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.
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
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 wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up 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 shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with 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 all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit 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 hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter 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.
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA dawk runae poenae hnin, Zion kho hane kecu dawk moipathungnae kum lah ao.
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause 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.
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
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.
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever 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 shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of 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.
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
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.
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for 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.
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
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.
There also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
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 ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather 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.
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
