< 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 YHWH will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will 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 peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in YHWH's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall 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.
It will happen in the day that YHWH will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
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.
that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased. How the attacker has ceased."
5 BAWIPA teh tamikathoutnaw e sonron, ukkungnaw e tahroe hah a khoe pouh.
YHWH 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
who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
7 Talaivan pueng teh duem a kâhat teh, la sak lawk ni a katin.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out 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.
Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up 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 )
Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol )
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 all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you 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 )
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol )
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, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
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 into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.
14 Tâmainaw e lathueng ka luen han. Lathueng Poung e Cathut patetlah ka kâsak han.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High."
15 Hatei, nang teh tami kadout kho, kadung poung e tangkom thung na bo toe. (Sheol )
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit. (Sheol )
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 at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;
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 made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who did not release his prisoners to their home?"
18 Ram tangkuem e siangpahrangnaw pueng teh, amamae tangkom dawk bawilennae hoi a yan awh.
All the kings of the nations lie in splendor, everyone in his own house.
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 away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
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, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be mentioned forever.
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 for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with 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," says YHWH of hosts, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says YHWH.
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 also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says YHWH of hosts.
24 Rasahu BAWIPA ni, ka pouk e patetlah ao han. Ka noe e patetlah ka sak han.
YHWH of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall 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.
that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave 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 that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is 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.
For YHWH of hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"
28 Ahaz siangpahrang a duenae kum dawk hete lawk teh a tho.
This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
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, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
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.
The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
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.
Howl, gate. Cry, city. You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his 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 then is one to answer the messengers of this nation? That YHWH has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
