< 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.
Izip ram hoi kâkuen e lawk hateh, Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni karang poung e tâmai a kâcui teh Izip ram lah a tho. Izip ram e meikaphawknaw teh a hmalah a pâyaw awh teh, Izipnaw e a lung teh, amamae thungvah, a kamyawt pouh awh han.
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.
Kai ni Izipnaw teh, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâtaran awh nahanelah ka hroecoe vaiteh, ahnimouh ni amamae hmaunawngha reira, imri reira, kho reira, uknaeram reira a kâtuk awh han.
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.
Izipnaw e lungthin teh, amamae thungvah, hrawnghrang lah ao han. A noenae hai ka kâsanu sak han. Hatnavah, ahnimouh ni meikaphawknaw, taân kasinnaw, khueyuenaw, tonghmanaw koe a pacei awh han.
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.
Izip khocanaw teh, ka matheng e bawi kut dawk ka thak han. Kâtawnnae kalen e siangpahrang ni ahnimouh hah a uk awh han telah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
5 And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.
Tuipui tuinaw rem aphui vaiteh, palang tuinaw rem hak vaiteh a ke awh han.
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
Palangnaw teh a hmui kong vaiteh, Izip ram e palangnaw teh rem a hak han. Lungpum hoi pho naw teh kamyai vaiteh a ke awh han.
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.
Nai palang rai kaawm e akungnaw hoi Nai palang teng patue e naw pueng teh, remke vaiteh, koung kahmat vaiteh, awm awh mahoeh toe.
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.
Tanga kamannaw teh cingou awh vaiteh, Nai palang dawk hradang kasawnnaw pueng a khui a ka awh han. Tui dawk tamlawk kahengnaw hai a tha a tawn awh han.
9 And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.
Raha kasawnnaw hoi lukkarei kakawngnaw teh yeirai a po awh han.
10 And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
A kâoupkhai e naw teh a rawk han, thaw katawknaw pueng teh a lung a rek awh han.
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 kho e kahrawikungnaw teh a pathu awh han. Faro siangpahrang e a lungkaang poung e kâpokhaibawinaw ni pathunae pouknae hah a poe awh. Nang ni Faro siangpahrang hah, kai teh a lungkaangnaw e miphun, ayan e siangpahrangnaw e miphun lah ka o, telah bangtelamaw na dei thai han vaw.
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!
Atuvah, nange a lungkaangnaw teh nâmouh ao awh va. Ahnimouh ni atuvah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni Izipnaw hanelah a kâcai e hah atu dei awh naseh, panuek awh naseh.
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 kho e kahrawikungnaw teh, ka pathu e lah ao awh toe. Memphis kho e kahrawikungnaw teh dumyennae hoi ao awh toe. Izip catoun e kacuenaw ni Izip ram hah a payon sak toe.
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.
BAWIPA ni Izip ram thung kâkapeknae muitha a patoun pouh dawkvah, yamu ka parui e tami ni amae a palo dawk rawraw a cu e patetlah, ahnimouh teh, Izip ram hah ahnie tawksaknae dawk, rawrawcu awh han.
15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
A lû nakunghai thoseh, a mai nakunghai thoseh, samtue kang nakunghai, lungpumkung nakunghai, Izip ram hanelah thaw ka tawk pouh thai hane api awm hoeh.
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.
Hote hnin navah, Izip khocanaw teh napui patetlah ao awh han. Ahnimouh ni ahnimouh koe kut kahek e ransahu BAWIPA hmalah taket awh vaiteh a pâyaw awh han.
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.
Izip ram hane kâtaran lah ka noe pouh e ransahu BAWIPA Cathut e a pouknae dawkvah, Judah ram teh Izip ram hanelah, takikathopounge lah a coung pouh han. Hote ram ka pouk e naw pueng ni a taki awh han.
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.
Hote hnin dawk, Izip ram vah, Kanaan lawk ka dei niteh, kalvan ransanaw e BAWIPA hah thoe ka bo e kho panga touh ao han.
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,
Hat hnin vah Izip ram lungui vah, Jehovah hanelah thuengnae khoungroe buet touh ao teh, hote ram ramri koevah, Jehovah hanelah lungdon ao han.
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.
Hote lungdon teh Izip ram vah, ransahu BAWIPA hanelah, mitnoutnae hoi kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han. Ahni ni rungngangkung hoi karingkung a patoun vaiteh, ahni ni a rungngang awh han.
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].
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni amahoima Izipnaw ni panue nahanelah a sak dawkvah, hat hnin vah, Izipnaw ni BAWIPA hah a panue awh teh, sathei hoi pasoung hnonaw hoi BAWIPA hmalah lawk a kâkam awh teh, a kuep sak awh han.
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.
BAWIPA ni Izip ram hah runae a poe han. Runae a poe eiteh, a hmâ teh a kahma han. Hat toteh, ahnimouh teh BAWIPA koe bout a tho awh han. BAWIPA ni ahnimae ratoum lawk hah a thai pouh teh, ahnimae hmânaw teh ahawi sak pouh awh han.
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.
Hat hnin vah Izip ram hoi Assiria ram totouh lamthungpui ao han. Assirianaw teh Izip ram lah thoseh, Izipnaw teh Assiria ram lah thoseh, cet awm awh vaiteh, Izipnaw teh Assirianaw hoi reirei a bawk awh han.
24 In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Hate hnin dawkvah, Isarel ram teh Izip ram hoi Assiria ram hoi cungtalah, apâthum e ram lah a bawk teh, talai van lungui vah yawhawi lah ao han.
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!'
Rasahu BAWIPA ni, ka miphun Izip, ka kut hoi ka sak e Assiria, ka râw lah kaawm e Isarelnaw koe, yawhawinae awm seh telah dei vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah yawhawi a poe han.
