Isaiah 30
1 Anunae a cilsuep te saii hamla BOEIPA kah olphong soah thinthah camoe rhoek aih. Tedae kai lamkah neh mueirhoi a hloe moenih. Ka mueihla kah bal moenih. Te dongah tholh te tholh neh a khoengvoep.
Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin:
2 Pharaoh kah lunghim khuiah bakuep ham neh Egypt kah hlipkhup ah ying hamla Egypt aka suntlak thil tih aka cet rhoek loh kai kah olka he a dawt uh moenih.
Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Tedae Pharaoh kah lunghim te nangmih ham yahpohnah la, Egypt hlipkhup ah yingnah te khaw mingthae la poeh ni.
And the strength of Pharao shall be to your confusion, and the confidence of the shadow of Egypt to your shame.
4 A mangpa rhoek loh Zoan ah om uh tih a puencawn rhoek loh Hanes ham ben uh cakhaw,
For thy princes were in Tanis, and thy messengers came even to Hanes.
5 pilnam te a hoeikhang pah voel pawt tih bomkung la a om pawt neh a hoeikhang pawt dongah boeih a borhim vetih yah a bai ni. Te dongah yahpohnah neh kokhahnah la om bal ni.
They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
6 Citcai khohmuen kah tuithim rhamsa ham olrhuh, sathuengnu a la neh sathueng lamkah, rhulthae neh minyuk aka ding kongah khobing coeng. A khuehtawn te laak kah a nam ah, a thakvoh te kalauk phuu dongah aka phuei rhoek he pilnam ham a hoeikhang moenih.
The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
7 Egypt long khaw a honghi neh a poeyoek lam ni a bom. Te dongah amih te, “Hoeng hoep Rahab,” la ka khue coeng.
For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
8 Paan laeh, amih ham te cabael dongah daek lamtah, a cabu dongah tarhit pah laeh. Te daengah ni hmailong khohnin ham khaw, kumhal duela a om yoeyah eh.
Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.
9 Laithae koca rhoek kah a ca rhoek, boekoek pilnam aih he, BOEIPA kah olkhueng tah hnatun ham huem uh pawh.
For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children, children that will not hear the law of God.
10 Khohmu taengah, “Na hmuh pawt nim?” Tonghma rhoek taengah khaw kaimih ham oldueng na hmuh pawt nim?, phoknah na hmuh uh akhaw kaimih ham a hnal la thui uh.
Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us.
11 Longpuei lamloh nong uh, caehlong lamloh khoe uh. Israel kah a Cim te mamih mikhmuh lamloh kangkuen saeh,” a ti uh.
Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.
12 Te dongah Israel kah a cim loh, “Hekah olka he na sit uh. Hnaemtaeknah dongah na pangtung uh tih khohmang neh a soah na pangnal uh.
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and have trusted in oppression and tumult, and have leaned upon it:
13 Te dongah nangmih taengah tathaesainah he khaw vongtung dongah a puut loh a yam tih a cungku bangla ha om ni. Aka pomdoep uh khaw a pocinah lam ni buengrhuet a om pahoi mai.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth, and is found wanting in a high wall, for the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
14 Amsai loh tuitang kaek a dae banghui la rhek vetih lungma ti mahpawh. Hmai rhong dongkah hmai soh ham neh kangueng lamkah tui bak nah ham kangna khaw paikaek kah a kaek te hmu mahpawh.
And it shall be broken small, as the potter’s vessel is broken all to pieces with mighty breaking, and there shall not a sherd be found of the pieces thereof, wherein a little fire may be carried from the hearth, or a, little water be drawn out of the pit.
15 Te dongah ni Israel kah a cim ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Maelnah neh mongnah dongah a mong la n'khang coeng tih ueppangnah dongah na thayung thamal khaw om dae ta na ngaih uh pawh.
For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be. And you would not:
16 Te phoeiah, “Moenih, te ham te marhang dongah ka rhaelrham uh bitni,” na ti uh. Na rhaelrham uh vaengah, “Yanghoep la n'ngol uh,” na ti uh dongah nangmih aka hloem rhoek khaw yanghoep uh van ni.
But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.
