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 the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to 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.
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust 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.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Ahnimae bawinaw teh, Zoan kho vah ao awh teh, ahnimae laiceinaw teh, Hanes kho ka phat awh nakunghai,
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came 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 ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a 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: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 Izip ni kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh, ayawmyin doeh.
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to 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 go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and 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.
That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
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.
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
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.
Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to 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.
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
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 this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
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 he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal 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; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye 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 ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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.
One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an 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.
And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a 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 shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, 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 though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
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 thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn 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.
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto 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.
Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
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.
The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
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 high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers 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.
Moreover 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 that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth 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 far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of 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.
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
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.
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness 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 cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 Bongpai hoi runae a poe toteh, Assirianaw teh BAWIPA e lawk dawk puenghoi a puen awh han.
For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a 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 in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
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 Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
