Isaiah 3
1 For lo, the Lord God of hostes will take away from Ierusalem and from Iudah the stay and the strength: euen all the staye of bread, and all the stay of water,
Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh Jerusalem neh Judah lamkah tukcawt longkhawn neh conghol khaw, tukcawt buh boeih khaw, tukcawt longkhawn la aka om tui boeih khaw,
2 The strong man, and the man of warre, the iudge and the prophet, the prudent and the aged,
Hlangrhalh neh caemtloek hlang khaw, laitloek neh tonghma khaw, hlang aka bi neh patong khaw,
3 The captaine of fiftie, and the honourable, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent man.
sawmnga kah mangpa neh maelhmai rhim aka om khaw, olrhoep neh kutthai hlangcueih khaw, calthai aka yakming khaw a khoe pah coeng ke.
4 And I will appoint children to bee their princes, and babes shall rule ouer them.
Cadong rhoek te amih kah mangpa la ka khueh pa vetih, camoe hnatuem loh amih a taem a rhai uh ni.
5 The people shalbe oppressed one of another, and euery one by his neighbour: the children shall presume against the ancient, and the vile against the honourable.
Pilnam te khat phoeiah khat, hlang loh amah hui taengah a tueihno ni. Camoe loh patong a hnaep vetih rhaidaeng la thangpom uh ni.
6 When euery one shall take holde of his brother of the house of his father, and say, Thou hast clothing: thou shalt bee our prince, and let this fall be vnder thine hand.
Hlang loh a napa imkhui kah a manuca te a tuuk vetih, “Na himbai nen khaw, mamih ham rhalboei la om mai. Hekah a rhok a rhap he khaw namah kut ah ni a om coeng,” a ti uh ni.
7 In that day hee shall sweare, saying, I cannot bee an helper: for there is no bread in mine house, nor clothing: therefore make me no prince of the people.
Tekah khohnin ah tah huel uh vetih, “Kai aka khit a om moenih, ka im ah buh khaw om pawh, himbai khaw om pawh, pilnam rhalboei la kai ng'khueh uh boeh,” a ti ni.
8 Doubtlesse Ierusalem is fallen, and Iudah is fallen downe, because their tongue and workes are against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glory.
Jerusalem neh Judah te paloe coeng tih a ol dongah cungku coeng. A khoboe loh a thangpomnah kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA a koek coeng.
9 The triall of their countenance testifieth against them, yea, they declare their sinnes as Sodom, they hide them not. Wo be vnto their soules: for they haue rewarded euil vnto themselues.
Amih maelhmai kah a hmaikhueh loh amamih te a doo. A tholh te Sodom bangla a doek tih phah pawh. Amih te yoethae neh a thuung thil dongah amih kah hinglu ngawn tah anunae.
10 Say ye, Surely it shalbe well with the iust: for they shall eate the fruite of their workes.
Amamih kah khoboe kah a thaih te a caak uh ham coeng dongah then coeng tila aka dueng taengah thui uh.
11 Woe be to the wicked, it shalbe euill with him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him.
Anunae halang kah thaehuet aih ke, a kut neh a tiing la amah taengah a saii pah ni.
12 Children are extortioners of my people, and women haue rule ouer them: O my people, they that leade thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Ka pilnam te aka tueihno loh a poelyoe uh tih huta rhoek loh anih te a ngol thil uh. Ka pilnam aw, nang aka uem khaw kho a hmang uh coeng tih na longpuei caehlong a hmaang uh.
13 The Lord standeth vp to pleade, yea, hee standeth to iudge the people.
BOEIPA loh toe hamla pai coeng tih, Pilnam taengah laithui hamla pai coeng.
14 The Lord shall enter into iudgement with the Ancients of his people and the princes thereof: for ye haue eaten vp the vineyarde: the spoyle of the poore is in your houses.
BOEIPA tah laitloeknah dongah a pilnam patong rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek taengla pawk coeng. Nangmih loh misurdum na cahawp uh tih na im ah mangdaeng kah huenkoe om.
15 What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord, euen the Lord of hoasts?
Ba aih lae nang tloe tah? Ba aih lae nangmih tloe tah? Ka pilnam te na phop uh tih mangdaeng rhoek te a maelhmai ah na neet uh. Ka Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni he.
16 The Lord also saith, Because the daughters of Zion are hautie, and walke with stretched out neckes, and with wandering eyes, walking and minsing as they goe, and making a tinkeling with their feete,
BOEIPA loh, “Zion nu rhoek te a sang uh dongah a olrhong te a yueng a yueng uh tih cet. A mik kilkoel neh pongpa uh tih cidoep cidoep cet uh. A kho dongkah hling cai mai neh,” a ti.
17 Therefore shall the Lord make the heades of the daughters of Zion balde, and the Lord shall discouer their secrete partes.
Ka Boeipa loh Zion nu kah a luki te a vinhna sak vetih BOEIPA loh amih kah luhuem te a tlai sak ni.
18 In that day shall the Lord take away the ornament of the slippers, and the calles, and the round tyres,
Tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa loh boeimang khocin rhui, lupong khaw, oihnun khaw,
19 The sweete balles, and the brasselets, and the bonnets,
hnapha khaw khungpak neh hniboeng khaw,
20 The tyres of the head, and the sloppes, and the head bandes, and the tablets, and the earings,
lukhuem neh khocin, haikang neh hinglu im khaw, calthai khaw,
21 The rings and the mufflers,
kutcaeng neh hnarhong dongkah hnaii,
22 The costly apparell and the vailes, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes,
boeimanghni neh bailoeng khaw, himbai neh sungkoi khaw,
23 And the glasses and the fine linen, and the hoodes, and the launes.
hmaidan khaw, hni khaw, sammuei khaw, lumuek hni khaw a khoe ni.
24 And in steade of sweete sauour, there shall be stinke, and in steade of a girdle, a rent, and in steade of dressing of the heare, baldnesse, and in steade of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth, and burning in steade of beautie.
Botui yueng la a bo aka hiik om ni, lamko yueng la hnithae, samtoel yueng la lungawng, hnithen yueng la tlamhni hnimuen, sakthen yueng la thiling te om ni.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sworde, and thy strength in the battell.
Na hlang rhoek cunghang dongah, na thayung thamal khaw caemtloek dongah cungku uh ni.
26 Then shall her gates mourne and lament, and she, being desolate, shall sit vpon the ground.
A thohka rhoek khaw huei uh vetih nguekcoi neh khohmuen ah a kaksap la om ni.