17 Tlang lu kah cungkui bangla, som sokah rholik bangla na cul uh hil pakhat kah tluungnah dongah, panga kah tluungnah dongah khaw thawng khat la na rhaelrham uh ni.
A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of a ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.
18 Tedae BOEIPA loh nangmih rhen ham n'rhingda tangloeng tih nangmih aka haidam la pomsang uh tangkhuet. Tiktamnah Pathen Yahovah amah te aka rhingda boeih tah a yoethen.
Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Jerusalem kah khosa Zion pilnam aw na rhap rhoe na rhap voel mahpawh. Na pang ol te a yaak vaengah n'rhen rhoe, n'rhen vetih nang te n'doo ni.
For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shell hear, he will answer thee.
20 Boeipa loh nang te rhal kah buh neh hnaemtaeknah tui m'pae cakhaw na saya rhoek te khaw khoe mahpawh. Tedae na saya aka hmu rhoek te na mik ah om bitni.
And the Lord will give you spare bread, and short water: and will not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes shall see thy teacher.
21 Na hnuk lamkah ol loh, “Longpuei he bantang ah khaw, banvoei ah khaw cet mailai,” a ti te na hna loh a yaak bitni.
And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
22 Na cak ben mueidaep neh, na sui mueihloe pholip khaw na poeih ni. Te rhoek te na pumthim hainak bangla thaek uh vetih, “Acih hoeih,” na ti ni.
And thou shalt defile the plates of thy graven things of silver, and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get thee hence.
23 Te vaengah khohmuen kah na tuh na cangti te khotlan loh a suep ni. Khohmuen kah cangpai buh neh kuirhang la na om ni. Tekah khohnin ah tah rhamtlim dangka ah na boiva loh pulpulh luem ni.
And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy possession:
24 Diklai kah aka tho aka tat saelhung neh laak pataeng cangcopcung neh, rha neh a hlaih canghlaih, kamvuelh ni a caak eh.
And thy oxen, and the ass colts that till the ground, shall eat mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.
25 Tlang sang tom ah khaw, som tom ah khaw ana om saeh. Rhaltoengim a cungku ham vaengkah ngawnnah a len khohnin ah sokca rhahlawn tui loh phul coeng.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower shall fall.
26 Hla kah a vang te khomik kah a vang bangla om ni. Khomik kah a vang khaw khohnin hnin rhih kah a vang bangla a pueh parhih la om ni. BOEIPA long tah a pilnam kah a tlawt te a poi pah tih a hmapuei hmasoe khaw a hoeih sak.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound.
27 BOEIPA kah a ming tah khohla bangsang lamkah a thintoek aka ung khui lamkah ha thoeng coeng ke. A hmuilai kah kosi hmaihu te a thah la baetawt tih a ol khaw hmai bangla tak.
Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.
28 A hil khaw rhawn duela a muelh tih aka yo soklong la, namtom te poeyoek khamyai ah vairhuek la, pilnam kam dongkah a hmaang kamrhui la.
His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
29 Laa khaw nangmih taengah tah khotue a ciim hlaem kah bangla om vetih, BOEIPA tlang kah Israel lungpang paan hamla phitphoet neh aka thoeih bangla thinko kah kohoenah khaw om ni.
You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.
30 A ol mueithennah te BOEIPA loh n'yaak sak vetih, hmaihluei aka hlawp rhonam, hlipuei neh rhaelnu lungto, thintoek thinkoeh dongah a ban loh a mong la m'hmuh sak ni.
And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the dame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones.
31 BOEIPA ol loh Assyria te a rhihyawp sak vetih, mancai neh a ngawn ni.
For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod.
32 BOEIPA loh a ning a hol pah vaengah a pum dongkah kamrhing te khaw, rhotoeng khaw caitueng kah lamkai la boeih a poeh pah. Te vaengah caemtloek kah thueng hmueih loh amih te a vathoh thil ni.
And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall over throw them.
33 Tophet khaw hlaemvai lamkah ni rhong a pai thil coeng. Te khaw manghai ham a soepsoei pah rhoe. A hlanhmai te a dung a ka sak tih hmai te khaw thing muep a hueng thil. BOEIPA kah a hiil loh kat hmai soklong bangla te te a dom.
For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.
