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, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of 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 wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and [his] fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3 Hum ih kaminawk to va o sut ueloe, nihcae ih qok loe hmuisae phi tih; maenawk loe nihcae ih athii hoiah amkaw tih.

And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

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 all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered [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 is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment.

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 Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter 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 buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 Angraeng mah lu lakhaih ni, Zion kawng pongah kating ah danpaekhaih saning to pha tih.

For it is the day of Jehovah's vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of 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 the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch:

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 shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and 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.

And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness.

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.

Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought.

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 shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and it shall be a dwelling-place of wild dogs, a court 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 there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest.

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.

There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another.

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.

Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.

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.

For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
