Isaiah 30
1 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, a lung ka patak e camonaw teh a yawthoe awh. Ahnimouh teh, kaie pouknae lah kaawm hoeh e pouknae hah a tawksak awh. Kaie muitha laipalah, a kâhuiko awh teh, payonnae van payonnae a pakawi sin awh.
Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin:
2 Ahnimouh teh, Faro siangpahrang e nguenae rahim vah, lungmawngnae a tawng awh teh, Izip ram kângue hanelah a tawng awh teh, kaie kâ het laipalah, Izip ram lah a cei awh.
Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Hatdawkvah, Faro siangpahrang e nguenae teh, nangmouh hane yeirai lah ao han. Izip ram kânguenae teh, minhmai mathoenae lah ao han.
And the strength of Pharao shall be to your confusion, and the confidence of the shadow of Egypt to your shame.
4 Ahnimae bawinaw teh, Zoan kho vah ao awh teh, ahnimae laiceinaw teh, Hanes kho ka phat awh nakunghai,
For thy princes were in Tanis, and thy messengers came even to Hanes.
5 cungkeinae awm hoeh. Cawmpang han awm hoeh. Hawinae awm hoeh. Yeirai ponae hoi minhmai mathoenae dueng lah kaawm e taminaw kecu dawkvah, ahnimanaw pueng teh yeirai a po awh han.
They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
6 Akalae ram dawk e saringnaw hanelah Bawipa ni a dei e teh; sendek la, sendektan, hrunthoe, hoi kamleng e hmai tahrunnaw apapnae runae hoi rucatnae ram hah ka raka niteh, hawinae kaawm hoeh e miphun koe, la van vah amamae hnopainaw thoseh, kalauk van vah hnopainaw thoseh, a phu awh.
The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
7 Izip ni kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh, ayawmyin doeh.
For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
8 Ka tho hane tueng dawk, kapanuekkhaikung lah a yungyoe ao nahanlah, atu cet nateh, ahnimae hmalah a phen dawk thun pouh nateh, cauk dawk hai thun pouh.
Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh ka taran e miphun, ka dumyen e canunaw, BAWIPA lawk ngâi hanelah ka ngai hoeh e capanaw lah ao awh.
For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children, children that will not hear the law of God.
10 Ahnimouh ni, vision ka hmawt naw koe vision hmawt awh hanh awh, profetnaw koe, katang e naw hah kaimouh koe dei awh hanh. Kaimouh koe hnâthai ka nawm e, lungthin kâdumnae naw ma hah na dei pouh awh.
Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us.
11 Lamthung katang dawk hoi kâkhoe awh. Lamthung dawk hoi phen awh. Isarelnaw e kathounge BAWIPA teh, kaimae hmalah kahmat sak awh, telah a dei awh.
Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.
12 Hatdawkvah, Isarel miphunnaw e kathounge BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nangmouh ni hete lawk hah na hnoun awh teh, rektap hnephnapnae hoi kahuengkalang onae hah na kâuep awh teh, hotnaw hah na kâuep awh.
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and have trusted in oppression and tumult, and have leaned upon it:
13 Hatdawkvah, hete payonnae teh, rak ka kâbawng niteh, coungkacoe kaawm e karasangpoung e kho rapan hoi a kâvan. Hote rawknae teh, pouk laipalah vaitalahoi a tho teh,
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth, and is found wanting in a high wall, for the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
14 hlaamkabokung ni amae hlaam hah pasainae tawn laipalah, takhuen koe e hmaisaan la nahane hoi, tui duek nahane boehai awm laipalah a hem e patetlah ao han.
And it shall be broken small, as the potter’s vessel is broken all to pieces with mighty breaking, and there shall not a sherd be found of the pieces thereof, wherein a little fire may be carried from the hearth, or a, little water be drawn out of the pit.
15 Isarelnaw e kathounge ka Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nangmouh teh pankângai laihoi duem na awm awh pawiteh, rungngang lah na o awh han. Nangmae thaonae teh duem na onae thung thoseh, yuemnae thung thoseh ao. Hateiteh, nangmouh ni na ngai awh hoeh.
For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be. And you would not:
16 Nangmouh niteh, kaimouh teh hottelah kaawm awh hoeh. Marang kâcui vaiteh, ka yawng awh han, telah na ti awh dawkvah, nangmouh teh na yawng awh han. Kaimouh teh, karang poung lah ka kâcui awh han na ti awh dawkvah, nangmouh na ka pâlei e teh a rang awh han.
But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.
17 Nangmouh ni monsom hoi mitnout khom patetlah thoseh, monsom e mitnout patetlah thoseh, na o awh nahan, buet touh ni na pakhi pawiteh, 1,000 touh na yawng awh vaiteh, panga touh ni na pakhi awh pawiteh, thong hra touh na yawng awh han.
