< Isaiah 19 >
1 The burden of Egypt. Lo, Jehovah is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its midst.
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 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbour, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
“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 And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt. And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar spirits, And unto the wizards.
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 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king doth rule over them, An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.
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 And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.
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 And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
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 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not.
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 And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished.
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 And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.
Linum pat phunga um patjang chomkhom ding umpon tin, pon khong hon pat aneilou diu ahi.
10 And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
Lunglha soh keidiu, natong ho jouse alung u natna dim ding ahi.
11 Only, fools [are] the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish. How say ye unto Pharaoh, 'A son of the wise am I, a son of kings of antiquity?'
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 Where [are] they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt!
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 Foolish have been princes of Zoan, Lifted up have been princes of Noph, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
Zoan thuneiho mingol ahiu vin, chuleh Memphis thuneiho lhep lhah’a um ahiuve. Mipi lamkai hon Egypt chu apui mah thah u ahitai.
14 Jehovah hath mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard erreth in his 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 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
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 In that day is Egypt like women, And it hath mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is waving over it.
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 And the land of Judah hath been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Every one who doth mention it, for himself feareth, Because of the counsel of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is counselling against it.
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 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to Jehovah of Hosts, 'The city of destruction,' is said of one.
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 In that day there is an altar to Jehovah In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar near its border to Jehovah,
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 And it hath been for a sign and for a testimony, To Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry unto Jehovah from the face of oppressors, And He sendeth to them a saviour, Even a great one, and hath delivered 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 And known hath been Jehovah to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known Jehovah in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to Jehovah, and completed [it].
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 And Jehovah hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And they have turned back unto Jehovah, And He hath been entreated of them, And hath healed them.
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 In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
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 In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Chuleh Israel te toh kisam kaina aneidiu ahi. A thum uva kigom khom diu, chuleh Israel chu anilhon adinga phattheina hiding ahi.
25 In that Jehovah of Hosts did bless it, saying, 'Blessed [is] My people — Egypt, And the work of My hands — Asshur, And Mine inheritance — Israel!'
Ajehchu van janel Pakai chun hita hi ahinsei ding ahi, “Egypt phatthei changhen, kamite Assyria phatthei changhen, kasem gam Israel phatthei changhen, kagou lupen!”
