< Isaiah 18 >

1 Ho! thou land of rustling wings, Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia!
Ngaijin, Ethiopia-kong lha jap ging banga ging jeju gam, Nile vadung ho gal’a um,
2 That sendest thy messengers upon the sea, In reed-boats upon the face of the waters: Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and fair, To a people terrible from the first and onward, To a mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers!
palaiho a vadungu lhang lang geija mangang tah a kong’a ahin sollu. Cheuvin palai mangang ho! Hiche thuhil hi vun nampet misangho gapeu vin, anai le gamla a um tijat umte, nam tha hat leh gal jou mite, agam u vadung hon a hopkhen mite henga chun,
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, ye that dwell on the earth, When the standard is lifted up on the mountains, behold! When the trumpet is sounded, hear!
Nangho vannoi ja chengho, leiset chunga hing jousen-lhang chunga kagal ponlap kahin khaisang teng, veuvin! Kelcha ki kahin mut teng, ana ngaijun!
4 For thus hath Jehovah said to me: “I will sit still, and look on from my dwelling-place, Like a serene heat when the sun shineth, Like a dewy cloud in the heat of harvest.”
Ajehchu Pakaijin hitin eiseipeh in; “Ka umna akona thip chetna kahin vetding-nipi laiya oltah a ahungsat cheh cheh banga, jingkah daitui chang le mim kikhop tup jouva a hung lhah banga khu”.
5 But before the vintage, when the bud is gone, And the blossom is ripening into a swelling grape, He shall cut off the shoots with pruning-hooks, And the branches he shall take away and cut down.
Gal nasat pat masanga jong, nathil gonho lengpithei banga ahung minset teng, Pakai jin bahche a ache kim ding ahi athah hung kehdoh ho chu. Abah hung kipha jal ho achelhah a apampai ding ahi.
6 They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, And to the wild beasts of the earth. The ravenous birds shall summer upon it, And every wild beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
Muthong holeh gamsaho dinga na sepai gal hang ho loujaova athisa kidalha ding ahiuve. Nipi lai sung se amu thong hon thilong ho chunga kisa lel diu ahi. Phalbi lai sungse a agu ho aket diu ahi.
7 At that time shall gifts be brought to Jehovah of hosts From a nation tall and fair, From a people terrible from the first and onward, A mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers, To the dwelling-place of Jehovah of hosts, to mount Zion.
Hiche phatteng a gamsung u vadung in ahop khen, mi sang leh vun namte, sah le lhangin akichat te, thahattah te akon, Pakai tha neipen in thilpeh amuding ahi. Hiche thil pehding ho chu van janel Pakai umna mun Jerusalem a ahin choidiu ahi.
