Isaiah 8
1 Avelin Pakai chun kahengah, “Thuhetsah tahlangna lentah khat semin lang achunga chun: ‘Maher-shalal-hash-baz’ tiin sun in,” ati.
Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
2 Keiman kathilsut chu naosen vop’ma aum masang ahinai ti photchenna dingin thempu Uriah le Jeberekiah chapa Zechariah, mithutah gella kiheteni chu thuhetoh-a pang dingin kaseiye.
I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 Chuin keiman kajinu kaumpin, amanu ahung gaiyin, chapa ahin neitai. Hichun Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Amin Maher-shalal-hash-baz tiin kouvin.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 Aminin aphondoh chu kum phabep jou, hiche naosenin ‘hepa’ chule ‘henu,’ tia akoudohthei masanga Assyria lengpan Damascus le Samaria ahinbulua nei le gouho akichommang ding ti ahi,” ati.
For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 Hichun Pakaiyin kakoma aseikitnin,
Yahweh spoke to me again,
6 “Judah mite kagelkhoh dan hi Shiloah-a twi nemheova long dildel tobang ahi, hinla amahon einungsun tauve. Amahon Leng Rezin le Leng Pekah chunga thil hunglhung ding bou athanoppiuve.
“Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
7 Hijeha chu Pakaiyin amaho chu Euphrates vadung twilet hattah—Assyria lengpa le agalsat sepaiho alonvuhsah ding ahi. Hiche twi hattah chun twilam jouse ahinjuiya longlet gam diu,
therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
8 Chuleh Judah gamsunga ngong chan geiya hung kinonglut ding ahi. Alhaving kijaldoh ding, nagamsung among langkhat’na pat alangkhat geiya achupsoh ding ahi, O Immanuel.
The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
9 ‘Hungkhomun, nangho nammite, kichat tijatnin dimun. Ngaiyun, gamlataha umhon jong. Kisatto din kigongun, ahivanga jeplhuh-a umding nahiuve! Henge, gal sat din kigongun, jeplhuh-a umding nahiuve!
You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
10 Nagalsat lamkaihou kikoukhomun, ahivanga pannabei hidiu ahi. Galla panlah ding dan kigonphatnuvin, ahivanga lolhinglou ding nahiuve. Ijeh-inem iti leh Pathen chu keiho lamah apange,’ tia Assyriaten asap diu ahi,” ati.
Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, for God is with us.
11 Pakaiyin mijousen thil agel banga thil gellou dingin gahtahin eithukhamin,
Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
12 “Kot kikhakhuma aguh-agalla thil kigongho chu nakichaina ding ahitai tiin kichahih-in.
Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
13 Hatchungnung Pakai tailou imadang gin neihih-in. Ama bou chu Athengpa chu ahi. Ama nagin pouleh imadang nakichat angaipoi.
It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
14 Ama’n bitsella nakoi ding ahi. Hinla Israel le Judah dinga miho kipalna songchang hintin, miho kilelhahna songpi hiding ahi. Chuleh Jerusalemte dinga thang le pella hung pangding ahi.
He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
15 Mi tamtah kithoudoh kit talou dinga kipallhua kitanglha ding ahi. Amaho chu thanga ohdenuva mat’na umding ahiuve,” ati.
Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
16 Pathen thuhil hohi chingphauvin. Athupehho hi keima nunga seijuiho henga jong chinsahsonun.
Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
17 Keiman eipanpi diuva PAKAI chu kanga ding ahi, Ama’n Jacob chilhahte eikinungheisan ta jongleu. Kakinepna pumpi Ama chungah kangap ding ahi.
I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in him.
18 Keima le kacha, Pakaiyin eipeh hi Zion Molsang chunga Houin thenga chengpa Van galsatte Pakai thilgon le thukhamho Israelte henga hetsah din kapange.
See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 Loikhat in, “Doithemho le athisaho toh kihoutheiho dongutin, phuisap bolsah leu hen eiseipehthei nauvinte,” ati nom diu ahi. Ahi’n Pathenin eilamhilna diuva itao diu hijolouham? Ahing nalaihon athisaho iti kikipuihoisah ding ham?
They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Pathen thupeh ho le thuhil ho veuvin! Kohileh Ama thupeh ho nelkal chu muthimlah-a um imahelouhel ahiuve.
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
21 Hitobang miho chu mun chom choma thachol le gilkelin cheleuvinte. Agilkel jeh-un, lunghanguntin alengpau le a-Pathen’u jeng jong asapset diu ahi. Vanlam angat diu,
They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
22 Chuleh leilam angat kit diu, ahivanga ahoilang avetnujongle, boina le lungkhamna chule lungjinna jeng muvinte. Amaho chu thimpi jing lah-a kilehlut diu ahi.
They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
