¹The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.

¹Aigupta gam puakgik, Ngaiin, TOUPA meipi hattak tunga tuangin, Aigupta gam a hongtungta, Aigupta gam millimte a maah a ling vonvon ding ua, Aiguptate lungtang lah a sung uah a zulmang mai ding.

²And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

²Huan, Aigupta mite Aigupta mite mah sual dingin ka tokthou dinga; huchiin mi chihin amau unau sualin mi chihin amau insakinkhang sualin, a kikap ding uh; hua leh khua a kisual ding ua, gam leh gam a kisual ding uh.

³And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

³Huchiin, Aiguptate kha a sung uah bangmahlou a bawlin a om dinga; a thusawm uh ka hihse ding; huchiin, milimte leh, bumsiamte thu a dong ding uh.

⁴And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

⁴Huan, Aigupta mite heutu tatse tak khutah ka pekhe dinga; huchiin kumpipa hangsanin a tunguah vai a hawmta ding, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi hi.

⁵And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;

⁵Huan, tuipi tuite a kang ding ua, lui lah a luang mangin a kangtat ta ding.

⁶and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.

⁶Luite lah a namsia uh a; Aigupta gam tuiluangte lah a kiam hiaihiai ding uh, a kang tat mai ding a; phailuangte leh tui loupate a vuai khin ding hi.

⁷The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].

⁷Nile lui kianga Nile lui gei mahmaha, gan tatna pawnte leh, Nile lui kianga thil chin tengtengte a hongkeu vek dinga, taihmangin a om dinga, a om nawn kei ding hi.

⁸And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

⁸Ngamanmi te leng a kap ding ua, Nile luia ngakuai khaimi tengtengin a awm uh a kitum ding ua, tuia lenpi jak sekte a thadahgawpta ding uh.

⁹And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.

¹⁰And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.

¹⁰Huan, a suangkhuamte hihjanin a om dinga, kiloh sek mi tengteng a lungsim un a lungkham ding uh.

¹¹They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

¹¹Zoan khuaa mi liante a hai hial ding ua, Pharo mipil pente lemtheihna sa lemtheihna bang lel a hong hita: Pharo kiangah, Mi pil tapa, nidanglai kumpipate tapa ka hi, bangchi dana chi sek na hi ua?

¹²Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

¹²Na mi pilte koia om ahi ua? amau honhilh pah ngal uhen; Aigupta gam tunga thil tung ding, sepaihte TOUPA sehte, thei uhen.

¹³The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.

¹³Zoan khuaa mi liante mi hai a hong hita ua, Noph khuaa mi liante khem in a omta uh; Aigupta namte ninga suangten Aiguptate lah a vak mang saktaa.

¹⁴Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.

¹⁴TOUPAN Aiguptate lakah phengphitna kha a omsakta; huchiin zukham mi a luaka a hoidoidoi bangin Aiguptate a nasep chiteng uah a paikawi sakta uh.

¹⁵Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

¹⁵Aiguptate adingin lutangin hiam, meiin hiam, tum nahhiangin hiam, pumpengin hiam a sepsak theih a om nawnta kei ding hi.

¹⁶In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

¹⁶Huai ni chiangin Aiguptate numeite bang ahi ding ua: Sepaihte TOUPA khut sin a tung ua aki sin jiakin a ling un a lau ding uhi.

¹⁷And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.

¹⁷Juda gama omte aiguptate adingin mulkimhuaitak a honghita ding ua, a min uh alohna peuh uah a kikta ding ua, amau tunga tung ding sepaihte TOUPA thuseh jiakin.

¹⁸In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.

¹⁸Huai ni chiangin Kanate paua pau leh, sepaihte TOUPA kiangah kichiamna thuchiam sekte, Aigupta gamsungah kho nga a om dinga: khat tuh Ni Khopi a chi ding uh.

¹⁹In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:

¹⁹Huai ni chiangin Aigupta laitakah TOUPA adingin maitam a om dinga, a gamgi-ah TOUPA adingin suangphuh a om ding.

²⁰and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

²⁰Huai tuh Aigupta gama sepaihte TOUPA adingin chiamtehna leh theihna ahi ding: nuaisiahtte jiakin lah TOUPA a sam sin ngala ua, huchiin aman hondampa leh humbitpa a sawl dinga, aman amaute a honkhe ding.

²¹And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.

²¹Huchiin TOUPA Aiguptate theih a hita dinga, Aigupta miten huai ni chiangin TOUPA a theita ding uh: ahi, kithoihna leh thilpiakin a be ding ua, a tangtun lai ding uhi.

²²And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.

²²Huan, TOUPAN Aiguptate a vo ding a, a vo dinga, a hihdam lai ding; huchiin TOUPA kiangah a kik nawn ding ua, aman amaute ngetnate jain amaute a hihdamding hi.

²³In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.

²³Huai ni chiangin Aigupta gam akipanin Assuria gam phain lam lian a om dinga; huchiin Assuria mite Aigupta gamah a hoh ding uh; Aigupta leng Assuria gamah a hoh ding uh. Aigupta miten Assuria mite toh Pathian a be khawmta ding uhi.

²⁴In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

²⁴Huai ni chiangin Israelte Aiguptate leh Assuriate toh a thumna ahi ding ua, lei laizang takah vualjawlna ahi ding uh:Sepaihte TOUPAN, Ka mi Aiguptate leh ka khut suak Assuriate leh ka goutan Israelte vualjawlin om uhen, chiin, vual a jawl ngala.

²⁵whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!

²⁵Sepaihte TOUPAN, Ka mi Aiguptate leh ka khut suak Assuriate leh ka goutan Israelte vualjawlin om uhen, chiin, vual a jawl ngala.
