< Isaiah 27 >
1 Tekah khohnin ah tah BOEIPA loh a cunghang aka ning tih aka len neh aka tlungluen neh Leviathan rhul aka yingyet khaw, Leviathan rhul kawl khaw a cawh ni. Te vaengah tuipuei kah tuihnam te khaw a ngawn ni.
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 Tekah khohnin ah tah naidoeh misurdum te doo laeh.
In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
3 BOEIPA kamah loh te ka kueinah tih mikhaptok ah ka suep. Te te khoyin loh cawh ve ka ti dongah khothaih ah ka kueinah.
I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Kosi he kai taengah om pawh. Caemtloek vaengkah lota hling kai taengah aka pae te unim? Te te cuk thil vetih rhenten ka hlup mako.
Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
5 Te cakhaw ka lunghim te hangdang thil saeh lamtah kamah taengah rhoepnah saii saeh, kamah taengah rhoepnah saii saeh.
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
6 A yung a hlak tue a pha vaengah Jakob te khooi ni. Te vaengah Israel khaw saihnim vetih a thaih loh lunglai ah baetawt ni.
In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Hmasoe banglam nim anih te a boh khaw a boh aih? Ngawnnah banglam nim a ngawn khaw a ngawn aih.
Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
8 A rhimong la tueih ham na mah coeng. A hil neh khothaih kanghawn bangla khak a haek.
In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Te dongah he nen ni Jakob kathaesainah a dawth pah vetih a tholh kah a thaih boeih he a khoe pa eh. Te vaengah hmueihtuk kah lungto boeih te lungbok lung bangla a khueh ni. Asherah neh bunglawn a dae pah vetih te thoo voel mahpawh.
Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
10 Khopuei cakrhuet tolkhoeng bueng te a hlah tih, khosoek bangla a hnoo. Vaito ca loh hnap a luem thil tih pahoi a kol thil vaengah tah a boe khaw a thok sak.
For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 A vuei aka rhae he a khaem uh. Huta ha pawk vaengah te a tok uh dae pilnam kah yakmingnah om pawh. Te dongah anih aka saii loh anih a haidam tih anih aka saii loh anih te rhen pawh.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah tuiva lamloh Egypt soklong duela cangmo te BOEIPA loh a boh ni. Nangmih Israel ca rhoek te pakhat phoeiah pakhat n'yoep ni.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah tuki a len te a ueng vetih Assyria khohmuen ah aka milh khaw ha pawk uh ni. Egypt kho kah a heh rhoek loh Jerusalem kah tlang cim dongah BOEIPA a bawk uh ni.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
