Isaiah 3
1 Take a look! The Lord, the Lord Almighty, is going to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah everything they rely on—all their stocks of food and all means of supplying water,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Rasahu Bawipa Jehovah ni rawca hoi tui kabawpnae puenghoi, kabawpnae kaawm e pueng hah Jerusalem kho hoi Judah ram thung hoi a takhoe toe.
2 their strong fighters and soldiers, leaders and prophets, fortune-tellers and elders,
Athakaawme tami, taran ka tuk e tami, lawkcengkung, profet, khueyue, matawng,
3 army captains, state officials, counselors, craftsmen, masters of magic, and experts in the occult.
tami 50 ka uk e, barilawa kaawm e tami, kâpokhai, kut taran kahawi, pahni taran kahawi e pueng a takhoe han.
4 I will give them boys as their leaders who will rule over them in childish ways.
Hote ram dawk camonaw ni, bawi thaw tawk awh vaiteh, sanu ka net e camonaw ni a uk awh han.
5 People will mistreat one another, person against person, neighbor against neighbor; the young will assault the old, and the dregs of society will attack those who are reputable.
Khocanaw teh buet touh hoi buet touh, imri hoi imri a kârektap awh han. Camo ni matawng, banglahai kaawm hoeh e ni, bari kaawm e hah a dudam awh han.
6 A man will grab hold of one of his brothers in their father's house, and tell him, “You've got a coat, you can be our leader! Take over the running of this pile of ruins!”
Tami ni a hmaunawngha hah a na pa im e man vaiteh, nang teh khohna na tawn rah, hi tho. Kaimouh na uk leih. Hete ka rawk e pueng hai na pathoup pouh leih ati awh toteh,
7 But immediately his brother will shout back, “No, not me! I can't take care of this family's problems. In my house I don't have food or clothes. Don't put me in charge as your leader!”
Ahni ni, kai ni ka pathoup thai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai im vah, rawca hoi khohna awm hoeh. Khocanaw koe bawi na tawk sak awh hanh loe telah kamcengcairalah ati han.
8 For Jerusalem has collapsed and Judah has fallen because of what they said and did in opposition to the Lord, rebelling right in front of him.
Jerusalem kho a tip toe. Judah ram a rawk toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae lawk tho hoi tawksaknae teh, BAWIPA ngainae patetlah awm hoeh. A bawilennae mit hah a taran awh toe.
9 The look on their faces proves what they've done, proclaiming their sin just like Sodom—they don't even bother to try and hide it! Tragedy is coming to them! They have brought disaster down upon themselves.
Ahnimae minhmai teh, amamouh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Amamouh yonnae hrawk thai awh hoeh. Sodom khonaw patetlah hmantang vah, yonnae a sak awh. Ahnimae muitha dawk yawthoenae ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae heh a mamhmawk a kâpatho awh toe.
10 Tell those who live right that they will be fine, for they will be happy to receive the reward for what they have done.
Tami kalan teh yawhawinae ao telah ahnimouh koe dei pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tawk awh e paw hah a ca awh han.
11 But tragedy comes to the wicked, for what they did will be done to them.
Tami kahawihoeh teh yawthoenae ao. Hawihoehnae hoi a kâhmo han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tawksak e yonnae hah ahni lathueng patho lah ao han.
12 Leaders who act in childish ways mistreat my people; women rule over them. My people, your leaders are misleading you, confusing you about which way to go.
Ka taminaw ni camonaw a rektap awh. Napuinaw hai a uk awh. Ka taminaw, nangmouh lam na ka patue e naw ni lam na phen sak awh toe. Na dawn awh e lamthung hai a raphoe awh toe.
13 The Lord stands up to prosecute his case. The Lord stands up to judge the people.
BAWIPA ni lawkcengnae hmuen koe amae hmuen a la teh, taminaw lawkceng hanlah a kangdue.
14 The Lord comes to give his judgment against the elders and leaders of his people: You are the ones who have destroyed my vineyard; your houses are full with everything you've stolen from the poor.
BAWIPA ni a taminaw thung dawk e, a kum kacuenaw hai thoseh, bawinaw hai thoseh, lawkceng hanelah lawkcengnae hmuen koe a kâen. Nangmouh ni, kaie takha na padoun awh toe. Karoedengnaw, e hnopai na lawp awh teh, namamouh im vah na pâkhueng awh toe.
15 Why have you crushed my people? Why have you ground the faces of the poor into the dirt? the Lord Almighty demands to know.
Ka taminaw hah bangkongmaw na rektap awh vaw. Mathoenaw e minhmai hah bangkongmaw na phom awh vaw telah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
16 The Lord says, The women of Zion are so conceited, walking with their heads held high, giving flirty glances, tripping along with their ankle bracelets jingling.
BAWIPA ni bout a dei e teh, Zion canunaw teh a kâoupnae a rasang awh. A lahuen a kamnue sak awh teh, a mit a kâhei sak awh teh, a khoksaluem koe dinghling lawk a tho teh, tektanek lah ceitakhai laihoi lam a cei awh dawkvah,
17 So the Lord will make their heads full of scabs, and the Lord will expose their private parts.
BAWIPA ni Zion canunaw hah a lû moihna sak vaiteh, a khohna rading pouh vaiteh, caici lah yeirai kaposak han.
18 At that time the Lord will remove their fine ornaments: ankle bracelets, headbands, crescent necklaces,
Hote hnin navah, a kamthoupnae khok dinghling, tamlawk lupawk, dingyin,
19 pendant earrings, bracelets, veils,
hnâpacap kanghoi e, laikaw, minhmai ramuk,
20 headdresses, bangles, sashes, perfume holders, lucky charms,
luhuem, sui khokdingyin, taisawm, hmuitui bawm,
21 rings, nose rings,
kuthrawt, hnawngpacap,
22 festival clothes, gowns, cloaks, handbags,
sui tamlawk angki, hnica, kala, yawngya,
23 hand mirrors, fine linen underwear, head wraps, and shawls.
hlalang, athung angki, sammuem, hoi kamthoupnae hni naw hah ka takhoe han.
24 What will happen is that instead of smelling of perfume, she will stink. Instead of a wearing a sash, she will be tied with a rope. Instead of styled hair, she will be bald. Instead of fine clothes, she will wear sackcloth. Instead of looking beautiful, she will be shamed.
Hmuitui e yueng lah kapawk hmui, taisawm e yueng lah tangron, samvei e yueng lah lû luengpalueng, loukloukkaang e khohna yueng lah buri, meihawinae yueng lah sum pâan hoi nep e a hmâkathan lah ao han.
25 Your men will be killed by the sword; your soldiers will die in battle.
Na taminaw teh, tahloi hoi a rawp awh vaiteh, nange athakaawm taminaw teh taran tuknae koe a due awh han.
26 The gates of Zion will cry and mourn. The city will be like a banished woman sitting on the ground.
A longkhanaw ni cingou laihoi khuikap awh vaiteh, kingkadi lah talai dawk a tahung han.
