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.
Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, —And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.
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 shall be—As the people, so, the priest, As the servant, so his lord, As the maid, so, her mistress, —As the buyer, so, the seller, As the lender, so, the borrower, As the debtor, so! his creditor.
3 Diklai he a hlaih, a hlaih vetih a poelyoe rhoela a poelyoe uh ni. Hekah ol he BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
Emptied—emptied—shall be the earth yea pillaged—pillaged, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken this word.
4 Diklai khaw nguekcoi neh tahah, lunglai khaw a thathae neh tahah, diklai pilnam kah a koevoeinah khaw a thathae bal.
Mourneth, fadeth, the earth Languisheth, fadeth, the world, —Languished have the lofty 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.
Yea the earth itself is profaned under them who dwell therein, —For they have Set aside laws, Gone beyond statute, Broken an age-abiding 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.
For this cause, a curse, hath devoured the earth, And punished are the dwellers therein, —For this cause, are burned the inhabitants of the earth, And the men left remaining—are few.
7 misur thai khaw nguekcoi tih misur kung huum, lungbuei ko aka hoe khaw boeih huei uh.
Mourneth the new wine. Withereth the vine, —Sighing are all the merryhearted:
8 Kamrhing kah omthennah khaw paa, yalpo rhoek kah longlonah khaw paa, rhotoeng kah omthennah khaw duem.
Ceased hath the mirth of timbrels, Ended is the noise of the uproarious, —Ceased hath the mirth of the lyre:
9 Laa te khaw misur neh yun uh voel pawh. A ok ham yu te khaw paeng coeng.
With a song, they drink not wine, —Bitter is strong drink, to them who drink it:
10 Hinghong khorha tah po tih kun thil ham im khaw boeih a khaih.
Broken down is the city of desolation, —Shut up every house that it cannot be entered.
11 Misurtui ham te kawtpoeng tom ah henah om, kohoenah loh boeih hmuep tih diklai omthennah khaw khum.
There is an outcry concerning wine in the streets, —Darkened is all joy, Departed the gladness of the earth.
12 Khopuei ah imsuep te a hlun tih vongka te a bungnah la a top.
There is left in the city. desolation, —And to ruins, have been broken the gate.
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 shall be in the earth in the midst of the peoples, [There shall be] like the shaking of an olive-tree, like the going round to pick when closed is the harvest.
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, shall lift up their voice—shall raise a tremulous note, —On account of the splendour of Yahweh, have they made a shrill cry, on the West;
15 Te dongah BOEIPA tah hmaipuei dongah, Israel Pathen Yahweh ming tah tuipuei sanglak ah thangpom uh.
For this cause, In the Regions of Light, give ye glory to Yahweh, —In the Coastlands of the Sea, unto the Name of Yahweh. 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 uttermost part of the earth, melodies, have we heard—Beauty, to the righteous one! But I had said—Ruin to me! Ruin to me! Woe to me! Traitors, have betrayed, Yea traitorously, have traitors betrayed!
17 Birhihnah neh rhom khaw, pael khaw diklai khosa nang ham khaw.
Terror and pit and snare, —are upon thee, 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.
So shall it be—He that fleeth from the sound of the terror! shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the midst of the pit, shall be captured in the snare, —For, the windows on high, have opened, And shaken are the foundations of earth.
19 Diklai khaw thae la thae coeng. Diklai he rhek la rhek coeng. Diklai he tuen la tuen coeng.
The earth breaketh, breaketh, —The earth crasheth, crasheth, The earth tottereth, tottereth;
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 staggereth—staggereth like a drunken man, And rocketh to and fro like a night-hut, —So shall be heavy upon her, her transgression, And she shall fall and not again 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 shall be in that day, That Yahweh will bring punishment Upon the host of the height in the height, —And upon the kings of the ground on the ground.
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 shall be swept together in a crowd, fettered for a pit, And shall be lowered into a dungeon, —And, after many days, shall they be punished.
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.
Then shall blush the silvery moon, Then turn pale the glowing sun, —Because Yahweh of hosts hath become king In Mount Zion And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders in glory,
