Isaiah 14
1 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Jakop imthung hah a pahren dawkvah, Isarelnaw hah bout a rawi teh, amamae ram dawk ahnimanaw hah a hmuen a poe han. Ramlouknaw ni ahnimouh koe ao awh van han.
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
2 Miphunnaw ni ahnimouh teh, amamae ram dawk a thokhai awh han. Isarelnaw ni miphunnaw e napui tongpanaw hah san lah a tawn awh han. Ahnimouh ni ahnimouh kamankungnaw hah a man awh han. Ahnimouh ka rektap e naw hai a uk awh han.
The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
3 BAWIPA ni nange patawnae, temdengnae, ka ru e thaw na tawk saknae koehoi nang hlout sak nahan lah BAWIPA e hnin teh a tho han.
On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,
4 Hattoteh, nangmouh ni Babilon siangpahrang hanelah hettelah bangnuenae na dei awh han, talai ka rektap e teh hete tami nahoehmaw, a uknaeram teh a rawp bo toung vaw.
you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!
5 BAWIPA teh tamikathoutnaw e sonron, ukkungnaw e tahroe hah a khoe pouh.
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.
6 Hote ni pout laipalah hemnae hoiyah taminaw hah lungkhueknae hoi a hem. Pahrennae awm laipalah, rektap teh lungkhueknae miphunnaw hah a uk
It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.
7 Talaivan pueng teh duem a kâhat teh, la sak lawk ni a katin.
All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.
8 Hmaica thingnaw ni nang koe a lunghawi awh. Lebanon mon kaawm e sidar thingnaw ni, nang na rawp hnukkhu, kaimouh na ka tâtueng hane luen takhang hoeh toe ati awh.
Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
9 Nang na tho toteh dawn hanelah, tami kadout kho teh a kâcai. Talai ukkungnaw pueng a hroecoe teh, ram tangkuem e siangpahrangnaw pueng hai amamae bawitungkhung dawk hoi a thaw sak. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you— all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
10 Ahnimouh pueng ni na pathungnae lah a dei awh e teh, nang hai kaimouh patetlah na tha a youn teh, kaimouh hoi rei na kâvan bo vaw
They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”
11 Nange raim onae, nange ratoung lawk teh tami kadout kho a cei awh toe. Pârinaw teh na yan nahanelah ao teh, ahrinaw teh na kâkhu e lah ao. (Sheol h7585)
Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket. (Sheol h7585)
12 Oe Khosei capa (Lucifer), amom tempalo, kalvan hoi na bo toe. Ram pueng na kata e, nang teh talai dawk rek na taben toe khe.
How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.
13 Nama ni teh na lungthung hoi hettelah na dei. Kalvan vah ka luen han. Cathut e âsinaw lathueng vah, ka tahungnae bawitungkhung ka rasang sak han. Atunglah kaawm e kamkhuengnae mon dawk ka tahung han.
You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.
14 Tâmainaw e lathueng ka luen han. Lathueng Poung e Cathut patetlah ka kâsak han.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Nang na kahmawt e naw ni nang hah na khet awh teh, talai kâhuen sak e tami, ram pueng kâhuen sak e tami,
Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
17 talaivan heh kahrawngum patetlah ka coung sak niteh, khopuinaw hah ka raphoe e, a man e naw hah ama im bout ban sak hanelah kâ ka poe hoeh e teh hete tami han namaw, na ti pouh awh han.
who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
18 Ram tangkuem e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, amamae tangkom dawk bawilennae hoi a yan awh.
All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19 Hatei, nang teh panuettho e thingkang patetlah na tangkom dawk hoi takhoe lah na o toe. Thei lah kaawm e, tahloi hoi thut lah kaawm e, talung tangkom thung ka cet e naw hoi ramuk lah na o teh, khok hoi coungroe e ro patetlah doeh na o toe.
But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
20 Nang teh ahnimouh hoi rei pakawp mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh, nama e ram hah na raphoe teh, na taminaw hah na thei toe. Hawihoehnae ka sak e a catounnaw teh nâtuek hai a min bout dei mahoeh toe.
You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.
21 Ahnimae a canaw teh, amamae napanaw e yon kecu dawkvah, thei nahane hmuen hah rakueng awh. Ahnimouh thung hoi apihai talai ukkung awm mahoeh toe. Talaivan kho hai kangdout sak awh mahoeh toe.
Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.
22 Rasahu BAWIPA ni, ahnimouh hoi kâtaran lah ka o han. Babilon kho dawk hoi ahnie min hoi kacawie naw thoseh, a ca catounnaw hai thoseh ka raphoe han telah ati.
“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,”
23 Babilon kho teh sambuem lah ka o sak vaiteh, bukbu onae lah ka ta han. Raphoenae sampho hoi ka pâthoun han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a pathang.
“I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
24 Rasahu BAWIPA ni, ka pouk e patetlah ao han. Ka noe e patetlah ka sak han.
The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.
25 Assirianaw hah ka ram dawk rek ka hem vaiteh, kama e monnaw dawkvah, rep ka coungroe han. Ahnie yawcu hah ka takhoe pouh vaiteh, a hno hah a loung dawk hoi ka takhoe pouh han telah thoe a kâbo teh a dei.
I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26 Hethateh, talai van puenghoi kâkuen e ka noenae doeh. Hathateh, ram pueng koe ka dâw e kut doeh
This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.
27 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ransahu BAWIPA ni a noe toe. Apinimouh a oun thai han. BAWIPA e kut teh a dâw toe. Apinimouh a hno sak thai han.
The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
28 Ahaz siangpahrang a duenae kum dawk hete lawk teh a tho.
In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:
29 Filistin khocanaw, nangmouh na hemnae bongpai a lawt dawk na lunghawi awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tahrun phun dawk hoi hrunthoe a khe awh han. Hote a canaw hai kamleng thai e hmaitahrun lah ao awh han.
Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
30 Mathoenaw e caminnaw hai kawkhik lah ao han. Mathoemaranaw hai kahawicalah a i awh han. Hatei, nange tangpha teh takang hoi ka thei han. Kacawie naw hai thei lah ao han.
Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.
31 Oe kho longkha, cingou haw. Oe khopui, khuikap haw. Filistinnaw pueng teh taki hoi a pâyaw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atunglah hoi hmaikhu a tâco. Hote ransahu dawkvah, kampek e awm hoeh.
Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
32 Ahnimouh ni, ram tangkuem e patounenaw koe bangtelamaw a dei pouh han vai. BAWIPA ni Zion kho hah a kangdue sak teh, mathoenaw ni hote kho dawk a kângue awh han.
What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”
