Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of 'Uzziyahu, Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah.
Judah siangpahrang Uziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tinaw a bawi awh navah, Amos capa Isaiah ni Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem kho hoi kâkuen lah a hmu e vision,
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken: Children have I nourished and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
Cathut ni lawk a dei dawkvah, Oe kalvannaw, thai awh haw. Oe talai, hnâpakeng haw. Ka kawk e catounnaw ni Kai na taran awh toe.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Maito ni kakhoumkung a panue. La ni hai kakawkkung e dokko a panue. Isarelnaw ni Kai na panuek awh hoeh toe. Ka taminaw ni pouk panuek awh hoeh toe a ti.
4 Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.
Miphun kathout, sak payonnae ka phawt e tamihu, kahawihoehe hno ka sak e catoun, rawknae canaw lah bo na o awh toung aw. BAWIPA hah na ceitakhai awh toe. Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut hah na bari awh laipalah, hnamthun sin awh teh, na kamlang takhai awh toe.
5 Why will ye be stricken yet more? [that] ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.
Ahnimanaw hah bangtelamaw bout ka hem han vai. Bangtelamaw bout ka yue han vai. A lû teh hmâtan hoi king akawi, na lung hai tha khoeroe awm hoeh toe.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
Khoktabei koehoi lû koe totouh, damnae awmhoeh. Hmâtan hoi, a phing teh, a hnai ka lawi e seng lah ao. Hote hmânaw hah pâsu hoeh, kawm hoeh, satui hai hluk pouh hoeh rah.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire; your soil—in your presence, strangers devour it, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Nangmae ram teh tami kingkadi lah ao. Khonaw hai hmai a kak toe. Na talainaw hai ramlouknaw ni na hmaitung vah a ca awh vaiteh, taran ni a raphoe tangcoung e patetlah tami kingdi han.
8 And left is the daughter of Zion as a hut in a vineyard, as a lodge in a cucumber field, as a besieged city.
Zion canu hai misur takha ringnae patetlah payin takha dawk e rim patetlah taran ni a kalup e kho patetlah ceitakhai lah ao.
9 Unless the Lord of hosts had left unto us a remnant ever so small, like Sodom should we have been, unto Gomorrah should we have been compared.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni mamouh hanelah younca hai cawi sak hoehpawiteh, maimouh teh Sodom kho patetlah o awh teh, Gomorrah kho hoi kâvan awh.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom: give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Sodom kho ka uk e bawinaw, Cathut e lawk hah thai awh haw. Gomorrah khocanaw kaimae Cathut lawk hah hnâpakeng awh haw.
11 For what serveth me the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and the blood of bullocks, and of sheep, and of he-goats, I do not desire.
Cathut ni a dei e teh, nangmouh ni na thueng awh e satheinaw teh kai hoi bangtelamaw a kâkuet vaw. Thuengnae tu, ka phuekuek lah na paca e saring thawnaw hoi ka boum toe. Maito, tuca hoi hmaenaw e thi hah ka ngai hoeh.
12 When ye come to appear in my presence—who hath required this at your hand, to tread down my courts?
Ka hmalah minhmai patue han na tho awh navah, Kaie thongma coungroe hanlah apinimaw na patoun awh.
13 Continue no more to bring an oblation of deceit; incense of abomination is it unto me: new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies—I cannot bear misdeed with festive gathering.
Ayawmyin e pasoum hno hah bout thokhai awh hanh lawih. Hmai na sawi awh e hmuitui hah ka panuet. Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, kamkhueng hnin naw hai ka panuet. Hawihoehnae hoi kâkalawt e kathoung kamkhuengnae hah ka panguep thai hoeh.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are become a burden unto me; I am weary to bear them,
Ka muitha ni nangmae thapa rei hnin hoi nangmae pawinaw hah ka hmuhma. Kai katarawk e lah ao teh ka panguep lawi ngawt ka tawn toe.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will withdraw my eyes from you; yea, when ye make ever so many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Nangmouh ni, na kut na kadai awh toteh, alouklah na kangvawi takhai awh han. Avai moikapap na ratoum awh nakunghai, ka thai mahoeh. Na kutnaw teh thi hoi akawi.
