Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh Jerusalem neh Judah lamkah tukcawt longkhawn neh conghol khaw, tukcawt buh boeih khaw, tukcawt longkhawn la aka om tui boeih khaw,
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
Hlangrhalh neh caemtloek hlang khaw, laitloek neh tonghma khaw, hlang aka bi neh patong khaw,
3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
sawmnga kah mangpa neh maelhmai rhim aka om khaw, olrhoep neh kutthai hlangcueih khaw, calthai aka yakming khaw a khoe pah coeng ke.
4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
Cadong rhoek te amih kah mangpa la ka khueh pa vetih, camoe hnatuem loh amih a taem a rhai uh ni.
5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
Pilnam te khat phoeiah khat, hlang loh amah hui taengah a tueihno ni. Camoe loh patong a hnaep vetih rhaidaeng la thangpom uh ni.
6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
Hlang loh a napa imkhui kah a manuca te a tuuk vetih, “Na himbai nen khaw, mamih ham rhalboei la om mai. Hekah a rhok a rhap he khaw namah kut ah ni a om coeng,” a ti uh ni.
7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
Tekah khohnin ah tah huel uh vetih, “Kai aka khit a om moenih, ka im ah buh khaw om pawh, himbai khaw om pawh, pilnam rhalboei la kai ng'khueh uh boeh,” a ti ni.
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
Jerusalem neh Judah te paloe coeng tih a ol dongah cungku coeng. A khoboe loh a thangpomnah kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA a koek coeng.
9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Amih maelhmai kah a hmaikhueh loh amamih te a doo. A tholh te Sodom bangla a doek tih phah pawh. Amih te yoethae neh a thuung thil dongah amih kah hinglu ngawn tah anunae.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
Amamih kah khoboe kah a thaih te a caak uh ham coeng dongah then coeng tila aka dueng taengah thui uh.
11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
Anunae halang kah thaehuet aih ke, a kut neh a tiing la amah taengah a saii pah ni.
12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
Ka pilnam te aka tueihno loh a poelyoe uh tih huta rhoek loh anih te a ngol thil uh. Ka pilnam aw, nang aka uem khaw kho a hmang uh coeng tih na longpuei caehlong a hmaang uh.
13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.
BOEIPA loh toe hamla pai coeng tih, Pilnam taengah laithui hamla pai coeng.
14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
BOEIPA tah laitloeknah dongah a pilnam patong rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek taengla pawk coeng. Nangmih loh misurdum na cahawp uh tih na im ah mangdaeng kah huenkoe om.
15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?”
Ba aih lae nang tloe tah? Ba aih lae nangmih tloe tah? Ka pilnam te na phop uh tih mangdaeng rhoek te a maelhmai ah na neet uh. Ka Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni he.
16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—
BOEIPA loh, “Zion nu rhoek te a sang uh dongah a olrhong te a yueng a yueng uh tih cet. A mik kilkoel neh pongpa uh tih cidoep cidoep cet uh. A kho dongkah hling cai mai neh,” a ti.
17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
Ka Boeipa loh Zion nu kah a luki te a vinhna sak vetih BOEIPA loh amih kah luhuem te a tlai sak ni.
18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
Tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa loh boeimang khocin rhui, lupong khaw, oihnun khaw,
19 their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
hnapha khaw khungpak neh hniboeng khaw,
20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
lukhuem neh khocin, haikang neh hinglu im khaw, calthai khaw,
21 their signet rings and nose rings;
kutcaeng neh hnarhong dongkah hnaii,
22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
boeimanghni neh bailoeng khaw, himbai neh sungkoi khaw,
23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
hmaidan khaw, hni khaw, sammuei khaw, lumuek hni khaw a khoe ni.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
Botui yueng la a bo aka hiik om ni, lamko yueng la hnithae, samtoel yueng la lungawng, hnithen yueng la tlamhni hnimuen, sakthen yueng la thiling te om ni.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
Na hlang rhoek cunghang dongah, na thayung thamal khaw caemtloek dongah cungku uh ni.
26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
A thohka rhoek khaw huei uh vetih nguekcoi neh khohmuen ah a kaksap la om ni.
