Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with wine.
Anunae, Ephraim yurhui rhoek kah rhimomnah rhuisam neh a boeimang kirhang kah tamlaep khaw tahah coeng. Te te laimen kolrhawk kah a lu ah misurtui neh a thoek uh dae ta.
2 Behold the Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious land.
Boeipa taengkah tlungluen neh rhapsat la aka om tah rhaelnu khohli, lucik hlithae, cingtui tui rhilh bangla a yo te khaw a kut neh diklai la a tloeng ni.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
Ephraim yurhui kah rhimomnah rhuisam te a kho hmuiah a taelh uh ni.
4 And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.
Laimen kolrhawk lu kah a boeimang kirhang rhaipai bangla aka hoo te khohal hlan kah thaihloe bangla om ni. Te te aka hmuh la aka hmuh dongah a kut nen khaw pahoi a dolh.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:
Tekah khohnin ah tah caempuei BOEIPA te, a pilnam aka sueng ham kirhang rhuisam la, boeimang cangen la om ni.
6 And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.
Laitloeknah dongah aka ngol ham tiktamnah mueihla la, caemtloek kah vongka ah aka mael tak kah thayung thamal la om ni.
7 But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.
Te rhoek khaw misurtui loh a palang sak. Khosoih neh tonghma khaw yu dongah taengphael uh. Yu dongah palang uh tih misur dongah bol uh. Yu dongah kho a hmang uh. Khohmu lamloh palang uh tih laitloek dongah lol uh.
8 For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.
Caboei tom te a lok kah a khawt baetawt la a hmuen tal.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.
Lungming la a thuinuet te unim, olthang aka yakming sak te unim? Rhangsuk lamloh tampo suktui aka kan te.
10 For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.
Olrhi soah olrhi te olrhi sokah olrhi neh, rhilam sokah rhilam te rhilam phoeikah rhilam neh hela vel, kela vel a ti.
11 For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.
Te dongah hekah pilnam he tamdaengtamkha kah hmuilai neh, ol tloe neh a voek ni.
12 To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and they would not hear.
Amah loh amih taengah, “Hekah duemnah dongah buhmueh rhahthih te duem saeh lamtah hilhoemnah he om saeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hnatun ham a ngaih uh moenih.
13 And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Te dongah BOEIPA ol loh amih taengah olrhi sokah olrhi patoeng loh, olrhi phoeikah olrhi a tloe loh, rhilam sokah rhilam loh, rhilam phoeikah rhilam pakhat loh hela vel, kela vel om ni. Te daengah ni cet uh vetih a hnuk la a palet uh eh. Te vaengah khaem uh vetih a hlaeh uh ni, a tuuk uh ni.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.
Te dongah saipaat Jerusalem kah pilnam aka ngol thil hlang rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te ya uh lah.
15 For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected. (Sheol h7585)
“Dueknah neh paipi ka saii uh tih saelkhui taengah khohmu khaw ka khueh uh coeng. Mueirhih loh lawngkaih rhuihet la a vikvuek tih pongpa khaw pongpa mai saeh, mamih taengla ha pawk mahpawh. Laithae he mamih kah hlipyingnah la n'khueh uh tih a honghi khuiah n'thuh uh coeng,” na ti uh. (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. Zion kah lungto, nuemnainah lungto aka tloeng khaw kamah ni he. Bangkil te lung vang tungkho a suen tih aka tangnah rhoek te tamto uh mahpawh.
17 And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.
Tiktamnah he rhilam la, duengnah te mikrhael la ka khueh ni. Hlipyingnah laithae te rhaelnu loh a hnut vetih a huephael tui a yo pah ni.
18 And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
Dueknah taengkah na paipi loh n'dawth vetih saelkhui taengkah na mangthui khaw thoo mahpawh. Mueirhih rhuihet loh vikvuek uh tih m'pah vaengah te kah a cawtkoi la na om ni. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear.
Te te ha pawk carhil nen te nangmih ngawn tah mincang, mincang ah n'loh ni. Khothaih ah khaw khoyin ah khaw m'pah vetih olthang n'yakming te tonganah la om ni.
20 For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.
Khawk sak hamla thingkong te a rhaem pah tih, a calui ham mueihloe te khaw a yaem pah.
21 For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.
Perazim tlang kah bangla BOEIPA te thoo ni. Gibeon kol kah bangla a bibi saii ham tlai ni. A bibi he lang tih a thothuengnah tah kholong kah a thothuengnah bangla thothueng ham ni.
22 And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.
Hmuiyoi voel boeh, namah kah kuelrhui loh m'ven ve. Khohmuen tom a boeihnah neh pha vitvawt he ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
Ka ol he hnakaeng lamtah ya uh lah, ka olthui he hnatung lamtah ya uh lah.
24 Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?
Lotawn ham lo aka yoe loh hnin takuem a yoe a? A khohmuen te a yawt tih a thoe ta.
25 Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?
A hman te a hnil moenih a? Tlangsungsing a phul tih sungsing khaw a haeh. Cang te a kok dongah a phung tih a rhibawn ah cangtun neh cangkuem a duen ta.
26 For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.
Anih te a toel vaengah a Pathen kah tiktamnah te a taengah a thuinuet pah.
27 For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.
Tlangsungsing te thingphael neh a boh tih sungsing te leng kho neh a kuelh thil moenih. Tedae tlangsungsing te caitueng neh, sungsing te conghol neh a boh ta.
28 But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
Buh khaw tip coeng dae a yoeyah la nook mahpawh. Te te a boh vaengah a leng kho neh a khawkkhek thil moenih. A marhang caem neh a tip sak moenih.
29 This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
He khaw caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni. Amah kah cilsuep tah khobaerhambae la ha pawk tih a lungming cueihnah a pantai sak.
