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.

Come near, ye nations, to hear; and ye people, hearken: let the earth hear, and all that filleth it; the world, and all things that spring forth of it.

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 [enkindled] over all the nations, and his fury over all their army: he hath devoted them, he hath given them up to the 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.

And their slain also shall be cast out, and as regardeth their carcasses their stench shall ascend upward, and the mountains shall be melted through 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 all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a book: and all their host shall wither, as the leaf withereth from the vine, and as withering fruit 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 is sated in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people I have devoted to punishment.

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 is full of blood, it is enriched with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter 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 wild oxen shall sink down with them, and steers with bullocks; and their land shall be sated with blood, and their dust enriched with fat.

8 BOEIPA taengah phulohnah khohnin neh, Zion kah tuituknah te a sah kum khaw om.

For it is the day of vengeance unto the Lord, and the year of recompense for the controversy 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 brooks shall be changed into pitch, and its dust into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch.

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 shall it not be quenched; for ever shall ascend the smoke thereof: from generation to generation shall it lie waste; no one shall for ever and ever pass through it.

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.

But pelican and hedgehog shall take possession of it; night-owl also and raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out over it the line of destruction, and the weights of desolation.

12 A hlangcoelh rhoek khaw a ram ah hah a khueh uh vetih a mangpa rhoek khaw a honghi la boeih om ni.

Their nobles—no one is there they could call [to] the kingdom, and all its princes shall be no more.

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 shall spring up in its palaces, nettles and brambles in its fortresses: and it shall be a habitation of monsters, and a court for 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 the martens shall meet with the jackals, and one goat shall call to his fellow; only the screech-owl shall rest there, and find for herself a place of repose.

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.

There shall nestle the arrow-snake, and lay eggs, and hatch, and gather its young under its shadow: only vultures shall assemble there, every one with her mate.

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.

Inquire out of the book of the Lord, and read: not one of these shall be absent, not one shall miss her mate; for my mouth it is that hath ordained it, and its breath it is that hath 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 hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it out unto them by the measuring line: for ever shall they possess it, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
