< Isaiah 32 >

1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
Ven, leng michonpha pa ahung in ahi! Chuleh tahsan um leng chapaten amanoija vai ahom diu ahi.
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
Amaho khat cheh hi hui'a kon hoidoh na mun bang diu, huile go akon kiseldoh na mun toh bang diu ahin, nelgam'a tuidung hung long bang diu ahi. Gamgot na'a songpi lentah ale bang diu ahi.
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
Chuteng leh mit nei jousen thudih chu amuthei diu, chuleh nakong nei jousen ajah theidiu ahi.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Milung chavai ho jeng jong chihna leh hetna'a hung dimset diu ahi. Pao oh ho jong jangkeija paothei diu ahitai.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
Hiche niteng chule migilou mingol hochu mihang ho, mihatho, kitilou diu ahitai. Michavai ho jana kipelou diu ahitai.
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
Ajehchu mingolhon ngolthu bou aseidoh jiuvin chuleh athilgon hou jong thilphalou ngen ahi. Gitlouna ngen abolun, chule Pakai chung changa thuhillhem athethang un ahi. Gilkel'a umho an a lahpeh un chule dangchah teho tui don ding ape pouve.
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
Migiloute joule nal'a amilhep u chu chonset ahi. Guhthimin, lungjang loutah in thil gon anei un ahi. Mivaicha themmo chansah nadin, jou asei uvin, adih jeng vang'in mo achansah uvin ahi.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
Ahin milungset them hon, ipibol'a phaham tin thilgon aneiyun chuleh ahongphal nao achun adingdet jin gun ahi.
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
Ngaijun, nangho numei cheng nomtah'a lumleho. Kathusei hi ngaijun, nangho, lunglhai sel'a umhon
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
Phatsot louvin-kumkhat jou bep leh-khohsahna neilou chengin hetman louva khoh sahna ahinnei diu ahi. Ajehchu theiga hunglhung louding, chuleh lousoh jong khoptupna umlou hel ding ahi.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Kithing un, nom satah a um numeiho; nopsah natah'a nanei uchu sutlhau vin lang, lunggentheina vetsahnan khaodip pon kivonun.
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
Na lousoh u tamtah jeh leh na lengpithei ga u tamtah jeh in na op phengu chu bengun lung hem tah in.
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
Ajehchu nagam'u ling le khao in akhan khum dingu ahi. Na thanopna inho leh na kipana khopiho hung bei ding ahitai.
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
Leng inpi leh nakhopi len dalhah a hung um ding, chuleh khopi sung kisahlelna adim mun jong keohel ding ahitai. Gam sanganho kipana hintin, ahon lhonin kulpi keo ho sunga lha le untin, galdotna inchung sangho noi'a umle diu.
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
van'a kon'a Lhagao ichunguva ahung kibuh lhah kah a hiding ahi. Chuteng gamthip gam chu louphatah hungsoh intin, chuleh leipha chun lousoh ga tamtah ahinso ding ahi.
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
Thudih in gamthip gam'a vai ahin hop ding chuleh chonphatnan leipha loumun hoa vai ahopding ahi.
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
Chuleh hiche chonphat nachun chamna ahin pohlut ding ahi. Ahi, a itih adinga thip behcha tahsana umding ahi.
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
Kamite chu bitna umdiu, in'a lungmong'a umdiu chuleh nom'a kicholdo diu ahitai.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Gammang ho geijin kisumang jeng jong leh, khopilen kiloi lha jongleh,
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
Pakai in amite hatah'a phatthei aboh ding ahi. Hoilai munna muchi tujong leu, gasoh tampi hiding ahi. Agancha houle a sangan hou nomtah a lhale diu ahi.
