Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Hatei, runae khang hnukkhu hmonae dawk hoi ram teh a hlout awh han. Zebulun ram hoi Naphtali ram teh, ahmaloe vah kayanae kâhmo nakunghai a to hmalah teh, tuipui rai ceinae lamthung, Jordan palangpui namran lae, Jentelnaw onae Galilee ram totouh barinae a coe awh han.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
Hmonae thung ka cet kaawm e taminaw ni, kalenpounge angnae hah hmawt awh vaiteh, duenae ram thung kaawm naw koe angnae ni a tue han.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
Bawipa nang ni miphun hah na pung sak teh, ahnimae lunghawinae hah na pung sak pouh. Canga hnin patetlah lawp e hno kareinaw ni lunghawi e patetlah na hmalah ahnimouh ni a lunghawi awh.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Midiannaw koe na sak e patetlah ahnimouh ni aphu awh e hnori, hemnae bongpai, ka rektapnaw e tahroenaw hah BAWIPA nang ni na khoe pouh toe.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
Ransanaw e khokkhawm hoi thi kânep e khohna puenghai hmai koung sawi lah ao han.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh hanelah camo a khe toe. Maimouh hanelah capa buet touh na poe awh toe. Ahnie loung dawk uknae kâ ao han. Amin teh, Kângairu, Kâpokhaikung, Athakaawme Cathut, Yungyoe e Napa, Roumnae Bawi ti han.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.
A uknaeram roung vaiteh, lungmawngnae pout mahoeh. Siangpahrang Devit e bawitungkhung dawk tahung vaiteh, a ram hah a uk han. Atu hoi a yungyoe totouh, kalan lah a uk han. Rasahu BAWIPA ni a sak roeroe hanelah a ngainae ao.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
Bawipa ni Jakop miphun koe a lawk a poe teh, Isarelnaw koe a pha han.
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Amhru katim nakunghai, pathei tangcoung e talung hoi bout ka sak awh han.
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
Thailahei kungnaw teh ka rawm nakunghai, a yueng lah sidarkung ka ung awh han telah ka kâoup awh ni teh a lung kalen awh e Samaria khocanaw hoi Ephraim khocanaw pueng ni a panue awh han.
11 Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanelah, Rezin tarannaw hah a thaw sak teh, Ephraim e tarannaw hah a thaw sak dawkvah,
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
kanîtholah Sirianaw, kanîloumlah Filistinnaw ni a pahni ang awh vaiteh Isarelnaw hah a kei awh han. Hatei, a lungkhueknae teh roum hoeh, a kut teh pou a dâw.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
Hete miphunnaw teh runae kapoekung koelah kamlang a hoeh. Rasahu BAWIPA hah tawng panuek awh hoeh.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw koehoi lû hoi mai hai thoseh, samtue kang hoi pho hai thoseh hnin touh hoi a tâtueng han.
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
Lû teh matawng hoi bari kaawmnaw doeh. Mai hateh, laithoe ka dei e profet hah doeh.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Hete miphunnaw lam kapatuekungnaw ni lam a payon awh nahanelah lamthung a pâtue awh toe. Ka dawn e naw hai rawknae koe a pha awh han.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimae thoundounnaw hah BAWIPA ni a lungyouk hoeh. Naranaw hoi lahmainunaw hai pahren hoeh. Ahnimouh pueng teh, cathutlaipa e naw hoi tamikathoutnaw lah ao awh dawkvah, kamsoumhoehe lawk hah a dei awh. Hatdawkvah, a lungkhueknae roum hoeh, a kut teh pou dâw e lah ao rah.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Kamsoumhoehe teh hmai patetlah ouk a kak. Pâkhing aphunphun hah ouk a kamtawi sak. Ratu hai hmaisawi teh, akungnaw teh hmaikhu hoi parang a kâyat han.
19 Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
Rasahu BAWIPA e a lungkhueknae dawkvah, talai hmai a kak teh, talai taminaw teh hmai patawi nahane thing lah ao awh han. Hmau nawngha reira buet touh hoi buet touh kâpasai mahoeh.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Aranglah hoi ka bouk ei nakunghai, vonhlam mingming han rah. Avoilah hoi ka cat ei nakunghai, von paha mahoeh. Imri reira e moi hah tami pueng ni a ca awh han.
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manasseh miphun ni Ephraim miphun, Ephraim miphun ni Manasseh miphun hah a kâkei awh han. Hote miphun roi ni Judah miphun hah cungtalah a taran roi han. Hatei, a lungkhueknae teh roum hoeh, a kut teh pou a dâw rah.
