< Isaiah 30 >

1 Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, —That they may add sin to sin:
“Ipi lung genthei nan na ngao ham, thu'a nunglou kachate ho,” tin Pakai in aseije. “Keija toh akikalin thilgon nanei un ahi. Ka lhagao in adeilou hotoh kigop khomna nanei jun, hichun na chonset nao na sesang toupeh taovin ahi.
2 Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But at my mouth, have not asked, —Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.
Ajehchu keima donglou vin, nache suh un Egypt panpina naga thum uve. Pharaoh huhbitna chu natahsan un ahi. Ama lima chun nakisel gu uvin ahi.
3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh become to you a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;
Ahin Pharaoh natahsan jeh uva suh molphou'a naumdiu, amachunga nakingap jeh uva jachatna a naum diu ahi.
4 For their princes have been, in Zoan, —And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.
Ahin thaneina Zoan chan gei a keh beh in um jeng jongleh a noidou ho Hanes gei hung lhung ta jong leu,
5 Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them, —Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a reproach.
ama tahsan jouse chun jumna amudiu ahi. Aman nakithopiu malah a na suhmol phoudiu ahi.”
6 The Oracle on the Beasts of the South, —Through a land of distress and oppression—Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.
Negev a gancha ho chung changa thuhil kahenga hitin ahung lhunge; Kholjin hon tijat umtah in nelgam ahin jot nun, Egypt gei adin olin akitolui- ahaonao jouse sangan ho chunga ahin pouvin, agou luhou sangongsao chunga ahin pouve-Egypt ten aventup nadiuva abonna pehding atiu ahi. Gamthip gam ahin jot un, keipi bahkai achal le anu umna mun, gulse ho leh gunei gul ho umna mun ho ahin jotpao vin ahi. Hiche jouse hi ahin, Egypt in imacha nahin pehle lou ding ahi.
7 But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, —Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!
Egypt kihahselna ho chu panna bei ahibouve! Hijeh chun, Rahab tin kakouve-setna neilou Dragon.
8 Now, enter—Write it upon a tablet before them And upon a scroll, inscribe it, —That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age-abiding: —
Tun chenlang hiche thucheng hohi sun lhan. Lekhabu a sun lut in. Phat kichai kah adinga hettoh sah a pang diu ahitai.
9 That it is, a rebellious people, Sons apt at deceiving, —Sons unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:
Hichu, hiche mite hi milouchal midouhat ho ahiuvin, Pakai thuhil lunglutna ngaiding nomlou ahiu ve.
10 Who have said to the seers, Ye must not see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:
Mitvah neiho jah'a hitin asei uve, “Themgao ho jah a, Thudih neiseipeh hih uvin. Ngainom um chacha neisei peh uvin. Jouthu leh semthu ho neisei peh un.
11 Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, —Desist from setting before us the Holy One of Israel.
Lung jin nahi sumil soh in. Nalampi jim akonin kichondoh in Israel Mitheng Pa chungthu neiseh peh u, ngadoh tan.”
12 Therefore—Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, —And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,
Hiche hi Israel Mitheng Pan adonbutna ahi: “Kathu seipeh ho namusit jeh leh nabolgim ho, jou le nal natahsan joh jeh in,
13 Therefore, shall this iniquity become to you As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall, —Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.
phulou helouva vangsetna nachunga hung chu ding ahi-bangho pohdoh a, khikeh a lhuh tobang ding ahi. Apet pet in hung chim lhan tin, bong hel hulin hung lha tan te.
14 Yea he will break it—as the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found when it is smashed, A sherd wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of a cistern.
Bel keh banga naki suchip ding ahi-achip dan dan chu halneo khat a jong mei am kiloh theilou, tuikul a kon'a jong tui themkhat chabeh jong kithal thei lou ahi.
15 For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel—By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, —Howbeit ye would not!
Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Mitheng Pan, hitin aseije: “Ka henga hung kinung le hobou, keija kicholdo hobou huhdoh a na umdiu ahi. Lungneng sel leh tahsan nachu na thahat nao ahi. Ahin khatcha nachan lou diu ahi.
16 But ye said, —Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee, —And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:
Nangman naseiyin, ' Ahipoi Egypt akon panpina kamu diu ahin, galsat nadinga sakol hattah ho eipeh diu ahi,' nati ahin, gangtah leh hattah namu diu chu ahileh nagal mi teuvin hattah leh gangtah a nahin del diu chu ahi bouve!
17 One thousand, before the war-cry of one—before the war-cry of five, shall ye flee, —Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.
