Isaiah 32
1 Manghai tah duengnah neh manghai vetih mangpa rhoek loh a tiktam la boei uh ni.
Look, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
2 Te vaengah tah khohli vaengkah congket conglong neh hlipuei vaengkah a huephael bangla, rhamrhae kah sokca tui bangla, buhmueh rhathih khohmuen kah thaelpang puei kah hlipkhup bangla boeih om ni.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a land of weariness.
3 Aka hmu rhoek loh a mik buem uh voel pawt vetih aka ya kah a hna long khaw hnatung uh pawn ni.
Then the eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will hear attentively.
4 Thinko aka loe long khaw ming hamla a yakming ni. Ol khol khaw a loe la puk cal ni.
The rash will think carefully with understanding, and the stutterer will speak distinctly and with ease.
5 Hlang ang te hlangcong la khue voel pawt vetih ngukngak te hlang rhoeikhang ti nah mahpawh.
The fool will no longer be called honorable, nor the deceiver called principled.
6 Lailak la saii ham neh BOEIPA te rholrhaknah thui ham, akaang loh boethaehalang a thui tih a lungbuei kah boethae a saii. Hlang kah hinglu te bungpong la a kaeng tih tuihalh khaw tui-ok loh a vaitah sak.
For the fool speaks folly, and his heart plans evil and godless actions, and he speaks wrongly against Yahweh. He makes the hungry empty, and the thirsty he causes to lack drink.
7 Ngukngak loh a boethae hnopai te khonuen rhamtat la a khueh tih, khodaeng loh tiktam a thui vaengah pataeng kodo mangdaeng te a honghi ol neh vueinan hamla caai.
The deceiver's methods are evil. He devises wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when the poor say what is right.
8 Tedae hlangcong long tah moeihoeihnah neh a uen tih moeihoeihnah neh pai van.
But the honorable man makes honorable plans; and because of his honorable actions he will stand.
9 Mongkawt nu rhoek thoo uh lamtah ka ol hnatun uh. Palyal tanu rhoek ka olthui he hnakaeng uh lah.
Rise up, you women who are at ease, and listen to my voice; you carefree daughters, listen to me.
10 Palyal rhoek te kum at hnin at ah na tlai uh bitni. Misurbit loh n'khah vetih cangah khaw pha mahpawh.
For in a little more than a year your confidence will be broken, you carefree women, for the grape harvest will fail, the ingathering will not come.
11 Mongkawt nu te lakueng saeh, palyal nu rhoek khaw tlai uh saeh. Hni te pit saeh lamtah a yal la a pumpu te vah saeh.
Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you confident ones; take off your fine clothes and make yourselves bare; put on sackcloth around your waists.
12 Naidoeh lohma ham neh misur thaihsu ham te rhangsuk mah rhaengsae laeh.
You will wail for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines.
13 Hling neh lota he ka pilnam kah hmuenlung ham a yam pah coeng tih, khorha kah omthennah dongah aka yalpo imkhui boeih ham pai ni.
The land of my people will be overgrown with thorns and briers, even in all the once joyful houses in the city of revelry.
14 Impuei te a phap vetih khopuei a lilup khaw a hnoo ni. Molpuei neh rhaltawt imsang te kohong marhang kah a omthennah neh tuping uemnah la poeh vetih kumhal due lungtokhui la om ni.
For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city will be deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become caves forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
15 Hmuensang lamkah Mueihla te mamih soah han kingling vaengah tah khosoek khaw cangphil cangngol la poeh tih khoham cangphil cangngol bangla a poek.
until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered as a forest.
16 Te vaengah tah khosoek ah tiktamnah loh kho a sak vetih, duengnah loh cangphil cangngol te a om thil ni.
Then justice will reside in the wilderness; and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
17 Duengnah kah a khoboe tah rhoepnah la, duengnah kah thohtatnah tah kumhal due mong vetih ngaikhuek la om ni.
The work of righteousness will be peace; and the result of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Ka pilnam long tah rhoepnah tolkhoeng neh pangtungnah tolhmuen ah duemnah neh a mongkawt la kho a sak ni.
My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in secure homes, and in quiet resting places.
19 Te dongah duup khaw rhael aka bo loh a hnaa vetih khopuei khaw tlarhoelnah la kunyun ni.
But even if it hails and the forest is destroyed, and the city is completely annihilated,
20 Te dae tui kaeng te boeih aka tawn tih vaito neh laak kho neh aka tluek rhoek tah na yoethen uh.
you who sow beside all the streams will be blessed, you who send out your ox and donkey to graze.
