< Isaiah 19 >

1 The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.
Egypt chung changin hitihin thuhil ahunge: Ven! Egypt dou din Pakai meibol chunga atouvin man gangtah in ahung naitai. Egypt a semthu limho akihot ling gam in ahi. Ki chatna Egypt mite lung sunga ajunsah gam tan ahi.
2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
“Keiman Egypt te leh Egypt te ka kidou to sahding-sopi leh sopi ki douding, in heng leh in heng ki douding, khopi leh khopi ki douding, gamsung leh gamsung ka kidou sah ding ahi.
3 The spirit of the Egyptians will fail within them. I will destroy their counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
Egypt te lung sung hung lhasam intin, chuleh a thilgon hou jong hekhen thei louva ka koi ding ahi. A milim semthu pathen henga chihna thum’a taodingu, chuleh thisa lhagao hotoh ki houho ahin, lhagao dang dang akou dingu ahi.
4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
Keiman Egypt hi mi lungsel tah leh mi khanse tah vaihom khat koma kapeh doh ding ahi. Leng gilou tah khat nin achung'uva vai ahom dingu ahi,” tin Pakai, van janel Pakai chun aseije.
5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
Nile vadung ho jong hung sangdoh jou pontin, chuleh loumun ho jong twisoh in achap joulou ding ahi. Vadung hojong go gam hel jeng ding ahi.
6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
Nile twilam hojong kang hel ding, chuleh Egypt a twilong ho jong ui lha jeng ding, pumpeng mon hojong namse lha jeng ding ahi.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
Vapanga hamhing eng'a eng jouse leh vadung lonna jonna keh, chang le mim ho jouse go gam intin, amut mang soh helding ahi.
8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
Ngaman hon atoh diu lhahsam jeh in pul adou diu ahi. Nile munna ngakoi ho chu peng choi choi diu ahin, len sep hochu alung mang diu ahi.
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
Linum pat phunga um patjang chomkhom ding umpon tin, pon khong hon pat aneilou diu ahi.
10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
Lunglha soh keidiu, natong ho jouse alung u natna dim ding ahi.
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings”?
Zoan a thuneiho iti ngol hitao vam! Egypt lengpa thumop phapen apeh ujong ngolthu leh adihlou ahibouve. Pharaoh masanga achihnao akisonpi nah lai diu ham?
12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.
Miching thumop them nanei houchu hoilanga um uva hitam, Pharaoh? Pathen thil gon hochu nasei peh u hen lang, thaneipen Pakai chun Egypt chunga ipi ahinbol ding ham, seiju hen.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
Zoan thuneiho mingol ahiu vin, chuleh Memphis thuneiho lhep lhah’a um ahiuve. Mipi lamkai hon Egypt chu apui mah thah u ahitai.
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
Pakaijin ngolna lhagao achungu va ahin solin, hichun alunggel hou jouse asu mon ahi. Israel te lung saih nan alhan, lon don donga jukham ho aloh uto abanguve.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
Egypt in bolthei na imacha aneitapoi. Abonun panpi bei ahitaove-alu lang leh amei lang, lusuna bah leh pumpeng hijong leh ima abolthei ding a umtapoi.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of Yahweh of Armies’s hand, which he shakes over them.
Hiche nikho teng chuleh numei ho banga Egypt te lhasam tah a umdiu ahi. Amaho chu ki im chuh chuh a tijatah a vanmi janel Pakai khut tum noija umdiu ahi.
17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it.
Israel min kiphah maimai a kona jong tijatna a dim diu ahi. Ajeh chu vanmi janel Pakai chun amaho douna dinga thilgon anei ahitai.
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
Hiche nikho teng chule Egypt a khopi len nga hon vanmi janel Pakai chu ajui dingu ahi. Amahon Hebrew, Canaan pao geija atho dingu ahi. Khopi len khat pen chu Heliopolis, Nisa khopi ahi.
19 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.
Hiche nikho teng leh Pakai a maicham semna Egypt te lungsunga hung umding ahi. Chuleh Pakai a het jingna thil khat agamgi uva umding ahi.
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
Egypt gam'a vanmi janel Pakai akihou ve ti melchihna leh hettohsah apang ding ahi. Mipin Pakai henga asugenthei houva kona panpina athum teng uleh, aman a huhdoh diu asolpeh ding ahi.
21 Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.
Pakai chu Egypt mite henga kiphongdoh ding ahi. Pakai chu hin heuvin tin, maicham leh thilto ho ahin todiu ahitai. Pakai a kitepna aneidiu chuleh hichu akolchah beh diu ahitai.
22 Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
Pakai in Egypt ahin jepding chuteng chuleh damna ahin pohlut peh ding ahi. Ajehchu Egypt mite chu Pakai henga kihei lut diu, aman ataonao angaipeh a, asuhdam ding ahi.
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
Hiche niteng chule Egypt leh Assyria kikah a lamlhongpi khat hung kijam lut ding ahi. Egypt mite leh Assyria mite agam kikah uva boina beihel a kijotto diu chuleh hingjing Pathen chu ahoudiu ahi.
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth;
Chuleh Israel te toh kisam kaina aneidiu ahi. A thum uva kigom khom diu, chuleh Israel chu anilhon adinga phattheina hiding ahi.
25 because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
Ajehchu van janel Pakai chun hita hi ahinsei ding ahi, “Egypt phatthei changhen, kamite Assyria phatthei changhen, kasem gam Israel phatthei changhen, kagou lupen!”
