Isaiah 16
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from the crags that are toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
1Prae ukkung khaeah tuucaa to paek oh, Sela vangpui hoi praezaek khoek to, Zion canu ohhaih mae khoek to ah paek oh.
2For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
2Moab nongpatanawk loe angmah ih tabu to caeh taak moe, kamhet rumram tavaa baktiah, Arnon tui angkathaih ahmuen ah om o tih.
3'Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.
3Poek het ah loe toenghaih hoiah lok to takroek ah; aqum ah kaom na pakhra tahlip baktiah, athun ah doeh omsak ah; haek ih kaminawk to hawk ah; kaproeng kaminawk to haek hmah.
4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler.' For the extortion is at an end, spoiling ceaseth, they that trampled down are consumed out of the land;
4Moab prae thung hoi proeng kaminawk to nangmah khaeah omsak ah loe, parokung ih ban hoi loih thai hanah nihcae abuephaih ah om ah; nang pacaekthlaek kami to om ai boeh moe, parokung doeh boenghaih ah phak boeh; pacaekthlaek kaminawk loe prae thung hoi anghmat o boih boeh.
5And a throne is established through mercy, and there sitteth thereon in truth, in the tent of David, one that judgeth, and seeketh justice, and is ready in righteousness.
5Palungnathaih hoiah angraeng tangkhang to caksak tih; loktang hoiah kakoi angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu kami loe, toenghaih hoiah lok to caek tih, toenghaih to karangah omsak ueloe, David ih kahni imthung ah lok to caek tih boeh.
6We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, his ill-founded boastings.
6Moab amoekhaih to a thaih o boeh; anih loe amoek parai; poeksanghaih, palunglenhaih, palungphuihaih hoiah khosak, toe anih lok amlaihaih loe azom pui ni.
7Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail; for the sweet cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, sorely stricken.
7To pongah Moab kaminawk loe angmacae hanah hang o tih, kami boih hang o tih; Kir Hareseth vangpui loe amro boeh pongah, nihcae loe hang o tih; to vangpui loe danpaekhaih to yok boeh.
8For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah, whose choice plants did overcome the lords of nations; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
8Heshbon ih lawknawk loe zaek boih boeh moe, Sibmah ih misurkungnawk doeh zai boih boeh; prae ukkungnawk mah kahoih koek misurkungnawk to khaeh o ving boeh; tadoknawk loe Jazer khoek to phak moe, praezaek khoek to amzam o; anih ih tanghangnawk loe amzam o moe, tuipui khoek to phak.
9Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh; for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the battle shout is fallen.
9Jazer vangpui to ka qah haih baktih toengah, Sibmah ih misurkung doeh ka qah haih han; Aw Heshbon hoi Elealeh, ka mikkhraetui hoiah kang bawh o han boeh! Kahmin thingthai to pakhrik moe, cang aah nathuem ah anghoehaih hoiah hang ih lok loe vaihi angqai krang boeh.
10And gladness and joy are taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting; no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease.
10Oephaih to lak pae ving boeh pongah, lawk thungah anghoehaih om ai boeh; misur takha thungah laasakhaih hoi hanghaih om mak ai boeh; hanghaih to ka boengsak boeh pongah, misurthaih pasawhhaih ahmuen ah mi mah doeh misurthaih pasaw o mak ai boeh.
11Wherefore my heart moaneth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
11Ka palungthin loe Moab hanah katoeng baktiah tuen ueloe, kai ih takoh doeh Kir Haresh hanah katoeng baktiah tuen tih.
12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab hath wearied himself upon the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail
12Moab loe angmah ih hmuensang ah caeh moe, angpho qawt naah lawkthuih hanah hmuenciim ah akunh, tiah amtueng, toe anih mah pazawk thai mak ai.
13This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
13To atue hoi kamtong Moab kawng pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah lok thuihcoek boeh.
14But now the LORD hath spoken, saying: 'Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall wax contemptible for all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and without strength.'
14Toe Angraeng mah, Vaihi tamna ah thlai ih kami hanah saning kroek pae baktih toengah, Moab prae lensawkhaih loe saning thumto thungah, pop parai angmah ih kaminawk boih hoi nawnto hnaphnaehaih ah om o tih, kanghmat kaminawk doeh tamsi o ueloe, thazok o tih boeh, tiah a thuih.
