Isaiah 29
1 Ariel kho, Ariel kho, Devit ni a tungpupnae kho a rawk toe. Kum touh hnukkhu kum touh pakawi awh. Pawinaw hah patuen patuen to awh.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded.
2 Hatei, kai ni Ariel kho hah runae ka kâhmo sak han. Hote kho dawk khuikanae hoi cingounae ao han. Hote kho teh ka hmalah Ariel kho patetlah ao han.
And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me.
3 Kai teh nangmouh petkâkalup lah ransanaw ka tungpup sak han. Ramvengimnaw hoi pet na kalup vaiteh, lampawpkhunaw hai ka tai han.
And I will surround you like a sphere all around you, and I will raise up a rampart against you, and I will set up fortifications to blockade you.
4 Nang teh rahnoum sak lah na o vaiteh, talai thung na deipan han. Rep na tabonae vaiphu thung hoi na lawk a tâco han. Na lawk teh kahrai lawk patetlah talai thung hoi a tâco han. Na lawk teh talai thung hoi paiyaicalah thai lah ao han.
You will be brought low. You will speak from the ground, and your eloquence will be heard from the dirt. And, from the ground, your voice will be like that of the python, and your eloquence will mumble from the dirt.
5 Hatei, na tarannaw teh vaiphu patetlah ao awh vaiteh, kamathengnaw hai palek e cahik patetlah ao awh han.
And the multitude of those who fan you will be like fine dust. And the multitude of those who have prevailed against you will be like embers fading away.
6 Vaitalahoi pouk laipalah, ransahu BAWIPA ni khoparit lawk, tâlî, puenghoi kacai e lawk, ka kang e hmaipalai naw sin vaiteh, nang koe pai hanelah a tho han.
And this will happen suddenly and swiftly. It will be visited from the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquakes, and with the great noise of a whirlwind and a storm, and with a flame of devouring fire.
7 Ariel kho ka tuk e ram pueng dawk e ransanaw, hote kho hoi hote kho hah ka tuk ni teh hote kho ka rektap e tami pueng teh, mang patetlah tangmin e vision patetlah ao han.
And the multitude of all the nations that have struggled against Ariel will be like the dream of a vision by night, along with all who have battled, and besieged, and prevailed against it.
8 A von ka hlam e ni bu ka ca toe telah a mang a sak eiteh, a kâhlaw toteh, a von toungloung a hlam e patetlah thoseh, tui kahran e ni hai, tui ka nei toe telah a mang a sak eiteh, a kâhlaw toteh tui toung loung a kahran e patetlah thoseh Zion mon ka tuk e ram pueng dawk e ransanaw teh ao awh han.
And it will be like one who is hungry and dreams of eating, but, when he has been awakened, his soul is empty. And it will be like one who is thirsty and dreams of drinking, but, after he has been awakened, he still languishes in thirst, and his soul is empty. So shall the multitude of all the nations be, who have struggled against Mount Zion.
9 Hmoung tet awh nateh, hmoung ngam awh. Mit dawn awh nateh, hmawt laipalah awm awh. Misur net laipalah parui awh. Yamu net laipalah rawrawcu laihoi cet awh.
Be stupefied and in wonder! Shake and quiver! Be inebriated, but not from wine! Stagger, but not from drunkenness!
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni inae hoi kâkuen e muitha hah nangmae lathueng a awi vaiteh, nangmae profet mitnaw hah tabuem vaiteh, na hmunae lûnaw hah a ramuk han.
For the Lord has mixed for you a spirit of deep sleep. He will close your eyes. He will cover your prophets and leaders, who see visions.
11 Nangmouh hanelah vision pueng teh, tacikkin e ca thung e lawklungnaw patetlah ao. Hot hah cakathoumnaw koe poe vaiteh, hete ca hah atu touk haw, telah na tetpawiteh, ahni ni, hete ca teh tacikkin lah ao dawkvah, kai ka touk thai hoeh, telah bout ati han.
And the vision of all will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they have given it to someone who knows how to read, they will say, “Read this,” but he will respond, “I cannot; for it has been sealed.”
12 Hahoi hote ca hah, ca kathoum hoeh e koe bout poe nateh, hete ca hah atu touk haw, telah na tetpawiteh, ahni ni, kai teh ca ka thoum hoeh bout ati han.
But if the book is given to someone who does not know how to read, and it is said to him, “Read,” then he will respond, “I do not know how to read.”
