Isaiah 9
1 For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.
Toe raihaih tongh kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah vinghaih hoiah om o mak ai; canghnii ah Zebulun hoi Naptali prae to anih mah raihaih paek, toe hmabang ah loe tuipui caehhaih loklam, Jordan vapui taeng, Galilee prae ah kaom Gentelnawk to pakoeh ah om tih boeh.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Vinghaih thungah paqai kaminawk loe kalen parai aanghaih to hnuk o boeh; duekhaih tahlip thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah, aanghaih to phak boeh.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Acaeng kaminawk to na pungsak moe, nihcae anghoehaih to na pungsak boeh; cang aahhaih tue ah kaminawk anghoe o baktih, lomh ih hmuen amzet o naah kaminawk anghoe o baktih toengah, nihcae loe na hmaa ah anghoe o boeh.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
Midian kaminawk ukhaih thungah oh o naah sak ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah phawh o ih kazit hmuen, palaeng ah aput o ih hmuen hoi pacaekthlaek ah kaom kami ih cunghet to Angraeng mah khaeh pae boih boeh.
5 For every boot stamped with fierceness, and every cloak rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Misatuh kaminawk mah misatuk haih khokpanai hoi athii kangnok khukbuennawk loe hmaiqoeng han koi hmuen ah ni om tih.
6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
Aicae hanah nawkta maeto tapen boeh, aicae hanah capa maeto ang paek boeh; prae ukhaih loe anih ih palaeng nuiah om tih; anih ih ahmin loe Dawnrai, Lokthuih bomkung, Thacak Sithaw, Dungzan Ampa, Angdaehhaih Angraeng, tiah kawk tih.
7 That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts doth perform this.
Anih ukhaih hoi angdaehhaih loe boenghaih om mak ai, David ih angraeng tangkhang hoi a ukhaih prae nuiah pung tahang tih; toenghaih hoi a patuk ih lok baktiah lok to caek tih, a ukhaih loe vaihi hoi kamtong dungzan khoek to cak poe tih. Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng thacakhaih hoiah hae hmuen hae akoepsak tih.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Angraeng mah Jakob khaeah lok to patoeh moe, Israel nuiah phaksak.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
Ephraim hoi Samaria ah kaom kaminawk boih mah to lok to panoek o tih, poeksanghaih hoi amoekhaih hoiah,
10 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
amlai long hoi sak ih im to amtimh cadoeh, kamtak thlung hoiah ka sak o let han; thaiduetkungnawk to pakhruh o cadoeh, a zuengah sidar thingnawk ka thling o let han, tiah lokthui kaminawk mah doeh panoek o tih.
11 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae tuk hanah Rezin ih misanawk to pahruek moe, Ephraim ih misanawk to angthawksak boeh;
12 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Syria kaminawk mah ni angyae bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih moe, Philistin kaminawk mah niduem bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih pongah, Israel to paaeh o boeh. Hae tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
13 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Toe kaminawk loe nihcae bopkung khaeah amlaem o ai, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng doeh pakrong o ai toengtoeng vop.
14 Therefore the LORD doth cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
To pongah Angraeng mah Israel to lu hoi tamai salakah takroek pat ueloe, tanghang hoi akung to nito thungah takroek tih.
15 The elder and the man of rank, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Kacoehtanawk hoi khingya koi kaom kaminawk loe lu ah oh o, amsawnlok patuk tahmaa loe tamai ah om tih.
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Hae kami zaehoikungnawk loe kaminawk to loklam caeh pazaesak moe, kaminawk to amrosak boeh.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
To pongah Angraeng loe nihcae ih thendoengnawk nuiah anghoehaih tawn ai, ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk nuiah doeh tahmenhaih tawn mak ai; nihcae loe angsah cop kami, kahoih ai hmuen sah kami ah oh o moe, amthuhaih lok to apaeh o. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih to dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
Sethaih loe hmai baktiah kangh; kapring hoi soekhringnawk doeh hmai mah kangh ueloe, kathah taw doeh hmai mah kangh tih, thingnawk loe van ah angtoeng tahang hmaikhue baktiah om o tih.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up; the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng palungphui pongah, prae loe khoving tih; kaminawk loe hmai ah tik koi thing baktiah ni om o tih; mi mah doeh angmah ih nawkamya to paquem mak ai.
20 And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied; they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Anih mah bantang ban hoi paaeh tih, toe zok amthlam toengtoeng vop tih; banqoi ban hoiah caa tih, toe zok amhah mak ai; kami maeto boih mah angmah ih ban tampawk moi to caa o tih;
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together are against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Manasseh acaeng mah Ephraim acaeng to caa ueloe, Ephraim acaeng mah doeh Manasseh acaeng to caa tih: nihnik angbom hoi ueloe Judah to tuh hoi tih. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh anih palungphuihaih dii mak ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop tih.
