Isaiah 30
1 Anunae a cilsuep te saii hamla BOEIPA kah olphong soah thinthah camoe rhoek aih. Tedae kai lamkah neh mueirhoi a hloe moenih. Ka mueihla kah bal moenih. Te dongah tholh te tholh neh a khoengvoep.
Ho! uncontrolled children, says the Lord, who give effect to a purpose which is not mine, and who make an agreement, but not by my spirit, increasing their sin:
2 Pharaoh kah lunghim khuiah bakuep ham neh Egypt kah hlipkhup ah ying hamla Egypt aka suntlak thil tih aka cet rhoek loh kai kah olka he a dawt uh moenih.
Who make a move to go down into Egypt, without authority from me; who are looking to the strength of Pharaoh for help, and whose hope is in the shade of Egypt.
3 Tedae Pharaoh kah lunghim te nangmih ham yahpohnah la, Egypt hlipkhup ah yingnah te khaw mingthae la poeh ni.
And the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and your hope in the shade of Egypt will come to nothing.
4 A mangpa rhoek loh Zoan ah om uh tih a puencawn rhoek loh Hanes ham ben uh cakhaw,
For his chiefs are at Zoan, and his representatives have come to Hanes.
5 pilnam te a hoeikhang pah voel pawt tih bomkung la a om pawt neh a hoeikhang pawt dongah boeih a borhim vetih yah a bai ni. Te dongah yahpohnah neh kokhahnah la om bal ni.
For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.
6 Citcai khohmuen kah tuithim rhamsa ham olrhuh, sathuengnu a la neh sathueng lamkah, rhulthae neh minyuk aka ding kongah khobing coeng. A khuehtawn te laak kah a nam ah, a thakvoh te kalauk phuu dongah aka phuei rhoek he pilnam ham a hoeikhang moenih.
The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.
7 Egypt long khaw a honghi neh a poeyoek lam ni a bom. Te dongah amih te, “Hoeng hoep Rahab,” la ka khue coeng.
For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.
8 Paan laeh, amih ham te cabael dongah daek lamtah, a cabu dongah tarhit pah laeh. Te daengah ni hmailong khohnin ham khaw, kumhal duela a om yoeyah eh.
Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.
9 Laithae koca rhoek kah a ca rhoek, boekoek pilnam aih he, BOEIPA kah olkhueng tah hnatun ham huem uh pawh.
For they are an uncontrolled people, false-hearted, who will not give ear to the teaching of the Lord:
10 Khohmu taengah, “Na hmuh pawt nim?” Tonghma rhoek taengah khaw kaimih ham oldueng na hmuh pawt nim?, phoknah na hmuh uh akhaw kaimih ham a hnal la thui uh.
Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:
11 Longpuei lamloh nong uh, caehlong lamloh khoe uh. Israel kah a Cim te mamih mikhmuh lamloh kangkuen saeh,” a ti uh.
Get out of the good way, turning from the right road; do not keep the Holy One of Israel before our minds.
12 Te dongah Israel kah a cim loh, “Hekah olka he na sit uh. Hnaemtaeknah dongah na pangtung uh tih khohmang neh a soah na pangnal uh.
For this cause the Holy One of Israel says, Because you will not give ear to this word, and are looking for help in ways of deceit and evil, and are putting your hope in them:
13 Te dongah nangmih taengah tathaesainah he khaw vongtung dongah a puut loh a yam tih a cungku bangla ha om ni. Aka pomdoep uh khaw a pocinah lam ni buengrhuet a om pahoi mai.
This sin will be to you like a crack in a high wall, causing its fall suddenly and in a minute.
14 Amsai loh tuitang kaek a dae banghui la rhek vetih lungma ti mahpawh. Hmai rhong dongkah hmai soh ham neh kangueng lamkah tui bak nah ham kangna khaw paikaek kah a kaek te hmu mahpawh.
And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.
15 Te dongah ni Israel kah a cim ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Maelnah neh mongnah dongah a mong la n'khang coeng tih ueppangnah dongah na thayung thamal khaw om dae ta na ngaih uh pawh.
For the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, said, In quiet and rest is your salvation: peace and hope are your strength: but you would not have it so.
16 Te phoeiah, “Moenih, te ham te marhang dongah ka rhaelrham uh bitni,” na ti uh. Na rhaelrham uh vaengah, “Yanghoep la n'ngol uh,” na ti uh dongah nangmih aka hloem rhoek khaw yanghoep uh van ni.
Saying, No, for we will go in flight on horses; so you will certainly go in flight: and, We will go on the backs of quick-running beasts; so those who go after you will be quick-footed.
17 Tlang lu kah cungkui bangla, som sokah rholik bangla na cul uh hil pakhat kah tluungnah dongah, panga kah tluungnah dongah khaw thawng khat la na rhaelrham uh ni.
A thousand will go in fear before one; even before five you will go in flight: till you are like a pillar by itself on the top of a mountain, and like a flag on a hill.
18 Tedae BOEIPA loh nangmih rhen ham n'rhingda tangloeng tih nangmih aka haidam la pomsang uh tangkhuet. Tiktamnah Pathen Yahovah amah te aka rhingda boeih tah a yoethen.
