¹Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

¹Ariel, Ariel, David puanin kaihna mun! kuamah kum gawm inla; ankuangluinate hongtung nawn hen;

²Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

²Huai hun chiangin Ariel ka lungjing sak dinga, huchiin sunna leh kahna a om ding; huan amah kei adingin Ariel bang ahi ding.

³And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

³Huan, nangmah sual tumin na kimah kon giah khum dinga, nangmah sual dingin umsuakna insangte ka bawl ding.

⁴And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

⁴Huchiin, puksakin na om dinga, leinuaia kipanin thu na gen dinga, na aw lah leivui lakah awlawlin a gingkhe ding; na aw lah dawi aisansiam jawl aw bang lelin leinuaia kipanin a pawt ding hi, na pau lah leivui laka kipanin a hongpawt siausiau ding hi.

⁵Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

⁵Himahleh nang hondou mipite jaw leivui nel mahmah bangin a om ding uh, mi kihtakhuai mipite leng buhsi mangthang sekte bangin a om ding uh; ahi, huai tuh mitphiatkal louin a hongom guih ding.

⁶Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

⁶Van gingte, jinlingte, ging thupi mahmahte, pingpeite huihpite, hul mang thei meiin amah lah sepaihte TOUPA gawtin a om ding hi.

⁷And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

⁷Huchiin Ariel dou nam tengteng mi pite, amah leh a insang sualmi tengteng leh amah hihlungjingte tengteng, ihmu mang bang lel ahi ding uh, jana kilakna bang lel.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

⁸Mi gilkialin mang a neihin an a ne a, ahihhangin a khangloua a bah lailaiin tui a duh lailai bang ahi ding hi; Zion tang sual, nam tengteng mipiute, huchibang ahi ding uh.

⁹Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

⁹Ding kinken unla, lamdang sa un, kituam unla, mittawin om un; a kham ua, himahleh uain jiak ahi kei; a hoi hoi ua, himahleh ju jiak ahi kei.

¹⁰For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

¹⁰TOUPAN ihmut limna kha na tunguah a sung buaa, na mit uh, jawlneite, a mitsi saka, na lu uh, mutheite, a khuhta ngala.

¹¹And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

¹¹Huchiin kilakna himhim nou adingin laibu bilh khum bikbek bang a hita, huailah miten laisiammi kiangah, Hehpihtakin huai simin, chiin a pe sek ua, aman, ka sim theikei, bilh khum bikbek ahi, a chi seka;

¹²And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

¹²Huan, laibu tuh laisiam loumi kiangah, Hehpihtakin hiai simin, chiin a pia ua, huan aman, Lai ka siam kei a chi hi.

¹³Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

¹³Huan, TOUPAN, Hiai miten a hongnaih ua, a kam un leh a muk un a honpahtawi ua, himahleh a lungtang uh keia kipanin a gamlaa, a honlauna uleh mihingte thupiak min a sinsak lel uh ahi;

¹⁴Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

¹⁴Hiai mite lakah thillamdang ka hih behlap ding, thillamdang, thillamdang mahmah; huchiin a mipilte uh pilna a mangta dinga, a mi teite uh teina selin a omta ding, a chi a.

¹⁵Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

¹⁵A thutup uh TOUPA laka sel dinga thuktaka zongmit a tung uh agik hi! a thilhihte u lah jial nuaiah a oma, Kuan a honmu dia? kuan a honthei dia? a chi uh.

¹⁶Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

¹⁶Thilte na lumlet vek sek uh! Belvelpa bellei bang lela sehin a om sin ahia. thil bawlin a bawlpa tungthu-ah. Amah honbawl ka hi sama, a chih? a hih keileh, thil suktuaha omin a sutuahpa tungthu ah. Theihna himhim a neikei, a chih?

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

¹⁷Sawtlou chik nungin ahi ka hia. Lebanon lah lei hoih tak muna suahsakin a om sina, lei hoih tak mun lah gammanga seha a om sin?

¹⁸And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

¹⁸Huai niin bengngongten laibu thute a bil un a zata ding ua, mittoten mial nuai leh mial lak akipanin a muta ding uh.

¹⁹The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Thunuailutten leng TOUPA ah a nopna uh a khangsakta ding ua, mihingte laka gentheite Israelte Mi siangthou ah a kipakta ding uh,

²⁰For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

²⁰Mi lauhuai lah bangmahlou-a bawlin a omtaa, misimmohhat lah a daita, thulimlouhna ngaklahte tengteng lah hihmanthatin a omta ngal ua;

²¹That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

²¹Huaiten lah mi thupoi thu-ah thilhihkhialin a bawl sek ua, kulh kongpi ah taihilhmi awkna dingin thang a kam sek ua, mi diktat lah bangmahlou tohin a nawlkhin nak uhi.

²²Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

²²Huaijiakin TOUPA, Abraham tan pen. Jakob inkote tungthu ah hichin a chi hi: Jakobte jaw tuin a zahlak ta kei ding ua, a mai uh a mual nawn sam kei ding.

²³But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

²³A ta uh, ka khut suakte, a lak ua a muh un, ka min a siangthousak zota ding uh; ahi, Jakobte Mi Siangthou a siangthousak ding ua, Israelte Pathian lah a kihtata ding uh.Khaa vakmangten leng a hontheisiam ta ding ua mi phunhatten sinsak thu a sinta ding uh.

²⁴They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

²⁴Khaa vakmangten leng a hontheisiam ta ding ua mi phunhatten sinsak thu a sinta ding uh.
