Isaiah 33
1 Raphoenae kâhmo laipalah ouk ka raphoe e hoi dumnae kâhmo laipalah ouk ka dum e naw teh, a yawthoe awh. Nang ni na raphoe hnukkhu, nama hai raphoenae na kâhmo han.
Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 Oe BAWIPA kaimouh hah na pahren haw. Kaimouh ni nang teh na ring awh. Amom karawitawi kaimae kut, runae kâhmo toteh kaimae rungngangkung lah awm haw.
O Yhwh, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Ransanaw e lawk kecu dawk taminaw teh a yawng awh. Bawipa nang na thaw toteh, miphunnaw teh koung a kâkayei awh.
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 Nangmae hnopainaw teh samtongnaw kamkhueng e patetlah lawp lah na o awh han. samtongnaw a kâtawm teh a cawkdawk awh e patetlah hotnaw e van vah a kâtawm awh vaiteh a yawng awh han.
And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 BAWIPA teh tawm lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a rasangnae hmuen koe ao teh, Zion kho hah kângingnae hoi lannae hoi a kawi sak.
Yhwh is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 Bawipa teh nange tueng dawk na caknae, rungngangnae hnopai, lungangnae hoi panuenae lah ao han.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of Yhwh is his treasure.
7 Khenhaw! Ahnimae ransanaw teh, lamthung dawkvah a hram awh. Lungmawngnae laiceinaw teh a khuika awh.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 Lamthungnaw teh kingdi. Lamthung dawk kahlawng ka cet e awm hoeh. Lawkkam hah a raphoe awh toe. Khonaw hai a hnoun awh toe. Tami hah banglahai ngâi awh hoeh.
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9 Ram teh a cingou teh, ayawmyin lah ao han. Lebanon kahrawng teh yeiraiponae hoi remke lah ao. Sharon hmuen teh kahrawngum patetlah ao. Bashan hoi Karmel mon dawk e thingkungnaw teh peng a sarut han.
The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atu kai ka thaw han. Atu kamahoima ka kâtawm han. Atu kai teh tawm e lah ka o han.
Now will I rise, saith Yhwh; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Nangmouh teh, cahik na vawn awh vaiteh, cakong hah na khe awh han. Nangmae kâha teh, hmai lah ao teh, namamouh na kak awh han.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 Taminaw ni thungtalung hah hmai a raawng e patetlah thoseh, pâkhingkungnaw a bouk teh hmai a phum e patetlah thoseh ao han.
And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Ahlanae koe e taminaw, kai ni ka sak e naw hah panuek awh haw. A hnainae koe e taminaw, kaie thaonae hah panuek awh haw.
Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 Zion kho e tamikayonnaw teh a taki awh. Cathut laipalah e taminaw teh, a tâlueng awh. Maimouh dawkvah, apimouh ka kang e hmai hoi kaawm thai han. Maimouh dawkvah, apimouh a yungyoe e hmai hoi kaawm thai han.
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Kalan lah ka cet niteh, kalan lah ka dei e, rektapnae lahoi hmu e hnopai hah a panuet teh, tadawnghno hah dâw hane hlak teh a kut kahek e, thi palawng hane pouknae hah tarawi hoeh nahanlah amae hnâ hah ka tabuem e, kathout hnonaw khet hoeh nahanelah, a mit ka tabuem e,
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16 hote tami teh a rasangnae koe a tahung han. Ahnie a kâuepnae teh, talungmon ramvengim lah ao han.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Na mit ni siangpahrang e meihawinae hah hmawt vaiteh, ahlanae koe e ram hai a hmu han.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Na lungthin ni taki ka tho e hah letlang a pouk toteh, ka parei e tami teh nâmouh ao va. Ka khing e tami teh nâmouh ao va. Imrasangnaw ka parei e tami teh nâmouh ao va.
Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Ka pathu e miphun, thai thai hoeh e lawk hah vaptivaptap lah ka pan niteh, panue thai hoeh e lawk ka pan e miphun hah na hmawt mahoeh toe.
Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
20 Pawitonae kho Zion kho hah khenhaw! Khom buet touh boehai puen hoeh e, rui buet touh boehai ka pet hoeh e, kampuen thai hoeh e rim ti e, lungmawngnae im Jerusalem kho hah, nangmouh ni namamae mit hoi na hmu awh han.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 Hote hmuen koe ka lentoe e BAWIPA teh, kakaw e palangnaw e hmuen lah ao han. hote hmuen koe tuisamlanae kaawm e long cet thai mahoeh. Atha kaawm e long hai cet thai mahoeh.
But there the glorious Yhwh will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh maimae lawkcengkung lah ao. BAWIPA teh maimae kâlawknaw kapoekung lah ao. BAWIPA teh maimae siangpahrang lah ao teh, maimouh hah na rungngang han.
For Yhwh is our judge, Yhwh is our lawgiver, Yhwh is our king; he will save us.
23 Nange long hninaw arui athawk teh, hote hnikhomnaw hah kacaklah kawm thai hoeh, hni hai kadai thai hoeh. Hatnavah, hmu e hnonaw hah kârei awh han. Khokkhemnaw ni patenghai lawp e hnonaw hah bout a lawp awh han.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 Haw kaawm e buet touh ni boehai, kai ka pataw, telah dei awh mahoeh. Hote hmuen koe kho ka sak e pueng teh, yon ngaithoum lah ao awh han.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
