Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda.
Judah manghai rhoek Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz neh Hezekiah tue vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh a mangthui a hmuh.
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised 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 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath 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 the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone 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 shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
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 unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented 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 are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted 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 Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
Zion nu misur dum kah poca bangla, uitang lo kah tlak bangla, khopuei a dum bangla hoei sut coeng,” a ti.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh mamih he rhaengnaeng la bet n'hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla ng'om vetih Gomorrah bangla n'lutlat uh.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
Sodom rhalboei rhoek BOEIPA olka te ya uh lah. Gomorrah pilnam loh mamih Pathen kah olkhueng te hnakaeng thil lah.
11 To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck 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 came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should 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 Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
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 hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing 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 when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: 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 yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
Sil uh lamtah cim uh. Na khoboe thaenah khaw khoe uh lamtah ka mikhmuh lamkah thaehuet te toeng uh.
17 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, 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 come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as 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 om ni,” a ti.
19 If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall 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 will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Tedae na aal tih na koek uh atah BOEIPA ol a thui coeng dongah cunghang na yook uh ni.
21 How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
Khorha cakrhuet, tiktamnah neh aka bae te baelae tih pumyoi la poeh. Duengnah khaw a khuiah rhaehrhong dae hlang a ngawn coeng.
22 Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
Nangmih kah ngun te aek la poeh tih na yuhuem khaw tui neh poek uh coeng.
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow’s cometh not in to 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 Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
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 thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy 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 thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a 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 Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
Zion te tiktamnah neh a lat vetih duengnah neh ha mael ni.
28 And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
Tedae boekoek rhoek neh BOEIPA aka hnoo hlangtholh rhoek tah pocinah loh rhenten a khah ni.
29 For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
Thingnu na nai uh te yak vetih, dum na tuek uh dongah khaw na hmai tal uh ni.
30 When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as 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 shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench 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.
