Isaiah 33
1 Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
Raphoenae kâhmo laipalah ouk ka raphoe e hoi dumnae kâhmo laipalah ouk ka dum e naw teh, a yawthoe awh. Nang ni na raphoe hnukkhu, nama hai raphoenae na kâhmo han.
2 Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
Oe BAWIPA kaimouh hah na pahren haw. Kaimouh ni nang teh na ring awh. Amom karawitawi kaimae kut, runae kâhmo toteh kaimae rungngangkung lah awm haw.
3 When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
Ransanaw e lawk kecu dawk taminaw teh a yawng awh. Bawipa nang na thaw toteh, miphunnaw teh koung a kâkayei awh.
4 You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
Nangmae hnopainaw teh samtongnaw kamkhueng e patetlah lawp lah na o awh han. samtongnaw a kâtawm teh a cawkdawk awh e patetlah hotnaw e van vah a kâtawm awh vaiteh a yawng awh han.
5 The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
BAWIPA teh tawm lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a rasangnae hmuen koe ao teh, Zion kho hah kângingnae hoi lannae hoi a kawi sak.
6 He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
Bawipa teh nange tueng dawk na caknae, rungngangnae hnopai, lungangnae hoi panuenae lah ao han.
7 But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
Khenhaw! Ahnimae ransanaw teh, lamthung dawkvah a hram awh. Lungmawngnae laiceinaw teh a khuika awh.
8 Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
Lamthungnaw teh kingdi. Lamthung dawk kahlawng ka cet e awm hoeh. Lawkkam hah a raphoe awh toe. Khonaw hai a hnoun awh toe. Tami hah banglahai ngâi awh hoeh.
9 Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
Ram teh a cingou teh, ayawmyin lah ao han. Lebanon kahrawng teh yeiraiponae hoi remke lah ao. Sharon hmuen teh kahrawngum patetlah ao. Bashan hoi Karmel mon dawk e thingkungnaw teh peng a sarut han.
10 “But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atu kai ka thaw han. Atu kamahoima ka kâtawm han. Atu kai teh tawm e lah ka o han.
11 All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
Nangmouh teh, cahik na vawn awh vaiteh, cakong hah na khe awh han. Nangmae kâha teh, hmai lah ao teh, namamouh na kak awh han.
12 You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
Taminaw ni thungtalung hah hmai a raawng e patetlah thoseh, pâkhingkungnaw a bouk teh hmai a phum e patetlah thoseh ao han.
13 Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
Ahlanae koe e taminaw, kai ni ka sak e naw hah panuek awh haw. A hnainae koe e taminaw, kaie thaonae hah panuek awh haw.
14 The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
Zion kho e tamikayonnaw teh a taki awh. Cathut laipalah e taminaw teh, a tâlueng awh. Maimouh dawkvah, apimouh ka kang e hmai hoi kaawm thai han. Maimouh dawkvah, apimouh a yungyoe e hmai hoi kaawm thai han.
15 Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
Kalan lah ka cet niteh, kalan lah ka dei e, rektapnae lahoi hmu e hnopai hah a panuet teh, tadawnghno hah dâw hane hlak teh a kut kahek e, thi palawng hane pouknae hah tarawi hoeh nahanlah amae hnâ hah ka tabuem e, kathout hnonaw khet hoeh nahanelah, a mit ka tabuem e,
16 They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
hote tami teh a rasangnae koe a tahung han. Ahnie a kâuepnae teh, talungmon ramvengim lah ao han.
17 You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
Na mit ni siangpahrang e meihawinae hah hmawt vaiteh, ahlanae koe e ram hai a hmu han.
18 In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
Na lungthin ni taki ka tho e hah letlang a pouk toteh, ka parei e tami teh nâmouh ao va. Ka khing e tami teh nâmouh ao va. Imrasangnaw ka parei e tami teh nâmouh ao va.
19 You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
Ka pathu e miphun, thai thai hoeh e lawk hah vaptivaptap lah ka pan niteh, panue thai hoeh e lawk ka pan e miphun hah na hmawt mahoeh toe.
20 On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
Pawitonae kho Zion kho hah khenhaw! Khom buet touh boehai puen hoeh e, rui buet touh boehai ka pet hoeh e, kampuen thai hoeh e rim ti e, lungmawngnae im Jerusalem kho hah, nangmouh ni namamae mit hoi na hmu awh han.
21 Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
Hote hmuen koe ka lentoe e BAWIPA teh, kakaw e palangnaw e hmuen lah ao han. hote hmuen koe tuisamlanae kaawm e long cet thai mahoeh. Atha kaawm e long hai cet thai mahoeh.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh maimae lawkcengkung lah ao. BAWIPA teh maimae kâlawknaw kapoekung lah ao. BAWIPA teh maimae siangpahrang lah ao teh, maimouh hah na rungngang han.
23 The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
Nange long hninaw arui athawk teh, hote hnikhomnaw hah kacaklah kawm thai hoeh, hni hai kadai thai hoeh. Hatnavah, hmu e hnonaw hah kârei awh han. Khokkhemnaw ni patenghai lawp e hnonaw hah bout a lawp awh han.
24 Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
Haw kaawm e buet touh ni boehai, kai ka pataw, telah dei awh mahoeh. Hote hmuen koe kho ka sak e pueng teh, yon ngaithoum lah ao awh han.
