Isaiah 10
1 Vonhlamrinci hoi kaawm naw rektap nahanelah thoseh,
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 ka taminaw thung dawk e ka mathoenaw ni a coe awh hane kawi hah lawp hanelah thoseh, lahmainunaw rektap hane, naranaw e hnopai lawp hanelah kalanhoehe lah lawk katâtuengkung, caretkacailah ca kathutkungnaw, nangmouh teh na yawthoe awh.
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 Runae na kâhmo hane hnin, rawknae ahlanae koehoi a tho navah, na kabawm hanelah, api koe maw na yawng awh han. Na hnopai tawnta e naw teh namamouh ni na pâtung awh han.
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Taran tuknae koe na due awh han, hoehpawiteh, san lah na hrawi awh han. Hatei, a lungkhueknae teh roum hoeh, a kut teh pou a dâw rah.
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 Aya! Assiria teh ka lungkhueknae bongpai lah ao. Ahni ni a patuep e sonron teh, runae ka poe nahanelah ao.
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
6 Cathut banglah ka ngâi hoeh naw onae koe ahni hah ka patoun. Ka lungkhueknae ka khang hane taminaw hah a lawp vaiteh, a raphoe vaiteh, lam dawk e tangdong patetlah a coungroe nahanlah lawk ka thui han.
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Hatei, ahni teh, amae a lung thung vah, alouke pouknae hoi alouke ngainae a tawn. Ahni ni raphoenae hoi miphun moikapap hah thei hanelah a ngainae ao.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 Ahni ni hettelah a dei: Kaie ransabawinaw teh siangpahrangnaw nahoehmaw.
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Kalno kho teh Kakhemish kho patetlah Hamath kho teh Arpad kho patetlah nahoehmaw, Samaria kho teh Damaskas kho patetlah nahoehmaw ao vaw.
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Samaria meikaphawk hoi Jerusalem meikaphawk ka talue e meikaphawk ka bawk e uknaeramnaw hah ka lawp e patetlah thoseh,
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Samaria kho hoi a meikaphawknaw koe ka sak e patetlah thoseh, Jerusalem hoi ahnie meikaphawknaw koe ka sak han nahoehmaw.
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Hatei, BAWIPA ni Zion mon hoi Jerusalem vah thaw a cum hnukkhu, Assiria siangpahrang e a lungthin hoi a kâoupnae hoi, a mit hoi a kâlennae dawkvah, runae ka poe han.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 Hote siangpahrang ni, kai teh kama e kut thao thasainae hoi, ka lungangnae hoi ka panue thai. Taminaw e khorinaw hah ka tahruet pouh toe. Ahnimae hnopai pueng ka lawp toe. Siangpahrangnaw hah maitotan patetlah beng ka sawn toe.
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14 Ka kut ni tava tabu a kasum e patetlah ahnimae hnopainaw teh ka kasum pouh toe. A ceitakhai e tava tadui ka lae patetlah talai hno kaawm e pueng hah ka la toe. Apihai a rathei kâhuen sak hoeh. A pahni ang hoeh. Cairing hoeh ati.
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 Bongpai ni tami tawm hoeh, tami ni doeh a sonron a tawm e patetlah Cakâ ni ka hno kung lathueng a kâoup thai maw. Hlaw ni ka hno kung koe a kâoup kawi na maw.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
16 Hatdawkvah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni, kingking kaboumlah ka cat ka net e siangpahrang koe, pheng kamsoenae hah a patoun pouh han. A bawilennae rahim vah, hmai ka kang e patetlah a kak han.
Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Armies, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 Isarelnaw e angnae teh hmai lah ao han. Kathounge Cathut teh hmaipalai lah ao han. Hnin touh hoiyah, ahnimae pâkhing buruk hoi rapan pueng teh mueng ka yawng lah a kak han.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 BAWIPA ni, ratu bawilennae hoi, caticamu a pawnae laikawk bawilennae hai a raphoe pouh han. A tak hoi muitha hai a tha baw vaiteh, ka ngouk e patetlah ao han.
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
19 Camo ni a touk thai nahanelah, ratu youn touh a cawi han.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 Hat hnin toteh, runae ka hlout ni teh kacawie Isarelnaw hoi Jakop imthungnaw teh, amamouh karektapkungnaw koe bout kâuep awh toung laipalah, Isarelnaw e Kathounge BAWIPA koe atangcalah a kâuep awh han.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Yhwh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Kacawiraenaw bout a ban awh han. Jakop miphun dawk kacawiraenaw teh, athakaawme Cathut koe bout a ban awh han.
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Oe Isarelnaw, nange taminaw teh, tuipui rai e sadi yit touh ka phat ei nakunghai, kacawie naw duengdoeh bout ka ban awh han. Rawknae teh sut hmoun e lah ao dawkvah, lannae lahoi ahnimouh teh a ramuk han.
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 Rasahu Bawipa Jehovah ni, talai van lungui vah a hmoun tangcoung e runae teh a sak han.
For the Lord Yhwh of Armies shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Hatdawkvah, ka Bawipa ransabawi Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Oe ka taminaw, Zion vah kaawm e naw, Assiria siangpahrang hah taket awh hanh. Izip siangpahrang ni a sak e patetlah ahnie bongpai hoi sonron hoi na hem awh han.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Hatei, ahnimouh rawknae koe a pha e lahoi, dongdeng ca dawk ka lungkhueknae teh a roum han.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 Rasahu BAWIPA ni Oreb lungsong teng Midiannaw a hem e patetlah thoseh, tuipui van sonron dâw e patetlah thoseh, Izipnaw koe a sak e patetlah thoseh, ahnimanaw hah a hem han.
And Yhwh of Armies shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Hatnae hnin dawkvah, ahnie hnokari teh na loung dawk hoi thoseh, na lahuen dawk hoi thoseh takhoe lah ao han. Thâwnae kecu dawk na lahuen dawk e yawcu teh a rek han.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 Aiath kho dawk a pha toe. Migron a tapoung toe. Mikmash kho vah hnopainaw teh a ta awh toe.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
29 Sanengnaw a tapuet awh toe. Geba kho vah a tungpup awh toe. Ramah kho teh a taki toe. Sawl onae Gibeah kho teh a yawng toe.
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Oe Gallim canu, hramki haw. Oe Laish kho na hnâpakeng haw. Anathoth kho a temdeng toe.
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah kho teh a kampuen toe. Gebim khocanaw teh hloutnae koe a yawng awh toe.
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 Nob kho vah sahnin ao awh teh, Zion canu e mon lah kaawm e Jerusalem mon hah, a kut hoi a kahuet han.
As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Rasahu Bawipa Jehovah ni thingkangnaw rabat e patetlah takikathopounge bahu hoi, a kangnaw hah bouk vaiteh, ka rasang e a kangnaw hah reprep a satut han.
Behold, the Lord, Yhwh of Armies, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 Ratu kathapounge hah cakâ hoi tâtueng vaiteh, Lebanon teh, athakaawme kut dawk hoi a rawp awh han. Kaie lung hai a roum han.
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
