Isaiah 32
1 Manghai tah duengnah neh manghai vetih mangpa rhoek loh a tiktam la boei uh ni.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 Te vaengah tah khohli vaengkah congket conglong neh hlipuei vaengkah a huephael bangla, rhamrhae kah sokca tui bangla, buhmueh rhathih khohmuen kah thaelpang puei kah hlipkhup bangla boeih om ni.
A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 Aka hmu rhoek loh a mik buem uh voel pawt vetih aka ya kah a hna long khaw hnatung uh pawn ni.
The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Thinko aka loe long khaw ming hamla a yakming ni. Ol khol khaw a loe la puk cal ni.
The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 Hlang ang te hlangcong la khue voel pawt vetih ngukngak te hlang rhoeikhang ti nah mahpawh.
The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 Lailak la saii ham neh BOEIPA te rholrhaknah thui ham, akaang loh boethaehalang a thui tih a lungbuei kah boethae a saii. Hlang kah hinglu te bungpong la a kaeng tih tuihalh khaw tui-ok loh a vaitah sak.
For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profanity, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Ngukngak loh a boethae hnopai te khonuen rhamtat la a khueh tih, khodaeng loh tiktam a thui vaengah pataeng kodo mangdaeng te a honghi ol neh vueinan hamla caai.
The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8 Tedae hlangcong long tah moeihoeihnah neh a uen tih moeihoeihnah neh pai van.
But the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things.
9 Mongkawt nu rhoek thoo uh lamtah ka ol hnatun uh. Palyal tanu rhoek ka olthui he hnakaeng uh lah.
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
10 Palyal rhoek te kum at hnin at ah na tlai uh bitni. Misurbit loh n'khah vetih cangah khaw pha mahpawh.
For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage will fail. The harvest won’t come.
11 Mongkawt nu te lakueng saeh, palyal nu rhoek khaw tlai uh saeh. Hni te pit saeh lamtah a yal la a pumpu te vah saeh.
Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12 Naidoeh lohma ham neh misur thaihsu ham te rhangsuk mah rhaengsae laeh.
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Hling neh lota he ka pilnam kah hmuenlung ham a yam pah coeng tih, khorha kah omthennah dongah aka yalpo imkhui boeih ham pai ni.
Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14 Impuei te a phap vetih khopuei a lilup khaw a hnoo ni. Molpuei neh rhaltawt imsang te kohong marhang kah a omthennah neh tuping uemnah la poeh vetih kumhal due lungtokhui la om ni.
For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
15 Hmuensang lamkah Mueihla te mamih soah han kingling vaengah tah khosoek khaw cangphil cangngol la poeh tih khoham cangphil cangngol bangla a poek.
until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16 Te vaengah tah khosoek ah tiktamnah loh kho a sak vetih, duengnah loh cangphil cangngol te a om thil ni.
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
17 Duengnah kah a khoboe tah rhoepnah la, duengnah kah thohtatnah tah kumhal due mong vetih ngaikhuek la om ni.
The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Ka pilnam long tah rhoepnah tolkhoeng neh pangtungnah tolhmuen ah duemnah neh a mongkawt la kho a sak ni.
My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
19 Te dongah duup khaw rhael aka bo loh a hnaa vetih khopuei khaw tlarhoelnah la kunyun ni.
though hail flattens the forest, and the city is levelled completely.
20 Te dae tui kaeng te boeih aka tawn tih vaito neh laak kho neh aka tluek rhoek tah na yoethen uh.
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
