Isaiah 32
1 Khenah, siangpahrang mah toenghaih hoiah prae to uk tih, ukkung angraengnawk mah toenghaih hoiah uk o tih.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 Kami loe takhi song naah anghawkhaih ahmuen, takhi sae song naah abuephaih ahmuen ah om tih; long karoem ahmuen ih vapui tui baktiah om ueloe, ni kanaa ahmuen ih lungsong tahlip baktiah om tih.
A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 Hnukhaih mik tawn kaminawk loe mik pasim o mak ai, lokthaihaih naa tawn kaminawk mah doeh lok to tahngai o tih boeh.
The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Panoekhaih tawn ai kami ih palung mah panoekhaih to tawn ueloe, lokaa mah doeh kamtuengah lok apae thai tih boeh.
The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 Kamthu loe khingya koi kaom kami ah poek o mak ai boeh; poeksae kami doeh pakoeh koi kaom ahmuen to paek mak ai boeh.
The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 Kamthu mah loe Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen to sak moe, Angraeng to kasae thuih hanah zok amthlam kami to zok amthlamsak aep, tui anghae kami han doeh tui anghaesak aep hanah, loksae apae ueloe, zae sakhaih khue to poek tih.
For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Kasae kami loe lok amlai o, kahoih ai hmuen to sak o; amtang kami mah loktang lok thui cadoeh, anih amrosak hanah kahoih ai hmuen to a poek o.
The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8 Toe minawk abomh koeh kami loe kahoih hmuen to a poek pongah, anih loe minawk abomh koehhaih palungthin hoiah khosah tih.
But the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things.
9 Thazoi ah kaom nangcae nongpatanawk, angthawk oh; acoehaih tawn ai canunawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai oh!
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
10 acoehaih tawn ai nongpatanawk, nangcae loe pop parai ani hoi saning thungah raihaih na tong o tih; misurthaih om mak ai ueloe, misurthaih pakhrikhaih atue doeh pha mak ai.
For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage will fail. The harvest will not come.
11 Thazoi ah kaom nongpatanawk, tasoeh oh; acoehaih tawn ai kami nang, mawn ah; na khukbuen to angkhring ah loe kazii to kaengah angzaeng ah.
Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12 Long kahoih lawk hmuen hoi athaih kapop ah kathai misurkung pongah saoek atumhaih hoiah mawn oh.
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Kai kaminawk ih long loe kapring hoi soekhring hoiah koi tih; Ue, anghoehaih imnawk hoi vangpui nuiah doeh soekhring to amprawk tih;
Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14 Angraeng ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak ving boeh pongah, vangpui thung ih atuen doeh angqai krang tih boeh; misatoephaih im hoi imsangnawk loe dungzan khoek to pong sut ueloe, laa hrangnawk prathaih ahmuen hoi tuunawk prathaih ahmuen ah om lat tih boeh;
For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
15 ranui bang hoi aicae nuiah Muithla kraih thuih naah loe, praezaek to long kahoih lawk hmuen ah angcoeng ueloe, long kahoih lawk hmuen doeh taw baktiah poekhaih atue to om tih boeh.
until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16 Praezaek ah toenghaih hoi lokcaekhaih om ueloe, toenghaih to long kahoih lawk hmuen ah om poe tih boeh.
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
17 Toenghaih mah angdaehhaih to omsak tih; toenghaih athaih loe dungzan monghaih hoi kacak poe oephaih ah om tih.
The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Kai ih kaminawk loe misa monghaih ahmuen, mawnhaih om ai ahmuen, kamding rue ah anghakhaih ahmuen ah om o tih boeh;
My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
19 toe taw nuiah qaetui to krah ueloe, vangpui doeh long hoi kangvan ah ahnaem tathuk tih.
though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.
20 Tui ohhaih ahmuen ah aanmu haeh kami, maitaw hoi laa hrangnawk to koeh baktiah prasak kaminawk loe tahamhoih.
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