A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of a ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.
18 Hatei, BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe hawinae sak hanelah na ngaihawi han. Lungmanae tawn hanelah, tawm lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh, lannae Cathut lah ao. Cathut Jehovah ka ngaihawi e pueng teh, yawhawinae ao.
Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Oe Jerusalem vah kho ka sak e Zion khocanaw, nangmouh teh na khuikap awh mahoeh toe. Nangmae hramki lawk Bawipa ni a thai toteh, nangmouh na pahren awh han.
For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shell hear, he will answer thee.
20 BAWIPA ni nangmouh hah runae vaiyei hoi rektapnae tui na poe awh eiteh, nange kacangkhaikungnaw teh a hnukkhu bout kâhrawk awh mahoeh toe. Amamae mit hoi amamae kacangkhaikungnaw hah a hmu awh han.
And the Lord will give you spare bread, and short water: and will not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes shall see thy teacher.
21 Nang teh avoilah na kamlang nah, hoehpawiteh, aranglah na kamlang nah, hetteh lamthung doeh, hete lamthung dawk dawn haw, telah na hnuk lahoi dei e lawk hah na thai han.
And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
22 Hatdawkvah, tangka pukhluk e nange meikaphawk hoi, sui pukhluk e nange meikaphawknaw hah koung raphoe vaiteh, hotnaw pueng teh kakhin e napon patetlah takhoe vaiteh, cet leih, telah ti pouh awh han.
And thou shalt defile the plates of thy graven things of silver, and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get thee hence.
23 Bawipa ni, talai dawk nang ni na kahei e cati hanelah kho teh a rak sak han. Talai a pawhik dawk hoi e vaiyei teh a pungdaw sak han. Hote hnin dawkvah, nange saringnaw teh, ka kaw e hmuen koe a hrampa awh han.
And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy possession:
24 Talai dawk thaw ka tawk e maito hoi lanaw nihai, cuekkarue hoi para hoi karue teh pâsei tangcoung e rawca dueng a ca awh han.
And thy oxen, and the ass colts that till the ground, shall eat mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.
25 Imrasangnaw a tip awh teh, kalenpounge kâtheinae hnin navah, karasang e monnaw hoi, karasang e monrui kaawm e pueng dawk tui ka lawng e palangnaw ao han.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower shall fall.
26 BAWIPA ni a taminaw e rawknae hah a pathoup pouh vaiteh, ama ni runae a poenae hmâ hah a kahma sak toteh, thapa e angnae teh kanî e angnae patetlah ao vaiteh, kanî e angnae hai hnin sari touh e angnae patetlah let sari touh a ang han.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound.
27 Khenhaw! BAWIPA e a min teh, ka kang e a lungkhueknae hoi kingkahmawt e hmaikhu naw hoi ahlanae koehoi a tho. Bawipa e a pahni teh, lungkhueknae hoi a kawi teh, a lai teh kamtawi e hmai patetlah ao.
Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.
28 Bawipa e a kâha haiyah, rawknae hoi ram pueng karue teh pâsei hane hoi lam ka phen sak e pahni moumrui hah taminaw e pahni dawk moum hanelah, lahuen totouh ka phat e sawkca palang patetlah ao han.
His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
29 Pawitonae tangmin e patetlah sak hane la thoseh, Isarelnaw e talung lah kaawm e Cathut e mon koe vovit tum laihoi cei e patetlah lunghawinae lung hai thoseh nangmouh koe ao han.
You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.
30 BAWIPA ni amae lentoe lawk hah na thai sak han. Puenghoi a lungkhueknae hoi hmaito hmaipalai thungvah, kho kanan e kho, kahlî hoi roun hoi amae kut thasainae hah na hmu sak han.
And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the dame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones.
31 Bongpai hoi runae a poe toteh, Assirianaw teh BAWIPA e lawk dawk puenghoi a puen awh han.
For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod.
32 BAWIPA ni ahnimae van vah a toung e sonron ni vaivai touh a hem e tangkuem teh, ratoung hoi tâbaw lawk hoi cungtalah ao han. Taran tuknae koe kahek e senehmaica hoi ahnimanaw hah a tuk han.
And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall over throw them.
33 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahrawng lae naw teh, yampa hoi sut a rakueng toe. Atangcalah, hot hah siangpahrang hanelah a rakueng toe. Thing hoi hmai hoi pâeng nahanelah hmuen adungsak teh a pakaw toe. BAWIPA e a kâha teh, gan hmai palang patetlah a kamkai sak han.
For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.
