Isaiah 25
1 Oe Jehovah, nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o. Na bari vaiteh, na min ka pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni kângairu hnonaw hah na sak toe. Ayan e na pouknae teh, yuemkamcunae lahoi a cak awh.
O Yhwh, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 Kho hah songnawng lah na coung sak teh, kacakpounge kho hah na tip sak. Ramlouknaw e imnaw teh kho lah awm hoeh toe. Hotnaw hah nâtuek hai bout sak awh mahoeh toe.
For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Hatdawkvah, athakaawme miphun teh, Bawipa nang na pholen awh han. Taki ka tho e miphunnaw e kho ni nang teh na taki awh han.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 Bawipa nang teh mathoenaw e rapan, runae koe ka phat e vonhlamrincinaw hanelah kângue e, cakho a tho nah kâhatnae, khumbei um vah tâhlip lah na o. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taki ka tho naw e lungkhueknae teh, tapang kahmâng e cakho patetlah thoseh,
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 ramkenae koehoi e khumbei patetlah thoseh ao. Bawipa nang ni, ramlouknaw e pawrin teh na roum sak pouh. Tâmai tâhlip dawk khumbei a bet e patetlah taki ka thonaw e la sak lawk teh a kahma han.
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Rasahu BAWIPA niyah, kahawipoung e ai kawi, cakawi naw hoi misur yamunaw hoi tami pueng hanelah, hete mon dawk canei pawi pui a to pouh awh han.
And in this mountain shall Yhwh of Armies make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Tami pueng ka ramuk e minhmai ramuknae hoi ram pueng ka ramuk e minhmai ramuknae hah, hete mon dawk Bawipa ni a takhoe han.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 Duenae hah a yungyoe a payawp han toe. Bawipa Jehovah ni, tami pueng e minhmai dawk hoi mitphi hui pouh vaiteh, a taminaw ni a khang awh e pathoenae hah, talai van dawk hoi takhoe pouh han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hottelah a dei.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord Yhwh will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for Yhwh hath spoken it.
9 Hat hnin vah, khenhaw! Hete Bawipa teh, maimouh rungngang hanelah, maimouh ni ngaihawi e maimae BAWIPA doeh. Bawipa e rungngangnae dawkvah, maimouh teh lunghawi awh sei, telah la a sak awh han.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Yhwh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e a kut teh, hete mon dawk ao han. Cakong teh vaipuen tangdong dawk vitvit coungroe patetlah Moab ram teh Bawipa e khok rahim vah, vitvit coungroe lah ao han.
For in this mountain shall the hand of Yhwh rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 Tui ka kale e ni tui kale hanelah a kut a dâw e patetlah, Bawipa ni hote ram lungui vah a kut dâw vaiteh, hot ram e kâoupnae teh a thaonae kut hoi rahim lah a pabo han.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 Bawipa ni nange rapan koehoi kacakpounge ramvengim hah raphoe vaiteh, talai totouh a pabo dawkvah, vaiphu dawk a rawp han.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
