Isaiah 21
1 A declaration about the desert by the sea. Like stormwinds sweeping through the Negev it comes passing through from the wilderness, from a terrible land.
Tuithim ah khosoek lamloh cangpalam bangla tinghil tih, khohmuen lamloh a rhih om neh aka pawk, tuipuei khosoek kah olrhuh.
2 A distressing vision has been given to me: the treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up and attack, Elam; besiege, Media; I will stop all her groaning.
Kai taengah mangthui neh mangkhak la ha puen. Hnukpoh long tah hnukpoh coeng tih rhoelrhak long khaw rhoelrhak coeng. Elam te paan laeh, Madai te dum laeh. A hueinah boeih te ka duem sak ni.
3 Therefore my loins are filled with pain; pains like the pains of a woman in labor have taken hold of me; I am bowed down by what I heard; I am disturbed by what I saw.
Te dongah ka cinghen he tloh kah a thueknah khaw cung coeng. Ca om vaengkah a tloh bangla kai n'tuuk. Ka yaak nen khaw ka paihaeh tih ka hmuh nawn khaw ka let coeng.
4 My heart pounds; I shake with fear. Twilight was my desire, but it brought me terror.
Tuennah loh kai n'let sak tih ka thinko ah kho a hmang. Ka huengaihnah hlaemhmah te kai ham tah thuennah la poeh.
5 They prepare the table, they spread rugs and eat and drink; arise, princes, anoint your shields with oil.
Caboei te a tloeng. Tlak te doh saeh, mangpa rhoek te ca saeh, o saeh lamtah thoo saeh. photling te koelh saeh.
6 For this is what the Lord said to me, “Go, post a watchman; he must report what he sees.
Te dongah Boeipa loh kai taengah, “Cet laeh, rhaltawt te pai saeh lamtah a hmuh te ha puen saeh,” a ti.
7 When he sees a chariot, a pair of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels, then he must pay attention and be very alert.”
Leng, marhang caem tarhoi, laak leng, kalauk leng a hmuh vaengah a hnatungnah a yet neh a hnatungnah te hnatung saeh.
8 The watchman cries out, “Lord, on the watchtower I stand all day, every day, and at my post I stand all night long.”
Te phoeiah rhaltoengim kah sathueng loh, “Ka boeipa, kai khothaih puet ka pai tih ka mueitung dongah khoyin puet ka pai bal.
9 Here comes a chariot with a man and a pair of horsemen. He calls out, “Babylon has fallen, fallen, and all the carved figures of its gods are broken to the ground.”
Tedae marhang caem tarhoi kah hlang te leng neh ha pawk coeng he,” tila pang. Te phoeiah a doo tih, “Cungku coeng, Babylon neh a pathen mueidaep tah boeih cungku coeng tih diklai dongah phaeng rhek coeng.
10 My threshed and winnowed ones, children of my threshing floor! What I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
Ka cangtil neh ka cangtilhmuen kah ka ca taengah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah ka yaak te ni nangmih taengah ka puen.
11 A declaration about Dumah. One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”
Seir lamloh kai aka khue Dumah olrhuh loh, “Khoyin kah aka tawt khaw melae? khoyin kah aka tawt khaw balae? a ti.
12 The watchman said, “The morning comes and also the night. If you want to ask, then ask; and come back again.”
Aka tawt loh, “Mincang halo tih hlaemmuei ah na yam khaw na yam vetih na lo khaw na lo uh aih sue,” a ti.
13 A declaration about Arabia. In the wilderness of Arabia you spend the night, you caravans of Dedanites.
Arabia ham olrhuh, Arabia duup ah naka rhaeh Dedanim lambong rhoek.
14 Bring water for the thirsty; inhabitants of the land of Tema, meet the fugitives with bread.
Tuihalh doe ham te Tema kho kah khosa rhoek loh tui hang khuen saeh, amah buh neh aka doe rhoek khaw yong coeng.
15 For they have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the weight of war.
cunghang taeng lamloh, cunghang aka bong mikhmuh lamloh, lii aka phu kah mikhmuh lamloh, caemtloek hnorhih kah mikhmuh lamloh yong uh.
16 For this is what the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a laborer hired for a year would see it, all the glory of Kedar will end.
Te dongah Boeipa loh kai taengah, “Kum khat khuiah kutloh kum kah bangla om vetih Kedar kah a thangpomnah khaw boeih bawt ni.
17 Only a few of the archers, the warriors of Kedar will remain,” for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.
Kedar ca khuikah hlangrhalh lii pom te amah tarhing ah aka sueng khaw Israel Pathen Yahovah loh a thui coeng dongah polpai uh ni,” a ti.
