< 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 chung changin hitihin thuhil ahunge: Ven! Egypt dou din Pakai meibol chunga atouvin man gangtah in ahung naitai. Egypt a semthu limho akihot ling gam in ahi. Ki chatna Egypt mite lung sunga ajunsah gam tan ahi.
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.
“Keiman Egypt te leh Egypt te ka kidou to sahding-sopi leh sopi ki douding, in heng leh in heng ki douding, khopi leh khopi ki douding, gamsung leh gamsung ka kidou sah ding ahi.
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 te lung sung hung lhasam intin, chuleh a thilgon hou jong hekhen thei louva ka koi ding ahi. A milim semthu pathen henga chihna thum’a taodingu, chuleh thisa lhagao hotoh ki houho ahin, lhagao dang dang akou dingu ahi.
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.
Keiman Egypt hi mi lungsel tah leh mi khanse tah vaihom khat koma kapeh doh ding ahi. Leng gilou tah khat nin achung'uva vai ahom dingu ahi,” tin Pakai, van janel Pakai chun aseije.
5 And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
Nile vadung ho jong hung sangdoh jou pontin, chuleh loumun ho jong twisoh in achap joulou ding ahi. Vadung hojong go gam hel jeng ding ahi.
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
Nile twilam hojong kang hel ding, chuleh Egypt a twilong ho jong ui lha jeng ding, pumpeng mon hojong namse lha jeng ding ahi.
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.
Vapanga hamhing eng'a eng jouse leh vadung lonna jonna keh, chang le mim ho jouse go gam intin, amut mang soh helding ahi.
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.
Ngaman hon atoh diu lhahsam jeh in pul adou diu ahi. Nile munna ngakoi ho chu peng choi choi diu ahin, len sep hochu alung mang diu ahi.
9 And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
Linum pat phunga um patjang chomkhom ding umpon tin, pon khong hon pat aneilou diu ahi.
10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
Lunglha soh keidiu, natong ho jouse alung u natna dim ding ahi.
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 a thuneiho iti ngol hitao vam! Egypt lengpa thumop phapen apeh ujong ngolthu leh adihlou ahibouve. Pharaoh masanga achihnao akisonpi nah lai diu ham?
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!
Miching thumop them nanei houchu hoilanga um uva hitam, Pharaoh? Pathen thil gon hochu nasei peh u hen lang, thaneipen Pakai chun Egypt chunga ipi ahinbol ding ham, seiju hen.
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 thuneiho mingol ahiu vin, chuleh Memphis thuneiho lhep lhah’a um ahiuve. Mipi lamkai hon Egypt chu apui mah thah u ahitai.
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.
Pakaijin ngolna lhagao achungu va ahin solin, hichun alunggel hou jouse asu mon ahi. Israel te lung saih nan alhan, lon don donga jukham ho aloh uto abanguve.
15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
Egypt in bolthei na imacha aneitapoi. Abonun panpi bei ahitaove-alu lang leh amei lang, lusuna bah leh pumpeng hijong leh ima abolthei ding a umtapoi.
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.
Hiche nikho teng chuleh numei ho banga Egypt te lhasam tah a umdiu ahi. Amaho chu ki im chuh chuh a tijatah a vanmi janel Pakai khut tum noija umdiu ahi.
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.
Israel min kiphah maimai a kona jong tijatna a dim diu ahi. Ajeh chu vanmi janel Pakai chun amaho douna dinga thilgon anei ahitai.
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.
Hiche nikho teng chule Egypt a khopi len nga hon vanmi janel Pakai chu ajui dingu ahi. Amahon Hebrew, Canaan pao geija atho dingu ahi. Khopi len khat pen chu Heliopolis, Nisa khopi ahi.
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,
Hiche nikho teng leh Pakai a maicham semna Egypt te lungsunga hung umding ahi. Chuleh Pakai a het jingna thil khat agamgi uva umding ahi.
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 gam'a vanmi janel Pakai akihou ve ti melchihna leh hettohsah apang ding ahi. Mipin Pakai henga asugenthei houva kona panpina athum teng uleh, aman a huhdoh diu asolpeh ding ahi.
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].
Pakai chu Egypt mite henga kiphongdoh ding ahi. Pakai chu hin heuvin tin, maicham leh thilto ho ahin todiu ahitai. Pakai a kitepna aneidiu chuleh hichu akolchah beh diu ahitai.
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.
Pakai in Egypt ahin jepding chuteng chuleh damna ahin pohlut peh ding ahi. Ajehchu Egypt mite chu Pakai henga kihei lut diu, aman ataonao angaipeh a, asuhdam ding ahi.
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.
Hiche niteng chule Egypt leh Assyria kikah a lamlhongpi khat hung kijam lut ding ahi. Egypt mite leh Assyria mite agam kikah uva boina beihel a kijotto diu chuleh hingjing Pathen chu ahoudiu ahi.
24 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Chuleh Israel te toh kisam kaina aneidiu ahi. A thum uva kigom khom diu, chuleh Israel chu anilhon adinga phattheina hiding ahi.
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!”
Ajehchu van janel Pakai chun hita hi ahinsei ding ahi, “Egypt phatthei changhen, kamite Assyria phatthei changhen, kasem gam Israel phatthei changhen, kagou lupen!”
