Isaiah 28
1 Woe [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
Ipi lung gentheinan anga hitam Samaria khopi kiletsahna adim chun-Israel jukham ho loupina lal lukhuh chu. Phaicham leipha laiya chun atouvin ahin, ahoi aloupina chu pahcha banga mollha ding ahi. Mite kiletsahna chu ju’n apuilhah ding ahi.
2 Lo, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail — a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
Ajehchu Pakai in adou dinga galsat hattah ho asol ding ahi. Hui leh gel hattah ahung juh lhah banga huipin twikhanglen asemdil jeng banga, tol jep na anei ding ahi.
3 By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
Samaria kihoitho sahna khopi-Israel jukham ho loupina lal lukhuh gal mite kengto noija chotpha umding ahi.
4 And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it [is] yet in his hand he swalloweth it.
Phaicham lei phalai achun atouvin, ahin ahoina loupi chu pahcha banga mollha ding ahi. Koi hijongleh amu achun asalhah ding, theichang ga masa kiloulha a, kinepai bang ding ahi.
5 In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people.
Achaina leh van Janel Pakai, amatah chu Israel loupina lallukhuh hung hiding ahi. Amite amoh cheng sedinga akipanao leh aki choi at nao hung hiding ahi.
6 And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
Thutandih a tan nom na lungthim a thutan vaihom ho apeh ding ahi. Kotpi ngah a um gal hang ho han sanna apeh ding ahi.
7 And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
Ahijeng vang'in tun, Israel chu ju kham in alon dong dong in ahi. Thempu holeh themgao ho jong jukham in alon le leuvin, ju in bou akisalel taovin ahi. Mu anei naova jong amuchen tapouvin, akham jeh un thulhuhna jong apethei tapouve.
8 For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth — without place!
A dokhang chung’u jong loh in atom dim in; muntin anen soh keitai.
9 By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
“Pakai in eiho koi ihiu a gel em?” tin adong uve. “Aman ipi dinga hitia hi eihou u ham? Naonoi chep haitil chapang neo ihiu ham?
10 For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
Aman avel avel in eiseipeh uvin-phat khatna thugol khat, phat khatna thugol khat, hilai a themkhat, khulanga chu them khat,” ati ding ahi.
11 For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
Hijeh a chu tua hi Pakai in amite henga, gamchom mi sugenthei hon pao kidang atho banguva, ahoulim pidiu ahi!
12 Unto whom He hath said, 'This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this — the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,
Pathen’in amite henga hitin aseije, “Hilai ahin kicholngah na mun a ume; thachol ho hilai ahin kichol uhen. Hilai mun hi thipchetna kichol na ahi.” Ahin amahon ana ngai pouve.
13 And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
Hijeh a chu Pakai in thuhil amite ahin peh kitding, thugol chunga thugol, thugol chunga thugol, hilai a themkhat chuleh khulanga themkhat, hitia chu amaho kipal a lhudiu ahi. Amaho chu kisukha diu, Oh diu, chuleh mattup a umdiu ahi.
14 Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
Hijeh chun, Pakai akona thuhil hunglhung hi ngaijun nangho mi ija seplou Jerusalem a thunei leh vaihom ho.
15 Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.' (Sheol h7585)
Hitihin na kisonge, “Thina lhemlha din kinoptona kanei uvin, chule thivui namun peldoh din thulhuhna kanei taovin ahi. Manthah na hung lhung chun eisuhkhah louhel diu ahi. Ajehchu jou le lheplhah na akon in kichol dona lhouding tahkhat kasao ve.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone — a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.
Hijeh chun, thanei pen Pakai in aseije: “Ven! Keiman bulphu na songpi Jerusalem'a katunge, dettah le hoitah song ahi. Inning song man tamtah, achunga insah nadia jong lhou tah hiding ahi. A tahsan chan chu kilong louhel ding ahi.
17 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
Thutan dihna golkai na manga ka patep ding, chonphatna chu athuh adon vetna ka man ding ahi. Na kisel nachu jouva kisem ahijeh'in, huise gel in ano lhah ding ahi. Lhep lhahna akon ahijeh'in, tuilen in alhoh mang ding ahi.
18 And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place. (Sheol h7585)
Thina joulhep nadia na kihou toh nao kasuh haiding ahin, thina lhankhuh peldoh ding natiu jong kale hei ding ahi. Tijat umtah galmi ho ahung teng uleh, tol'a chotpha a naum diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
19 From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it hath been only a trembling to consider the report.
Avel avel a tui hung len ding, jingkah sim jingkah seh a, sun le jan'a puimanga na um kah a.” Hiche thuhil hin namite asuh tijat dingu ahi.
20 For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one's self out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one's self up in.
Na jalkhun chu lup nadin achom val e. Samulpon hojong aneo val in, na kisil khop lou ding ahi.
21 For as [at] mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As [at] the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work — strange [is] His work, And to do His deed — strange [is] His deed.'
Perazim lhanga philistines douna anei banga Pakai chu hung ding ahin, Gibeon a Amorites te douna atoh bang ding ahi. Thil kidang tah bol a hung ding ahi; bolkhah louhel bol dia hung ding ahi.
22 And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
Ajeh chu Pakai, van janel Pakai chun gamsung jouse suhmang ding hi ka tupten ahi tin jangpet in aseijin ahi, Hijeh chun ija selouvin koi tahih in, achutilouleh gotna nachan chu sang cheh ding ahi.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
Ka thusei hi ngaijun; lunglut tah in hung naijun lang, ngaijun.
24 The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
Lou bolpan muchi tulouva, lou alhojing jeng ding ham? Muchi ima tulou hel'a lei alholho jeng ding ham?
25 Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its own border?
Lei alho chaiteng hiche muchi ho hi atuji hilou ham?- Lengmusel, jira, gehu, butun, chuleh suhlou chang-amun cheh'a kitu ji ahi.
26 And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
Loubol pan ipi abol ding akihet nin, ajehchu Pathenin het theina apeh ahi.
27 For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
Lengmusel jepnan sehlentah akimangji poi; mol jangkhai joh in akijep jin ahi. Kangtalai jong jira chunga a kitang poi; chusangin, jangtah in avohna mol a, akivoji boivin ahi.
28 Bread -[corn] is beaten small, For not for ever doth he sorely thresh it, Nor crushed [it] hath a wheel of his cart, Nor do his hoofs beat it small.
Changlhah ding chang chu bailam tah in akisudi thei jin, hijeh achu asuhdi jing louding ahi. Achunga kangtalai a lih khum in, ahinla asubong joudeh poi.
29 Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!
Van janel Pakai hi mihil kidangtah leh loubol ho hetna sangtah pe’a chu ahi.
