Isaiah 32
1 Khenhaw! Siangpahrang buet touh ni lannae hoi a uk han. A kut rahim e bawinaw ni hai lannae hoi a uk awh han.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 Tami buet touh teh, kahlî a tho nah kânguenae patetlah thoseh, thingyei yawn dawk e palang patetlah thoseh, ngawt tawnnae koe lungsong e a tâhlip patetlah thoseh ao han.
And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 Kahmawtnaw e mit kacaipanlah a hmu awh han. Ka thai e tami pueng ni hai a hnâ a pakeng awh han.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 Lungtawtnae lung hoi ouk ka kâroe e ni hai a thaipanuek han. A lawk ka patak e ni hai kamcengcalah a dei thai hanelah coungkacoe ao.
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Tamipathu hah ka talue e telah thoseh, a lai kathout kamhnawng e hah bari kaawm e tami telah thoseh, bout kaw mahoeh toe.
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful.
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut laipalah tawksak nahanelah, BAWIPA e kong hah laithoe lah dei nahanelah, vonhlamrincinaw e lungngai pakuep pouh laipalah paktha nahane hoi, tui kahran e hah tui pânei hoeh nahanelah, tamipathu ni pathunae hah a dei teh, ahnie lungthin ni yonnae sak hanelah a pouk
For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 A lai kathout kamhnawng naw hanelah senehmaica teh yonnae hah doeh. Mathoenaw e kâheinae teh thuem pawiteh, mathoenaw hah laithoe lahoi raphoe nahanelah, ahni ni kathoute pouknae hah ouk a pouk.
The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 Hatei, ka talue e taminaw niteh, ka talue e pouknae hah a pouk teh, ka talue e naw hah a kangduekhai.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9 Awpawp kaawm e napuinaw, thaw awh haw. Kaie lawk hah thai awh haw. Mahoima lungkayouk e napuinaw, ka lawk hah thai awh haw.
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Mahoima lungkayouk e napuinaw, nangmouh teh hnin touh, kum touh thung na pâyaw awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, misurpaw khinae a pâpout awh han. A paw khinae tue phat mahoeh.
Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Awpawp kaawm e napuinaw, taki hoi pâyaw awh haw. Mahoima lungkayouknaw, khohna rading teh, tawngtai lah o hnukkhu, buri hah kâyeng awh haw.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
12 Talai kahawi laikawknaw hoi a paw kara e misurkung hanelah, lungtabue ratum awh.
They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Pâkhing tangdunnaw ni a yawngyen e ka taminaw e talai hane hoi kamthang e kho thung hoi lunghawinae hoi kakawi e im pueng hanelah a tho.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
14 Siangpahrang im teh ceitakhai lah ao teh, tami alumnae kho teh hnoun lah ao toe. Imrasang hoi onae imnaw teh, sarang khu lah a yungyoe ao teh, la kacuetnaw hoi tunaw ni hrampanae hmuen lah ao han.
Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Kalvan hoi Muitha hah maimouh van a awi teh, ramke teh talai kahawi patue nahane kahawicalah a coung teh, talai kahawi lawhmuen teh ratu telah ti hnin totouh ao han.
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Hattoteh lannae teh kahrawngum vah ao vaiteh, lannae teh talai kahawi lawhmuen dawk a yungyoe ao han.
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 Lannae ahawinae teh, lungmawngnae lah ao teh, lannae ni a thokhai e teh, a yungyoe roumnae hoi lungmawngnae lah doeh ao.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18 Ka taminaw hai roumnae hmuen, lungmawngnae hmuen hoi duem kâhatnae naw dawk ao awh han.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 Hatei, ratu teh talai dawk rep a tabo teh, kho hai talai hoi sue touh lah a rawk toteh, rounnaw a bo han.
When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 Tui onae hmuen pueng koe cati kahei vaiteh, maito e khok hoi la khok naw ka tha e nang teh na yawhawi awh.
Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
