Isaiah 8
1 And the LORD said unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;
Toe Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Kalen parai caqam tangoeng maeto lah ah loe, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz kawng to cacung hoiah tarik ah.
2 and I will take unto Me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'
Qaima Uriah hoi Jeberekiah capa Zakariah to kai han oep kaom hnukung ah ka kawk han, tiah ang naa.
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD unto me: 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hashbaz.
To pacoengah tahmaa nongpata khaeah ka caeh; anih loe zokpomh moe, capa maeto sak. Angraeng mah kai khaeah, anih to Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, tiah ahminphui hanah ang thuih.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'
To nawkta mah, Kam pa, kam no, tiah kawk thai ai naah, Damaska vangpui angraenghaih hoi Samaria vangpui ah lomh ih hmuennawk to Assyria siangpahrang mah la boih tih.
5 And the LORD spoke unto me yet again, saying:
Angraeng mah kai khaeah lokthuih let;
6 Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;
hae kaminawk loe amzaita hoi kalong Shiloah ih tui to pahnawt o moe, Rezin hoi Ramaliah capa nuiah anghoehaih tawnh o lat pongah,
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks;
khenah, Assyria siangpahrang hoi anih ih thacak misatuh kaminawk boih, thacak pop parai vapui tuinawk to Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah longsak, vacong hoi tui taengnawk loe tui mah ueng boih boeh;
8 And he shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
tui loe Judah prae nuiah long tih, prae to uem boih ai karoek to tui to long tih, tui loe tahnong khoek to pha tih; Aw Immanuel, anih loe angmah ih pakhraeh to atoeng tahang ueloe, na prae to khuk boih tih, tiah ang naa.
9 Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
Prae kaminawk boih, tasoehhaih hoiah maeto ah angpop oh! Prae kangthla ah kaom kaminawk, tahngai oh; kazii to angzaeng oh loe, tasoeh oh! Kazii to angzaeng oh loe, tasoeh oh!
10 Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.
Sithaw loe kaicae hoi nawnto oh pongah, nawnto nam khueng o e, tidoeh angcoeng mak ai; lok na thuih o e, na thuih o ih lok baktiah, tidoeh om mak ai.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
Hae kaminawk ih loklam to ka pazui han ai ah, Angraeng mah a thacakhaih hoiah ang patawnh moe, lok ang thuih;
12 'Say ye not: A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.
hae kaminawk, Khokhanhaih baktih toengah, nangcae doeh khokhan o toeng hmah; nihcae mah zit ih hmuen to zii o hmah loe, tasoeh doeh tasoeh o hmah.
13 The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to khingya oh, anih khue to zii oh loe, anih zithaih khue to tawn oh,
14 And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Anih loe abuephaih hmuenciim ah om tih; toe Israel imthung takoh hnik hanah loe amthaekhaih hoi amtimhaih thlung ah om tih, Jerusalem kaminawk hanah loe, peet hoi thaang ah om tih.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'
Nihcae thung ih kanoih parai kaminawk loe amthaek o tih, amtim o ueloe, angkhaek o tih; thaang pongah aman o ueloe, naeh o tih, tiah thuih.
16 'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'
Hnukung mah thuih ih lok to taoeng ah, kaalok hae catui daengah loe, kai hnukah bang kaminawk khaeah paek ah.
17 And I will wait for the LORD, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.
Jakob imthung takoh nuiah mikhmai ka hawk han, Angraeng to ka zing moe, anih to ka pakrong han.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
Khenah, kaimah hoi Angraeng mah paek ih nawktanawk loe haeah ka oh o; kaicae loe Zion mae ah kaom, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hanah, Israel prae thung ih angmathaih hoi dawnraihaih ah ka oh o.
19 And when they shall say unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto the dead
Kaminawk mah, Kadueh pakhra kawk kop kami, taqawk kawk thaih kami, amzaita hoiah lok to thuih moe, angzo han koi hmuen panoek thaih kaminawk khaeah lok dueng o khae, tiah ang thuih o naah, kadueh kami khaeah lok dueng pongah loe, acaeng kaminawk mah kahing angmacae ih Sithaw khaeah lok to dueng o mak ai maw?
20 for instruction and for testimony?' — Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no light. —
Toe nangcae loe kaalok hoi hnukung mah thuih ih lok to tahngai oh! Nihcae mah hae loktang lok baktiah lok to thui o ai nahaeloe, nihcae loe aanghaih tawn o ai vop tih haih ih ni.
21 And they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces upward,
Nihcae loe dawnraihaih, zok amthlamhaih hoiah ni prae thungah amhet o tih; nihcae loe zok amthlam naah, palungphuihaih hoiah van bangah khen o ueloe, angmacae ih siangpahrang hoi Sithaw to tangoeng o thui tih.
22 or look unto the earth, behold distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and outspread thick darkness.
Long bangah khet o tathuk naah doeh, raihaih hoi khovinghaih, dawnraihaih hoi tasoehhaih khue to hnu o tih; nihcae to khoving thungah haek boih tih.
