Isaiah 34
1 Namtom rhoek loh hnatun hamla ha mop lah. Namtu rhoek loh hnatung uh saeh lamtah diklai neh lunglai boeih neh a cadil cahma rhoek boeih loh yaa saeh.
O nations and peoples: draw near, and listen, and pay attention! Let the earth and its fullness hear, the entire world and all its offspring.
2 BOEIPA kah a thinhul te namtom boeih taengah, a kosi te amih kah caempuei boeih taengla pawk. Amih te a thup vetih maeh la a voeih ni.
For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury is over all their armies. He has put them to death, and he has given them over to slaughter.
3 Amih a ngawn te a voeih vaengah a rhok kah a bothae te rhim ni. Amih thii loh tlang a yut sak ni.
Their slain will be cast out, and from their carcasses a foul odor will rise up. The mountains will languish because of their blood.
4 Vaan dong caempuei boeih te muei vetih vaan cabu bangla kolong uh ni. Amih kah caempuei boeih te misur hnah a hoo bangla, thaibu a hoo bangla hoo ni.
And the entire army of the heavens will languish, and the heavens will be folded like a book. And their entire army will fall away, as a leaf falls from the vine or from the fig tree.
5 Ka cunghang loh vaan ah hmilhmal tih Edom a cuk thil. Pilnam te kamah kah yaehtaboeih loh laitloeknah neh a pha coeng.
“For my sword in heaven has been inebriated. Behold, it will descend upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter, unto judgment.”
6 BOEIPA kah cunghang tah a thii hah coeng. Bozrah kah BOEIPA hmueih neh Edom khohmuen kah maeh len kongah maehtha neh, tuca thii neh, kikong neh tutal kuel kah a tha loh a men sak.
The sword of the Lord has been filled with blood. It has been thickened by the blood of lambs and he-goats, by the innermost blood of rams. For the victim of the Lord is in Bozrah, and a great slaughter is in the land of Edom.
7 Cung neh vaito lueng khaw amih taengla suntla ni. Te vaengah a khohmuen te thii neh hmilhmal vetih a laipi khaw maehtha bangla men ni.
And the single-horned beasts will descend with them, and the bulls along with the mighty. Their land will be inebriated by blood, and their ground by the fat of their lazy ones.
8 BOEIPA taengah phulohnah khohnin neh, Zion kah tuituknah te a sah kum khaw om.
For this is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of retribution for the judgment of Zion.
9 A soklong te kunhnai la, a laipi te kat la poeh ni. A khohmuen te kunhnai rhawm la poeh ni.
And its torrents will be turned into tar, and its soil into sulfur. And its land will become burning tar.
10 Khoyin khothaih kumhal duela thi mahpawh. A khu khaw cadilcahma lamkah cadilcahma patoeng taengla cet ni. A yoeyah kah a yoeyah la khap uh vetih te long te paan uh voel mahpawh.
Night and day, it will not be extinguished; its smoke will rise up without ceasing. From generation to generation it will remain desolate. No one will pass through it, forever and ever.
11 Khosoek saelbu, kharhoeng neh saelbu loh a pang vetih vangak loh kho a sak thil ni. Rhilam te hinghong la, lungto he a hong la a toe uh.
The pelican and the hedgehog will possess it. And the ibis and the raven will live in it. And a measuring line will be extended over it, so that it may be reduced to nothing, and a plumb line, unto desolation.
12 A hlangcoelh rhoek khaw a ram ah hah a khueh uh vetih a mangpa rhoek khaw a honghi la boeih om ni.
Its nobles will not be in that place. Instead, they will call upon the king, and all its leaders will be as nothing.
13 A impuei te dohui hling loh, a hmuencak te mutlo hling loh a yam thil ni. Te vaengah pongui kah tolkhoeng la, tuirhuk vanu kah a bu la poeh ni.
And thorns and nettles will rise up in its houses, and the thistle in its fortified places. And it will be the lair of serpents and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Te vaengah kohong neh sa-ui hum vetih maae loh a hui a khue ni. Vathae khaw pahoi paa vetih amah ham ngolbuel a hmuh ni.
And demons and monsters will meet, and the hairy ones will cry out to one another. There, the ogress has lain down and found rest for herself.
15 Te ah valah loh bu a tuk vetih oi ni. A khae phoeiah tah a hlipkhup ah a ku thil ni. Te ah te valae rhoek khaw tingtun uh vetih a la te a paa cu ni.
In that place, the hedgehog has kept its den, and has raised its young, and has dug around them, and has kept them warm in its shadow. In that place, the birds of prey have joined together, one to another.
16 BOEIPA kah cabu dongah cae uh lamtah tae uh lah. Amih kah pakhat khaw hmaai mahpawh. A la pakhat khaw a paa vawt uh mahpawh. Ka ka loh a uen coeng dongah amih te BOEIPA kah a mueihla loh a coi ni.
Search and read diligently in the book of the Lord. Not one of them was lacking; not one has sought for the other. For what has proceeded from my mouth, he has commanded, and his very Spirit has gathered them.
17 Amah loh amih ham hmulung a nan pah. A kut loh amih ham rhilam a suem pah te kumhal duela a pang uh ni. Cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma loh a khuiah kho a sak uh ni.
And he has cast lots over them. And his hand has distributed this to them by measure. They will possess it, even unto eternity. From generation to generation, they will dwell in it.
