Isaiah 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
1Ethiopia vapui taengah atuenh katuen pakhraeh mah tahlip ih prae loe khosak bing!
2That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
2Tuipui lam, tui nuiah palong hoi laicaeh patoeh kaminawk mah, Angtawt kaloe laicaehnawk, kasang moe nganhin kanaem kaminawk, canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kaminawk, misatuk karah lok kaham lok apae kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk khaeah caeh oh.
3All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
3Long nuiah khosah kaminawk hoi long ah kaom kaminawk boih, anih mah maenawk nuiah kahni payang naah, khen oh loe mongkah to ueng naah, tahngai oh.
4For thus hath the LORD said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
4Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah thuih; Athun ih ni aengh baktih, thingthai pakhrik tue ah dantui kaomsak tamai baktih toengah, kang hak moe, ka ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka dan han, tiah thuih.
5For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off.
5Thingthai qumpo pakhrikhaih atue pha ai nathuem, tadok to tacawt moe, apawk to misurthaih ah angcoenghaih atue thuem ah, tadoknawk to haita hoi athlik ueloe, tanghangnawk to pakhruh boih tih.
6They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
6Nihcae to mae nui ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moisannawk khaeah caeh tak tih; tavaanawk mah nihcae to nipui thungah caa o ueloe, moisannawk mah sik tue thungah caa o tih.
7In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
7To naah loe canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kami, kasang moe, nganhin kanaem kami, tha kacak kami, khok hoiah minawk cawh kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ohhaih Zion mae nuiah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hanah tangqum to sin pae o tih.
