Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Damasku kah olrhuh, Damasku tah khopuei lamloh a khoe coeng tih imrhong la om pawn ni ke.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Aroer khopuei a hnoo uh te tuping ham a om pah vetih a kol thil vaengah hawt mahpawh.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ephraim lamkah hmuencak neh Damasku lamkah ram khaw kangkuen ni. Aram aka sueng te Israel ca rhoek kah thangpomnah la om ni. caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be diminished, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Jakob kah thangpomnah tlayae vetih a pum a putsut te khaw yawih ni.
5 And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the grain, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Cangat loh canghli lamkah a coi tih a ban ah cangvuei a pawn vaengkah bangla om ni. Rapha kol kah cangmo aka yoep bangla om bal ni.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches of it, saith the LORD God of Israel.
Tedae olive a hlinghloek vaengah a soi thaih dong panit pathum neh a thairhah dongkah pali panga a om banghui la aka yoep rhoek te om ni. Israel Pathen Yahovah kah olphong coeng ni.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Tekah khohnin ah tah hlang loh amah aka saii te a uem vetih a mik loh Isreal kah aka Cim te a hmuh ni.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
A kut saii hmueihtuk te uem voel pawt vetih, a kutdawn kah a saii Asherah neh bunglawn te khaw hmu voel mahpawh.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
Te khohnin ah a lunghim khopuei te thingkho a hnoo bangla a om pah ni. Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamloh a hnoo uh moldong te khaw khopong la poeh ni.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
Namah kah daemnah Pathen te na hnilh tih, na lunghim lungpang te na poek pawh. Te dongah omthen thinghloe na phung cakhaw kholong thingluei lo ni na tawn eh.
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Na thinghloe te hnin at dongah na hlul sak dae mincang kah na cangtii te pahoi a cuen sak dae cang som a kha hnin ah thakkhoeihnah nen ni a rhawp.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, who make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
Anunae pilnam tah tuipuei kah hue a sak bangla muep hlangping uh tih, hue a sakuh. Tui rhilh kah longlonah bangla namtu kah longlonah khaw phul.
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
Namtu rhoek tui yet kah longlonah bangla a phul vaengah amah te a tluung tih khohla bangsang la rhaelrham. Hli toe tlang kah cangkik bangla a hloem tih humhae neh cangpalam bangla tinghil sut.
14 And behold at the time of evening trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that plunder us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Kholaeh tue vaengah mueirhih loh mincang due anih khueh voel mahpawh ke. Mamih aka rheth kah hamsum neh mamih aka poelyoe kah hmulung tah he coeng ni.
