< Isaiah 19 >

1 A declaration about Egypt. See, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt; the idols of Egypt quake before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within themselves.
Izip kawng pongah thuih ih lok loe, Khenah, Angraeng loe karang parai tamai nuiah angthueng ueloe, Izip prae ah angzo tih boeh; Izipnawk mah sak o ih krang loe anih hmaa ah tasoeh ueloe, Izipnawk ih palung doeh tui baktiah amzawt tih.
2 “I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: A man will fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city will be against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Angmacae hoi angmacae misa angtuksak hanah Izipnawk to ka pahruek han; nihcae loe nawkamya maeto hoi maeto, imtaeng kami maeto hoi maeto, vangpui maeto hoi maeto, prae maeto hoi maeto misa angtuh o tih.
3 The spirit of Egypt will be weakened from within. I will destroy his advice, though they sought the advice of idols, dead men's spirits, mediums, and spiritualists.
Izipnawk loe palungboeng o tih, nihcae sak atimhaih doeh kam rosak han; to naah nihcae mah krangnawk, adoi sah kop kaminawk, kadueh kami ih pakhranawk, angzo han koi hmuen tahmaa rumram kaminawk khaeah lokdueng o tih.
4 I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a harsh master, and a strong king will rule over them— this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.”
Izipnawk to hmawhsaeng ukkung angraeng ban ah ka paek han, nihcae loe tahmenhaih tawn ai siangpahrang mah uk tih, tiah Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
5 The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will dry up and become empty.
Tuipui ih tuinawk loe kang o tih; vapui tuinawk doeh amcap ueloe, kang boih tih.
6 The rivers will become foul; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up; the reeds and flags will wither away.
Vapui tuinawk loe ahmui sae tih; Izip prae ih vacong tuinawk to apet ueloe, kang boih tih; akung kaom phroh hoi tuitaeng ah kamzam phrohnawk doeh zaek boih tih boeh.
7 The reeds along the Nile, at the mouth of the Nile, and every sown field beside the Nile will become parched, will be driven away, and will be no more.
Tuipui taeng hoi tuiqum ih phrohkungnawk, tui taengah patit ih akungnawk to zaek boih ueloe, dueh tih, hnuk han koi roe om mak ai boeh.
8 The fishermen will wail and mourn, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will grieve.
Tanga naeh kaminawk loe palungsae o ueloe, cakoih patung kaminawk loe qah o tih; palok payang kaminawk doeh thazok o sut tih boeh.
9 The workers in combed flax and those who weave white cloth will turn pale.
Tlangqui sah kaminawk hoi kahni sah kaminawk doeh azathaih tongh o tih.
10 The cloth workers of Egypt will be crushed; all who work for hire will be grieved within themselves.
Kahni sah kaminawk poek amro o ueloe, tangka hnuk hanah toksah kaminawk doeh palungboeng o sut tih.
11 The princes of Zoan are completely foolish. The advice of the wisest advisors of Pharaoh has become senseless. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of wise men, a son of ancient kings?”
Zoan ih angraengnawk loe amthu o tangtang boeh, Faro poekhaih paek kaminawk mah doeh kamthu poekhaih to ni a paek o; kawbangmaw nang mah Faro khaeah, Kai loe palungha capa ah ka oh moe, canghnii siangpahrangnawk ih capa ah ka oh, tiah na naa?
12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and make known what Yahweh of hosts plans concerning Egypt.
Nang ih palungha kaminawk loe vaihi naah maw oh o? Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah Izip nuiah sak atimhaih to panoek o nasoe loe, vaihi na thui o nasoe.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have made Egypt go astray, who are the cornerstones of her tribes.
Zoan ih angraengnawk loe amthu o boeh moe, Noph ih angraengnawk loe aling thaih kami ah oh o boeh; Izip prae ah kaom acaeng zaehoikungnawk doeh loklam pazaesak boih boeh.
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of distortion into her midst, and they have led Egypt astray in all she does, like a drunk staggering in his vomit.
Angraeng mah nihcae salakah anghmanghaih pakhra to kraih pae pongah, mu paqui kami mah angmah ih tamlok nuiah angsong baktih toengah, Izipnawk loe hmuennawk sak pazae o boih boeh.
15 There is nothing anyone can do for Egypt, whether head or tail, palm branch or reed.
Lu maw, tamai maw, tanghang maw, akung maw, Izip prae mah sak thaihaih, tidoeh tawn mak ai.
16 In that day, the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the upraised hand of Yahweh of hosts that he raises over them.
To na niah Izipnawk loe nongpatanawk baktiah om o tih; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah ban to takhoek thuih pongah, zit loiah nihcae loe tasoehhaih hoiah om o tih.
17 The land of Judah will become a cause of staggering to Egypt. Whenever anyone reminds them of her, they will be afraid, because of the plan of Yahweh, that he is planning against them.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah Izip prae nuiah, kasae sak han pacaeng boeh pongah, Judah prae loe Izipnawk hanah zitthok prae ah om ueloe, Judah prae, tiah thuih ih ahmin thaih kaminawk boih zii o tih.
18 In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to Yahweh of hosts. One of these will be called The City of the Sun.
To na niah Izip prae ih vangpui panga tonawk loe, Kanan kaminawk mah apaeh ih lok to apae o ueloe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hmaa ah oep om lokkamhaih to sah o tih; to vangpuinawk thung ih vangpui maeto loe Amrohaih Vangpui, tiah kawk o tih.
19 In that day there will be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a stone pillar at the border to Yahweh.
To na niah loe Izip prae thungah Angraeng han hmaicam maeto om ueloe, ramri ah doeh Angraeng panoek poehaih thlung to om tih.
20 It will be as a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
To thlung loe Izip prae thungah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng maathaih hoi hnukung ah om tih; minawk mah pacaekthlaek o pongah, nihcae loe Angraeng khaeah hang o tih; to naah anih mah nihcae pahlongkung hoi thacak lensawk kami to patoeh ueloe, anih mah nihcae to pahlong tih.
21 Yahweh will become known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will acknowledge Yahweh on that day. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings, and will make vows to Yahweh and fulfill them.
To tiah Angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to Izip kaminawk khaeah angphong tih, to na niah loe nihcae mah Angraeng to panoek o ueloe, nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih to sah o tih boeh; ue, nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih to sah o ueloe, a lokkam o haih baktih toengah sah o tih boeh.
22 Yahweh will afflict Egypt, afflicting and healing. They will return to Yahweh; he will hear their prayer and will heal them.
Angraeng mah Izip prae to bop tih; bop ueloe bohhaih ahmaa to hoisak let tih; nihcae doeh Angraeng khaeah angqoi o tih, to naah nihcae tahmen hnikhaih to Angraeng mah thaih pae ueloe, nihcae to ngantuisak tih.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come to Egypt, and the Egyptian to Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
To na niah loe Izip prae hoi Assyria prae khoek to manglaih lampui to om tih; Assyria kaminawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o tih, Izip kaminawk doeh Assyria prae ah caeh o tih, Izip kaminawk loe Assyria kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw to bok o tih boeh.
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
To na niah Israel loe Izip prae hoi Assyria prae pacoengah, long nuiah tahamhoihaih katongh, thumto haih ah om tih;
25 Yahweh of hosts will bless them and say, “Blessed be Egypt, my people; Assyria, the work of my hands; and Israel, my inheritance.”
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah, Kai ih kami Izipnawk, ka ban hoiah sak ih Assyria kaminawk, kai ih qawk ah kaom Israel caanawk loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah tahamhoihaih paek tih.
