamthip hintin, Rephaim phaichama chang le mim ki khoptup jouva lou ho hung bang ding ahi.
6 And there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
Amite hon lhomcha bou dalhah a umdiu, theichang tamtah kilo nunga lamvai tah a lhang themkhat kikhen bang diu ahi. Ni ham thum ham abah sangpenna um muntin, li le nga chu abah noilanga ana kithethang inte,” tin Pakai, Israel Pathenin aseije.
7 On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward the Holy One of Israel.
Akhon nileh min asempa ahin vetdiu, chuleh amit nun Israel Mitheng Pa lang ahin ngat diu ahi.
8 And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sun-images.
Milim semthu hoa kona panpina avet tah loudiu, akhut tah uva asemu milim hojong ahoutah loudiu ahi. Asherah chunga jong bohkhup talou heldiu, milim houna ding asah u houin sunga jong ahou tah louhel diu ahi.
9 On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be desolate.
Akho piu lentah ho gammang koima umna lou bangding, Israel te phat masa peh a ahunglut jeh uva Hivites teleh Amor miten adalhah u gam bang ding ahi. Mi chenlouna gammang nasatah hiding ahi.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
Ipi jeh enem itileh nahuhhing thei Pathen akonin na kihei mange. Nasel thei songpi chu na sumil tai. Man neitah muchi ho nahin poh lut theija, lengpi thei phatah na tu thei nading ahi.
11 [Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
Na phu nikho leh ahung kedoh pai thei nading; Ahi, na tuni jingkah mama leh ahung pah lhah thei nading, ahin lengpithei ga khatcha loding umlou ding ahi. Khop tup ding nanei chasun chu lung gentheina dimset leh thoh joulou natna hiding ahitai.
12 Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!
Ngaijin! Chitin namtin galsat sepai ho twi khanglen gin kithong leng lung banga agin lullul u khu. Ngaijin thahattah'a hung kithong jenjun ho khu twi khanglen kinon gin abangu ve.
13 The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
Ahin twi khanglen pang sukeh gin kithong bang jongleu, Pathenin asuhthip diu, chuleh amaho chu lhaimang diu ahi. Hui jin changvai amutcheh bang diu, ching peijin leivui apeimang tobang ding ahi.
14 At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.
Nilhah teng Israel in tijah tah a angajing diu, ahin kho hung vahteng agalmi ho u ana thiji taove. Hiche hi eichom hou dihtah a achandiu dol changu va ahin, eisumang hou chan dinga lom chang uva ahi.
