Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit on the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, Sit on the earth, there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans, For no more do they cry to thee, 'O tender and delicate one.'
Babylon chanu theng hungsuh in, chule vutvai lah’a touvin. Ajeh iham itileh laltouna’a natouna nikho ho kichaiya ahitai. Vo Babylon chanu, nangma itih’a jong dei’un, lungnem le kidang dehset leng chanu nakiti kiti talou hel ding ahitai.
2 Take millstones, and grind flour, Remove thy veil, draw up the skirt, Uncover the leg, pass over the floods.
Sumhei song gihtah ho chu la’n lang chule chang chu kigoi tan. Na pon lukhuh kiho doh’in, chule na ponchol chu kihodoh inlang miho muthei jin kilangdoh in.
3 Revealed is thy nakedness, yea, seen is thy reproach, Vengeance I take, and I meet not a man.
Sagoh keova naum’a chule jachat umtah’a na kihal ding ahije. Keiman khotona neilou hella keiman nachunga phuba kalah ding ahi.
4 Our redeemer [is] Jehovah of Hosts, His name [is] the Holy One of Israel.
Ei-Huhhingpau hi Israel Athengpa chu ahi jengin, amin chu Van munhoa um Pakai Sepaite ahiuve.
5 Sit silent, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, For no more do they cry to thee, 'Mistress of kingdoms.'
Vo Babylon mel hoinu, tun muthim lah’a touvin lang, thip beh in um'in. Nangma Lengam jouse Lengnu tia na kihekit talou helding ahitai.
6 I have been wroth against My people, I have polluted Mine inheritance And I give them into thy hand, Thou hast not appointed for them mercies, On the aged thou hast made thy yoke very heavy,
Ajeh chu Keima ka lhenchomte chunga kalung ahan jeh’a, amaho hi nangma ka gimbolsah’a, na khutna kana pehdoh hija ahi. Hinla nangma Babylon’in achunguva khotona nachan tapon, nangman upa tah ho jong nana bolsen ahi.
7 And thou sayest, 'To the age I am mistress,' While thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, Thou hast not remembered the latter end of it.
Nangman ‘keima vannoi pum pia lengnua kapan jing ding ahi,’natin ahi. Nangman nachon chan ho nung gelkitna naneipon, hiho chun ipi ahin lhut ding ham tijong na geldohpoi.
8 And now, hear this, O luxurious one, Who is sitting confidently — Who is saying in her heart, 'I [am], and none else, I sit not a widow, nor know bereavement.'
Nomsa’a kitha ol le ima asuboi ding neiluva kigel, nopsahna ngailua leng gam, hiche hi ngaiton. Nangman, ‘Keima bou hi kahitai, chule adang koima aumtapoi. Keima meithai kahi lou hel ding, chule kachate jong manglou diu ahi’ tin naseije.
9 And come in to thee do these two things, In a moment, in one day, childlessness and widowhood, According to their perfection they have come upon thee, In the multitude of thy sorceries, In the exceeding might of thy charms.
Doi them nahina le ailhim them nahi jeng vanga, hetman lou kah’a meithai le nachate manthaina ding, ani gella thonlouva, nachunga hung lhung ding ahitai.
10 And thou art confident in thy wickedness, Thou hast said, 'There is none seeing me,' Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, It is turning thee back, And thou sayest in thy heart, 'I [am], and none else.'
Na gitlou engsetna koiman ei mupoi, tia bit keija um dinga kigel’a nahi. Hinla nachihna le nahetna chun napui mang ahin, chule ‘Keibou kahi, adang aum tapoi, tia nasei ahi.
11 And come in on thee hath evil, Thou knowest not its rising, And fall on thee doth mischief, Thou art not able to pacify it, And come on thee suddenly doth desolation, Thou knowest not.
Hitia hi manthaina chun nahin phah ding, chule hichu nangman iti nama jongle nanan jou lou hel ding ahitai. Mahthahna chun nahin lon vuh khum ding, chuteng nangma nahung doh theina ding jong na kiboldoh jou lou hel ding ahi. Na kigin louhel petna hahsat nan phulou helouva nahin phah ding ahi.
12 Stand, I pray thee, in thy charms, And in the multitude of thy sorceries, In which thou hast laboured from thy youth, It may be thou art able to profit, It may be thou dost terrify!
Tunna ai’lhim themna ho’u chu mangcha tem’in! Hiche kum ho sunga namit-phel doi choi hou, kum hijat chengsea ho chu mangcha temu’vin! Thilpha phabep beh aboldoh maitheiju hichume. Hicheho chun koi ham khat na kikichatsah theiju ahi.
13 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy counsels, Stand up, I pray thee, and save thee, Let the charmers of the heavens, Those looking on the stars, Those teaching concerning the months, From those things that come on thee!
Thumopna nakimu ho jouse hin nasuh chol bep’u ahi. Na Ashi lekhathemho jou seu, lhaseh’a thil hung lhung ding seiho chu, hoilamba gei’uva hitam? Amaho chu hung ding doh’u hen chule khonunga ahung lhung dinga konin nahuhdoh’u hen.
14 Lo, they have been as stubble! Fire hath burned them, They deliver not themselves from the power of the flame, There is not a coal to warm them, a light to sit before it.
Hinla amaho chu meiya kihal changpol tobangbep ahiuvin; meikouva konna amaho tah kihuh doh jou lou ding ahiuve. Ama hoa konna panpina imacha nakimu lou hel dingu, amei tinau muna jong lumsahna dinga toujong ngailouva ahitai.
15 So have they been to thee with whom thou hast laboured, Thy merchants from thy youth, Each to his passage they have wandered, Thy saviour is not!
Chule nagol ho jouse chu, nachapan laiya patna nakivei chankhom piho chu nakanau kijah mosah’uva, alampi cheh’uva kiche mang diu, napen aw jong kijah mosah ding ahitauve.
