< Isaiah 25 >
1 Aw Angraeng, nang loe ka Sithaw ni; kasang koekah kang pakoeh moe, na hmin to kang pakoeh han; canghnii hoiah sak na tim ih hmuennawk to amkhrai ai ah oepthohhaih hoi dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak boeh.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in perfect faithfulness.
2 Vangpui to anghnoeng tapophaih ahmuen ah na sak; kacak vangpui doeh nam rosak boeh; prae kalah kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe vangpui ah om mak ai; mi mah doeh sah mak ai.
For you have made the city a heap, a fortified city, a ruin, and a fortress of strangers into no city.
3 To pongah thacak kaminawk mah nang to pakoeh o tih; zitthok kaminawk ih vangpui mah doeh nang to zii o tih boeh.
Therefore a strong people will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 Nang loe kamtangnawk abuephaih, kavawt kaminawk palungboeng naah abuephaih ah na oh; takhi sae song naah abuephaih, ni bet naah abuephaih tahlip kahoih ah na oh; tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk ih palungphuihaih loe tapang kahmut rup takhi sae baktiah oh.
For you have been a place of safety for the one who is poor, a shelter for the one who is needy in his distress— a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. When the breath of the ruthless was like a storm against a wall,
5 Praezaek ih ni kabae baktiah, prae kalah kaminawk hanghaih loknawk to na dipsak tih; tamai mah ni kabae khuk khoep baktiah, mi tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk ih laa lok to dii tih boeh.
and like heat in a dry land, you subdued the noise of foreigners, as the heat is subdued by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is answered.
6 Hae mae ah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah kaminawk boih hanah buhraenghaih poih hoi saning kasawk ah suek ih misurtui naekhaih poih to sah pae ueloe, kakhraem koek moi hoi kahoih koek misurtui to patoem pae tih.
On this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, of choice wines, of tender meats, a feast on the lees.
7 Hae mae ah kaminawk boih mikhmai khukhaih kahni hoi kaminawk boih kakhuk mikhmai khukhaih kahni to anih mah asik pae boih tih boeh.
He will destroy on this mountain the covering over all peoples, the web woven over all the nations.
8 Anih mah duekhaih to pazawkhaih hoiah paaeh tih boeh; Angraeng mah kaminawk boih mikhmai ih mikkhraetui to huu pae tih; angmah kaminawk mah hae long nuiah tongh o ih kasaethuihaih to la pae ving tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
9 To na niah loe nihcae mah, Khenah, hae loe aicae ih Sithaw tangtang ni; anih to a zing o pongah, anih mah aicae to na pahlong tih; hae loe aicae mah oep o ih Angraeng ah oh; ang pahlonghaih to oep o si loe, anghoe o si, tiah thui o tih.
It will be said on that day, “Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is Yahweh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 Angraeng ih ban loe hae mae nuiah om tih, toe caphaeh to maitaw aek thungah cawh o baktih toengah, Moab to a khok tlim ah suem ueloe, khok hoiah atii tih.
For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest; and Moab will be trampled down in his place, even as straw is trampled down in a pit filled with manure.
11 Tui alaek kami mah tui alaek hanah ban payangh baktih toengah, anih loe Moab kaminawk salakah ban to payangh tih; Moab amoekhaih hoi ban thacakhaih to anih mah krahsak tathuk tih.
They will spread their hands in the midst of it, as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim. But Yahweh will bring down their pride in spite of the skill of their hands.
12 Nihcae ih kasang sipae to anih mah tanimsak tih, long ah amtimsak ueloe, maiphu ah angcoengsak tih.
Your high fortress walls he will bring down to the ground, to the dust.
