Isaiah 1
1 This is the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Judah manghai rhoek Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz neh Hezekiah tue vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh a mangthui a hmuh.
2 Listen, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.
Vaan rhoek loh ya uh lamtah diklai long khaw hnakaeng saeh. BOEIPA loh, “Ka ca rhoek he ka pantai sak tih ka pomsang coeng dae, amamih long ni kai taengah boe a koek uh.
3 The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.”
Vaito loh amah aka lai te a ming tih laak long a boei kah kongduk te a hmat. Ka pilnam Israel loh ming voel pawt tih yakming voel pawh.
4 Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children of depravity! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.
A nunae, namtom laihmuh aih, thaesainah loh a payawk pilnam, thaehuet kah tiingan, poci kah a ca rhoek, BOEIPA te a hnoo uh tih Israel kah aka cim te a tlaitlaek dongah a hnuk la kholong uh coeng.
5 Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.
Balae tih koep kang ngawn eh? Koeknah te na koei uh tih na lu te a tlohtat kak la, na thinko boeih khaw hal coeng.
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and festering sores neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil.
A kho khopha lamloh a lu due hlang la om voel pawh. A tloh neh a hma, hmasoe a haeng khaw yawt uh pawt tih poi uh pawh, situi nen khaw yaih sak pawh.
7 Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you— a desolation demolished by strangers.
Na khohmuen te khopong la om coeng. Na khopuei rhoek hmai neh a hoeh coeng. Na diklai khaw na mikhmuh ah kholong loh han caak coeng. Te dongah khopong neh imrhong- bangla a kholong boeih coeng.
8 And the Daughter of Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a city besieged.
Zion nu misur dum kah poca bangla, uitang lo kah tlak bangla, khopuei a dum bangla hoei sut coeng,” a ti.
9 Unless the LORD of Hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh mamih he rhaengnaeng la bet n'hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla ng'om vetih Gomorrah bangla n'lutlat uh.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
Sodom rhalboei rhoek BOEIPA olka te ya uh lah. Gomorrah pilnam loh mamih Pathen kah olkhueng te hnakaeng thil lah.
11 “What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
Nangmih hmueih aka khawk te kai ham ee te? BOEIPA loh, “Hmueihhlutnah tutal, puetsuet kah a tha, vaito thii, tuca neh kikong loh n'lawt tih ka ngaih moenih.
12 When you come to appear before Me, who has required this of you— this trampling of My courts?
Kai mikhmuh ah phoe hamla na pawk uh vaengah na kut dongkah he unim aka suk tih kai kah vongup nan taelh uh.
13 Bring your worthless offerings no more; your incense is detestable to Me— your New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot endure iniquity in a solemn assembly.
A Poeyoek la khocang nang khuen neh ng'koei boeh. Bo-ul khaw kai ham tueilaehkoi ni. Hlasae neh Sabbath ah tingtunnah a khue te khaw, boethae neh pahong khaw ka ueh thai pawh.
14 I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
Nangmih kah hlasae neh na tingtunnah te ka hinglu loh a hmuhuet tih, kai ham laipuei la a poeh dongah ka phueih ka ngak.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
Na kut na phuel uh vaengah nangmih taeng lamloh ka mik vik ka him ni. Thangthuinah loh puh cakhaw na kut ah hlang thii a bae dongah ka hnatun mahpawh.
16 Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!
Sil uh lamtah cim uh. Na khoboe thaenah khaw khoe uh lamtah ka mikhmuh lamkah thaehuet te toeng uh.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”
Voelphoeng hamla cang uh. Tiktamnah te tlap. Hlang hnaepnah te toel uh. Cadah te rhuun uh lamtah, nuhmai ham te oelh pah.
18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.
Ha mop uh lamtah tluung uh thae pawn sih. BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih kah tholhnah te lingdik bangla om cakhaw vuel bangla om ni. Talam bangla thimyum cakhaw tumul bangla om ni,” a ti.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.
Na huem uh tih na hnatun uh atah khohmuen kah a thennah te na caak uh ni.
20 But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”
Tedae na aal tih na koek uh atah BOEIPA ol a thui coeng dongah cunghang na yook uh ni.
21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!
Khorha cakrhuet, tiktamnah neh aka bae te baelae tih pumyoi la poeh. Duengnah khaw a khuiah rhaehrhong dae hlang a ngawn coeng.
22 Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.
Nangmih kah ngun te aek la poeh tih na yuhuem khaw tui neh poek uh coeng.
23 Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.
Na mangpa rhoek a thinthah uh tih a pum la hlanghuen neh hui uh thae. Kapbaih a lungnah tih kapbaih ni a. hloem. Cadah te laitloek pa uh pawt tih nuhmai kah tuituknah khaw amamih taengah phoe puei pawh.
24 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “Ah, I will be relieved of My foes and avenge Myself on My enemies.
Te dongah caempuei Boeipa, Yahovah, Israel kah samrhang olphong loh, “A nunae, Ka thunkha rhoek soah phu ka loh daengah ni ka rhal rhoek taengah dam ka ti pueng eh.
25 I will turn My hand against you; I will thoroughly purge your dross; I will remove all your impurities.
Nangmih taengah ka kut kan thuung ni. Te vaengah na khen te lunghuem neh ka dung vetih na ti boeih ka khong ni.
26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as at the beginning. After that you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”
Na laitloek te hnukbuet kah bangla, na olrhoep khaw lamhma kah bangla kan thuung ni. Tahae lamkah tah nang te duengnah khopuei, uepom khorha la ng'khue ni.
27 Zion will be redeemed with justice, her repentant ones with righteousness.
Zion te tiktamnah neh a lat vetih duengnah neh ha mael ni.
28 But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.
Tedae boekoek rhoek neh BOEIPA aka hnoo hlangtholh rhoek tah pocinah loh rhenten a khah ni.
29 Surely you will be ashamed of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
Thingnu na nai uh te yak vetih, dum na tuek uh dongah khaw na hmai tal uh ni.
30 For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, like a garden without water.
Rhokael te a hnah a hoo bangla, tui loh dum te a kaktah bangla na om uh ni.
31 The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.
Aka tlung khaw malpawt la, a bisai te hmaidi la poeh ni. Te vaengah a boktlap la rhenten a dom vetih thih uh mahpawh.
