Esias 9
1 Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
Te cakhaw hlamat kah bangla anih taengah mangdaeng mangtok la Zebulun khohmuen kah, Naphtali khohmuen kah a tap khomu te om mahpawh. Tedae hmailong ah Jordan rhalvang neh namtom Galilee kah tuipuei longpuei te a thangpom ni.
2 O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
Hmaisuep ah pongpa pilnam loh khosae puei a hmuh coeng. Dueknah hlipkhup kho kah khosa rhoek te vangnah loh a tue coeng.
3 The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
Namtom te amah taengah na ping sak tih kohoenah neh na puel sak. Te dongah cangah vaengkah a kohoenah bangla, kutbuem a tael uh vaengkah a omngaih uh bangla na mikhmuh ah a kohoe uh.
4 Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
Midian tue vaengkah bangla anih kah hnamkun hnorhih neh a laengpang kah thingpang khaw, anih taengah aka tueihno mancai khaw na rhiyawp sak coeng.
5 For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
Hinghuennah dongah a nook khokhom boeih neh thii dongah aka bol himbai tah hmai aka ungkhang thut lam ni a poeh eh.
6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
Mamih ham camoe pakhat thang coeng tih mamih taengah capa pakhat m'paek coeng. Anih kah laengpang dongah barhan om tih, a ming te Khobaerhambae, Olrhoep, Pathen hlangrhalh, Dungyan Pa, Rhoepnah Mangpa, la a khue coeng.
7 His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgement and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
David ngolkhoel dongkah barhan rhoengnah neh rhoepnah tah bawt pawh. A ram te thoh sak ham khaw, tiktamnah, duengnah neh ram duel ham khaw Caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah loh kumhal duela a saii pawn ni.
8 The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
Boeipa loh Jakob taengah ol a tah tih Israel pum dongah cu.
9 And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
Pilnam loh a ming bitni, Ephraim pum neh Samaria kah khosa loh a hoemnah neh a thinko a mamlal la,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
“Laiboeng te cungku cakhaw lungrhaih neh n'khoeng bitni, thaihae te vung uh cakhaw lamphai thing n'ling uh bitni,” a ti.
11 And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
Tedae BOEIPA loh Rezin rhal te anih taengah a thaphoh pah tih a thunkha neh a khuk thil.
12 [even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
Khothoeng lamkah Aram, a hnuk lamkah Philisti loh, Israel te a ka ah a bae la a paem ni. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek te mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
13 But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
Pilnam he amah aka ngawn taengah khaw mael pawt tih Caempuei BOEIPA khaw toem uh pawh.
14 So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel te a lu neh a mai khaw, rhophoe neh canghlong khaw khohnin pakhat ah ni a rhaih eh.
15 the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
Patong neh maelhmai aka dang te a lu saeh lamtah a honghi neh aka thuinuet tonghma te a mai saeh.
16 And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
Pilnam kah a uem la aka om he khaw kho a hmang tih anih kah a uem rhoek te khaw a yoop uh coeng.
17 Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Te dongah a tongpang vaengkah te Boeipa loh a kohoe pah mahpawh. A lailak neh thaehuet boeih dongah a cadah neh a nuhmai rhoek te haidam pah pawh. Hlang boeih kah a ka loh boethae halang boeih a thui coeng dongah he a thintoek te mael voel pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
18 And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
Halangnah he hmai bangla lota khaw a dom tih hling khaw a hlawp. Duup kah khocak khaw a hlup tih hmaikhu kah rhimomnah a laep sak.
19 The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
Caempuei BOEIPA kah a thinpom loh khohmuen te a kolh vetih pilnam he hmaingen la poeh ni. Hlang loh a manuca te lungma ti mahpawh.
20 But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
Bantang ben ah hlap pah cakhaw lamlum pueng vetih, banvoei ben ah caak pah cakhaw hah uh mahpawh. Hlang loh amah kah a ban saa te a cilh ni.
21 For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Manasseh khaw Ephraim, Ephraim khaw Manasseh, a boktlap lah Judah a tlai thil. He boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
