< 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 you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you. When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
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.
Jehovah, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength 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 thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are 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.
Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 BAWIPA teh tawm lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a rasangnae hmuen koe ao teh, Zion kho hah kângingnae hoi lannae hoi a kawi sak.
Jehovah is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Bawipa teh nange tueng dawk na caknae, rungngangnae hnopai, lungangnae hoi panuenae lah ao han.
There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Jehovah is your treasure.
7 Khenhaw! Ahnimae ransanaw teh, lamthung dawkvah a hram awh. Lungmawngnae laiceinaw teh a khuika awh.
Look, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace 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 are desolate, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the witnesses; he has no regard for 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 land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
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 I will arise," says Jehovah; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
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.
You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will 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.
The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and 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, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who 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. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
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 who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil?
16 hote tami teh a rasangnae koe a tahung han. Ahnie a kâuepnae teh, talungmon ramvengim lah ao han.
he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 Na mit ni siangpahrang e meihawinae hah hmawt vaiteh, ahlanae koe e ram hai a hmu han.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
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.
Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who 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.
You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't 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 at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords 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 Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
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 Jehovah is our judge. Jehovah is our lawgiver. Jehovah 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.
Your rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took 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.
The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
