¹It happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

¹Huan, Uzzia tapa Jotham tapa Ahaz lal laiin hichi ahi. Suria kumpipa Rezin leh Israel kumpipa Remalia tapa Peka Jerusalem sim dingin a kuantou ua; himahleh a zou kei uhi.

²It was told the house of David, saying, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.

²Huan, David inkuanpihte, Suria Ephraim toh a pang khawmta uh, chiin, a hilh ua, Huchiin a lungtang leh a khua leh tuite lungtang, gam nuai singte huiihin a mutling suausuau bangin, hilhiniin a hongomta hi.

³Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.

³Huchiin TOUPAN Isai kiangah, Nang leh na tapa Shear-jashuba, dil saknung zopen tuilakna tawpah, Puansawpmi Gam lamlianah, Ahaz dawn dingin kuan khia unla;

⁴Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Don’t be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

⁴A kiangah, Pilvang inla om kinken in; meisel sum khu leh nih, Suria ton Rezin leh Remalia tapa hehna thupitak, khita kenla, na lungtang taikek kei heh.

⁵Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,

⁵Suriain, Ephraim leh Ramalia tapa toh nangmah tunga gitlouh a sawmtak jiakin, chiin a chi.

⁶“Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel.”

⁶Juda dou dingin kuantou niin, vahihlau ni, eimah ading ngeiin i vazou dia, a laitakah Tabeel tapa kumpipain i tusak ding, chiin.

⁷This is what the Lord Yahweh says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”

⁷TOUPAN hichibangin a chi: A thu sawm uh a piching kei dinga, a vuaksuak ding.

⁸For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;

⁸Suria lutang Damsaka ahi a, Damsaka lutang Rezin leh lah ahi ngala: kum sawmguk leh kum nga man maiin Ephraim chi chih tuaklouha om dingin suksiat vekin a om ding:

⁹and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”

⁹Huan, Ephraim lutang Samari ahi a, Samari letung Remalia tapa lel a hih jiakin. Na up nopkei uleh hihkipin na om kei hial ding uh, chiin, chi in. a chi a.

¹⁰Yahweh spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN Ahaz a houpih nawna.

¹¹“Ask a sign of Yahweh your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.”

¹¹TOUPA na Pathian kiangah chiamtehna ngen in; thukpi ah hiam, tunglam sangpi ah hiam ngen in, a chi a.

¹²But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yahweh.”

¹²Ahazin bel, Ka ngen kei ding, TOUPA lah ka zeet kei ding, a chi a.

¹³He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

¹³Huan, aman, David inkuanpihte aw, tuin ngaihe dih ua; mihing hihgim thil neuchik din na sep uh ahi maw, ka Pathian nangawn hihgim na ut jel uh?

¹⁴Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. “Immanuel” means “God with us.”

¹⁴Huaijiakin TOUPA mahmahin chiamtehna nou a honpe ding; ngai un, nungak siangthou khat a gai dinga, tapa a nei dinga, a min dingin Immanuel a sa ding uh.

¹⁵He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

¹⁵Aman thil hoihlou lam deihlouhnadan a theih chiangin leh, thil hoih lam deihnadan a theih chaingin bawngnawitui dat leh khuaiju a ne sek ding.

¹⁶For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.

¹⁶Naupang tuh hilh hoihlou lam deihlouna dan tuh thil hoih deihna dan a theih maiin leng kumpipa nih na gam huatte taisanin a om sin hi, a chi a.

¹⁷Yahweh will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

¹⁷Ephraimin Juda a nutsiat ni akipan tung ngei nai lou nite TOUPAN na tungah leh, na khua leh tuite tungah leh, na pa inkunpihte tungah a tungsak ding, Asuria kumpipa mahmah.

¹⁸It will happen in that day that Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

¹⁸Huai ni chaingin hichi ahi dinga, TOUPA Aigupta lui naka thou om leh, Asuria gama khuai om, sam dingin a singsit ding.

¹⁹They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.

¹⁹Huchiin a hongpai ding ua, a vek un guamse lekluk ahte, suangpi hawm ahte, loulingnei tengteng ahte, gan tatna mun tengteng ah a tu dinh uh.

²⁰In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

²⁰Huai ni chiangin TOUPAN mulmettem khelhin, Luipi khen gama Asuria kumpipa om zangin, lutang leh khe mul a met siang dinga; khamul leng a met mang vek ding.

²¹It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

²¹Huchiin huai ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, mi khatin bawngla khat leh belam nih kia a vul ding;

²²and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.

²²Himahleh hichi ahi dinga, nawitui tampi a neih sin jiak un nawitui dat a ne sak ding: gamsunga omlai miin nawitui dat leh khuaiju a ne chiat sin ngal ua.

²³It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.

²³Huan, haui ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, mun chih, grep gui sang, dangka sang man omna peuhmahte loulingnei leh khuallingnei omna lel a hita ding.

²⁴People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.

²⁴Gam pupi loulingnei leh khuallingnei ngen a honghihtak jiakin huaiah thal leh thalpeu tawiin a pai ding uhi.Huan, tang, tuipi-a tohsa tengah, loulingnei leh khualingnei kihtak jiakin na honpai kei dinga, bawngtalte tatsakna leh belam ngah ding lel a hita ding hi, a chi a.

²⁵All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.”

²⁵Huan, tang, tuipi-a tohsa tengah, loulingnei leh khualingnei kihtak jiakin na honpai kei dinga, bawngtalte tatsakna leh belam ngah ding lel a hita ding hi, a chi a.
