Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.
Ka pahren e misur takha hah, pahrennae la hoi a hmalah ka sak haw nei. Talai hawinae koe mon vah, ka pahren e misur takha buet touh ao.
2 And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Talai a tai teh, talungnaw a takhoe hnukkhu, kahawipoung e misurkung hah a ung. Takha thung ring nahanelah imrasang hai a sak teh, misur paw a paw han titeh a ngaihawi. Hatei, misur kaphawk bo oun ka paw aw.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Atuvah, Oe Judah khocanaw, Jerusalem khocanaw, kai hoi kaie misur takha rahak vah, laidei awh haw.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?
Kai takha koe hawinae ka sak thai nahlangva, ka sak hoeh rae ao ma aw. Misurpaw a paw han doeh titeh, ka ngaihawi nah, bangkongmaw misur kaphawk lah a paw vaw.
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down.
Atu thai haw. Kaie misur takha dawk ka sak hane kawi na patue avai. Tumdumnae rui payang e hah, ka raphoe vaiteh, ayâ alouke ni a ca awh han. Tumdumnae amhru tapang hah ka raphoe vaiteh, ayâ alouke ni a coungroe awh han.
6 And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Takha hah khoeroe ka raphoe han. Apinihai pathoup mahoeh. Apinihai vulai mahoeh. Pâkhing aphunphun a paw han. Hote takha dawk kho a rak hoeh nahanelah, kâ bout a poe han.
7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry.
Rasahu BAWIPA e misur takha teh, Isarelnaw lah ao teh, Judahnaw teh Bawipa ni a ngai e misurkung lah ao. Bawipa ni lannae hah a ngaihawi ei, khenhaw! kâtheinae hoi doeh akawi. Lannae yueng lah hramkinae doeh kaawm.
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
A hmuen houng sak laipalah, im touh hnukkhu im touh a pakaw awh teh, laikawk buet touh hnukkhu buet touh ka pakaw e teh a yawthoe. Hote laikawk lungui vah, nangmouh duengdoeh na kaawm awh han.
9 In my ears says Jehovah of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni kai koe a dei e teh, atangcalah, moikapap e imnaw heh, tami kingkadi e lah awm vaiteh, im kalennaw dawkvah, kaawm hane awm laipalah ao han.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Misurtakha ekah hra touh dawk misurtui um touh dueng a tâco vaiteh, cati hmuen hra touh tunae dawk hoi hai hmuen touh dueng a tâco han.
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
Na kahma awh toe! Yamu nei hanelah, amom na thaw awh teh, tangmin totouh misurtui na parui awh.
12 And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, nor have they considered the operation of his hands.
Nangmae canei pawi koe ratoung, tamawi, cecak, vovit, hoi misurtui hoi akawi. BAWIPA e kut hoi sak e hno hai na hmawt awh hoeh.
13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of knowledge, and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
Hatdawkvah, ka taminaw panuenae ayoun dawkvah pâlei lah ao awh. Ahnimae bari kaawm e naw teh, a vonhlam awh. Ahnimae taminaw teh tui kahran hoi ao awh.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure. And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Hatdawkvah, Phuen kho (Sheol) ni a ngainae a len sak teh, apâhni teh bangnue thai hoeh hane totouh a ang teh, Zion bawilennae hoi a taminaw teh, hrawang laihoi, ka lamtu e naw hoi reirei a kum awh han. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is debased, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled,
Tami teh pabo lah ao dawkvah, tami pueng teh a rahnoum awh han. Ka kâoupnaw e minhmai hai a rahnoum han.
16 but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
Ransahu BAWIPA teh, lawkcengnae lahoi tawm lah ao teh, Kathoung e Cathut teh, ama thoungnae hah lannae lahoi a kamnue sak han.
17 Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones.
Hatnavah, tucanaw teh, amamae pânae patetlah a pâ awh vaiteh a ca awh han. Dongdeng ka lamroenaw ni, tangrengnaw e caneinae hmuen koe, a canei awh han.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope,
Payonnae hah laithoe hradang hoi ka sawn e tami, yon hah rangleng rui hoi sawn e patetlah ka sawn e taminaw teh a yawthoe awh.
19 who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it. And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!
Ahnimouh ni, kaimouh ni ka hmu awh nahanelah Bawipa ni karang sak naseh. A thaw hah karang tawk naseh. Kaimouh ni ka hmu awh nahanelah, Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa ni rek hnai naseh. Tho naseh telah ouk a dei awh.
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Kathout hah kahawi, kahawi e hah kathout telah ka tet e tami, angnae hah hmonae, hmonae hah angnae, karadip hah kakhat, kakhat hah karadip ka tet e tami teh a yawthoe.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Amamae mithmu dawk teh, amamouh hah tami lungkaangnaw, panuenae katawnnaw telah ka tet e tami teh a yawthoe.
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink,
Misurtui neinae koe athakaawme taminaw hoi yamu sak kalawtnae koe athakaawme taminaw teh a yawthoe awh.
23 who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!
Ahnimouh teh, tadawngnae kecu dawk tami kathout hah tami kahawi telah ati teh, tami kalannaw e lannae law teh a takhoe awh.
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, hmaipalai ni cakong hoi phoke a kak e patetlah ahnimae a tangpha teh, kahmawn e patetlah ao dawkvah, ahnimae a pei hai vaiphu patetlah mungpoung han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh ransahu BAWIPA e kâlawk hah a takhoe awh teh, Isarelnaw e kathoungpounge Bawipa ni a dei e naw hah banglahai noutna awh hoeh.
25 Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them. And the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA teh a taminaw koe a lungkhuek teh, ahnimouh van a kut a dâw teh, runae a poe dawkvah, monnaw a kâhuet teh, ahnimae ronaw teh lamthungnaw dawk songnawng patetlah ao awh han.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will whistle for them from the end of the earth, and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.
Bawipa ni ahlanae hmuen koehoi a taminaw hanelah, mitnout a ung pouh teh, talai poutnae koe kaawm e naw hah pâhui laihoi a kaw. Hatnavah, khenhaw! Ahnimouh teh karang poung lah yawng laihoi a tho awh.
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them. None shall slumber nor sleep, nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken,
Ahnimouh dawk ka tawn e awm hoeh. Thongmui kamthui laihoi ka tâlaw e hai awm hoeh. Ka ngam e hai awm hoeh. Ka ip e hai awm hoeh. Taisawm kâratham hoeh. Khokkhawmrui hai pet hoeh.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
Ahnimae pala teh hruepatuecalah ao teh, licung teh sut patung e lah ao. Ahnimae marangnaw e khoktabeinaw teh, lungtaw hoi a kâvan telah pouk e lah ao teh, ahnimae taran tuknae ranglengnaw hai bongparui patetlah doeh ao awh.
29 Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
Ahnimae hramki lawk teh, sendek huk lawk hoi a kâvan teh, ahnimouh teh sendek patetlah a huk awh han. A rakoung e teh apinihai lawm thai mahoeh.
30 And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.
Hot hnin vah, ahnimouh teh tuipui e cairing lawk patetlah a cairing awh han. Buetbuet touh ni hote ram hah khen pawiteh, khenhaw! hmonae hoi runae duengdoeh kaawm. Angnae teh hote ram dawk tâmai kecu king a hmo han.
