Isaiah 2
1 Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh olka a hmuh.
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Hmailong kah a tue a pha vaengah BOEIPA im tlang te cikngae la om ni. Tlang dong neh som cawn vetih namtom boeih loh amah taengah hlampan uh ni.
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3 Pilnam rhoek muep cet uh vetih, “BOEIPA kah tlang la cet uh sih, Jakob Pathen im te paan uh sih lamtah a longpuei te mamih n'thuinuet ni. Te daengah ni a caehlong ah m'pongpa eh. Olkhueng te Zion lamloh, BOEIPA ol tah Jerusalem lamloh ha thoeng ni.
Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
4 Namtom rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek vetih, pilnam te a cungkuem la a tluung ni. Te vaengah a cunghang te tuktong la, a caai te vin la a dae uh ni. Namtom loh namtom taengah cunghang muk uh voel mahpawh. Caemtloek khaw cang uh voel mahpawh.
He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Jakob imkhui halo lamtah BOEIPA kah vangnah khuiah cet uh sih.
House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
6 Na pilnam Jokob imkhui te na phap coeng. Khothoeng lamloh a et. Philisti bangla kutyaek a sawt uh tih kholong ca rhoek neh kut a paenguh.
For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
7 A khohmuen ah ngun neh sui khaw bae tih a thakvoh khaw vawt pawh. A khohmuen ah marhang khaw bae tih a leng te bawt pawh.
Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 A khohmuen ah a kut dongkah kutsai mueirhol bae tih a kutdawn neh a saii te a bakop thiluh.
Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 Te dongah hlang he ngam vetih tongpa khaw kunyun ni. Tedae amih te dangrhoek boeh.
Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
10 BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah hmai lamloh, amah kah mingthennah rhuepomnah lungpang te paan saeh lamtah laipi khuiah khaw vuei uh saeh.
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Hlang kah a oeknah mik tah kunyun vetih hlang buhuengpomnah khaw ngam ni. Te dongah te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah long ni a hoeptlang eh.
The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA kah khohnin he thinthah neh aka pomsang boeih ham khaw, aka cangdoek neh kunyun boeih ham khaw om coeng.
For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
13 Lebanon lamphai boeih, Bashan kah thingsang, thinglen thingnu boeih ham khaw,
for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14 Tlang sang boeih ham khaw, som thang boeih ham khaw,
for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Rhaltoengim sang boeih ham khaw, vongtung, vong cak boeih ham khaw,
for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16 Tarshish sangpho boeih ham khaw, sahnaih kutmuei boeih ham khaw om coeng.
for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17 Te dongah hlang kah a oeknah te a ngam sak vetih, hlang kah buhuengpomnah khaw a kunyun sak ni. Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah bueng ni aka sang eh.
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Mueirhol rhoek khaw boeih khum ni.
The idols shall utterly pass away.
19 Diklai he huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh amah mingthennah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang lungko neh laipi khui te a paan uh.
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 Te khohnin ah hlang loh amah kah cak mueirhol, sui mueirhol khaw a voeih ni. A bawk ham te khothal la, pumphak la a saii uh.
In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21 Diklai huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh a hoemdamnah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang thaelrhaep neh thaelpang thaelvap la pawk uh ni.
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 A hnarhong neh aka hiil hlang te toeng laeh, anih te metlamlae a ngai aih.
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
