Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
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 darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon 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 the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
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 thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, 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 rhiyawp sak coeng.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel 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 unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, 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 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Yhwh of Armies will perform 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 sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Boeipa loh Jakob taengah ol a tah tih Israel pum dongah cu.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
Pilnam loh a ming bitni, Ephraim pum neh Samaria kah khosa loh a hoemnah neh a thinko a mamlal la,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
“Laiboeng te cungku cakhaw lungrhaih neh n'khoeng bitni, thaihae te vung uh cakhaw lamphai thing n'ling uh bitni,” a ti.
11 Therefore Yhwh shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
Tedae BOEIPA loh Rezin rhal te anih taengah a thaphoh pah tih a thunkha neh a khuk thil.
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger 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 unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek Yhwh of Armies.
Pilnam he amah aka ngawn taengah khaw mael pawt tih Caempuei BOEIPA khaw toem uh pawh.
14 Therefore Yhwh will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch 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 honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
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 this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
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 the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Te dongah a tongpang vaengkah te Boeipa loh a kohoe pah mahpawh. A lailak neh thaehuet boeih dongah a cadah neh a nuhmai rhoek te haidam pah pawh. Hlang boeih kah a ka loh boethae halang boeih a thui coeng dongah he a thintoek te mael voel pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up 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 Through the wrath of Yhwh of Armies is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the 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 on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
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 together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manasseh khaw Ephraim, Ephraim khaw Manasseh, a boktlap lah Judah a tlai thil. He boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
