1Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
1TOUPAN, ta helhatte a tung uh a gik hi! huaiten lah mi a dong ua, kei lah hon dong kei uh, a khelhna tung ua khelhna a behlapna ding un, khuhnain a khuh ua, ka kha thuin lah a khuh tuan kei uh;
2who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, -- to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
2Pharo hatnaa kihatsak dingin leh, Aigupta lim bel dingin, ka kam dong tuan louin Aigupta gama paisuk tumin a kuan uh.
3For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
3Huaijiakin Pharo hatna noute zahlakna a hita dinga, Aigupta lim na na belh uhlah na maizumna uh a hita ding.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
4A mi liante lah Zoan khuaah a om ua, a palaite lah Hanes khua a tungta ngal uhi.
5They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
5Amau adia phattuamna himhim neilou mi, huhna hilou, phattuamna nei mi leng hi lou, maizumna leh minsiatna hizote, a vek un a zumpih sin uh, achi a.
6-- The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
6Sim gama sate puakgik, Buaina leh lunglauna gam, humpinelkainu leh humpinelkaipa, ngandekpak leh gul kuang leng thei pawtna, a sum uh sa bengtung nou tungte ah, a gou uh sangawngsau nungvumte ah po sakin, amau adia phattuamna neilou mite kaingah piak dingin, a pai ton dapdap uh.
7For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
7Aiguptain lah phatuamlou tak leh pannaneilou takin a panpih jel ngala; huaijiakin ahi, amah, Rahab tu kinkennu, ka chih.
8Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
8Tuin pai inla, huaite ama ua lai gelhna pekah gelh inla, laibu ah leng gelhin, tu nunga khantawn dong adig a hih theihna din.
9that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
9Huaite lah mi helhatte, ta juautheite, ta TOUPA dan ngaikhe nuamloute ahi ngal ua;
10who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
10Mutheimite kianga, Mu kei un, jawlneite kianga, Thil dikte honhilh khol kei un, thil nuam lam ka kiang uah gen un, khemna thu gen un, khemna thu gen khol un;
11get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
11Lam lou ah pai un, lam sikah pial un, Israelte Mi Saingthou ka ma ua kipan hihmang un, chi ngitnget-te
12Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
12Huaijiakin Israelte Mi Siangthouin hichiin ahi a. hiai thu na muhsit jiakun leh nuaisiahna leh phengphitna na muan ua, a tung ua na kingak jiak un.
13therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
13Hiai thulimlouhna noute adingin suangbang sangpi selai, chim dekdek, puak engong, thakhata mitphialkal lou-a se gawp ding bang ahi ding hi.
14And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
14Huchiin belvelmi bel a kitam gawp sak bang un, hawi om het lou-a kek nenin, a themnen lakah belpei thuka mei lakna ding hiam aw, tuikhuka tui dipna ding hiam aw, omlou khopin, a kitm nen sak ding, chiin.
15For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
15TOUPA PATHIAN Israelte Mi Siangthouin lah hichiin a chi ngala. Kik nawna khawla omin hotdamin na om ding ua; muang taka omna ah leh upna omnaah na hatna uh a om ding, chiin; himahleh nou lah na ut kei ua.
16And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, -- therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, -- therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
16Hi lou e, sakol tunga tuangin i tai zozot ding uh, na chi zosop ua, huaijiakin na tai zozot ngei ding uh; Thil hat tak tungah i tuang ding, na chi ua; huaijiakin nou hondelh ding lah hat tak ahi ding uh.
17One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
17Mi khat phawnin sang khat a taikek dudup ding ua; mi nga phawn in na taikek dudup ding uh; a tawpin mualvuma puankhai khai bang leh, tang tunga chiamtehna om banga nutsiatin na om ding uhi.
18And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
18Huaijiakin noute TOUPAN a honhehpih theihna dingin a hongak dinga, huaijiakin noute a honlainat theihna dingin pahtawiin a om ding; TOUPA lah vaihawm diktatna Pathian ahi ngala; amah ngakte teng tengin nuam a sa uhi.
