Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, 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 pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned 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 An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.
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 Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.
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 For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.
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 the foot, even to the top of the head, there is no soundness within. Wounds and bruises and swelling sores: these are not bandaged, nor treated with medicine, 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 have been set ablaze. Foreigners devour your countryside in your sight, and it will become desolate, as if devastated by enemies.
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 will be left behind, like an arbor in a vineyard, and like a shelter in a cucumber field, and like a city being laid to waste.
Zion nu misur dum kah poca bangla, uitang lo kah tlak bangla, khopuei a dum bangla hoei sut coeng,” a ti.
9 If the Lord of hosts had not bequeathed us offspring, we would have been like Sodom, and we would have been comparable to Gomorrah.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh mamih he rhaengnaeng la bet n'hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla ng'om vetih Gomorrah bangla n'lutlat uh ni.
10 Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.
Sodom rhalboei rhoek BOEIPA olka te ya uh lah. Gomorrah pilnam loh mamih Pathen kah olkhueng te hnakaeng thil lah.
11 The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-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 approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in 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 You should no longer offer sacrifice in vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous.
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 My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure 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 And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of 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, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.
Sil uh lamtah cim uh. Na khoboe thaenah khaw khoe uh lamtah ka mikhmuh lamkah thaehuet te toeng uh.
17 Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend 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 And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white 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 bok ni,” a ti.
19 If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.
Na huem uh tih na hnatun uh atah khohmuen kah a thennah te na caak uh ni.
20 But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Tedae na aal tih na koek uh atah BOEIPA ol a thui coeng dongah cunghang na yook uh ni.
21 How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.
Khorha cakrhuet, tiktamnah neh aka bae te balae tih pumyoi la poeh. Duengnah khaw a khuiah rhaehrhong dae hlang a ngawn coeng.
22 Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.
Nangmih kah ngun te aek la poeh tih na yuhuem khaw tui neh poek uh coeng.
23 Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought 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 Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.
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 And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.
Nangmih taengah ka kut kan thuung ni. Te vaengah na khen te lunghuem neh ka dung vetih na ti boeih ka khong ni.
26 And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, 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 in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.
Zion te tiktamnah neh a lat vetih duengnah neh ha mael ni.
28 And he shall crush the accursed and sinners together. And those who have abandoned the Lord will be consumed.
Tedae boekoek rhoek neh BOEIPA aka hnoo hlangtholh rhoek tah pocinah loh rhenten a khah ni.
29 For they shall be confounded because of the idols, to which they have sacrificed. And you shall be ashamed over the gardens that you chose,
Thingnu na nai uh te yak vetih, dum na tuek uh dongah khaw na hmai tal uh ni.
30 when you were like an oak with falling leaves, and like a garden without water.
Rhokael te a hnah a hoo bangla, tui loh dum te a kaktah bangla na om uh ni.
31 And your strength will be like the embers from stubble, and your work will be like a spark, and both will burn together, and there will be no one to extinguish it.
Aka tlung khaw malpawt la, a bisai te hmaidi la poeh ni. Te vaengah a boktlap la rhenten a dom vetih thih uh mahpawh.
