Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Damascus chung chang thu’a hitihin thuhil ahunge: ven, Damascus khopi hi hungmang thah ding ahi! Mangthai thil kise lom hung hiding ahi.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for 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 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, 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 in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax 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 his arm reapeth the ears; yea, 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 Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in 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 In that day shall a man look unto his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to 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 look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he have respect to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or 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 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel: and it shall be a desolation.
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 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips:
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 In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom: but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
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 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, which roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing 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 shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
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 eventide behold terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob 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.
