Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh namah ni ka Pathen. Namah te kan pomsang vetih na ming ni ka uem eh. Hlamat lamloh oltak uepomnah neh na cilsuep te khobaerhambae la na saii coeng.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
2 Khopuei te khaw lungkuk la, khorha cakrhuet khaw imrhong la, khopuei lamkah kholong impuei te kumhal duela khoeng voel mahpawh.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Te dongah namtom khorha kah hlangtlung pilnam loh nang n'thangpom uh vetih hlanghaeng rhoek loh nang n'rhih uh ni.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Tattloel ham lunghim la, khodaeng ham khaw lunghim la, rhal lakli neh khohli vaengah hlipyingnah, kholing vaengah hlipkhup la, hlanghaeng khohli vaengah hlipuei pangbueng bangla om coeng.
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 Rhamrhae kah kholing bangla, kholong kah longlonah khaw, kholing khaw khomai hlipkhup neh dup na hnah, hlanghaeng kah laa khaw na paa sak.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
6 caempuei BOEIPA loh pilnam pum ham situi neh buhkoknah, sampa situi neh buhkoknah, hangnaeng a ciil a rhoe te tlang soah a saii pah ni.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Pilnam cungkuem soah maelhmai khuprhup aka cun neh namtom cungkuem soah mueihlawn aka khuk tah, hekah tlang ah a dolh ni.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
8 Dueknah loh a yoeyah la a yoop ni. Maelhmai tom kah mikphi te, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a huih vetih a pilnam sokah kokhahnah khaw diklai hman lamloh boeih a khoe ni. BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
9 Tekah khohnin ah tah, “Mamih kah Pathen la ke, amah la n'lamtawn uh dongah la mamih n'khang he. BOEIPA amah te lamtawn uh coeng dongah omngaih uh sih lamtah amah kah khangnah khuiah kohoe sak uh sih,” a ti ni.
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Hekah tlang soah BOEIPA kah kut loh a om thil ni. Tedae aeknaeng tui dongkah cangkong a til bangla Moab te a hmuila a til ni.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Tui aka ya loh tuiya ham a phuel uh bangla a laklung ah a kut a phuel vetih a boeimang neh a kut dongkah kutrham te khaw a kunyun pah ni.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Na imsang hmuencak vongtung te a kunyun sak vetih diklai laipi a ben duela a ngam sak ni.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
