< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shell 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 when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert 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 The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.
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 fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.
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 fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
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 fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.
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 vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
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 prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
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 rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to 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 For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.
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 Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird 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 Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.
Talai kahawi laikawknaw hoi a paw kara e misurkung hanelah, lungtabue ratum awh.
13 Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?
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 house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever. A joy of wild asses, the pastures 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 desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall 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 dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.
Hattoteh lannae teh kahrawngum vah ao vaiteh, lannae teh talai kahawi lawhmuen dawk a yungyoe ao han.
17 And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security 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 sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.
Ka taminaw hai roumnae hmuen, lungmawngnae hmuen hoi duem kâhatnae naw dawk ao awh han.
19 But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.
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 upon all waters, sending thither the foot 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.
