Isaiah 34
1 Nangcae prae kaminawk, thaih hanah anghnai oh; nangcae kaminawk, tahngai oh; long hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk, long hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk boih mah tahngai o nasoe!
Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.
2 Angraeng loe prae kaminawk boih nuiah palungphui, anih palungphuihaih loe nihcae ih misatuh kaminawk boih nuiah oh; Angraeng mah nihcae to amrosak moe, kami humnawk khaeah paek.
For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.
3 Hum ih kaminawk to va o sut ueloe, nihcae ih qok loe hmuisae phi tih; maenawk loe nihcae ih athii hoiah amkaw tih.
Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.
4 Van ah kaom hmuennawk boih anghma ueloe, van doeh caqam tangoeng baktiah ayaw hmoek tih boeh; van ah kaom hmuennawk loe misurkung hoiah kakrah aqam baktih, thaiduetkung hoiah thaiduet thaih angmuen baktiah krah o tih.
And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.
5 Kai ih sumsen loe van ah tui kamhah ah nae tih; khenah, lokcaek hanah, Edom kami hoi ka tangoeng ih kaminawk nuiah anghum tathuk tih.
For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.
6 Angraeng ih sumsen loe athii hoiah koi, athawk mah ayaw hmoek, tuucaa hoi maehnawk ih athii hoiah koi moe, tuu tae pakae pong ih athawk hoiah koi boeh; Angraeng mah Bozrah vangpui ah angbawnhaih to sak moe, Edom prae ah pop parai kami humhaih to sak boeh.
The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.
7 Nihcae loe koknonawk, maitaw taenawk, saning kacoeh maitaw taenawk hoi nawnto angzo o ueloe, amtim o tih; nihcae ih prae loe athii hoiah sui pak ueloe, maiphunawk doeh moithawk mah suisak boih tih.
And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.
8 Angraeng mah lu lakhaih ni, Zion kawng pongah kating ah danpaekhaih saning to pha tih.
For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.
9 Edom prae ih vacongnawk loe thing tangpri ah angcoeng tih, maiphu doeh hmai kangqong thaih kat baktiah angcoeng ueloe, prae doeh hmai kakang thaih thing tangpri ah angcoeng tih.
And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.
10 Khoving khodai dueh mak ai; dungzan khoek to hmaikhue tacawt poe tih; adung maeto pacoeng maeto karoek to pong sut tih boeh; dungzan khoek to mi doeh a taengah caeh o mak ai boeh.
It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.
11 Toe to prae loe bukbuh hoi praezaek ih uitalunawk mah toep o tih; bukbuh hoi pangaahnawk doeh to ahmuen ah om o tih; to prae nuiah anghmanghaih qui hoi amrohaih qui to anih mah payang pae tih.
But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.
12 Nihcae mah kalen kaminawk to angraenghaih prae ah kawk tih, toe mi doeh om o mak ai, anih ih angraengnawk doeh anghmaa boih tih boeh.
The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.
13 Siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuen ah soekhring to amprawk ueloe, misatoephaih kacak sipaenawk doeh soekhring hoi kapring mah ayaw khoep tih, tasuinawk hoi bukbuhnawk acaenghaih ahmuen ah om tih boeh.
And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.
14 Praezaek ih kasan moinawk hoi tasuinawk to angcuu o tih; satharnawk loe maeto hoi maeto angkawk o tih; to ah aqum ih moinawk to pra o tih, nihcae loe anghakhaih ahmuen kahoih hnu o tih.
And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.
15 Bukbuh mah tabu bop ueloe, tadui tih; tadui to awh ueloe, anih ih tahlip ah acaa to khaek tih; tahmu prawnnawk doeh to ah angpop o ueloe, amno hoi ampa akoep ah om o tih.
The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.
16 Angraeng ih cabu to khen ah loe kroek ah; to ih moisannawk loe maeto doeh anghmaa o mak ai; ampui kavawt maeto doeh om o mak ai; ka pakha hoiah ni hae lok hae ka paek, anih ih Muithla mah nihcae to pakhueng tih.
See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.
17 Nihcae hanah taham sae kahoih khethaih phoisa to a vah pae, a ban hoiah tah pae moe, prae to pazet pae; nihcae mah to prae to dungzan khoek to toep o ueloe, adung maeto pacoeng maeto karoek to to ahmuen ah om o tih boeh.
And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.