Alah uva khatnin ahindel ding chu nangho sangkhat hiding ahi. Alah uva nga in nabonu va najamsah soh diu ahi. Thinglhang chunga ponlah khom khat bou kidalha banga na kidalha ding nahin, molvum'a ponlap kikhai pheleng leng toh nabah ding ahi. Hijeh a chu Pakai in ama kom'a nahung ding anga teiding, hitia chu aman nangailut dan leh nakhoto dan chu nahetsah nom ahi. Ajehchu Pakai hi tahsan umtah Pathen ahi. Apan pina ngahjing ho chu a nunnom ahiuve.
18 And, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion, —For A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting for him
19 For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem, —As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry, —As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!
Aw Jerusalem'a cheng, Zion mite, nangho naka kit loudiu ahitai. Ahenga panpina nathum uleh Ama chu mi lungset them ahi. Na kanau awgin chu Aman adonbut teitei ding ahi.
20 Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.
Pakai in an adin vangsetna, chuleh don din thoh natna nahin pe jong lechun, nahil din nakom'a umjing nalai di ahi. Na hil'a chu namit tah'a namu ding ahi.
21 So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, —This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.
Na nakol tah a najah ding ahi. Na nunglang tah a kon thu hung kisei ding,”Hiche lampi hi ahi nachena got chu,” Jetlang hihen, veilang hijong le.
22 Then will ye defile—The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image, of gold, —Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,
Chuteng na dangka a kisem milim kihou, chule nagou lutah sana'a kisem lim hochu, na suhmang ding ahi. Ponse nen paimang banga na paimang ding, “Phasel to!” tia nasei khum ding ahi.
23 Then will he give—Rain for thy seed—wherewith thou shalt sow thy ground and Bread as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat, —Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed in broad pasture:
Chuteng Pakai in gojuh a phatthei naboh ding ahi, thil tuphat ahiteng. Kidang tah'a agaho naki khop khom ding, chuleh na ganchate nehding hamhing ninglhing setna umding ahi.
24 And the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.
Loukhoi bongchal ho leh sangan hon anpha anehdiu, avai vang huijin alhoh mang ding ahi.
25 Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain and On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water, —In the great day of slaughter, When the towers fall.
Hiche nikho teng leh na galmi hou akitha a, insang ho ahung lhuh teng, vadung tui ho mol le lhang jouse hung longlha ding ahi.
26 Then shall the light of the moon, be as the light of the sun, And, the light of the sun, shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, —In the day—When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and When the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.
Lha chu nisa vah bangin vah intin, chuleh nisa vah chu jat sagi'a vah cheh ding ahi- nisagi sunga vah chu nikhat'a vah tobang ahi! Hitichu hiding ahi Pakai in amite sudam dinga akipatna, akisuh khah nao maha hou damna ahin peh teng.
27 Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm, —His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;
Ven! Pakai chu mun gamlatah akonin ahunge, lungsa pum leh meikhu nasatah in atomkhum in ahi. Amuh hoa lunghan na adimmin; athuho, meiyin asuhmang toh abange.
28 And, his breath like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations with a sieve of calamity, —A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.
Ahaina hu sat chu tuisoh'a galmi ho ngong chan aphah bangin akisunglha abange. Chitin namtin kiletsah ho chu suhmang dinga asepchil ding ahi. Nahkhao akhi peh'a, mangthai dinga ahoidoh ding ahi.
29 A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, —And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto the Rock of Israel.
Ahin Pathen miten golnop phatah kibolna'a la kisa ho banga kipa la asah diu ahi. Theile mutpan mun thenga Pathen houva cheho honkhat Jerusalem, Pakai lhangchung-Israel te Songpi'a apui banga, kipana' adimset dingu ahi.
30 Then will Yahweh cause to be heard—the resounding of his voice And the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire, —A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!
Chuleh Pakai in aloupina aw ajahsah ding ahi. Abanthahat thaneina avetsah ding ahi. Meikong in aval lhum bangin hung kum lhan tin, van gin holeh gelchang lentah tah hung lhabanga hung kum lhading ahi.
31 For at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria be crushed, —With his rod, will he smite.
Pakai thupeh dungjui a Assyrian te ahal hal 'a kehdiu ahi. A leng tenggol'a ajeplhuh gamdiu ahi.
32 And it shall come to pass, —that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, —when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
Hitia Pakai in amol'a ajep uva, gotna apeh teng uleh, amiten selangdah atum uva, khong akhet uva golnop abol diu ahi. Abanthahat ahin doptouva, Assyria te ahin dou ding ahi.
33 For there hath been set in order, beforehand a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared He hath made it deep—made it large, —The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, the breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.
Topheth-meikou na mun-Assyria lengpa dinga phatsotna gontohsa kikoi ahitai; akigo nading thingho sangtah in akiselom tai. Pakai haina hu chun, meikong hung kikhodoh banga ahin halkou ding ahi.
