Isaiah 15
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about the Moab [people-group]: In one night [two of your important cities], Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.
Moab chung changa thuhil hitihin ahungin ahi: Jankhat sunga Ar khosung kisuchim ding, chule Kir khopi kisumang ding ahi.
2 The people of Dibon, [your capital city, ] will go to their temple to mourn/weep; they will go to [their shrines] on the hilltops to weep. They will wail because of [what happened to] Nebo and Medeba [towns in the south]; they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards [to show that they are grieving].
Na mite ahouin u Dibon munna puldouva chediu ahi. Ahouin theng uva lhase tah a kap dinga chediu ahi. Nebo leh Medeba adinga kap loi loi diu, lung genthei tah alu u akivomui diu chuleh akhamul u jong akivo diu ahi.
3 In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth, and on their [flat] rooftops and in the [city] plazas everyone will wail, with tears streaming down their faces.
Khaodip pon akigah uva lamlen dunga vah lediu ahi. In jouse a kon leh japi umna mun ho akona ka le mao aw kijading ahi.
4 [The people of] Heshbon [city] and Elealeh [towns in the north of Moab] will cry out; people as far away as Jahaz [town in the south] will hear them wailing. Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out and they will be very afraid [IDM].
Heshbon leh Elea mite hung peng doh diu; a awgin u gamla tah Jahaz geija kijading ahi! Moab gal hang tah ho jong nasatah a kicha a peng diu ahi. Panpi beija kichatah a umdiu ahi.
5 I feel very sorry for [the people of] Moab; they will flee to Zoar and Eglath-Shelishiyah [towns in the far south]. They will cry as they walk up to Luhith [town]. All along the road to Horonaim [town] people will mourn because their country has been destroyed.
Kalung sung Moab adin akap e. Amite Zoar leh Eglath-shehshiyah a ajam uvin, kap pumin Luhith jon lamlen a akal tou vun ahi. Lunggenthei a akanao Horonaim lamlen lang geijin a kijaphan ahi.
6 The water in Nimrim [Valley] will have dried up. The grass there will be withered; the green plants will [all] be gone, and there will be nothing left that is green.
Nimrim twi ho jeng jong akang gam tan ahi! Vapanga hamhing ho nisan akagop gamtai. Hamdong ho jong abeitan; Thingna louna eng kiti a umtapon ahi.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Miten anei agou u akimat un, thingphung umna dam kotong langa akipohphei tao vin ahi.
8 Throughout the country of Moab, [people] will be crying; people as far away as Eglaim [in the south] and Beer-Elim [in the north] will hear them wailing.
Genthei tah a akanao chu Moab gamlang geijin aki thongin, Eglaim apat Beer-Elim gei akithong in ahi.
9 The stream near Dimon will become red from the blood [of people who have been killed], but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more [trouble]: Lions will attack those who [are trying to] escape from Moab and will [also] attack the people who remain in that country.
Dibon gal’a vadung jong thisan sanin a long ngin, ahin Dibon toh kakichai hih laiye! Humpi bahkai in asohcha ho hin holin tin-jamdoh ding kigo holeh a umden ho.
