Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Khenhaw! Siangpahrang buet touh ni lannae hoi a uk han. A kut rahim e bawinaw ni hai lannae hoi a uk awh han.
2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
Tami buet touh teh, kahlî a tho nah kânguenae patetlah thoseh, thingyei yawn dawk e palang patetlah thoseh, ngawt tawnnae koe lungsong e a tâhlip patetlah thoseh ao han.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken;
Kahmawtnaw e mit kacaipanlah a hmu awh han. Ka thai e tami pueng ni hai a hnâ a pakeng awh han.
4 and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Lungtawtnae lung hoi ouk ka kâroe e ni hai a thaipanuek han. A lawk ka patak e ni hai kamcengcalah a dei thai hanelah coungkacoe ao.
5 The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:
Tamipathu hah ka talue e telah thoseh, a lai kathout kamhnawng e hah bari kaawm e tami telah thoseh, bout kaw mahoeh toe.
6 for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut laipalah tawksak nahanelah, BAWIPA e kong hah laithoe lah dei nahanelah, vonhlamrincinaw e lungngai pakuep pouh laipalah paktha nahane hoi, tui kahran e hah tui pânei hoeh nahanelah, tamipathu ni pathunae hah a dei teh, ahnie lungthin ni yonnae sak hanelah a pouk
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
A lai kathout kamhnawng naw hanelah senehmaica teh yonnae hah doeh. Mathoenaw e kâheinae teh thuem pawiteh, mathoenaw hah laithoe lahoi raphoe nahanelah, ahni ni kathoute pouknae hah ouk a pouk.
8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.
Hatei, ka talue e taminaw niteh, ka talue e pouknae hah a pouk teh, ka talue e naw hah a kangduekhai.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.
Awpawp kaawm e napuinaw, thaw awh haw. Kaie lawk hah thai awh haw. Mahoima lungkayouk e napuinaw, ka lawk hah thai awh haw.
10 In a year and [some] days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
Mahoima lungkayouk e napuinaw, nangmouh teh hnin touh, kum touh thung na pâyaw awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, misurpaw khinae a pâpout awh han. A paw khinae tue phat mahoeh.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins!
Awpawp kaawm e napuinaw, taki hoi pâyaw awh haw. Mahoima lungkayouknaw, khohna rading teh, tawngtai lah o hnukkhu, buri hah kâyeng awh haw.
12 They shall smite on the breasts [in lamentation] for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards.
Talai kahawi laikawknaw hoi a paw kara e misurkung hanelah, lungtabue ratum awh.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
Pâkhing tangdunnaw ni a yawngyen e ka taminaw e talai hane hoi kamthang e kho thung hoi lunghawinae hoi kakawi e im pueng hanelah a tho.
14 For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Siangpahrang im teh ceitakhai lah ao teh, tami alumnae kho teh hnoun lah ao toe. Imrasang hoi onae imnaw teh, sarang khu lah a yungyoe ao teh, la kacuetnaw hoi tunaw ni hrampanae hmuen lah ao han.
15 until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Kalvan hoi Muitha hah maimouh van a awi teh, ramke teh talai kahawi patue nahane kahawicalah a coung teh, talai kahawi lawhmuen teh ratu telah ti hnin totouh ao han.
16 And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field.
Hattoteh lannae teh kahrawngum vah ao vaiteh, lannae teh talai kahawi lawhmuen dawk a yungyoe ao han.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
Lannae ahawinae teh, lungmawngnae lah ao teh, lannae ni a thokhai e teh, a yungyoe roumnae hoi lungmawngnae lah doeh ao.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
Ka taminaw hai roumnae hmuen, lungmawngnae hmuen hoi duem kâhatnae naw dawk ao awh han.
19 And it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
Hatei, ratu teh talai dawk rep a tabo teh, kho hai talai hoi sue touh lah a rawk toteh, rounnaw a bo han.
20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
Tui onae hmuen pueng koe cati kahei vaiteh, maito e khok hoi la khok naw ka tha e nang teh na yawhawi awh.
