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 which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
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 make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
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 make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
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.
Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
5 Hatei, na tarannaw teh vaiphu patetlah ao awh vaiteh, kamathengnaw hai palek e cahik patetlah ao awh han.
And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
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 it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the 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 nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, 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 as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.
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 astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with 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 hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that 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 shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is 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.
And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
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: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment 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.
Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
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 that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth 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 thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
17 Lebanon mon teh talai ahawi lawhmuen lah ao teh, talai kahawi e lawhmuen teh ratu lah ao nahan sica doeh a ngai toe.
Is it not yet a very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed as 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 shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind shall 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 shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mathengpaan e tami teh kahmat vaiteh, ka dudam e tami teh a kahma han.
For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
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.
That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
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.
But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify 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 they that erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
