Isaiah 11
1 Jesi kung dawk hoi a dawn a cawn han. A tangpha dawk e a cakang ni a paw a paw han.
And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
2 BAWIPA e Muitha, lungangnae Muitha, thaipanueknae Muitha, kâponae Muitha, thaonae Muitha, panuenae Muitha, hoi BAWIPA takinae Muitha teh ahni dawk ao han.
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
3 Ahni teh BAWIPA a taki dawkvah, a mit hoi a hmu e patetlah lawkceng hoeh, a hnâ hoi a thai e patetlah lawk tâtueng hoeh.
And he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
4 Mathoenaw hah lannae hoi lawk a ceng teh, talai taminaw koelah, panguepnae lahoi lawk a tâtueng pouh. Talai hah a lawk bongpai hoi a hem teh, tamikathoutnaw hah a kâha hoi a thei.
Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
5 Lannae hoi yuemkamcunae teh a keng dawk kâyeng e taisawm lah ao.
And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior’s belt at his side.
6 Asui teh tuca hoi rei ao han. Kaisi teh hmaeca hoi rei a yan han. Maitoca, sendek, hoi ka thâw e saringnaw hoi reirei a ceio awh han. Camocanaw ni hotnaw hah a hrawi awh han.
The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
7 Maitomanu hoi tavom teh reirei hrampa awh vaiteh, a canaw teh reirei a yan awh han. Sendek hai maito patetlah hram a ca han.
The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Sanu ka net e camo ni hai hrunthoe khu koe a pai han. Sanu kamphei e camo nihai, hrunthok khu dawk a tapu han.
And a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
9 Kaie kathounge mon dawk, kârektapnae, kâraphoenae awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui ni amae hmuen hah a ramuk e patetlah talai van teh, BAWIPA panuenae hoi akawi han.
They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering the sea.
10 Hate hnin dawkvah, Jesi e tangpha teh cawn vaiteh, taminaw hanelah mitnoutnae lah ao han. Hote mitnoutnae koe Jentelnaw teh a kâhnai awh han. A onae hmuen hai a lentoe han.
In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will be glorious.
11 Hate hnin dawkvah, a kut dâw vaiteh, Assiria ram, Izip ram, Pathros ram, Kush ram, Elam ram, Shinar ram, Hamath ram, tuipui namran lah kaawm e ramnaw koehoi, a taminaw kacawiraenaw hah bout a thokhai.
And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Jentelnaw hanelah mitnoutnae a ung pouh dawkvah, a pâlei e Isarelnaw hoi kho tangkuem kampek e Judahnaw hah, talai takin pali touh koehoi kaw vaiteh, a pâkhueng han.
And he will lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions of the earth.
13 Ephraim teh utnae lung a roum han. Ouk ka taran e Judahnaw hai taran ngainae lung a roum awh han. Ephraim ni Judahnaw hah ut awh mahoeh toe. Judahnaw ni Ephraim hah taran awh mahoeh toe.
And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against Ephraim.
14 Ahnimouh ni kanîloum lah, Filistinnaw hah a tuk awh han. Kanîtholae ramnaw e hnopainaw hah reirei a lawp awh han. Edomnaw hoi Moabnaw hai a thei awh han. Ammonnaw ni ahnimae lawk hah a ngai pouh awh han.
And they will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
15 BAWIPA ni Izip tuipui e lai hah khoeroe a raphoe pouh han. Kabetpoung e kahlî hoi a kut hah palangnaw van kahek vaiteh, palang sari touh a lawng nahanlah hem vaiteh, taminaw ni khokkhawm khawm vaiteh a raka awh han.
And the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
16 Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi a tâco awh navah kaawm e patetlah Assiria ram hoi kacawie a taminaw ceinae lamthung lah a coung han.
And there will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.
