< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh olka a hmuh.
2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
Hmailong kah a tue a pha vaengah BOEIPA im tlang te cikngae la om ni. Tlang dong neh som cawn vetih namtom boeih loh amah taengah hlampan uh ni.
3 And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Pilnam rhoek muep cet uh vetih, “BOEIPA kah tlang la cet uh sih, Jakob Pathen im te paan uh sih lamtah a longpuei te mamih n'thuinuet ni. Te daengah ni a caehlong ah m'pongpa eh. Olkhueng te Zion lamloh, BOEIPA ol tah Jerusalem lamloh ha thoeng ni.
4 Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
Namtom rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek vetih, pilnam te a cungkuem la a tluung ni. Te vaengah a cunghang te tuktong la, a caai te vin la a dae uh ni. Namtom loh namtom taengah cunghang muk uh voel mahpawh. Caemtloek khaw cang uh voel mahpawh.
5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Jakob imkhui halo lamtah BOEIPA kah vangnah khuiah cet uh sih.
6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
Na pilnam Jakob imkhui te na phap coeng. Khothoeng lamloh a et. Philisti bangla kutyaek a sawt uh tih kholong ca rhoek neh kut a paeng uh.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
A khohmuen ah ngun neh sui khaw bae tih a thakvoh khaw vawt pawh. A khohmuen ah marhang khaw bae tih a leng te bawt pawh.
8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
A khohmuen ah a kut dongkah kutsai mueirhol bae tih a kutdawn neh a saii te a bakop thil uh.
9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
Te dongah hlang he ngam vetih tongpa khaw kunyun ni. Tedae amih te dangrhoek boeh.
10 Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah hmai lamloh, amah kah mingthennah rhuepomnah lungpang te paan saeh lamtah laipi khuiah khaw vuei uh saeh.
11 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Hlang kah a oeknah mik tah kunyun vetih hlang buhuengpomnah khaw ngam ni. Te dongah te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah long ni a hoeptlang eh.
12 For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
Caempuei BOEIPA kah khohnin he thinthah neh aka pomsang boeih ham khaw, aka cangdoek neh kunyun boeih ham khaw om coeng.
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
Lebanon lamphai boeih, Bashan kah thingsang, thinglen thingnu boeih ham khaw,
14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
Tlang sang boeih ham khaw, som thang boeih ham khaw,
15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
Rhaltoengim sang boeih ham khaw, vongtung, vong cak boeih ham khaw,
16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
Tarshish sangpho boeih ham khaw, sahnaih kutmuei boeih ham khaw om coeng.
17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
Te dongah hlang kah a oeknah te a ngam sak vetih, hlang kah buhuengpomnah khaw a kunyun sak ni. Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah bueng ni aka sang eh.
18 and the idols will vanish completely.
Mueirhol rhoek khaw boeih khum ni.
19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Diklai he huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh amah mingthennah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang lungko neh laipi khui te a paan uh.
20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
Te khohnin ah hlang loh amah kah cak mueirhol, sui mueirhol khaw a voeih ni. A bawk ham te khothal la, pumphak la a saii uh.
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Diklai huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh a hoemdamnah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang thaelrhaep neh thaelpang thaelvap la pawk uh ni.
22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
A hnarhong neh aka hiil hlang te toeng laeh, anih te metlamlae a ngai aih.