19For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
19Mite lah Jerusalema Zion ah a omsin ngal ua; na kap nawn kei ding uh; na kahna husa uah aman a hon hehpih mahmah ding a; a jak takin a hon dawng ding hi.
20And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
20TOUPAN lungkhamna an leh haksatna tui noute honpe mahleh, nou honsinsakmite a kibu nawn kei ding ua, na mit un nou honsinsakmite a mu zota ding;
21And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
21Huan, taklama na pial un hiam, veilama na pial un hiam, na bil un na nunglam ua thu, Hiai lampi ahi, hiai-ah pai un, chiin, a za jel ding hi.
22And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
22Huan na dangka uh milim bawl dangka chi-a zepna leh, na dangkaeng uh, milim sun dangkaeng tuia luanna lah na buahsak ding ua; thil nin bangin na paita ding ua, a kiangah, Pai mangin! na chi ding uh.
23And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
23Huchiin, aman na buh chi uh leia na tuh ding uh adingin vuahtui a pe dinga; leia thil poute leng an din a pe ding, huailah hoihtak pung tak ahi ding; huai ni chiangin na ganta uh gantatna mun za pi ah a ta ding uh.
24and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
24Bawngtal leh sabengtungnou leiletten an chisoh, ninluahna leh phajaha hihsiangsa a ne ding uh.
25And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
25Huan, kithahna thupitak ni-a galvenna singte a chip niin, tang sang teng ah leh mual vum sang tengah luipite leh luite tui luang khawng a hong om ding.
26And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
26Huailou leng TOUPAN a mite kihehna a tuama, a liamna ma uh a damsak ni chiangin, kha vak ni vak phain a omta dinga, ni vak a mun sagihin, ni sagih vak phain a omta ding hi.
27Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger -- a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
27Ngaiin, TOUPA min tuh, a hehna kuang juajuain, meikhu sah moimoiin jamtou ngoingoi lakah, gamla pi-a kipanin a hongpai hi; a mukte khawng lunghihlouhnain a dima, a lei lah thil kat mang hat mei bang ahi.
28and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
28A hu lah, manna lohpi-a nam chih sep dingin, lui ngawng chiang pha hiala a kuanga let nawnaw bang ahi; huan mi chih kamah pi khelhsakna kaihgingna khau a om ding.
29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
29Huan, jana zehtan siangthou-a zeh a tan lai ua la a sak bangun, la a sa ding ua; TOUPA tanga Israelte Suangpi kiang tung dinga tamngai toh a pai lai ua lungtang nopsakna leng a nei ding uh.
30And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
30Huan, TOUPAN a aw thupitak a kijasakta dinga, a hehna thupitak leh thil kat mang ching mei kuangin, a huihpi leh vuahpi leh gialin, a khut khak dana ensakta ding.
31For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
31TOUPA aw jiakin Assuria mi, khetbuka mi khen nakpa, kitapjan sakin a om ding a hita ngala.
32And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
32Amah lah chiang sehsaa TOUPAN a jep peuhmah chiangin khuangtate leh kaihgingte toh a jep ding; achiang lika kisuaknate ah amau a sual ding.Tophet lhat lah tumaa nana bawlkholhsa ahi ngala; ahi, kumpipa adingin bawlzoh siang ahi a; thu tak za takin a bawla; a thil sek khawm tuh mei leh sing tamtak ahi a; TOUPA a hu, kat lui luang bangin, a kang sak juajua hi.
33For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
33Tophet lhat lah tumaa nana bawlkholhsa ahi ngala; ahi, kumpipa adingin bawlzoh siang ahi a; thu tak za takin a bawla; a thil sek khawm tuh mei leh sing tamtak ahi a; TOUPA a hu, kat lui luang bangin, a kang sak juajua hi.
