Isaiah 27
1 To na niah loe kacawn thaih Leviathan pahui to Angraeng mah angmah ih sumsen kanoe, thacak sumsen kalen hoiah hum tih, tuipui thungah kaom angkawn ut ah angkaae pahui pui Leviathan to hum tih.
In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
2 To na niah misurtui kathim pasawhhaih misur takha hanah laa to sah oh.
In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3 Kai Angraeng mah takha to ka toep; boeng ai ah tui to ka bawh han; minawk mah paro han ai ah, khoving khodai ka toep han.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 Misur takha nuiah palung ka phui ai; kapring hoi soekhring mah kai hae na tuh tih maw? Nihcae tuk hanah hmabang ah ka caeh moe, nihcae to hmai hoiah ka thlaek king han.
I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 To tih ai boeh loe abuep hanah kai khaeah angzo o nasoe loe, angdaehhaih sah o nasoe; kai hoi angdaehhaih sah o nasoe.
Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 Hmabang ah loe Jakob mah tangzun sah tih; Israel mah apawk to tangmuemh ueloe apawk tih, to tiah long loe athaih hoiah koi tih.
In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Israel pacaekthlaek kaminawk Angraeng mah pacaekthlaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Israel to pacaekthlaek toeng maw? Nihcae hum kaminawk baktiah anih mah Israel to hum maw?
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 Angraeng mah anih to thuitaek moe, a haek; ni angyae bang ih takhi song naah loe, thacak takhi mah anih to hmuh phaeng.
By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 To pongah Jakob ih acaeng mah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih hmaicam thlungnawk to thungh baktiah kadip puengah ahnoih o moe, thing hoiah sak ih krangnawk, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicamnawk to pakhruk o boih naah ni, nihcae ih zaehaih to ciim vop tih, hae loe anih zae ciimhaih thingthai ah om tih.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 Toe kacak sipae hoi pakaa ih vangpui loe angqai krang ueloe, athung ah kami om mak ai, praezaek baktiah pahnawt o sut tih boeh; to ahmuen ah maitaw caanawk to pra o tih, to ah tabok o ueloe, thing tanghangnawk to caa o tih.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 Thing tanghangnawk loe zaek ueloe angkhaek tih; to naah nongpatanawk angzo o ueloe, hmaitik hanah la o tih; hae kaminawk loe panoekhaih tawn o ai; to pongah nihcae sahkung loe nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih tawn mak ai, nihcae Omsakkung loe nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih tawn mak ai.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 To na niah Angraeng mah vapui longhaih ahmuen hoi Izip prae vapui khoek to thingthai to pakhrik tih, Aw nangcae Israel caanawk loe maeto pacoeng maeto akhuih ih thingthai ah na om o tih.
In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
13 To na niah kalen parai mongkah to ueng o tih, Assyria ah kanghmaa kaminawk hoi Izip prae ah misong ah kalaem kaminawk to angzo o ueloe, Jerusalem mae ciim nuiah Angraeng to bok o tih boeh.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
