¹Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.

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

²But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an 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 watch-posts, 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 low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come 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.

⁵And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in 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 by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind 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 war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, 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 the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war 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.

⁹Be astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! 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 Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, 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 whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, 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 they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.

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

¹³And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught 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 marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones 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 hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! 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.

¹⁶[Oh] your perverseness! -- Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath 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, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;

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

¹⁹and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy 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 shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be 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 pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.

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 Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be 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.

²³for when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow 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.

²⁴And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.

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