< Isaiah 2 >

1 Judah hoi Israel kawng pongah Amoz capa Isaiah mah hnuk ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh.
This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Hnukkhuem ni ah, Angraeng im ohhaih mae loe maesomnawk boih pongah sang tih, mae ranui koekah om ueloe, prae kaminawk boih to ahmuen ah angcuu o tih.
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
3 Pop parai kaminawk caeh o ueloe, Angraeng ih mae ah, angzo oh, Jakob Sithaw ih im ah caeh o tahang si; anih ih loklam ah a caeh o thai hanah, anih mah angmah ih loklam to aicae hanah patuek tih, tiah thui o tih; patukhaih lok loe Zion hoiah caeh tih, Angraeng ih lok loe Jerusalem hoiah caeh tih.
And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 Anih mah prae kaminawk salakah lokcaek ueloe, paroeai kaminawk to thuitaek tih; to naah loe nihcae ih sumsen to long atokhaih hanah patoh o ueloe, tayaenawk doeh cakoih ah sah o tih boeh; sumsen hoiah prae maeto pacoeng maeto muk o mak ai boeh, misa angthawk hanah doeh poek o mak ai boeh.
Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
5 Aw Jakob imthung takoh, angzo oh, Angraeng aanghaih ah amkae o si.
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 Jakob imthung takoh to na pahnawt sut boeh; nihcae loe ni angyae bang ih palunghahaih hoiah koi o, nihcae loe Philistin kaminawk baktih toengah hmabang angzo han koi hmuen thui kop kami ah oh o moe, prae kalah kaminawk hoiah amyok o boeh.
For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Nihcae ih prae loe sui, sumkanglung hoiah koi moe, kroeklaek ai khoek to hmuenmaenawk a tawnh o; prae doeh hrangnawk hoiah koi moe, hrang lakoknawk doeh kroeklaek ai khoek to a tawnh o;
Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
8 nihcae ih prae loe sakcop ih krang hoiah koi moe, angmacae ban hoiah sak o ih, angmacae banpazung hoiah sak o ih hmuennawk to a bok o.
Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9 To pongah kami mah lu takhum ueloe, kami maeto boih mah poekhaih to pahnaem o tih; nihcae to tahmen hmah.
So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
10 Angraeng hoi thacak a lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, thlungkhaw thungah akun oh loe, maiphu thungah anghawk oh.
Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
11 Anih mah amoek kami ih mik to pahnaem pae ueloe, kaminawk amoekhaih doeh pakhrawt pae tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih ani loe amoek kami, poeksang kami, amkoeh kaminawk boih nuiah om tih; nihcae to pakhrah tathuk ah om tih:
For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
13 kasang moe, amoek, Lebanon ih Sidar thingnawk boih, Bashan ih aok thingnawk boih,
against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14 maesangnawk hoi kasang maesomnawk boih,
against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
15 misa toephaih imsangnawk boih hoi tapangnawk boih,
against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16 Tarshish ih palongpuinawk boih hoi khet kahoih krangnawk boih nuiah doeh om tih.
against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
17 Kami amoekhaih to pahnaem ueloe, kaminawk poeksanghaih doeh pakhrah pae tathuk tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 Anih mah krangnawk to paro boih tih boeh.
and the idols will vanish completely.
19 Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi longkhaw thungah akun o tih.
Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
20 To na niah loe kaminawk mah a bok o hanah sui, sumkanglung hoiah a sak o cop ih krangnawk to, thangbui hoi pungpihnawk vah hanah patoh o tih boeh.
In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
21 Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi cathaengkhawnawk thungah cawn o tih.
They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
22 Angmah mah sak ih hnahkhaw hoiah takhi anghah kami oephaih to toengh o lai ah; anih loe avanghaih timaw oh?
Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
