Isaiah 24
1 BOEIPA loh diklai a hlaih tih a pong sak coeng ke. Te dongah a maelhmai a paihaeh sak vetih khosa rhoek khaw a taekyak pah ni.
Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
2 Te vaengah khosoih taengah khaw pilnam taengkah bangla, a boeipa taengah khaw sal taengkah bangla, boeinu taengah khaw salnu bangla, aka yoi taengah aka lai taengkah bangla, puhlah taengah purhong bangla, laibai aka suk taengah khaw laiba aka sah taengkah bangla a om pah ni.
And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 Diklai he a hlaih, a hlaih vetih a poelyoe rhoela a poelyoe uh ni. Hekah ol he BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
4 Diklai khaw nguekcoi neh tahah, lunglai khaw a thathae neh tahah, diklai pilnam kah a koevoeinah khaw a thathae bal.
The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
5 Diklai he a khuikah khosa rhoek kongah poeih uh coeng. Olkhueng te a poe uh, oltlueh te a hoilae uh tih, khosuen paipi te a phae uh.
And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
6 Te dongah thaephoeinah loh diklai a yoop tih a khuikah khosa rhoek khaw boe uh coeng. Te dongah diklai khosa rhoek tah sai uh tih hlanghing khaw a yolkai ni a sueng coeng.
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
7 misur thai khaw nguekcoi tih misur kung huum, lungbuei ko aka hoe khaw boeih huei uh.
The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
8 Kamrhing kah omthennah khaw paa, yalpo rhoek kah longlonah khaw paa, rhotoeng kah omthennah khaw duem.
The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
9 Laa te khaw misur neh yun uh voel pawh. A ok ham yu te khaw paeng coeng.
They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
10 Hinghong khorha tah po tih kun thil ham im khaw boeih a khaih.
It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
11 Misurtui ham te kawtpoeng tom ah henah om, kohoenah loh boeih hmuep tih diklai omthennah khaw khum.
In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
12 Khopuei ah imsuep te a hlun tih vongka te a bungnah la a top.
Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
13 Te dongah diklai laklo ah khaw, pilnam laklo ah khaw olive a hae vaengkah bangla, misurbit a thok daengkah a yoep bangla om ni.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
14 Amih te a ol a huel uh tih BOEIPA kah hoemdamnah te a tamhoe puei uh. Te vaengah tuipuei lamkah khaw a hlampan puei uh.
They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 Te dongah BOEIPA tah hmaipuei dongah, Israel Pathen Yahweh ming tah tuipuei sanglak ah thangpom uh.
Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
16 Diklai khobawt lamkah kirhang hlangdueng laa te n'yaak uh coeng. Tedae, “Kai taengkah sakboeihnah, kai taengkah sakboeihnah aih. Anunae kamah taengah hnukpoh khaw hnukpoh uh mai. Hnukpoh te hnukpoh rhoek loh a hnukpoh thil uh,” ka ti.
From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Birhihnah neh rhom khaw, pael khaw diklai khosa nang ham khaw.
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Birhihnah ol ah rhaelrham vetih rhom ah aka cungku khaw om ni. Rhom khui lamkah aka coe khaw pael neh a boh ni. Hmuensang lamkah bangbuet khaw ong uh tih diklai khaw a yung hoep.
And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Diklai khaw thae la thae coeng. Diklai he rhek la rhek coeng. Diklai he tuen la tuen coeng.
The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
20 Diklai he yurhui bangla vikvuek la vikvuek uh tih tlak bangla rhaehba sut. A boekoek loh amah a nan tih a cungku vaengah koep thoo mahpawh.
The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
21 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah BOEIPA loh hmuensang kah hmuensang caempuei te khaw khaw, diklai ah diklai manghai rhoek te khaw a hip ni.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Tangrhom khuikah hlongkhoh te hlop at la a coi uh vetih rhomhmop ah a khoh uh ni. Tedae khohnin muep a koe phoeiah ni a cawh eh.
And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
23 Hla khaw a maelhmai tal vetih kholing khaw yaai ni. Zion tlang sokah Jerusalem neh amah kah thangpomnah te patong rhoek hmaiah caempuei BOEIPA te manghai ni.
And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