13 Bawipa ni, hete miphunnaw ni pahni hoi kai koe rek na hnai awh teh, amamae pahni hoi kai hah na pholen awh. Ahnimae lungthin teh kai hoi a kâhla poung. Ahnimouh ni tami ni sak e kâlawk hoi kai hah na taki awh.
And the Lord said: Since this people have drawn near to me only with their mouth, and their lips glorify me while their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is based on the commandments and doctrines of men,
14 Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! Hete miphun koe kângairu hno buet touh hnukkhu buet touh hah puenghoi kângairu sak nahanelah, bout ka patue han rah. Ahnimouh thung e a lungkaangnaw e lungangnae teh a rawk han. Kathoumnaw e thoumnae hai a kahma han telah ati.
for this reason, behold, I will proceed to accomplish a wonder for this people, a great and mystifying miracle. For wisdom will perish from their wise, and the understanding of their prudent will be concealed.
15 BAWIPA ni panue hoeh nahanelah pouknae teh kadung poung lah a hro awh teh, amamae sakyoenae teh hmonae koe a sak awh teh, kaimouh hah apinimouh na hmu va, kaimouh hah apinimouh na panue va, telah ouk ka tet e taminaw teh a yawthoe awh.
Woe to you who use the depths of the heart, so that you may hide your intentions from the Lord. Their works are done in darkness, and so they say: “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16 Nangmouh ni palet lah na o sak awh toe. Hlaam ka bo e hah amhru patetlah pouk kawi na maw. Sak lah kaawm e ni kasakkung hanelah, ahni ni kai na sak e nahoeh, telah ati kawi na maw. Sakyoe lah kaawm e hno ni, ka sakyoe hanelah, ahni teh banghai panuek hoeh, ati kawi na maw.
This intention of yours is perverse. It is as if the clay were to plan against the potter, or as if the work were to say to its maker: “You did not make me.” Or it is as if what has been formed were to say to the one who formed it, “You do not understand.”
17 Lebanon mon teh talai ahawi lawhmuen lah ao teh, talai kahawi e lawhmuen teh ratu lah ao nahan sica doeh a ngai toe.
In not more than a little while and a brief time, Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
18 Hatnae hnin dawkvah, hnâ ka thai hoeh e naw ni Cakathoung e lawk a thai awh han. Mitdawnnaw ni vuivainae hoi hmonae dawk hoi hlout awh vaiteh, mit a hmu awh han.
And in that day, the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind will see.
19 Lung kârahnoum e naw teh, BAWIPA dawk lunghawinae hah a katha lah bout a hmu awh han. Ayâ rahak kamathoe e taminaw teh, Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa dawk a lunghawi awh han.
And the meek will increase their rejoicing in the Lord, and the poor among men will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mathengpaan e tami teh kahmat vaiteh, ka dudam e tami teh a kahma han.
For the one who was prevailing has failed, the one who was mocking has been consumed, and all those who were standing guard over iniquity have been cut down.
21 Yonnae sak hanelah a pawp teh, lawk lahoi tami buetbuet touh a yon sak teh, kho longkha koe ahni hanelah karap ka patung pouh e tami hoi ayawmyin lah tami kalannaw e ham hah ka lawm e tami pueng teh, raphoe lah ao awh han.
For they caused men to sin by a word, and they supplanted him who argued against them at the gates, and they turned away from justice in vain.
22 Hatdawkvah, Abraham ka rungngang e BAWIPA ni, Jakop miphun hoi kâkuen lah, Jakop miphun teh a hnukkhu kayanae hoi minhmai mathoenae hai awm mahoeh toe.
Because of this, thus says the Lord, he who has redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob: From now on, Jacob will not be confounded; from now on his countenance will not blush with shame.
23 Ahnimouh ni kai ni ka sak e hno a hmu awh navah, kaie ka min hah amamae lungui vah a thoungsak awh han. Jakop miphun e kathounge BAWIPA teh a thoung tet awh vaiteh, Isarel Cathut teh a taki awh han.
Instead, when he sees his children, they will be the work of my hands in his midst, sanctifying my name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will preach the God of Israel.
24 Lam ka phen e naw ni thaipanueknae hoi kâkuen e muitha hah coe awh vaiteh, lunghminhoehnae hoi ka cingou e naw ni hai cangkhainae lawk hah a dâw awh han telah ati.
And those who had gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those who had murmured will learn the law.
