< Isaiah 18 >

1 Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is along the rivers of Cush;
Anunae Kusah tuiva rhalvangan kah tungrhit phae khohmuen aih.
2 who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide.
Laipai rhoek te tuipuei longkah tui soah paan neh aka tueih. Puencawn aw, namtom aka cangdoek taeng neh a sa aka thool pilnam taengah khaw, he lamkah neh ke due aka rhih khaw, namtom a than a than neh, tilnoinah neh a khohmuen tuiva aka boe taengah yanghoep la cet laeh.
3 All you inhabitants of the world and you who live on the earth, when a signal is lifted up on the mountains, look; and when the trumpet is blown, listen.
Lunglai dongkah aka om boeih neh diklai khosa rhoek loh tlang kah rholik a tai vaengah na hmuh uh vetih tuki a ueng vaengah na yaak uh bitni.
4 This is what Yahweh said to me, “I will quietly observe from my home, like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Ka mong, ka mong vetih ka ngol hmuen lamkah loh kam paelki ni. Khosae phuk vaengkah kholing bangla, cangah kholing vaengkah khomai buemtui bangla om ni.
5 Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
Cangah tomlael daengla boeih a pailum dongah thaihkang khaw a hmin la poeh. Rhaipai neh a dawn te vin neh a baih ni. A baek te khaw a hlaek vetih a saih ni.
6 They will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth. The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.”
Tlang kah vatlung ham neh lan kah rhamsa ham rhenten a hnoo pa uh ni. Anih te vatlung loh a poelyoe vetih diklai rhamsa boeih a loh soek ni.
7 At that time tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared far and near, a nation strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, to Mount Zion.
Te tue vaengah tah caempuei BOEIPA taengah kutdoe a khuen ni. Aka cangdoek neh a sa aka thool pilnam neh heben hebang lamkah aka rhih pilnam, a than a than kah namtu, tilnoinah neh a khohmuen tuiva aka boe rhoek te caempuei BOEIPA kah a ming phuk hmuen Zion tlang la cet uh ni.
