Isaiah 9
1 Yet the darkenesse shall not be according to the affliction that it had when at the first hee touched lightly the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, nor afteward when he was more grieuous by the way of the sea beyond Iorden in Galile of the Gentiles.
Te cakhaw hlamat kah bangla anih taengah mangdaeng mangtok la Zebulun khohmuen kah, Naphtali khohmuen kah a tap khomu te om mahpawh. Tedae hmailong ah Jordan rhalvang neh namtom Galilee kah tuipuei longpuei te a thangpom ni.
2 The people that walked in darkenes haue seene a great light: they that dwelled in the land of the shadowe of death, vpon them hath the light shined.
Hmaisuep ah pongpa pilnam loh khosae puei a hmuh coeng. Dueknah hlipkhup kho kah khosa rhoek te vangnah loh a tue coeng.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased their ioye: they haue reioyced before thee according to the ioye in haruest, and as men reioyce when they deuide a spoyle.
Namtom te amah taengah na ping sak tih kohoenah neh na puel sak. Te dongah cangah vaengkah a kohoenah bangla, kutbuem a tael uh vaengkah a omngaih uh bangla na mikhmuh ah a kohoe uh.
4 For the yoke of their burthen, and the staffe of their shoulder and the rod of their oppressour hast thou broken as in the day of Midian.
Midian tue vaengkah bangla anih kah hnamkun hnorhih neh a laengpang kah thingpang khaw, anih taengah aka tueihno mancai khaw na rhihyawp sak coeng.
5 Surely euery battell of the warriour is with noyse, and with tumbling of garments in blood: but this shall be with burning and deuouring of fire.
Hinghuennah dongah a nook khokhom boeih neh thii dongah aka bol himbai tah hmai aka ungkhang thut lam ni a poeh eh.
6 For vnto vs a childe is borne, and vnto vs a Sonne is giuen: and the gouernement is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name Wonderfull, Counseller, The mightie God, The euerlasting Father, The prince of peace,
Mamih ham camoe pakhat thang coeng tih mamih taengah capa pakhat m'paek coeng. Anih kah laengpang dongah barhan om tih, a ming te Khobaerhambae, Olrhoep, Pathen hlangrhalh, Dungyan Pa, Rhoepnah Mangpa, la a khue coeng.
7 The increase of his gouernement and peace shall haue none end: he shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and vpon his kingdome, to order it, and to stablish it with iudgement and with iustice, from hencefoorth, euen for euer: the zeale of the Lord of hostes will performe this.
David ngolkhoel dongkah barhan rhoengnah neh rhoepnah tah bawt pawh. A ram te thoh sak ham khaw, tiktamnah, duengnah neh ram duel ham khaw Caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah loh kumhal duela a saii pawn ni.
8 The Lord hath sent a worde into Iaakob, and it hath lighted vpon Israel.
Boeipa loh Jakob taengah ol a tah tih Israel pum dongah cu.
9 And all the people shall knowe, euen Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and presumption of the heart,
Pilnam loh a ming bitni, Ephraim pum neh Samaria kah khosa loh a hoemnah neh a thinko a mamlal la,
10 The brickes are fallen, but we will build it with hewen stones: the wilde figge trees are cut downe, but we will change them into ceders.
“Laiboeng te cungku cakhaw lungrhaih neh n'khoeng bitni, thaihae te vung uh cakhaw lamphai thing n'ling uh bitni,” a ti.
11 Neuerthelesse the Lord will raise vp the aduersaries of Rezin against him, and ioyne his enemies together.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Rezin rhal te anih taengah a thaphoh pah tih a thunkha neh a khuk thil.
12 Aram before and the Philistims behinde, and they shall deuoure Israel with open mouth: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Khothoeng lamkah Aram, a hnuk lamkah Philisti loh, Israel te a ka ah a bae la a paem ni. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek te mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
13 For the people turneth not vnto him that smiteth them, neither doe they seeke the Lord of hostes.
Pilnam he amah aka ngawn taengah khaw mael pawt tih Caempuei BOEIPA khaw toem uh pawh.
14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and taile, branche and rush in one day.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel te a lu neh a mai khaw, rhophoe neh canghlong khaw khohnin pakhat ah ni a rhaih eh.
15 The ancient and the honorable man, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the taile.
Patong neh maelhmai aka dang te a lu saeh lamtah a honghi neh aka thuinuet tonghma te a mai saeh.
16 For the leaders of the people cause them to erre: and they that are led by them are deuoured.
Pilnam kah a uem la aka om he khaw kho a hmang tih anih kah a uem rhoek te khaw a yoop uh coeng.
17 Therefore shall the Lord haue no pleasure in their yong men, neither will he haue compassion of their fatherlesse and of their widowes: for euery one is an hypocrite and wicked, and euery mouth speaketh follie: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out stil.

18 For wickednesse burneth as a fire: it deuoureth the briers and the thornes and will kindle in the thicke places of the forest: and they shall mount vp like the lifting vp of smoke.
Halangnah he hmai bangla lota khaw a dom tih hling khaw a hlawp. Duup kah khocak khaw a hlup tih hmaikhu kah rhimomnah a laep sak.
19 By the wrath of the Lord of hostes shall the land be darkened, and the people shall be as the meate of ye fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Caempuei BOEIPA kah a thinpom loh khohmuen te a kolh vetih pilnam he hmaingen la poeh ni. Hlang loh a manuca te lungma ti mahpawh.
20 And he shall snatch at the right hand, and be hungrie: and he shall eate on the left hand, and shall not be satisfied: euery one shall eate ye flesh of his owne arme.
Bantang ben ah hlap pah cakhaw lamlum pueng vetih, banvoei ben ah caak pah cakhaw hah uh mahpawh. Hlang loh amah kah a ban saa te a cilh ni.
21 Manasseh, Ephraim: and Ephraim Manasseh, and they both shall be against Iudah yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
