Isaiah 19
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Egypt: “Listen to this! I, Yahweh, am coming to Egypt, riding on a fast-moving cloud. The idols in Egypt will tremble when [I appear], and the people of Egypt will be extremely afraid [IDM].
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 I will cause the people of Egypt to fight against each other: men will fight against their brothers, neighbors will fight against each other, people of one city will fight against the people of another city, people of one province will fight against the people of another province.
“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 The people of Egypt will become very discouraged, and I will cause their plans not to be successful. They will plead with idols and sorcerers and those who talk with spirits of dead people to tell them what they should do.
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 Then I will enable someone who will treat them very cruelly to become their king [DOU].” That is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
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 [Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].
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 The branches of the river will all dry up [DOU] The canals along the river will stink because of the rotting reeds and (bulrushes/tall grass).
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 All the plants along the river and all the crops will dry up; then they will blow away and disappear.
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 The fishermen will throw into the river lines with hooks on them and nets, and then they will groan and be very discouraged; they will be sad [because there will be no fish in the river].
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 Those who weave cloth from flax will not know what to do, because there will be no thread for them to weave.
Linum pat phunga um patjang chomkhom ding umpon tin, pon khong hon pat aneilou diu ahi.
10 They will all despair and be very discouraged.
Lunglha soh keidiu, natong ho jouse alung u natna dim ding ahi.
11 The officials in Zoan [city in northern Egypt] are foolish. The advice that they gave to the king was worthless. Why do they continue to tell the king that they are wise, that they are descendants of wise kings who lived long ago [RHQ]?
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 King, (where are your wise counselors now?/You have no wise counselors now!) [RHQ] If you had any wise counselors, they could tell you what the Commander of the armies of angels has planned to do to Egypt [SAR]!
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 [Yes], the officials of Zoan have become foolish, and the leaders in Memphis [city in northern Egypt] have deceived themselves. [All] leaders of the people have (caused their people to do wrong things/led their people astray).
Zoan thuneiho mingol ahiu vin, chuleh Memphis thuneiho lhep lhah’a um ahiuve. Mipi lamkai hon Egypt chu apui mah thah u ahitai.
14 Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish, with the result that in everything that they do, [it is as though the people of] Egypt stagger like [SIM] a drunken person staggers [and slips] in his own 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 There is no one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unimportant, [who will be able to help them].
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 At that time, the people of Egypt will be [as helpless] as [SIM] women. They will tremble, being terrified [because they know that] the Commander of the armies of angels has raised his fist, [ready to strike/punish them].
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 The people of Egypt will be afraid of the people of Judah, and anyone who mentions Judah to them will cause them to be terrified, because [that will remind them] of what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, is planning to do to them.
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 At that time, [people in] five cities in Egypt will solemnly declare that they will serve Yahweh. They will [learn to] speak the Hebrew language. One of those cities will be called ‘City of the Sun’.
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 At that time, there will be an altar for worshiping Yahweh in the center of Egypt, and there will be a (pillar/large rock) to honor Yahweh at the border [between Egypt and Israel].
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 That will be a sign to indicate that the Commander of the armies of angels is worshiped in the land of Egypt. And when the people cry out to Yahweh to help them because others are (oppressing them/causing them to suffer), he will send to them someone who will defend and rescue 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 Yahweh will enable the people of Egypt to know who he is, and at that time they will have a close relationship with Yahweh and worship him and bring to him offerings of grain and other sacrifices. They will solemnly promise to do things for Yahweh, and they will do what they promise.
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 After Yahweh has punished Egypt, he will cause their troubles to end. The people of Egypt will turn to Yahweh, and he will listen when they plead to him [for help], and he will cause their troubles to cease.
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 At that time, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. [As a result], the people of Egypt will [be able to] travel [easily] to Assyria, and the people of Assyria [will be able to travel easily] to Egypt. And the people of both countries will worship [Yahweh].
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 And Israel will be their ally. All three nations will be [friendly to] each other, and the people of Israel will be a blessing to the people of the entire world.
Chuleh Israel te toh kisam kaina aneidiu ahi. A thum uva kigom khom diu, chuleh Israel chu anilhon adinga phattheina hiding ahi.
25 The Commander of the armies of angels will bless them, saying, “[You people of] Egypt are now my people. You people of Assyria, I have established your country. You people of Israel are the people whom I have chosen to belong to me.”
Ajehchu van janel Pakai chun hita hi ahinsei ding ahi, “Egypt phatthei changhen, kamite Assyria phatthei changhen, kasem gam Israel phatthei changhen, kagou lupen!”
