¹Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

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

²then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth or, Ariel .

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

³I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

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

⁴You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will 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.

⁵But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will 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.

⁶She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.

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

⁷The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

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 will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

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.

⁹Pause and wonder! 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 Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.

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

¹¹All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t, 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 one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please”; and he says, “I can’t read.”

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

¹³The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

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 marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”

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 to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows 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.

¹⁶You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has 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?

¹⁷Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded 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?

¹⁸In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will 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 humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will 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 ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

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

²¹who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

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 says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow 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 sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of 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 who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”

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