16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
Kâpasu awh, kamthoung awh. Na payonnae hah ka hmaitung hoi takhoe awh. Kahawihoehe nuencang hah kâhat awh leih.
17 Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Kahawi hno sak hanelah kamtu awh. Lannae hah tawng awh. Ka lawngkoi e hah palan awh. Naranaw hanelah kalan lah sak awh. Lahmainunaw hanelah kalan lah sak awh. Lahmainunaw hah pahren awh.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins should be as scarlet, they shall become white as the snow; though they should be red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, tho awh. Cungtalah pouk awh haw sei. Nangmae yonnae teh ka paling nakunghai tadamtui patetlah a pangaw han. Âthi patetlah ka paling nakunghai tumuen patetlah ao han.
19 If ye be willing and obey, the best of the land shall ye eat;
Nangmouh ni ngainae lahoi lawk na ngâi awh pawiteh, ram thung e hnokahawi e a pawnaw hah na ca awh han.
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, by the sword shall ye be devoured; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Hatei na taran awh pawiteh, tahloi hoi na due awh han telah BAWIPA e pahni ni a dei toe a ti.
21 How is she become a harlot, the faithful town! she, that was full of justice; righteousness lodged therein; but now murderers.
Yuemkamcu e kho teh bangtelamaw ka kâyawt e kho lah a kangcoung vaw. Ahmaloe teh, kângingnae hoi ka kawi e, a thung lannae ni hmuen a la e lah ao ei, atuteh tamikathetnaw ni hmuen lanae lah ao toe.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is drugged with water;
Na tangka hai a ei lah ao toe. Na misurtui hai tui hoi a kâkalawt toe.
23 Thy princes are rebels, and companions of thieves; every one loveth brides, and runneth after rewards; to the fatherless they will not do justice, and the cause of the widow doth not come unto them.
Na khobawinaw teh, taran lah a thaw toe. Tamrunaw e hui lah ao awh toe. Hote bawinaw pueng ni tadawnghno a ngai awh teh, tawknae phu dueng a pâlei awh. Naranaw hah khenyawn awh hoeh. Lahmainunaw teh banglahai ngâi awh hoeh.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will take satisfaction on my adversaries, and be avenged on my enemies.
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw e Athakaawme, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Aya! Kai na ka taran e naw hah bat ka takhoe vaiteh, ka tarannaw koe moi ka pathung han.
25 And I will turn my hand against thee, and purge away as with lye thy dross, and remove all thy tin:
Nang hah na kuet vaiteh, a ei hoi khoeroe na thoungsak vaiteh, thounghoehnae pueng ka takhoe han.
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; after that shalt thou be called, The city of righteousness, the town that is faithful.
Lawkcengkungnaw hoi pouknae kapoekung naw hah, ahmaloe ka ta e patetlah bout ka ta han. Hathnukkhu lannae khopui, yuemkamcu e khopui ati awh han.
27 Zion shall be redeemed through justice, and her converts through righteousness.
Zion teh kângingnae hoi thoseh, lannae hoi thoseh ratang lah ao han.
28 But destruction shall come over transgressors and sinners together, and those that forsake the Lord shall perish.
Kâtapoe e hoi ka yon e tami teh reirei raphoe lah ao han. Cathut ka cettakhai e teh hraba mueng ka yawng lah hmaisawi han.
29 For people shall be ashamed because of the terebinths which ye had desired, and ye shall be put to the blush because of the gardens that ye had chosen.
Na doun e kathenkungnaw hah na kayakkhai awh toung vaiteh, na kârawi e takha ni kângai lah a ru sak awh han. Minhmai mathoe na poe awh han.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth the leaves of which wither, and as a garden that hath no water.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hna kamyai e kathen kung hoi tui kahak e takha patetlah lah na o awh han.
31 And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.
Athakaawme taminaw teh ngun ei patetlah awm vaiteh, a tawksak e teh hmaitali patetlah ao han. Hottaroi teh reirei kang vaiteh, hote hmai hah apinihai padout mahoeh.
