¹The burden of Egypt: “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

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.

²I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and 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.

³The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.

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.

⁴I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

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.

⁵The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.

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

⁶The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.

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, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, 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.

⁸The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will 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.

⁹Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.

⁹Huailouin leng jija hiahsiang khoih mite leh puan ngou gan mite a zahlak ding uh

¹⁰The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.

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

¹¹The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to 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 then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning 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 have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

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.

¹⁴Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers 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 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 the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of Armies, which he shakes over them.

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.

¹⁷The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines 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, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called “The city of destruction.”

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, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.

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

²⁰It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will 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.

²¹Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will 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.

²²Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by 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 there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

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, Israel will 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.

²⁵because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

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