< Isaiah 10 >

1 Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,
Anunae boethae oltlueh a tarhit tih, a daek khaw thakthaenah ni a daek uh.
2 to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.
tattloel kah dumlai te aka phaelh sak ham neh ka pilnam mangdaeng kah laitloeknah aka rhawth la om. Te dongah nuhmai te a kutbuem la a poeh sak tih cadah te a poelyoe uh.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
Cawhtnah tue vaengah balae na saii vetih khohla bangsang lamkah khohli rhamrhael ha pawk vaengah u taengah lae na rhaelrham eh? Bomnah ham neh na thangpomnah te melam na hnoo eh?
4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Hlongkhoh lakli ah a koisu vetih a ngawn yueng la a cungku sak ham phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.
Anunae Assyria aih, ka thintoek caitueng neh a kut dongkah a conghol khaw kai kah kosi lamni a om.
6 I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoils and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets.
Anih te namtom lailak taengah, ka thinpom te pilnam taengah ka tueih. Kutbuem buem ham neh maeh poelyoe ham khaw anih tih ka uen coeng. Te dongah anih te a dueh a dueh tih vongvoel kah dikpo bangla cawtkoi la om ni.
7 But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.
Tedae a lutlat toengloeng moenih a he, a thinko loh a moeh te khaw a thinko neh mitmoeng sak ham moenih a? Te dongah namtom a phit ham te a yolkai mai moenih.
8 “Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.
Ka mangpa ke manghai boeiloeih moenih a?
9 “Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
Kalneh Karkhemish bang moenih a? Khamath Arpad bang moenih a? Samaria Damasku bang moenih a?
10 As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Jerusalem lakah khaw, Samaria lakah ah khaw ka loh kut amih kah mueirhol neh mueidaep ram te a puei vanbangla,
11 and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”
Samaria neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van mahpawt a? Te dongah Jerusalem neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van ni.
12 So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
Tedae Zion tlang neh Jerusalem taengkah a bibi boeih te Boeipa loh mueluem a khueh vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah thinko mamlal thaih te khaw, a mik dongkah buhuengpomnah boeimang te khaw ka cawh ni.
13 For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.
Ka kut dongkah thadueng neh ka saii coeng tih ka cueihnah neh ka yakming dongah pilnam kah rhilung khaw ka thoeih coeng. A coekcoe la khohrhang rheth pah tih a lueng la kho aka sa te ka suntlak sak coeng.
14 My hand reached as into a nest to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth. No wing fluttered, no beak opened or chirped.’”
Pilnam kah thadueng te ka kut dongkah vaa bu bangla a hmuh tih, diklai pum kah a hnoo vaa duei a coi bangla kamah loh ka coi. Te vaengah a phae aka khong neh a ka aka ang tih aka cip om pawh,” a ti.
15 Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
Hai loh amah neh aka daeh soah kohang uh vetih, hlawh loh amah aka pom te thangpom thil saeh a? Conghol loh amah aka thueng te thing pawt mai akhaw conghol bangla thueng saeh a?
16 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts will send a wasting disease among Assyria’s stout warriors, and under his pomp will be kindled a fire like a burning flame.
Te dongah caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a putsut te pawtrhawt la, a thangpomnah khaw hmaisai bangla a rhong pah ni.
17 And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
Israel kah vangnah te hmai la, amah kah a cimcaih te hmaisai la poeh ni. Te vaengah a hling neh a lota te a dom vetih hnin at dongah a tlum sak ni.
18 The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
A duup kah a thangpomnah khaw, a hinglu lamkah a cangthai khaw pumsa duela a thok sak ni. Te vaengah aka ngoi loh a paci bangla anih te om ni.
19 The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.
A duup kah thing aka sueng te a yol tah camoe kah a tae la om rhung ni.
20 On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah Israel aka sueng khaw thap voel pawt vetih Jakob imkhui kah aka rhalyong long khaw amah aka ngawn soah hangdang voel mahpawh. Tedae Israel kah BOEIPA cim dongah ni oltak la a hangdang eh.
21 A remnant will return —a remnant of Jacob— to the Mighty God.
Aka sueng la, Jakob ko kah aka sueng te tah hlangrhalh Pathen taengla mael ni.
22 Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
Na pilnam Israel he tuipuei laivin bangla aka sueng om cakhaw khahoeinah a hlavawt tih duengnah loh a yo hlang tah mael ni.
23 For the Lord GOD of Hosts will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
A boeihnah dongah caempuei, ka Boeipa Yahovah aka hlavawt tah diklai pum kah a laklung ah a saii van ni.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria, who strikes you with a rod and lifts his staff against you as the Egyptians did.
Te dongah Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh, “Zion kah khosa ka pilnam loh Egypt khoboe bangla cungcik neh nang aka taam tih a conghol neh nang aka vuek Assyria te rhih boeh.
25 For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”
Tedae kolkalh rhuet ah ka kosi neh ka thintoek loh a khah vetih amamih kah tlumhmawnnah la om bitni.
26 And the LORD of Hosts will brandish a whip against them, as when He struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
Oreb lungpang kah Midian te rhuihet neh a hmasoe sak bangla, caempuei BOEIPA loh anih te a haenghang thil ni. Te vaengah Egypt khoboe bangla a conghol te tuipuei soah a thueng bal ni.
27 On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah na laengpang dongkah a hnorhih neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun han sawn vetih hnamkun te situi loh a pat sak ni.
28 Assyria has entered Aiath and passed through Migron, storing their supplies at Michmash.
Anih Ai la pawk tih Migron te a poeng tih Mikmash ah amah kah hnopai te a hal.
29 They have crossed at the ford: “We will spend the night at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.
Lamkai a paan uh vaengah mamih kah rhaehim Geba tah lakueng coeng. Saul kah Gibeah Ramah khaw rhaelrham coeng.
30 Cry aloud, O Daughter of Gallim! Listen, O Laishah! O wretched Anathoth!
Gallim nu loh na ol hlampan saeh, Anathoth mangdaeng te Laish loh hnatung saeh.
31 Madmenah flees; the people of Gebim take refuge.
Madmenah khaw yong coeng, Gebim khosa rhoek khaw bakuep coeng.
32 Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
Nob ah hnin at duem hamla Zion nu kah tlang neh Jerusalem som ah a kut a thueng ni.
33 Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts will lop off the branches with terrifying power. The tall trees will be cut down, the lofty ones will be felled.
Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a rhimom neh thingsam te a doi tih a sang la aka pomsang te khaw a vung coeng dongah aka sang rhoek tah kunyun uh ni.
34 He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
Duup khocak te thi neh a hum vetih Lebanon kah aka khuet te khaw cungku ni.
