Isaiah 2
1 This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
Amoz capa Isaiah ni, Judah ram hoi Jerusalem hoi kâkuen lah a hmu e vision teh,
2 In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
a hnukteng e hnin teh, BAWIPA im saknae mon teh, monsomnaw e lathueng vah, tawm lah ao vaiteh, caksak lah ao han. Miphun pueng ni hote mon koe a kamkhueng awh han.
3 People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
Taminaw ni hai, tho awh. BAWIPA e mon, Cathut im koe cet awh sei. A lamthung hah na pâtu awh vaiteh, a lamthung dawn awh han, telah kahlawng cei laihoi ati awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk teh Zion mon hoi tâcawt vaiteh, Cathut lawk teh Jerusalem hoi a tâco han.
4 The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
Cathut ni miphunnaw hah lawkceng vaiteh, tami moikapap hah a yue han. Ahnimae tahloinaw hah thunha lah thoseh, tahroenaw hah tangkoun lah thoseh, a dêi awh han. Ram buet touh hoi buet touh tarankâtuk mahoeh toe. Taran tuknae hai kâpâtu awh mahoeh toe.
5 Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
Oe Jakop imthungnaw tho awh. BAWIPA angnae dawk khosak awh haw sei.
6 For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Jakop imthung, na taminaw hah na ceitakhai toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh, Kanîtholae naw patetlah kho a sak awh teh, Filistinnaw patetlah khueyue lah ao awh teh, ramlouknaw hoi a kâhuiko awh.
7 Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
Ahnimae ram teh sui ngun hoi akawi teh, a tawnta awh e teh touklek thai hoeh. Ahnimae ram hai marang hoi akawi teh, rangleng touklek thai hoeh.
8 Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
Ahnimae ram teh, meikaphawknaw hoi akawi teh, amamae kut hoi sak e hnonaw patenghai a lûsaling awh toe.
9 These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
Tami pueng ni a tabo awh teh, koung a kârahnoum sak awh. Hatdawkvah, ahnimae yonnae teh, BAWIPA ni ngaithoum hoeh.
10 Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
BAWIPA ni talai kahuet hanelah a tho toteh, takinae hoi a bawilen taluenae dawkvah, talung thung kâen awh, vaiphu thung kâhrawk awh.
11 Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, kâoupnaw rahnoum sak vaiteh, kâtalue e naw pabo vaiteh, BAWIPA duengdoeh tawm lah kaawm han.
12 The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
Rasahu BAWIPA e hnin teh, kârasang e hoi kâoup e tami pueng e lathueng thoseh,
13 He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
Lebanon mon e sidarkung ka rahnoum ka rasang e pueng koe thoseh, Bashan ram e kathenkungnaw pueng e lathueng thoseh,
14 He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
mon karasangpoung e lathueng thoseh, mon kathoung pueng e lathueng thoseh,
15 He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
Ka rasang e imrasang lathueng thoseh, rapan pueng e lathueng thoseh,
16 He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
Tarshish long pueng lathueng thoseh, ngai kaawm e vision pueng e lathueng thoseh a pha han.
17 The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Tami kâoupnae rahnoum sak vaiteh, a kârasangnae hah pabo lah ao han. Hat hnin dawkvah, BAWIPA dueng tawm lah ao han.
18 Idols will completely vanish away.
Kutsak pueng teh, khoeroe kahma han toe.
19 People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
BAWIPA ni talai a kahuet hanelah a tho toteh, takinae hoi a bawilen taluenae dawkvah, taminaw teh lungngoum thung, talai kâkhu thung a kâen awh han.
20 On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
Hatnae atueng dawkvah, taminaw ni ouk a bawk awh e sui hoi, ngun hoi ma hanelah raphoe sak e meikaphawk hah, thangbui hoi bongpinaw koe a tâkhawng awh han.
21 They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
BAWIPA ni talai kahuet hanelah a tho toteh, takinae, a bawilen taluenae dawkvah talung khu, ravonaw thung a yawng awh han.
22 Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
Hnawng hoi kâha e tami hah kâuep awh hanh. Ahnimouh teh, banghai cungkeinae awm hoeh.
