Isaiah 22
1 Kolrhawk ham olrhuh, na imphu tom ah na yoeng thil na taengkah olphong te melae?
The burden of the valley of vision. What disturbs you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops?
2 Pang ol loh khopuei ah a bae la khorha te hue a sak thil. Na rhok neh aka yalpo te cunghang kah a ngawn pawt tih caemtloek kah a duek sak moenih a?
You that are full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3 Na rhalboei rhoek te lii om kolla rhenten boeih yong uh coeng. Nang aka hmu rhoek te boeih a khih uh coeng. Khohla kah aka yong rhoek te rhenten a khih uh coeng.
All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in you are bound together, which have fled from far.
4 Te dongah, “Kai taeng lamloh mangthong uh laeh. Rhah nen khaw ka phaep uh mai eh. Ka pilnam tanu kah rhoelrhanah dongah kai hloep hamla taholh uh thae boeh.
Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taengkah soekloeknah, tilnoinah neh tingtongnah khohnin, kolrhawk kah olphong dongah tah pangbueng te a phuet tih tlang te a o.
For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
6 Elam loh liva neh marhang caem hlang leng hang khuen tih Kir loh photling a dul.
And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Na tuikol hmuennaep aka om khaw leng loh a baetawt thil marhang caem loh vongka ah tawn la tawn uh coeng.
And it shall come to pass, that your best valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 Judah kah himbaiyan te a lim coeng. Tekah khohnin ah duup im kah lungpok haica te na paelki coeng.
And he discovered the covering of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
9 David khopuei kah a ueth hma na hmuh te yet coeng dae tuibuem dang kah tui te na coi.
All of you have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and all of you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Jerusalem kah im te khaw na tae uh tih vongtung na tuung ham im te na phil uh.
And all of you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have all of you broken down to fortify the wall.
11 Tuibuem rhuem kah tui ham te vongtung laklo ah tui-im na saii uh. Tedae te aka saii te na paelki uh pawh. Te aka hlinsai daengrhae te na hmu uh pawh.
All of you made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but all of you have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
12 Rhah ham neh rhaengsae ham khaw, lungawng la tlamhni yil ham khaw tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah a khue coeng.
And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13 Saelhung top ham neh boiva ngawn ham, maeh caak ham neh misurtui ok ham tah omngaihnah neh kohoenah la, “Ca sih lamtah o sih, thangvuen kah ham tah n'duek uh hae pawn ni he,” na tiuh.
And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; in order to morrow we shall die.
14 caempuei BOEIPA loh ka hna dongah han dueh coeng. Nangmih kah thaesainah he na duek uh duela han dawth mahpawh. Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh a thui coeng.
And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till all of you die, says the Lord GOD of hosts.
15 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah im kah hmaiben lah Shebna te paan laeh.
Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get you unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
16 Nang taengkah he balae? Na taengkah he u bang nim? Namah ham tah he ah he phuel na vueh tih, anih kah phuel tah hmuensang ah na vueh pah aih. Anih ham tah pohmuen khaw thaelpang dongah na tarhit pah.
What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed you out a tomb here, as he that hews him out a tomb on high, and that graves an habitation for himself in a rock?
17 BOEIPA tah nang aka hut tih hlang aka hlak neh nang aka buem la aka buem ham om coeng.
Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you.
18 Nang te palung hluem bangla n'kolong la, n'kolong ni. Khohmuen kah khocaeh dangka ah hnap na duek vetih na thangpomnah leng neh na boeipa kah im te yahpohnah om ni.
He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your lord's house.
19 Nang te na rhaltawt hmuen lamloh kan thaek vetih na ngolhmuen lamloh nang kan koengloeng ni.
And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
20 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Hilkiah capa Eliakim te ka sal la ka khue ni.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21 Na angkidung te anih ka bai sak vetih na lamko neh anih ka talong ni. Na khohung te anih kut dongah ka paek vetih Jerusalem kah khosa ham neh Judah imkhui kah a napa la om ni.
And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 David im kah cabi te anih kah laengpang dongah ka paek ni. A ong vetih kalh voel mahpawh, a khaih coeng te tah ong uh mahpawh.
And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 Anih te hmuen cak ah ciphuem neh ka khing vetih a napa im ham thangpomnah ngolkhoel la om ni.
And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 A napa im kah thangpomnah boeih, cadil cahma neh a rhuirhong, hnopai a dikhnawn boeih, baeldung neh umam, tuitang neh baelyak boeih te anih a oi sak ni.
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 Te khohnin ah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong loh, amah hmuen ah khak a khing hlingcong tah phoek pawn ni. Tlawt bal vetih colh pawn ni. Te vaengah a pum dongkah hnorhih a hal ni. BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken it.
