Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it has been a heap—a ruin.
Damaskas kho hoi kâkuen e lawk teh, Khenhaw! Damaskas kho teh kho lah awm mahoeh toe. Ka rawk e songnawng lah doeh ao han toe.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken, They are for droves, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
Aroer khonaw teh kahrawngum, saringnaw ni pânae lah, yannae lah awm vaiteh, ka hrui hane apihai awm mahoeh.
3 And the fortress has ceased from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the glory of the sons of Israel, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
Rapan teh Ephraim kho hoi a kahma han. Uknaeram teh Damaskas kho hoi a kahma han. Kacawie Sirianaw teh Isarelnaw e bawilennae patetlah ao awh han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.
4 And it has come to pass in that day, The glory of Jacob waxes poor, And the fatness of his flesh waxes lean.
Hote hnin dawkvah, Jakop bawilennae teh a roum han, a thâwnae teh a kamsoe han.
5 And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the standing grain by the reaper, And his arm reaps the ears, And it has come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the Valley of Rephaim,
Cang ka a kung ni cavuinaw a pâkhueng navah, a kut hoi cavuinaw a a awh e patetlah Rephaim yawn dawk cavui pâhma e racawng e patetlah ao han.
6 And gleanings have been left in him, As the surrounding of an olive, Two—three berries on the top of a branch, Four—five on the fruitful boughs, A declaration of YHWH, God of Israel!
Hatei, olive paw hah karuek toteh, a som dawk kahni kathum touh ka paw e a kang, paw rah pawiteh, pali panga touh ouk ao e patetlah pâhma e cang a cawi nahanlah ao han telah Isarelnaw e Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
7 In that day man looks to His Maker, Indeed, his eyes look to the Holy One of Israel,
Hat hnin vah, tami ni kasakkung koe a khet vaiteh, a mit ni Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut hah a bari han.
8 And he does not look to the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made, He does not see—the Asherim and the images.
Amamouh ni a kut hoi a sak awh e khoungroenaw koe kangvawi awh mahoeh. Amamae kutdawnnaw hoi a sak awh e hmuitui sawinae Asherim khoungroenaw koe lah kangvawi awh mahoeh.
9 In that day the cities of his strength are As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It has also been a desolation.
Hat hnin dawkvah, amamae kacakpounge khonaw teh, Isarelnaw kecu dawk a ceitakhai e kahrawngum hoi monsom patetlah ao vaiteh, kingkadi e lah ao han.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not remembered the Rock of your strength, Therefore you plant plants of pleasantness, And sow it with a strange shoot,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh nama e rungngangnae Cathut hah na pahnim teh, nama e kânguenae talung hah pouk dounnae na tawn hoeh. Hatdawkvah, nang ni na ngai e thingthairompo na ung eiteh, ramlouknaw e misur kang hah na ung han.
11 You cause your plant to become great in the day, And make your seed to flourish in the morning, The harvest [is] a heap in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.
Na ungnae hnin dawkvah, na roung sak teh, cati na patuenae amom vah, a pei na pei sak han. Hatei, patawnae hoi kahmat thai hoeh e runae a tho hnin navah, caticamu anae tueng a kahma han.
12 Woe [to] the multitude of many peoples, They sound as the sounding of seas; And the roaring of nations, As the roaring of mighty waters [that] make a crashing.
Aya! miphunnaw e hramki lawk bo aw. Ahnimouh teh, athakaawme tui a cairing e patetlah a cairing awh han.
13 Nations crash as the roaring of many waters, And He rebuked them, And they fled far off, And were pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a windstorm.
Miphunnaw teh tui moikapap e a cairing e patetlah ka cairing awh nakunghai, Bawipa nang ni ahnimanaw hah na yue toteh, ahlanae koe a yawng awh han. Mon vah kahlî palek e cahik patetlah bongparui ni a sin e songnawng patetlah pâlei lah ao awh han.
14 At evening, behold, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
Kanî a khup navah khenhaw! taki a tho poung khe. Khodai totouh ahnimouh awm mahoeh toe. Hethateh, maimouh na ka tuk ni teh na ka lawm e naw ni a coe awh hane ham, maimouh na ka lawm e naw koe kabawt hane cungpam doeh.
