< Isaiah 18 >

1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush:
Ethiopia vapui taengah atuenh katuen pakhraeh mah tahlip ih prae loe khosak bing!
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and stripped, to a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Tuipui lam, tui nuiah palong hoi laicaeh patoeh kaminawk mah, Angtawt kaloe laicaehnawk, kasang moe nganhin kanaem kaminawk, canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kaminawk, misatuk karah lok kaham lok apae kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk khaeah caeh oh.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
Long nuiah khosah kaminawk hoi long ah kaom kaminawk boih, anih mah maenawk nuiah kahni payang naah, khen oh loe mongkah to ueng naah, tahngai oh.
4 For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah thuih; Athun ih ni aengh baktih, thingthai pakhrik tue ah dantui kaomsak tamai baktih toengah, kang hak moe, ka ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka dan han, tiah thuih.
5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
Thingthai qumpo pakhrikhaih atue pha ai nathuem, tadok to tacawt moe, apawk to misurthaih ah angcoenghaih atue thuem ah, tadoknawk to haita hoi athlik ueloe, tanghangnawk to pakhruh boih tih.
6 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Nihcae to mae nui ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moisannawk khaeah caeh tak tih; tavaanawk mah nihcae to nipui thungah caa o ueloe, moisannawk mah sik tue thungah caa o tih.
7 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and stripped, and from a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
To naah loe canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kami, kasang moe, nganhin kanaem kami, tha kacak kami, khok hoiah minawk cawh kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ohhaih Zion mae nuiah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hanah tangqum to sin pae o tih.