For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.
19 Jerusalem kah khosa Zion pilnam aw na rhap rhoe na rhap voel mahpawh. Na pang ol te a yaak vaengah n'rhen rhoe, n'rhen vetih nang te n'doo ni.
O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer.
20 Boeipa loh nang te rhal kah buh neh hnaemtaeknah tui m'pae cakhaw na saya rhoek te khaw khoe mahpawh. Tedae na saya aka hmu rhoek te na mik ah om bitni.
And though the Lord will give you the bread of trouble and the water of grief, you will no longer put your teacher on one side, but you will see your teacher:
21 Na hnuk lamkah ol loh, “Longpuei he bantang ah khaw, banvoei ah khaw cet mailai,” a ti te na hna loh a yaak bitni.
And at your back, when you are turning to the right hand or to the left, a voice will be sounding in your ears, saying, This is the way in which you are to go.
22 Na cak ben mueidaep neh, na sui mueihloe pholip khaw na poeih ni. Te rhoek te na pumthim hainak bangla thaek uh vetih, “Acih hoeih,” na ti ni.
And you will make unclean what is covering your pictured images of silver, and the plating of your images of gold: you will send them away as an unclean thing, saying, Be gone!
23 Te vaengah khohmuen kah na tuh na cangti te khotlan loh a suep ni. Khohmuen kah cangpai buh neh kuirhang la na om ni. Tekah khohnin ah tah rhamtlim dangka ah na boiva loh pulpulh luem ni.
And he will give rain for your seed, so that you may put it in the earth; and you will have bread from the produce of the earth, good and more than enough for your needs: in that day the cattle will get their food in wide grass-lands.
24 Diklai kah aka tho aka tat saelhung neh laak pataeng cangcopcung neh, rha neh a hlaih canghlaih, kamvuelh ni a caak eh.
And the oxen and the young asses which are used for ploughing, will have salted grain which has been made free from the waste with fork and basket.
25 Tlang sang tom ah khaw, som tom ah khaw ana om saeh. Rhaltoengim a cungku ham vaengkah ngawnnah a len khohnin ah sokca rhahlawn tui loh phul coeng.
And there will be rivers and streams of water on every tall mountain and on every high hill, in the day when great numbers are put to the sword, when the towers come down.
26 Hla kah a vang te khomik kah a vang bangla om ni. Khomik kah a vang khaw khohnin hnin rhih kah a vang bangla a pueh parhih la om ni. BOEIPA long tah a pilnam kah a tlawt te a poi pah tih a hmapuei hmasoe khaw a hoeih sak.
And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times greater, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord puts oil on the wounds of his people, and makes them well from the blows they have undergone.
27 BOEIPA kah a ming tah khohla bangsang lamkah a thintoek aka ung khui lamkah ha thoeng coeng ke. A hmuilai kah kosi hmaihu te a thah la baetawt tih a ol khaw hmai bangla tak.
See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:
28 A hil khaw rhawn duela a muelh tih aka yo soklong la, namtom te poeyoek khamyai ah vairhuek la, pilnam kam dongkah a hmaang kamrhui la.
And his breath is as an overflowing stream, coming up even to the neck, shaking the nations for their destruction, like the shaking of grain in a basket: and he will put a cord in the mouths of the people, turning them out of their way.
29 Laa khaw nangmih taengah tah khotue a ciim hlaem kah bangla om vetih, BOEIPA tlang kah Israel lungpang paan hamla phitphoet neh aka thoeih bangla thinko kah kohoenah khaw om ni.
You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and you will be glad in heart, as when they go with music of the pipe to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock of Israel.
30 A ol mueithennah te BOEIPA loh n'yaak sak vetih, hmaihluei aka hlawp rhonam, hlipuei neh rhaelnu lungto, thintoek thinkoeh dongah a ban loh a mong la m'hmuh sak ni.
And the Lord will send out the sound of his great voice, and they will see his arm stretched out, with the heat of his wrath, and the flame of a burning fire; with a cloud-burst, and storm, and a rain of ice.
31 BOEIPA ol loh Assyria te a rhihyawp sak vetih, mancai neh a ngawn ni.
For through the voice of the Lord the Assyrian will be broken, and the Lord's rod will be lifted up against him.
32 BOEIPA loh a ning a hol pah vaengah a pum dongkah kamrhing te khaw, rhotoeng khaw caitueng kah lamkai la boeih a poeh pah. Te vaengah caemtloek kah thueng hmueih loh amih te a vathoh thil ni.
And every blow of the rod of his punishment, which the Lord will send on him, will be with the sound of music: and with the waving of his sword the Lord will make war against him.
33 Tophet khaw hlaemvai lamkah ni rhong a pai thil coeng. Te khaw manghai ham a soepsoei pah rhoe. A hlanhmai te a dung a ka sak tih hmai te khaw thing muep a hueng thil. BOEIPA kah a hiil loh kat hmai soklong bangla te te a dom.
For a place of fire has long been ready; yes, it has been made ready for the king; he has made it deep and wide: it is massed with fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of fire, puts a light to it.
