Isaiah 8
1 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni, ca thut nahane a phen kalen e buet touh lat nateh, Maher-shalal-hash-baz telah ca cung hoi thut loe ati. Hot hateh, hno lawpnae hoi karangpoung lah raphoe haw tinae doeh.
Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 Hat toteh, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahanlah, yuemkamcu e kahni touh, vaihma Uriah hoi Jeberkhiah capa Zekhariah tinaw hah ka kaw toe.
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Hathnukkhu, profetnu koe ka cei teh camo a von teh, ca tongpa a khe. BAWIPA ni a min teh, Maher-sahalal-hash-baz phung loe ati.
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote camo ni anu apa telah a kaw thai hoehnahlan, Damaskas e bawinae hnopai hoi Samaria koe lawp e hnopainaw teh, Assiria siangpahrang ni koung na lawp awh han ati.
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni, hete taminaw ni yutyut kalawng e Shiloh palang hah a pahnawt awh teh,
The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
6 Rezin hoi Remaliah capanaw koe a lunghawi awh dawkvah,
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 ransahu hoi cungtalah Assiria siangpahrang a thakaawmpounge palang tui hoi ahnimanaw teh koung ka ramuk sak han. Hote tui ni palang tuiko hoi rangoum pueng dawk muen kawi vaiteh,
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 Judah ram muen the vaiteh, lahuen totouh a ramuk han. A ratheinaw hah kadai vaiteh a ram hah koung a ramuk han. Oe Immanuel, telah ati.
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach [even] to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 Oe taminaw, kamkhueng awh nateh taket awh haw. Ram hlanae koe e taminaw, na hnâpakeng awh haw. Taran kâtuk hanelah, kârakueng awh nateh, taket awh haw.
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Kâpan awh haw, na pouknae teh banglahai tho mahoeh. Lawk tâtueng awh haw, cak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaimouh hoi ao.
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us.
11 Hete miphunnaw ni a dawn awh e lamthung ka dawn hoeh nahanlah BAWIPA ni lawk na dei pouh e teh,
For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 hete taminaw e kamkhuengnae koe kamkhueng van hanh. Ahnimouh ni a taki awh e hah taket van hanh, puen awh hanh.
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Rasahu BAWIPA hah bari awh. Ahni dueng maha taket awh nateh, puen awh.
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.
14 Hottelah na sak pawiteh, ahni teh, nang ni na kângue e lah awm vaiteh, Isarel ram thung kaawm naw hoi Jerusalem kho thung kaawm naw hanelah, rawpnae talung, kamthuinae talung tangkhek hoi karap lah ao han.
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Hahoi hawvah tami kapap ni a kamthui awh han. Rawm awh vaiteh a rek awh han. Kâman awh vaiteh man lah ao awh han.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Hete lawkpanuesaknae hah ka hnukkâbangnaw koe tangoung nateh kâlawk hah tacikkin haw.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 Jakop imthung koe minhmai ka hrawk e BAWIPA hah kai niteh, ka ngaihawi han.
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Kai hoi BAWIPA ni na poe e camonaw heh, Zion mon kaawm e ransahu BAWIPA koehoi e Isarelnaw hanelah, mitnoutnae hoi noutnae lah ao.
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Lawk duemduem hoi sipsap sipsap ka dei e kutkhetkathoumnaw hoi khueyuenaw koe cet awh tet awh pawiteh, taminaw ni amamae Cathut koe pacei kawi nahoehmaw. Kahringnaw ni kadoutnaw koe pacei kawi na maw.
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 Cangkhainae hoi lawkpanuesaknae hah thai awh haw. Ahnimouh ni a dei awh e teh, lawk dawk nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh koe khodai hoeh rah.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
21 Ram thungvah, lungpout hoi vonhlam hoi a kâva awh han. A vonhlam awh toteh, mahoima runae a kâpoe awh vaiteh, amamae siangpahrang hoi amamae Cathut hah thoebo awh.
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 Hahoi, kahlun lah a moung awh han. Talai lah a khet awh nakunghai, runae hoi hmonae duenghoi akawi. Angnae ohoehnae koe, khohmo thung doeh kâen awh tih toe.
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.
