Isaiah 24
1 Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni talai hah peng raphoe vaiteh, tami kingkadi lah awm sak vaiteh, talai detpakhup vaiteh, hawvah kaawm e naw hai koung a kâkayei sak han.
Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare the surface of it, and scatter them that dwell therein.
2 Hattoteh taminaw koe kaawm e patetlah vaihma koe ao van han. San koe kaawm e patetlah a bawi koehai ao van han. Ka ran e koe kaawm e patetlah kâyawt e koehai ao han. Lai ka ba e koe kaawm e patetlah lai a ba pouh e koehai ao han. Apung ka poe e koe kaawm e patetlah apung kacate koehai ao han.
And the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the lord, and the maid as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as his creditor.
3 BAWIPA ni a dei dawkvah, talai teh hrawnghrang lah ao teh, lawp e lah ao han.
The earth shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.
4 Talai teh a cingou laihoi a kamyai. Talaivan hai a tha ayoun teh a kamyai. Talai tami kalentoenaw hai a tha ayoun awh.
The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.
5 Talai teh, ama dawk kaawm e taminaw e kâtapoenae, kâlawk ngaihoehnae, a yungyoe lawkkam tapoenae dawkvah, a khin toe.
And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.
6 Hatdawkvah, hete thoebonae ni talai a payawp toe. Talai dawk kaawmnaw koe yon teh a pha toe. Hatdawkvah, talai dawk kaawm e naw teh, a kak awh teh, hoehoe a youn awh.
Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, because the inhabitants thereof have sinned: therefore the dwellers in the earth shall be poor, and few men shall be left.
7 Misurtui a katha e teh a cingou. Misurkung hai a kamyai toe. Konawmnae hoi kaawm e pueng ni a cingou awh.
The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.
8 Tâbaw hoi panuiparing lawk hai kingdi toe.
The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.
9 La sak laihoi misurtui neinae awm hoeh toe. Yamu teh kanetnaw hanelah a kha pouh toe.
They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].
10 Paringparang lah kaawm e khopui teh a rawk toe. Apihai a kâen hoeh nahanelah im pueng teh khan lah ao.
All the city has become desolate: one shall shut his house so that none shall enter.
11 Misurtui a takang toung dawkvah, lamnaw dawk a cingou awh. Lunghawinae kaawm e pueng teh kingdi toe. Talai lunghawinae teh pâlei lah ao toe.
There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.
12 Kho thung teh, kingdinae doeh kaawm toe. Kho longkha teh, peng raphoe lah ao.
And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai lungui, ramnaw thung dawkvah, olivekung kahuet toteh kaawm e patetlah thoseh, misurpaw khi toteh a paw racawng e patetlah thoseh ao han.
All this shall be in the land in the midst of the nations, as if one should strip an olive tree, so shall they strip them; but when the vintage is done,
14 A lawk hoe a cai sak awh teh, lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh. Kanîloumlah kaawm e naw ni BAWIPA taluenae teh a dei awh han.
these shall cry aloud; and they that are left on the land shall rejoice together in the glory of the Lord: the water of the sea shall be troubled.
15 Hatdawkvah, kanîtholah kaawmnaw ni BAWIPA lentoenae a poe awh han. Talai poutnae koe, tupui rai kaawm e naw ni, Isarelnaw e Jehovah Cathut teh lentoenae a poe awh han.
Therefore shall the glory of the Lord be in the isles of the sea; the name of the Lord shall be glorious.
16 Kalan e Bawipa teh lentoe lawiseh, telah talai poutnae koehoi la sak lawk ka thai. Hatei, kai niteh, kai kaawm hoeh toe. Kai kaawm hoeh toe. Ka kahma toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, yuemkamcu hoeh e naw ni yuemkamcu hoeh lah kho a sak awh.
O Lord God of Israel, from the ends of the earth we have heard wonderful things, [and there is] hope to the godly: but they shall say, Woe to the despisers, that despise the law.
17 Oe talai taminaw, taki ka tho e hoi tangkom hoi karap naw ni sut na pawp awh.
Fear, and a pit, and a snare, are upon you that dwell on the earth.
18 Taki ka tho e pawlawk dawk kayawngnaw teh tangkom thung a bo awh han. Tangkom thung hoi bout katâcawtnaw teh tangkam dawk a kâman awh han. Kalvan longkhanaw paawng teh, talai dunaw hai a kâhuet han.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the pit shall be caught by the snare: for windows have been opened in heaven, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken,
19 Talaipui teh khoeroe a kâbawng toe. Talaipui teh khoeroe a tip teh a rawk toe. Talaipui teh khoeroe a kâhuet toe.
the earth shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.
20 Talaipui teh yamuhri patetlah dandan a rawp teh, loungkanghawi patetlah a kâhuet toe. A payonnae yon teh amae lathueng a ri poung dawkvah, a rawp han. Bout thaw thai mahoeh toe.
It reels as a drunkard and one oppressed with wine, and the earth shall be shaken as a storehouse of fruits; for iniquity has prevailed upon it, and it shall fall, and shall not be able to rise.
21 Hote hnin dawkvah, BAWIPA ni kalvan vah, ransabawinaw thoseh, talai van vah talai siangpahrangnaw thoseh, lawk a ceng han.
And God shall bring [his] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.
22 Ahnimanaw hah tangkom dawk hoi thongim ka bawt naw patetlah cungtalah kamkhueng sak vaiteh, thongim thung a paung han. Hnin moikapap a loum torei, ahnimanaw teh lawkceng lah ao awh han.
And they shall gather the multitude thereof into prisons, and they shall shut them into a strong hold: after many generations they shall be visited.
23 Hathnukkhu thapa teh a minhmai mathout vaiteh, kanî hai yeirai a po han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan ransabawi ni Zion mon Jerusalem vah siangpahrang lah awm vaiteh, amae kacuenaw hmalah, a lentoe han.
And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Sion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before [his] elders.
