< Isaiah 22 >

1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
marangransanawHethateh, ayawn hoi kâkuen e vision doeh. Nangmouh pueng teh lemphu na luen awh nahanelah, nangmouh koe bang hno mouh ka tho vaw.
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.
Nang teh ka hrawang e kho, ka hramki e kho, ka kamlue e kho. Na tami ronaw teh, tahloi hoi kadout awh e nahoeh. Taran kâtuknae koe kadout awh e hai nahoeh.
3 All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
Na kahrawikungnaw pueng teh cungtalah koung a yawng awh. Ahnimouh teh licung sin laipalah, katek lah ao awh. Ahlanae koe a yawng awh eiteh, man e naw teh, cungtalah katek lah ao awh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, kai hah na khen hanh. Puenghoi ka kap haw nei. Ka miphunnaw e tanglanaw hoi kâkuen lah, kai hah lungpahawi hanelah kâcai awh hanh lah a, telah ka ti.
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; ...
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ransahu BAWIPA ni, vision hmunae ayawn dawkvah, paringparang lah onae, rektapnae, kâsanunae, kho rapan raphoenae, monnaw hramkinae hoi kâkuen e hnin teh a hmoun toe.
6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
Elam ram teh, rangleng ransa, marangransanaw hoi cungtalah caritpala a sin toe. Kir ram ni bahling hah a rasa toe.
7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
Na ngai poung e ayawnnaw teh taran tuknae ranglengnaw hoi a kawi. Marangransanaw teh longkha koe hmuen a la awh.
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 ram ni a kânguenae teh takhoe pouh lah ao toe. Hatnae tueng dawk nang teh, ratu im dawk e senehmaica hah na khen vaiteh,
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.
Devit kho dawk karawk ni teh katim e moikapap na hmu han. Nangmouh teh, akalae tuiim dawk e tui hai na pâtung awh han.
10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
Hathnukkhu, Jerusalem kaawm e imnaw hah na parei vaiteh, rapannaw hah kacaklah sak thai nahanelah, imnaw hah raphoe awh.
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.
Tuiim karuem dawk hoi tuinaw hanelah, tuiim hai rapan bokhni touh e rahak vah, a sak awh. Hatei, het naw ka sak e, nangmouh ni na khen awh hoeh, na panuek awh hoeh. Ayan hoi hote ka sak e haiyah, banglahai na ngai awh hoeh.
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:
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, khuika hanelah, sam ngaw hanelah, buri khohna hanelah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni na coun teh na hroecoe awh.
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.
Hatei, Khenhaw! Lunghawinae, maitonaw theinae, tunaw theinae, maitomoi canae, misur yamu neinae a sak awh teh, maimouh teh tangtho due awh han toung dawkvah, cat net awh sei, telah ati awh bo aw.
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.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, kaie ka hnâ dawk a pâpho e teh, atangcalah, nangmouh teh na due awh ditouh yontha lah na awm mahoeh, telah ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
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 Bawipa ransabawi Jehovah ni a dei e teh, tho nateh, hnokuemkung Shebna, ahni teh im ka ukkung lah kaawm e koe cet nateh,
16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
a rasangnae koe nama hanelah phuen tangkom tai nateh, ma o nahane hmuen hah talung dawk ka thuk e, nang teh hete hmuen hoi bangtelamaw na kâkuet teh, phuen tangkom hah nama hanelah na thuk nahanelah, hete hmuen koe nang teh api hoi maw na kâkuet.
17 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
Oe, athakaawme tami, BAWIPA ni nang teh, puenghoi na pâlei han. Nang hah kacaklah na man han.
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 hah pou na palet vaiteh, akawnae ram dawk na tâkhawng han. Nang teh hote ram dawk na due han. Hote ram dawk, nange lentoe ranglengnaw teh, na bawipa e imthungnaw hanelah, yeiraiponae lah ao han.
19 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
Na thaw dawk hoi na takhoe han. Na hmuen koehoi beng na sawn han.
20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
Hatnae hnin dawkvah, Hilkiah capa, ka san Eliakim hah ka kaw vaiteh,
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.
nange khohna hah, ahni ka khohna sak han. Na taisawm hai ka kâyeng sak vaiteh, nange kâtawnnae hah ahni kut dawk ka poe han. Ahni teh Jerusalem vah kaawm e naw hoi Judah miphunnaw e na pa lah ao han.
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.
Devit im e tho cabi hah, ahnie a loung dawk ka patue pouh han. Ahni ni a paawng vaiteh, apinihai khan thai mahoeh. Ahni ni a khan e teh apinihai paawng thai mahoeh.
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.
Kacake hmuen koe pâkhinae rui patetlah ka caksak han. Ahni teh a na pa e im dawk, bawilennae bawitungkhung lah ao han.
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.
Kawlung koehoi kamtawng teh, ailo manang pueng, hnopai e pueng, na pa imthung hoi catounnaw e bawilennae teh, ahnie van vah bang lah ao han.
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.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hatnae tueng dawkvah, kacak hmuen koe kaawm e pâkhinae rui teh, a hmuen koehoi puen vaiteh, thouk bouk vaiteh, a rawp han. Ahni van kaawm e hnokari hai takhoe lah ao han, telah Rasahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
