< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Judah hoi Israel kawng pongah Amoz capa Isaiah mah hnuk ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh.
2 And in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the summit of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
Hnukkhuem ni ah, Angraeng im ohhaih mae loe maesomnawk boih pongah sang tih, mae ranui koekah om ueloe, prae kaminawk boih to ahmuen ah angcuu o tih.
3 And many peoples will go, and they will say: “Let us approach and ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Pop parai kaminawk caeh o ueloe, Angraeng ih mae ah, angzo oh, Jakob Sithaw ih im ah caeh o tahang si; anih ih loklam ah a caeh o thai hanah, anih mah angmah ih loklam to aicae hanah patuek tih, tiah thui o tih; patukhaih lok loe Zion hoiah caeh tih, Angraeng ih lok loe Jerusalem hoiah caeh tih.
4 And he will judge the nations, and he will rebuke many peoples. And they shall forge their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they continue to train for battle.
Anih mah prae kaminawk salakah lokcaek ueloe, paroeai kaminawk to thuitaek tih; to naah loe nihcae ih sumsen to long atokhaih hanah patoh o ueloe, tayaenawk doeh cakoih ah sah o tih boeh; sumsen hoiah prae maeto pacoeng maeto muk o mak ai boeh, misa angthawk hanah doeh poek o mak ai boeh.
5 O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord.
Aw Jakob imthung takoh, angzo oh, Angraeng aanghaih ah amkae o si.
6 For you have cast aside your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled up, as in past times, and because they have had soothsayers as the Philistines have, and because they have joined themselves to foreign servants.
Jakob imthung takoh to na pahnawt sut boeh; nihcae loe ni angyae bang ih palunghahaih hoiah koi o, nihcae loe Philistin kaminawk baktih toengah hmabang angzo han koi hmuen thui kop kami ah oh o moe, prae kalah kaminawk hoiah amyok o boeh.
7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold. And there is no end to their storehouses.
Nihcae ih prae loe sui, sumkanglung hoiah koi moe, kroeklaek ai khoek to hmuenmaenawk a tawnh o; prae doeh hrangnawk hoiah koi moe, hrang lakoknawk doeh kroeklaek ai khoek to a tawnh o;
8 And their land has been filled with horses. And their four-horse chariots are innumerable. And their land has been filled with idols. They have adored the work of their hands, which their own fingers have made.
nihcae ih prae loe sakcop ih krang hoiah koi moe, angmacae ban hoiah sak o ih, angmacae banpazung hoiah sak o ih hmuennawk to a bok o.
9 And man has bowed himself down, and so man has become debased. Therefore, you should not forgive them.
To pongah kami mah lu takhum ueloe, kami maeto boih mah poekhaih to pahnaem o tih; nihcae to tahmen hmah.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in a ditch in the soil, from the presence of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
Angraeng hoi thacak a lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, thlungkhaw thungah akun oh loe, maiphu thungah anghawk oh.
11 The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
Anih mah amoek kami ih mik to pahnaem pae ueloe, kaminawk amoekhaih doeh pakhrawt pae tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih ani loe amoek kami, poeksang kami, amkoeh kaminawk boih nuiah om tih; nihcae to pakhrah tathuk ah om tih:
13 and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
kasang moe, amoek, Lebanon ih Sidar thingnawk boih, Bashan ih aok thingnawk boih,
14 and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;
maesangnawk hoi kasang maesomnawk boih,
15 and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;
misa toephaih imsangnawk boih hoi tapangnawk boih,
16 and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.
Tarshish ih palongpuinawk boih hoi khet kahoih krangnawk boih nuiah doeh om tih.
17 And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
Kami amoekhaih to pahnaem ueloe, kaminawk poeksanghaih doeh pakhrah pae tathuk tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
18 And idols will be thoroughly crushed.
Anih mah krangnawk to paro boih tih boeh.
19 And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi longkhaw thungah akun o tih.
20 In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.
To na niah loe kaminawk mah a bok o hanah sui, sumkanglung hoiah a sak o cop ih krangnawk to, thangbui hoi pungpihnawk vah hanah patoh o tih boeh.
21 And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi cathaengkhawnawk thungah cawn o tih.
22 Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
Angmah mah sak ih hnahkhaw hoiah takhi anghah kami oephaih to toengh o lai ah; anih loe avanghaih timaw oh?
