Isaiah 22
1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
Kolrhawk ham olrhuh, na imphu tom ah na yoeng thil na taengkah olphong te melae?
2 You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
Pang ol loh khopuei ah a bae la khorha te hue a sak thil. Na rhok neh aka yalpo te cunghang kah a ngawn pawt tih caemtloek kah a duek sak moenih a?
3 All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
Na rhalboei rhoek te lii om kolla rhenten boeih yong uh coeng. Nang aka hmu rhoek te boeih a khih uh coeng. Khohla kah aka yong rhoek te rhenten a khih uh coeng.
4 For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
Te dongah, “Kai taeng lamloh mangthong uh laeh. Rhah nen khaw ka phaep uh mai eh. Ka pilnam tanu kah rhoelrhanah dongah kai hloep hamla taholh uh thae boeh.
5 For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taengkah soekloeknah, tilnoinah neh tingtongnah khohnin, kolrhawk kah olphong dongah tah pangbueng te a phuet tih tlang te a o.
6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
Elam loh liva neh marhang caem hlang leng hang khuen tih Kir loh photling a dul.
7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
Na tuikol hmuennaep aka om khaw leng loh a baetawt thil marhang caem loh vongka ah tawn la tawn uh coeng.
8 He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
Judah kah himbaiyan te a lim coeng. Tekah khohnin ah duup im kah lungpok haica te na paelki coeng.
9 And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
David khopuei kah a ueth hma na hmuh te yet coeng dae tuibuem dang kah tui te na coi.
10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
Jerusalem kah im te khaw na tae uh tih vongtung na tuung ham im te na phil uh.
11 And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
Tuibuem rhuem kah tui ham te vongtung laklo ah tui-im na saii uh. Tedae te aka saii te na paelki uh pawh. Te aka hlinsai daengrhae te na hmu uh pawh.
12 And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
Rhah ham neh rhaengsae ham khaw, lungawng la tlamhni yil ham khaw tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah a khue coeng.
13 But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
Saelhung top ham neh boiva ngawn ham, maeh caak ham neh misurtui ok ham tah omngaihnah neh kohoenah la, “Ca sih lamtah o sih, thangvuen kah ham tah n'duek uh hae pawn ni he,” na tiuh.
14 And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
caempuei BOEIPA loh ka hna dongah han dueh coeng. Nangmih kah thaesainah he na duek uh duela han dawth mahpawh. Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh a thui coeng.
15 The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah im kah hmaiben lah Shebna te paan laeh.
16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
Nang taengkah he balae? Na taengkah he u bang nim? Namah ham tah he ah he phuel na vueh tih, anih kah phuel tah hmuensang ah na vueh pah aih. Anih ham tah pohmuen khaw thaelpang dongah na tarhit pah.
17 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
BOEIPA tah nang aka hut tih hlang aka hlak neh nang aka buem la aka buem ham om coeng.
18 Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
Nang te palung hluem bangla n'kolong la, n'kolong ni. Khohmuen kah khocaeh dangka ah hnap na duek vetih na thangpomnah leng neh na boeipa kah im te yahpohnah om ni.
19 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
Nang te na rhaltawt hmuen lamloh kan thaek vetih na ngolhmuen lamloh nang kan koengloeng ni.
20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Hilkiah capa Eliakim te ka sal la ka khue ni.
21 And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
Na angkidung te anih ka bai sak vetih na lamko neh anih ka talong ni. Na khohung te anih kut dongah ka paek vetih Jerusalem kah khosa ham neh Judah imkhui kah a napa la om ni.
22 And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
David im kah cabi te anih kah laengpang dongah ka paek ni. A ong vetih kalh voel mahpawh, a khaih coeng te tah ong uh mahpawh.
23 And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
Anih te hmuen cak ah ciphuem neh ka khing vetih a napa im ham thangpomnah ngolkhoel la om ni.
24 And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
A napa im kah thangpomnah boeih, cadil cahma neh a rhuirhong, hnopai a dikhnawn boeih, baeldung neh umam, tuitang neh baelyak boeih te anih a oi sak ni.
25 In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
Te khohnin ah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong loh, amah hmuen ah khak a khing hlingcong tah phoek pawn ni. Tlawt bal vetih colh pawn ni. Te vaengah a pum dongkah hnorhih a hal ni. BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
