Isaiah 16
1 Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Khohmuen aka hung tuca te Sela khosoek lamloh Zion nu kah tlang duela thak uh laeh.
2 For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
Anih tah a bu a hno tih aka poeng vaa bangla om tih Arnon lamkai kah Moab nu rhoek khaw te tlam te om uh.
3 Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!
cilsuep khaw pae rhoela pae uh. Oltloeknah saii uh. Khothun lung kah na mueihlip te khoyin bangla khueh laeh. A yong vaengah a heh rhoek te thuh lamtah phoe boeh.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Ka heh Moab te namah taengah bakuep saeh. Aka rhoelrhak kah mikhmuh lamloh amih hlipyingnah om saeh. Hlangphaep khaw khawk van ni. rhoelrhanah khaw khum bitni. Hlang aka taelh khaw diklai lamloh cing ni.
5 A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
Ngolkhoel te sitlohnah neh a cikngae sak vetih, a soah uepomnah neh ngol ni. David kah dap ah lai a tloek tih, tiktamnah a toem vaengah duengnah khaw a ming.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
Moab kah hoemdamnah tah a poikuk la, a hoemnah te muep n'yaak uh coeng. A hoemdamnah neh a thinpom dongah anih te olsai tangkhuet boel saeh.
7 Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
Te tangloeng ni Moab loh amah Moab pum ham a rhung te. Kirhareseth rhae te a rhung thil tih aka rhawp yungyi ham na caitawk thil.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
Heshbon lohmali kah Sibam misur tah huum coeng tih, namtom boei rhoek loh a dawn a oh uh. A pae loh Jazer la a pha. Khosoek ah yam hmaang tih tuipuei khaw a poeng uh.
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
Te dongah ni Jazer kah a rhah bangla Sibam misur te ka rhah tangkhuet. Heshbon neh Elealeh nang te ka mikphi neh kan hmilhmal sak. Nang kah khohal neh na cangah kah tamlung khaw paa coeng.
10 Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
Cangthai dong lamkah kohoenah neh omngaihnah khaw khum coeng. Misurdum ah khaw tamhoe voel pawh. Misurtui te yuhui thil voel pawh. Va-am te a mael khaw a mael thil voel pawt dongah tamlung khaw ka bawt sak coeng.
11 Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
Te dongah ka ko ah Moab ham rhotoeng bangla, ka kotak ah Kirhareseth ham hue a sak.
12 It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
Moab kah a ngak a phoe pah khaw om bitni. Thangthui hamla hmuensang kah a rhokso te a paan vaengah coeng thai mahpawh.
13 This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
Hekah ol he BOEIPA loh hlamat ah ni Moab ham a thui coeng.
14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
Tahae BOEIPA loh koep a thui tih, “Kum thum khuiah kutloh kum kah bangla Moab kah thangpomnah neh hlangping boeih te rhaidaeng la muep om ni. A yolkai la aka sueng duen khaw khala pawh.
