Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Judah siangpahrang, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah cae mah prae uk o nathuem ah, Amos capa Isaiah mah Jerusalem hoi Judah kawng pongah hmuen hnusakhaih to hnuk.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Jehovah has spoken. I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.
Aw vannawk tahngai oh! Aw long nang, tahngai ah! Angraeng mah, Caanawk to ka pacah moe, ka qoengsak tahang, toe nihcae mah kai laisaep o thuih.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know; my people does not consider.
Maitaw tae mah tawnkung to panoek, laa hrang mah doeh pacahkung ih lok maat; toe Israel mah loe kai to na panoek ai, kai ih kaminawk loe khopoek o ai, tiah thuih.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Jehovah. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They have gone away backward.
Aw kasae acaeng, zaehaih hoiah koi kami, kahoih ai hmuen sak koeh caanawk, kamro caa ah ni a oh o boeh! Nihcae mah Angraeng to caeh o taak, Israel Ciimcai kami to palungphui o sak moe, hnuk angqoi o taak ving boeh.
5 Why will ye still be stricken, that ye revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Tipongah nihcae to nganbawh kana ka paek aep loe? Tikhoe kanung aep ah na laisaep o loe? Na lu loe ahmaa caak boih boeh moe, na palung doeh thazok boih boeh.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
Na khokpadae hoi na lu khoek to cuemhaih ahmuen roe om ai; ahmaa caakhaih, athii kaduk hoi ahnai cing ah ni oh boeh; ahnai loe pasae ai, zaeng doeh zaeng ai, tasi doeh nok ai.
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Na prae loe pongsut boeh, na vangpuinawk doeh hmai hoiah thlaek o boih boeh; na lawknawk doeh na mikhnuk ah prae kalah kaminawk mah caak o boih boeh, prae kalah kaminawk mah paro o moe, kami doeh angqai krang boeh.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
Zion canu loe misur takha thung ih buk baktih, payae thaih patithaih takha thung ih buk baktih, takui khoep ih vangpui baktiah oh sut boeh.
9 Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah anghmat kaminawk to pathlung ai nahaeloe, Sodom baktiah ni a om o ueloe, Gomorrah hoiah anghmong o tih boeh.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Nangcae Sodom ukkungnawk, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh; nangcae Gomorrah kaminawk, kaicae Sithaw patukhaih lok to tahngai oh!
11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats.
Angraeng mah, pop parai ah nang paek o ih angbawnhaih hmuennawk loe kai hanah atho timaw oh? tiah thuih; hmai angbawnhaih ah sak ih tuu taenawk hoi kathawk parai moithawk hoiah zok kam hah boeh; kai loe maitaw taenawk, to tih ai boeh loe tuucaanawk, to tih ai boeh loe maehnawk ih athii pongah anghoehaih ka tawn ai.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts?
Ka hmaa ah nang zoh o moe, ka imthung ih longhma to cawh hanah nang zoh o naah, hae baktih hmuennawk sin hanah mi mah maw ang hnik o?
13 Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting.
Tidoeh avang ai hmuenpaekhaih to sin o hmah! Hmuihoih doeh ka panuet boeh; khrah kangthanawk, Sabbath hoi kaminawk amkhuenghaih doeh ka panuet boeh; kaciim amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah sethaih hoiah na sak o ih hmuen to ka pauep thai ai boeh.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
Nangcae ih khrah kangtha hoi na sak o ih poihnawk doeh ka hinghaih mah hnukma boeh; to baktih hmuennawk loe kai han raihaih ah ni oh, pauep loiah kang pho sut boeh.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
Lawkthuih han ban na payangh o naah doeh, mik kang tamuep o taak ving han; ue, pop parai ah lawk na thuih o cadoeh, kang tahngai pae o mak ai; nangcae ih ban loe athii hoiah koi.
16 Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
Nangmacae hoi nangmacae to tui hoi amsae oh loe, ciimcai ah om oh; na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk to ka hmaa hoi va oh! Hmuen kasae sakhaih to toengh oh,
17 Learn to do good. Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
kahoih hmuen to sak amtuk oh! Toenghaih to pakrong oh loe, pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to loih o sak ah; ampa tawn ai kaminawk to angdoe o haih ah loe, lamhmainawk to abom oh.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Vaihi angzo oh, nawnto kho poek o noek si, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; na zae o haih loe thim ding cadoeh, dantui baktiah anglung tih; kathim car ah om cadoeh, tuumui baktiah om tih.
19 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
Lok tahngaih na koeh o nahaeloe, prae thung ih kahoih koek hmuen to na caa o tih;
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
toe nang maak o moe, lok na aek o nahaeloe, sumsen hoiah na dueh o tih; Angraeng ih pakhaa mah thuih boeh.
21 How the faithful city has become a harlot! She who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
Oep kaom vangpui loe kawbangmaw tangzat zaw kami ah oh ving? Toenghaih hoiah kakoi, katoeng kaminawk to vangpui thungah oh o; toe vaihi loe kami hum kami ah oh o lat boeh!
22 Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
Na phoisa loe aek mah caak boih boeh moe, na misurtui doeh tui hoiah angbaeh boeh;
23 Thy rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They judge not the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
nang ukkungnawk loe laisaep thaih kami ah oh o moe, kamqunawk hoi amyok o boeh; ukkung angraengnawk loe tangqumta hoi paek ih bokhaih hmuen to koeh o moe, tangqum paekhaih to amtoemh o; nihcae mah ampa tawn ai kaminawk to angdoe o haih ai moe, lamhmainawk abomhaih tok doeh sah o ai.
24 Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies.
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Thacak Israel Sithaw mah, Ah, ka misanawk nuiah lu ka lak han boeh, ka misanawk pongah dawnrai ka tonghaih hoihkhang tih boeh, tiah thuih.
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.
Na nuiah ban ka phok moe, panuet thok aeknawk to kang pasaeh pae han, sum aek baktiah na qong ukhaih to kang ciimsak bang han.
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.
Nang lokcaek kaminawk loe kaom hmaloe hmuen baktiah ka ohsak moe, nang han kahoih poekhaih paek kaminawk to tangsuek nathuem ih baktiah ka ohsak let han; to pacoengah loe nang to, Toenghaih vangpui, oepthok vangpui, tiah na kawk o tih boeh.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
Zion loe toenghaih hoiah ka krang moe, vangpui thungah kaom dawnpakhuem kaminawk doeh toenghaih hoiah ka krang han.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
Toe zaehaih sak koeh kaminawk hoi zae kaminawk loe nawnto amro o hmaek tih, Angraeng pahnawt kaminawk loe amro o boih tih.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
Nangcae loe na koeh o ih oak thing pongah azathaih na tongh o ueloe, na qoih o ih takhanawk pongah mikhmai na sae o tih.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
Nangcae loe aqam kangmuen oak thing baktiah na om o ueloe, tui kaom ai takha baktiah na om o tih.
31 And the strong man shall be as flax, and his work as a spark. And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Thacak kami loe khawkqui baktiah om ueloe, anih ih toksah kami doeh kangqong hmai baktiah om tih; nihnik loe hmai mah kang hmaek tih, mi mah doeh paduek thai mak ai.
