Isaiah 16
1 Prae ukkung khaeah tuucaa to paek oh, Sela vangpui hoi praezaek khoek to, Zion canu ohhaih mae khoek to ah paek oh.
Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 Moab nongpatanawk loe angmah ih tabu to caeh taak moe, kamhet rumram tavaa baktiah, Arnon tui angkathaih ahmuen ah om o tih.
For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
3 Poek 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.
Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not the wanderer.
4 Moab 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.
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 Palungnathaih 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.
And a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Moab amoekhaih to a thaih o boeh; anih loe amoek parai; poeksanghaih, palunglenhaih, palungphuihaih hoiah khosak, toe anih lok amlaihaih loe azom pui ni.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
7 To 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.
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken.
8 Heshbon 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.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
9 Jazer 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.
Therefore 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.
10 Oephaih 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.
And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease.
11 Ka palungthin loe Moab hanah katoeng baktiah tuen ueloe, kai ih takoh doeh Kir Haresh hanah katoeng baktiah tuen tih.
Wherefore my bowels sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
12 Moab loe angmah ih hmuensang ah caeh moe, angpho qawt naah lawkthuih hanah hmuenciim ah akunh, tiah amtueng, toe anih mah pazawk thai mak ai.
And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
13 To atue hoi kamtong Moab kawng pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah lok thuihcoek boeh.
This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past.
14 Toe 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.
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
