Isaiah 33
1 Anunae aka rhoelrhak khaw na rhoelrhak yoe mahpawh, hnukpoh khaw a taengah hnukpoh yoe mahpawh. Na rhoelrhak bawt ah namah n'rhoelrhak ni, na hnukpoh bawt ah namah te n'hnukpoh thil uh van ni.
Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed, and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 BOEIPA kaimih he n'rhen lah, namah ni kan lamtawn uh. Mincang ah a bantha la, citcai tue vaengah kaimih ham khangnah la ha om lah.
LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Hlangping ol ah pilnam rhoek loh yong uh tih, na thoh vaengah namtom khaw haeh uh.
At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 Na kutbuem te cangah kah phol bangla kol ni. Kaisih cungpet bangla cu ni.
Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 BOEIPA tah hmuensang la kho a sak dongah pomdoep rhoe pai saeh. Zion tah tiktamnah, duengnah neh a baetawt sak.
The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Namah tue vaengkah khangnah khohrhang, cueihnah he uepomnah la om vetih BOEIPA hinyahnah neh mingnah te a thakvoh la om ni.
There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
7 Thinom te kawtpoeng ah a doek uh tih rhoepnah puencawn rhoek khaw bungbung rhap uh coeng ke.
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Longpuei rhoek khaw pong uh tih caehlong kah aka pongpa khaw kangkuen. Paipi te a phae tih khopuei rhoek te a sawtsit tih hlanghing la toeksap pawh.
The highways are desolate. The travelling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9 Khohmuen a tahah te a nguekcoi thil. Lebanon khaw tal tih tloih coeng. Sharon te a kolken bangla om coeng tih Bashan neh Karmel khaw congpet coeng.
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 BOEIPA loh, “Ka thoo pawn ni, ka pomsang uh pawn ni, ka pacuet uh pawn ni,” a ti.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 Diphung la na vawn uh tih divawt na cun uh. Na hil dongkah hmai loh namah n'hlawp coeng.
You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 Pilnam te tihkoi lungbok bangla om uh vetih, hling a vung bangla hmai neh a hlup uh ni.
The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burnt in the fire.
13 Ka saii te khohla loh ya pai lamtah ka thayung thamal he a yoei loh ming uh pai.
Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14 Hlangtholh rhoek tah Zion ah rhi uh tih lailak rhoek loh thuennah a buem uh. Mamih khuiah hmai kah a hlawp la aka bakuep te unim? Kumhal hmaingen la mamih khuiah aka bakuep te unim?
The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who amongst us can live with the devouring fire? Who amongst us can live with everlasting burning?
15 Duengnah dongah aka pongpa tih vanat la aka thui, tlungalnah te mueluemnah ham aka tuei, kapbaih aka duen taeng lamloh a kut aka khong, thii long aka yaak ngaih taeng lamloh a hna aka buem, boethae aka hmu lamkah a mik aka him,
He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16 anih tah hmuensang ah kho a sak vetih, rhalmahim thaelpang a imsang la om ni. A buh loh a khut vetih a tui loh a tangnah ni.
he will dwell on high. His place of defence will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 Manghai kah a sakthen te na mik loh a hmuh khohla bangsang kho te khaw a hmuh ni.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18 Cadaek te ta? hno aka thuek te melae? rhaltoengim aka toek te melae? tila na lungbuei loh mueirhih te a thuep ni.
Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 Pilnam aka saan te na hmu voel mahpawh. Pilnam kah ol khuet neh tamdaeng ol n'yakmingnah pawt te khaw ya voel mahpawh.
You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20 Mamih kah tingtunnah khorha Zion ke so lah. Na mik loh mongkawt tolkhoeng Jerusalem te a hmuh bitni. Dap te puen pawt vetih a hlingcong khaw a yoeyah la phong mahpawh. A rhuihet te pakhat pataeng pat mahpawh.
Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 Aka khuet BOEIPA tah mamih ham a kut aka dangka sak sokko tuiva hmuen la om pahoi coeng. A soah lawngkaih kah sangpho khaw cet pawt vetih timbaw aka khuet khaw kat mahpawh.
But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 BOEIPA loh mamih kah lai aka tloek tih, BOEIPA tah mamih aka taem la om. Mamih kah manghai BOEIPA, amah long ni mamih n'khang eh.
For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will save us.
23 Na rhuihet te hlong tih a cungkui yung khaw a kueng voel pawt dongah a rholik khaw a ku uh moenih. Te dongah kutbuem maeh te a tael ni. Khokhaem rhoek khaw puh vetih maeh te a poelyoe uh ni.
Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 Imben loh, “Ka tlo,” ti mahpawh. A khuikah pilnam khosa khaw thaesainah a phueih pah coeng.
The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
