Isaiah 33
1 Anunae aka rhoelrhak khaw na rhoelrhak yoe mahpawh, hnukpoh khaw a taengah hnukpoh yoe mahpawh. Na rhoelrhak bawt ah namah n'rhoelrhak ni, na hnukpoh bawt ah namah te n'hnukpoh thil uh van ni.
Woe to thee, thou spoiler, who hast not been spoiled! Thou plunderer, who hast not been plundered! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; When thou hast finished plundering, they shall plunder thee.
2 BOEIPA kaimih he n'rhen lah, namah ni kan lamtawn uh. Mincang ah a bantha la, citcai tue vaengah kaimih ham khangnah la ha om lah.
O Jehovah, have mercy upon us! in thee do we trust; Be thou our strength every morning, Our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 Hlangping ol ah pilnam rhoek loh yong uh tih, na thoh vaengah namtom khaw haeh uh.
At the voice of thy thunder the people flee; When thou dost arise, the nations are scattered.
4 Na kutbuem te cangah kah phol bangla kol ni. Kaisih cungpet bangla cu ni.
Your spoil shall be gathered, as the locust gathereth; As the locust runneth, so shall they run upon it.
5 BOEIPA tah hmuensang la kho a sak dongah pomdoep rhoe pai saeh. Zion tah tiktamnah, duengnah neh a baetawt sak.
Jehovah is exalted; Yea, he dwelleth on high; He filleth Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Namah tue vaengkah khangnah khohrhang, cueihnah he uepomnah la om vetih BOEIPA hinyahnah neh mingnah te a thakvoh la om ni.
There shall be security in thy times; Wisdom and knowledge shall be thy store of prosperity, And the fear of Jehovah, this shall be thy treasure!
7 Thinom te kawtpoeng ah a doek uh tih rhoepnah puencawn rhoek khaw bungbung rhap uh coeng ke.
Behold, the mighty men cry without: The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Longpuei rhoek khaw pong uh tih caehlong kah aka pongpa khaw kangkuen. Paipi te a phae tih khopuei rhoek te a sawtsit tih hlanghing la toeksap pawh.
The highways are desolate; The traveller ceaseth; He breaketh the covenant; he despiseth the cities; Of men he maketh no account.
9 Khohmuen a tahah te a nguekcoi thil. Lebanon khaw tal tih tloih coeng. Sharon te a kolken bangla om coeng tih Bashan neh Karmel khaw congpet coeng.
The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is put to shame, and withered away; Sharon is like a desert, And Bashan and Carmel are stripped of their leaves.
10 BOEIPA loh, “Ka thoo pawn ni, ka pomsang uh pawn ni, ka pacuet uh pawn ni,” a ti.
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah, Now will I exalt myself, Now will I lift myself up.
11 Diphung la na vawn uh tih divawt na cun uh. Na hil dongkah hmai loh namah n'hlawp coeng.
Ye shall conceive chaff, and bring forth stubble; Your own wrath is the fire which shall devour you.
12 Pilnam te tihkoi lungbok bangla om uh vetih, hling a vung bangla hmai neh a hlup uh ni.
The nations shall be burnt into lime; Like thorns cut down, they shall be consumed with fire.
13 Ka saii te khohla loh ya pai lamtah ka thayung thamal he a yoei loh ming uh pai.
Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; Mark, ye that are near, my power!
14 Hlangtholh rhoek tah Zion ah rhi uh tih lailak rhoek loh thuennah a buem uh. Mamih khuiah hmai kah a hlawp la aka bakuep te unim? Kumhal hmaingen la mamih khuiah aka bakuep te unim?
The sinners in Zion are struck with dread; Terror hath seized upon the unrighteous: “Who among us can dwell in devouring fire? Who among us can dwell in everlasting flames?”
15 Duengnah dongah aka pongpa tih vanat la aka thui, tlungalnah te mueluemnah ham aka tuei, kapbaih aka duen taeng lamloh a kut aka khong, thii long aka yaak ngaih taeng lamloh a hna aka buem, boethae aka hmu lamkah a mik aka him,
He that walketh in righteousness, And speaketh that which is right, That despiseth the gain of oppression, And shaketh his hands from bribery, That stoppeth his ears, so as not to hear of blood, And shutteth his eyes, so as not to behold iniquity.
16 anih tah hmuensang ah kho a sak vetih, rhalmahim thaelpang a imsang la om ni. A buh loh a khut vetih a tui loh a tangnah ni.
He shall dwell on high; The strongholds of rocks shall be his defence; His bread shall be given him; His water shall not fail.
17 Manghai kah a sakthen te na mik loh a hmuh khohla bangsang kho te khaw a hmuh ni.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his glory They shall survey a wide-extended land.
18 Cadaek te ta? hno aka thuek te melae? rhaltoengim aka toek te melae? tila na lungbuei loh mueirhih te a thuep ni.
Thy heart shall meditate on the past terror: “Where now is the scribe? Where the weigher of tribute? Where he that numbered the towers?”
19 Pilnam aka saan te na hmu voel mahpawh. Pilnam kah ol khuet neh tamdaeng ol n'yakmingnah pawt te khaw ya voel mahpawh.
Thou shalt see no more a fierce people, A people of a dark language, which thou couldst not hear, And of a barbarous tongue, which thou couldst not understand;
20 Mamih kah tingtunnah khorha Zion ke so lah. Na mik loh mongkawt tolkhoeng Jerusalem te a hmuh bitni. Dap te puen pawt vetih a hlingcong khaw a yoeyah la phong mahpawh. A rhuihet te pakhat pataeng pat mahpawh.
Thou shalt see Zion, the city of our solemn feasts; Thine eyes shall behold Jerusalem, as a quiet habitation. A tent that shall never be moved, Whose stakes shall never be taken away, And whose cords shall never be broken.
21 Aka khuet BOEIPA tah mamih ham a kut aka dangka sak sokko tuiva hmuen la om pahoi coeng. A soah lawngkaih kah sangpho khaw cet pawt vetih timbaw aka khuet khaw kat mahpawh.
For there the glorious Jehovah will be to us Instead of rivers and broad streams, Which no oared galley shall pass, And no gallant ship go through.
22 BOEIPA loh mamih kah lai aka tloek tih, BOEIPA tah mamih aka taem la om. Mamih kah manghai BOEIPA, amah long ni mamih n'khang eh.
For Jehovah is our judge; Jehovah is our lawgiver; Jehovah is our king; it is he that will save us.
23 Na rhuihet te hlong tih a cungkui yung khaw a kueng voel pawt dongah a rholik khaw a ku uh moenih. Te dongah kutbuem maeh te a tael ni. Khokhaem rhoek khaw puh vetih maeh te a poelyoe uh ni.
Thy ropes hang loose; They cannot hold the mast-socket, Nor can they spread the sail. Then shall a great spoil be divided; Even the lame shall take the prey.
24 Imben loh, “Ka tlo,” ti mahpawh. A khuikah pilnam khosa khaw thaesainah a phueih pah coeng.
No inhabitant shall say, I am sick; The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
