Isaiah 18
1 Ho! land of the sounding of wings, on the other side of the rivers of Ethiopia:
Ngaijin, Ethiopia-kong lha jap ging banga ging jeju gam, Nile vadung ho gal’a um,
2 Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.
palaiho a vadungu lhang lang geija mangang tah a kong’a ahin sollu. Cheuvin palai mangang ho! Hiche thuhil hi vun nampet misangho gapeu vin, anai le gamla a um tijat umte, nam tha hat leh gal jou mite, agam u vadung hon a hopkhen mite henga chun,
3 All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.
Nangho vannoi ja chengho, leiset chunga hing jousen-lhang chunga kagal ponlap kahin khaisang teng, veuvin! Kelcha ki kahin mut teng, ana ngaijun!
4 For this is what the Lord has said to me: I will be quiet, watching from my place; like the clear heat when the sun is shining, like a mist of dew in the heat of summer.
Ajehchu Pakaijin hitin eiseipeh in; “Ka umna akona thip chetna kahin vetding-nipi laiya oltah a ahungsat cheh cheh banga, jingkah daitui chang le mim kikhop tup jouva a hung lhah banga khu”.
5 For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.
Gal nasat pat masanga jong, nathil gonho lengpithei banga ahung minset teng, Pakai jin bahche a ache kim ding ahi athah hung kehdoh ho chu. Abah hung kipha jal ho achelhah a apampai ding ahi.
6 They will be for the birds of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth: the birds will come down on them in the summer, and the beasts of the earth in the winter.
Muthong holeh gamsaho dinga na sepai gal hang ho loujaova athisa kidalha ding ahiuve. Nipi lai sung se amu thong hon thilong ho chunga kisa lel diu ahi. Phalbi lai sungse a agu ho aket diu ahi.
7 In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.
Hiche phatteng a gamsung u vadung in ahop khen, mi sang leh vun namte, sah le lhangin akichat te, thahattah te akon, Pakai tha neipen in thilpeh amuding ahi. Hiche thil pehding ho chu van janel Pakai umna mun Jerusalem a ahin choidiu ahi.
