Isaiah 10
1 Anunae boethae oltlueh a tarhit tih, a daek khaw thakthaenah ni a daek uh.
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write iniquity;
2 tattloel kah dumlai te aka phaelh sak ham neh ka pilnam mangdaeng kah laitloeknah aka rhawth la om. Te dongah nuhmai te a kutbuem la a poeh sak tih cadah te a poelyoe uh.
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 Cawhtnah tue vaengah balae na saii vetih khohla bangsang lamkah khohli rhamrhael ha pawk vaengah u taengah lae na rhaelrham eh? Bomnah ham neh na thangpomnah te melam na hnoo eh?
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
4 Hlongkhoh lakli ah a koisu vetih a ngawn yueng la a cungku sak ham phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
They can do nought except crouch under the captives, and fall under the slain. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
5 Anunae Assyria aih, ka thintoek caitueng neh a kut dongkah a conghol khaw kai kah kosi lamni a om.
O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger, in whose hand as a staff is Mine indignation!
6 Anih te namtom lailak taengah, ka thinpom te pilnam taengah ka tueih. Kutbuem buem ham neh maeh poelyoe ham khaw anih tih ka uen coeng. Te dongah anih te a dueh a dueh tih vongvoel kah dikpo bangla cawtkoi la om ni.
I do send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath do I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Tedae a lutlat toengloeng moenih a he, a thinko loh a moeh te khaw a thinko neh mitmoeng sak ham moenih a? Te dongah namtom a phit ham te a yolkai mai moenih.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Ka mangpa ke manghai boeiloeih moenih a?
For he saith: 'Are not my princes all of them kings?
9 Kalneh Karkhemish bang moenih a? Khamath Arpad bang moenih a? Samaria Damasku bang moenih a?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Jerusalem lakah khaw, Samaria lakah ah khaw ka loh kut amih kah mueirhol neh mueidaep ram te a puei vanbangla,
As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did exceed them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Samaria neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van mahpawt a? Te dongah Jerusalem neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van ni.
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?'
12 Tedae Zion tlang neh Jerusalem taengkah a bibi boeih te Boeipa loh mueluem a khueh vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah thinko mamlal thaih te khaw, a mik dongkah buhuengpomnah boeimang te khaw ka cawh ni.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.
13 Ka kut dongkah thadueng neh ka saii coeng tih ka cueihnah neh ka yakming dongah pilnam kah rhilung khaw ka thoeih coeng. A coekcoe la khohrhang rheth pah tih a lueng la kho aka sa te ka suntlak sak coeng.
For he hath said: by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I am prudent; in that I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and have brought down as one mighty the inhabitants;
14 Pilnam kah thadueng te ka kut dongkah vaa bu bangla a hmuh tih, diklai pum kah a hnoo vaa duei a coi bangla kamah loh ka coi. Te vaengah a phae aka khong neh a ka aka ang tih aka cip om pawh,” a ti.
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
15 Hai loh amah neh aka daeh soah kohang uh vetih, hlawh loh amah aka pom te thangpom thil saeh a? Conghol loh amah aka thueng te thing pawt mai akhaw conghol bangla thueng saeh a?
Should the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Should the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if a rod should move them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up him that is not wood.
16 Te dongah caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a putsut te pawtrhawt la, a thangpomnah khaw hmaisai bangla a rhong pah ni.
Therefore will the Lord, the LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
17 Israel kah vangnah te hmai la, amah kah a cimcaih te hmaisai la poeh ni. Te vaengah a hling neh a lota te a dom vetih hnin at dongah a tlum sak ni.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 A duup kah a thangpomnah khaw, a hinglu lamkah a cangthai khaw pumsa duela a thok sak ni. Te vaengah aka ngoi loh a paci bangla anih te om ni.
And the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, he will consume both soul and body; and it shall be as when a sick man wasteth away.
19 A duup kah thing aka sueng te a yol tah camoe kah a tae la om rhung ni.
And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them down.
20 Te khohnin a pha vaengah Israel aka sueng khaw thap voel pawt vetih Jakob imkhui kah aka rhalyong long khaw amah aka ngawn soah hangdang voel mahpawh. Tedae Israel kah BOEIPA cim dongah ni oltak la a hangdang eh.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Aka sueng la, Jakob ko kah aka sueng te tah hlangrhalh Pathen taengla mael ni.
A remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto God the Mighty.
22 Na pilnam Israel he tuipuei laivin bangla aka sueng om cakhaw khahoeinah a hlavawt tih duengnah loh a yo hlang tah mael ni.
For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them shall return; an extermination is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 A boeihnah dongah caempuei, ka Boeipa Yahovah aka hlavawt tah diklai pum kah a laklung ah a saii van ni.
For an extermination wholly determined shall the Lord, the GOD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
24 Te dongah Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh, “Zion kah khosa ka pilnam loh Egypt khoboe bangla cungcik neh nang aka taam tih a conghol neh nang aka vuek Assyria te rhih boeh.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts: O My people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Tedae kolkalh rhuet ah ka kosi neh ka thintoek loh a khah vetih amamih kah tlumhmawnnah la om bitni.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and Mine anger shall be to their destruction.
26 Oreb lungpang kah Midian te rhuihet neh a hmasoe sak bangla, caempuei BOEIPA loh anih te a haenghang thil ni. Te vaengah Egypt khoboe bangla a conghol te tuipuei soah a thueng bal ni.
And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb; and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Te khohnin a pha vaengah na laengpang dongkah a hnorhih neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun han sawn vetih hnamkun te situi loh a pat sak ni.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.
28 Anih Ai la pawk tih Migron te a poeng tih Mikmash ah amah kah hnopai te a hal.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmas he layeth up his baggage;
29 Lamkai a paan uh vaengah mamih kah rhaehim Geba tah lakueng coeng. Saul kah Gibeah Ramah khaw rhaelrham coeng.
They are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeath-shaul is fled.
30 Gallim nu loh na ol hlampan saeh, Anathoth mangdaeng te Laish loh hnatung saeh.
Cry thou with a shrill voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! O thou poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah khaw yong coeng, Gebim khosa rhoek khaw bakuep coeng.
Madmenah is in mad flight; the inhabitants of Gebim flee to cover.
32 Nob ah hnin at duem hamla Zion nu kah tlang neh Jerusalem som ah a kut a thueng ni.
This very day shall he halt at Nob, shaking his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a rhimom neh thingsam te a doi tih a sang la aka pomsang te khaw a vung coeng dongah aka sang rhoek tah kunyun uh ni.
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be laid low.
34 Duup khocak te thi neh a hum vetih Lebanon kah aka khuet te khaw cungku ni.
And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
