Isaiah 34
1 Oe! ramnaw, na thaithai awh nahanlah hnai awh haw. Oe! Miphunnaw, thai awh haw! Talai hoi talai dawk kaawm e hno puenghai thoseh, talai van hoi talai van thung kaawm e hno puenghai thoseh thai awh naseh.
O nations and peoples: draw near, and listen, and pay attention! Let the earth and its fullness hear, the entire world and all its offspring.
2 BAWIPA teh miphun pueng koe a lungkhuek dawkvah, a lungphuennae a hue teh ahnimae ransabawinaw koe a pha. Ahnimanaw hah raphoe vaiteh, theinae koe a poe han.
For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury is over all their armies. He has put them to death, and he has given them over to slaughter.
3 Ahnimouh thung hoi thei lah kaawm e ronaw hah alawilah tâkhawng dawkvah, hote ronaw dawk hoi a hmuikawk teh, ahnimae thi hoi monnaw teh a kamyawt.
Their slain will be cast out, and from their carcasses a foul odor will rise up. The mountains will languish because of their blood.
4 Kalvan e hnonaw puenghai a hmawn teh, kalvan teh cahna kalawng e patetlah kalawng lah ao. Hote kalvanlae hnonaw teh misur hna ka king e patetlah thoseh, thaibunglung dawk hoi a paw ka sarut e patetlah thoseh a sarut awh han.
And the entire army of the heavens will languish, and the heavens will be folded like a book. And their entire army will fall away, as a leaf falls from the vine or from the fig tree.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie tahloi teh, kalvan vah pâsu vaiteh, Edom ram dawk thoseh, kai ni thoebo e taminaw lathueng lawkcengnae hoi a kum han.
“For my sword in heaven has been inebriated. Behold, it will descend upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter, unto judgment.”
6 BAWIPA e tahloi teh thi a boum toe. Athaw, tuca hoi hmaeca e thi, tutan e kuen thâwnae hoi thâw sak toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bozrah kho dawk thuengnae pawi ao teh, Edom ram dawk puenghoi kâtheinae ao.
The sword of the Lord has been filled with blood. It has been thickened by the blood of lambs and he-goats, by the innermost blood of rams. For the victim of the Lord is in Bozrah, and a great slaughter is in the land of Edom.
7 Sakraknaw teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah a rawp awh han. Maitotancanaw teh maitotanpui hoi reirei a rawp awh han. Ahnimae talai teh thi a boum teh, ahnimae vaiphu hai athaw hoi akawi han.
And the single-horned beasts will descend with them, and the bulls along with the mighty. Their land will be inebriated by blood, and their ground by the fat of their lazy ones.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA dawk runae poenae hnin, Zion kho hane kecu dawk moipathungnae kum lah ao.
For this is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of retribution for the judgment of Zion.
9 Hote ram thung e palang tuinaw teh kattaya patetlah thoseh, haw e vaiphu teh gan patetlah thoseh, a kâthung vaiteh, hote ram pueng teh hmai ka kang e kattaya lah ao han.
And its torrents will be turned into tar, and its soil into sulfur. And its land will become burning tar.
10 Karum khodai hmai roum mahoeh. Hote ram hmaikhu teh, pou a khu han. Hote ram teh miphun catoun totouh tami kingdi vaiteh, nâtuek hai hote ram hah tami ni raka boi mahoeh toe.
Night and day, it will not be extinguished; its smoke will rise up without ceasing. From generation to generation it will remain desolate. No one will pass through it, forever and ever.
11 Mataw hoi kawrangnaw ni hote ram teh ao nah awh han. Bukbunaw hoi vonganaw hai hote ram dawk ao awh han. Hote ram dawk kâsanunae rui hoi hrawnghrang e bangnuenae a payang sin han.
The pelican and the hedgehog will possess it. And the ibis and the raven will live in it. And a measuring line will be extended over it, so that it may be reduced to nothing, and a plumb line, unto desolation.
12 Hote uknaeram dawk e bawinaw hoi kâkuen lah, hote ram hah ram doeh telah ka kaw e tami hote ram dawk awm mahoeh. Hote ram dawk e bawi kacue kanaw pueng teh ahrawnghrang lah ao awh han.
Its nobles will not be in that place. Instead, they will call upon the king, and all its leaders will be as nothing.
13 Ahnimae siangpahrang imnaw dawk pâkhingkungnaw hoi, ahnimae ramvengimnaw dawk pâkhing hoi benyetnaw a pâw han. Kahrawnguinaw hrampanae hmuen, tavakalauknaw onae hmuen lah ao han.
And thorns and nettles will rise up in its houses, and the thistle in its fortified places. And it will be the lair of serpents and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Ramke um e sarangnaw teh kahrawnguinaw hoi reirei ao han. Athanaw ni hai buet touh hoi buet touh lawk a kâpan awh han. Hote hmuen koe karum lae tavanaw ni hai amamouh kâhatnae hmuen a pâphawng awh han.
And demons and monsters will meet, and the hairy ones will cry out to one another. There, the ogress has lain down and found rest for herself.
15 Tahrun ni hai hote hmuen koe tabu tuk vaiteh, tadui tadui vaiteh, a ca a khe toteh, amae a tâhlip dawk a tabo sak han. Matawnaw nihai, hote hmuen koe kamkhueng awh vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh âvâ a kâyawng awh han.
In that place, the hedgehog has kept its den, and has raised its young, and has dug around them, and has kept them warm in its shadow. In that place, the birds of prey have joined together, one to another.
16 BAWIPA e a Cakathoung hah khen awh nateh, touk awh. Hotnaw thung dawk hoi buet touh boehai ceitakhai e awm mahoeh. Buet touh boehai hui tawn laipalah awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Bawipa e lawk dawk hottelah ati. Bawipa e Muitha ni hai ahnimanaw hah a pâkhueng sak.
Search and read diligently in the book of the Lord. Not one of them was lacking; not one has sought for the other. For what has proceeded from my mouth, he has commanded, and his very Spirit has gathered them.
17 Bawipa ni ahnimouh hanelah cungpam a rayu teh, a kut hoi rui a payang teh, ahnimanaw hah a rei. Ahnimouh ni hote ram hah a yungyoe râw lah pang awh teh, miphun catoun totouh hote ram dawk ao awh han.
And he has cast lots over them. And his hand has distributed this to them by measure. They will possess it, even unto eternity. From generation to generation, they will dwell in it.
