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.
You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
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.
Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
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 corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
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.
The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie tahloi teh, kalvan vah pâsu vaiteh, Edom ram dawk thoseh, kai ni thoebo e taminaw lathueng lawkcengnae hoi a kum han.
When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
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.
[It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in 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.
[Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA dawk runae poenae hnin, Zion kho hane kecu dawk moipathungnae kum lah ao.
That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
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.
The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
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.
Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel through it.
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.
Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
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.
There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
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.
The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
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.
Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
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.
Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its 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.
If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
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 has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
