Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
Egypt kah olrhuh, BOEIPA tah khomai dongah yanghoep la ngol tih Egypt la pawk. A mikhmuh ah Egypt mueirhol rhoek te hlinghlawk tih Egypt rhoek kah a thinko tah a khui ah paci coeng.
2 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Egypt te Egypt neh ka et thil vetih hlang long he a manuca khaw, hlang pakhat loh a hui khaw, khopuei neh khopuei khaw, ram pakhat ram pakhat a vathoh thil ni.
3 And the spirit of Egypt has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.
Egypt kah a mueihla tah a khui ah hoep vetih a cilsuep ka hmaang sak ni. Te vaengah te mueirhol taengla, lung aka khueh, rhaitonghma neh hnam taengla a dawt uh bitni.
4 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
Egypt te mangkhak boei rhoek kut ah ka det vetih amih te manghai aka tlung loh a ngol thil ni. Caempuei Yahovah Boeipa kah olphong coeng ni.
5 And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
Tuipuei tui khaw kak ni. Tuiva khaw rhaeng vetih haang ni.
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
Tuiva te khaw pam vetih bawn ni. Egypt capu sokko te kak vetih carhaek khaw tloih ni.
7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
Sokko neh sokko hmoi kah sulhing neh sokko mutue boeih khaw rhae ni. Cuhu vetih om voel mahpawh.
8 And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
Tuihoi rhoek te huei uh vetih sokko ah vaih aka voei, lawk aka thing rhoek khaw boeih nguekcoi uh vetih tui soah tahah uh ni.
9 And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
Hlamik a yawt neh aka thotat tih, hlabok aka tak rhoek khaw yak uh ni.
10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
A rhungsut te tlawt vetih, kutphu la aka saii boeih khaw a hinglu ngat ni.
11 Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
Zoan mangpa rhoek khaw ang uh tangkik coeng tih Pharaoh kah olrhoep hlangcueih rhoek kah cilsuep khaw a dom coeng. Pharaoh te metlamlae, “Kamah tah hlamat kah manghai koca khuiah khaw ka cueih ca,” na ti eh?
12 Where [are] they now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against Egypt!
Nang kah hlangcueih rhoek te maelae me? Nang taengah ha puen uh laeh vetih caemgpuei Yahovah loh Egypt a caai thil te a ming uh laeh mako.
13 Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
Zoan mangpa rhoek te nga uh tih Noph mangpa rhoek khaw rhaithi uh thae. Egypt nim te amah koca rhoek te a cong cong ah kho a hmang uh coeng.
14 YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs in his vomit.
BOEIPA loh a khui ah lungbuei lukil hnaven neh a thoek tih kho a hmang uh coeng. Egypt loh amah khoboe cungkuem dongah khohmang bangla a lok neh rhui uh.
15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
A lu neh a mai khaw, rhophoe neh canghlong khaw Egypt ham bitat aka saii thai te a om moenih.
16 In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving over it.
Tekah khohnin ah tah Egypt khaw huta bangla om vetih lakueng ni. Te vaengah anih a thueng thil caempuei BOEIPA kah kut thueng hmai ah birhih pueng ni.
17 And the land of Judah has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling against it.
Judah khohmuen te Egypt taengah birhihkuihut la om ni. Anih a phoei carhui te khaw a taengah birhih ni. caempuei BOEIPA kah cilsuep loh anih a uen coeng.
18 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
Tekah khohnin ah Egypt kho ah Kanaan ol la aka cal khopuei panga om ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA taengla ol aka caeng khopuei pakhat te tah koengloengnah khopuei a ti ni.
19 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,
Tekah khohnin ah Yahovah kah hmueihtuk te Egypt khohmuen kah a laklung ah, a khorhi ah Yahovah kah kaam om ni.
20 And it has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered them.
Egypt khohmuen ah caempuei BOEIPA kah miknoek neh laipai la om ni. Aka nen kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA taengla a pang uh vaengah amih aka khang tih aka tungaep ham te a tueih pah vetih amih te a huul ni.
21 And YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].
BOEIPA loh Egypt te a tukkil vetih Egypt loh BOEIPA te a ming uh ni. Te khohnin ah hmueih neh khocang neh tho a thuenguh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng uh vetih a thuung uh ni.
22 And YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed them.
BOEIPA loh Egypt te a yawk sak ni. A yawk sak tih a hoeih daengah ni BOEIPA taengla a mael uh eh. Amih a thangthui uh vaengah amih te a hoeih sak ni.
23 In that day a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
Te khohnin ah Egypt lamloh Assyria duela longpuei om. Assyria te Egypt la, Egypt khaw Assyria la cet ni. Egypt neh Assyria loh tho a thueng ni.
24 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Te khohnin ah Israel te a pathum la Egypt neh Assyria taengah diklai laklung kah yoethennah neh om van ni.
25 In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
Anih te caempuei BOEIPA loh a uem vetih, “Ka pilnam Egypt neh ka kut saii Assyria khaw, ka rho Israel khaw a yoethen,” a ti ni.
