< Isaiah 10 >

1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
Amtang kaminawk ih hmuen to lomh pae moe, kamtang kai ih kaminawk toenghaih lak pae ving hanah, lamhmainawk to pacaekthlaek moe, ampa tawn ai kaminawk ih hmuenmae to lomh hanah, katoeng ai patukhaih daan sah kaminawk hoi pacaekthlaek hanah lok takroek kaminawk loe khosak bing!
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
3 And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?
Thuitaekhaih ni hoi kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah angzo han koi amrohaih phak naah timaw na sak o han? Abomhaih hnik hanah mi khaeah maw na caeh o han? Nangmacae ih hmuenmae naa ah maw na suek o han?
4 It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Kai mah abomh ai nahaeloe nihcae loe misong ah kaom kaminawk tlim ah om o ueloe, hum ih kaminawk salakah amtimh o tih. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih to dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
5 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
Ka palungphuihaih cunghet, ka palungphuihaih thingboeng, Assyria loe khosak bing!
6 I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to tuk hanah, anih to ka patoeh moe, kai palungphuisak kaminawk to tuk pacoengah, tangnong baktiah loklam ah cawh hanah, anih to ka patoeh han.
7 And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
Toe hae loe anih mah sak atim ih hmuen na ai, anih palung thungah kaom hmuen doeh na ai ni; anih mah sak atimhaih loe kanoih parai prae kaminawk to phraek moe, amrosak han ih hae ni.
8 For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
Assyria siangpahrang mah, misatuh angraengnawk boih loe kai ih kami ah na ai maw oh o?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Kalno vangpui, Karkhemish vangpui, Hammath vangpui, Arpad vangpui, Samaria vangpui hoi Damaska vangpui loe nihcae mah lak o boeh na ai maw? tiah thuih.
10 As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
Jerusalem hoi Samaria vangpui ih krangnawk pongah kahoih kue, krang bok kaminawk ih prae to ka lomh pae boeh moe,
11 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
Samaria hoi anih ih krangnawk nuiah ka sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, Jerusalem hoi anih ih krangnawk nuiah doeh ka sah mak ai maw? tiah thuih.
12 And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
Angraeng mah sak atim ih hmuen boih Zion mae hoi Jerusalem nuiah sah tih, anih loe poeksang moe, amoekhaih hoiah mik padai, Assyria siangpahrang to thuitaek tih.
13 For he has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
Anih mah, Hae hmuennawk loe ka ban thacakhaih hoi palunghahaih hoiah ni ka sak; kai loe palunghahaih hoiah acung; prae kaminawk ih ramri to ka tahruet pae moe, thacak kami mah nihcae ih siangpahrang pazawk pae baktih toengah, nihcae ih hmuenmae to ka lomh pae boeh:
14 And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
kami mah tavaa tabu thung ih tadui to lak baktih toengah, prae kaminawk boih ih angraenghaih to ka lak boeh; mi doeh pakhraeh bop ai, hangh hanah pakha ang o ai.
15 Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
Caka mah caka patohkung to laisaep thuih vai maw, to tih ai boeh loe thing aahhaih sarang mah patohkung nuiah amoek thuih vai maw? Thingboeng mah patohkung to atoengh tahang vai maw, kami mah na ai maw thingboeng to atoengh tahang? tiah a naa.
16 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.
To pongah Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, kathawk hruk misatuh kaminawk khaeah nganzaek nathaih to patoeh ueloe, lensawkhaih hoiah ohhaih tlim ah kangqong hmai baktiah hmai mah kangh tih.
17 And the light of Israel has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
Israel aanghaih loe kangqong hmai ah om tih; anih ih Ciimcai Sithaw loe hmaipalai ah om tih; anih ih kapring phroh hoi soekhring loe nito thung hmai mah kangh ueloe, amro boih tih.
18 And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
Taw thung ih hmuennawk hoi long kahoih lawk hmuennawk boih, a hinghaih hoi a takpum doeh nawnto amro boih tih; nihcae loe nganna kaminawk baktiah thazok o tih.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
Anih taw thung ih kanghmat thingnawk doeh, nawkta mah cazin lak thai koiah zetta ni om sut tih boeh, tiah thuih.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
To na niah kanghmat Israel kami hoi kaloih anghmat Jakob imthung takohnawk loe, nihcae hum kami nuiah amha o mak ai boeh, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw nuiah ni amha o tih boeh.
21 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
Anghmat kami, kanghmat Jakob acaeng loe, Thacak Sithaw khaeah amlaem o let tih.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
Israelnawk loe tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto pop o e, anghmat kaminawk ni amlaem o let tih; nihcae mah tongh o han koi amrohaih loe katoeng lokcaekhaih ah ni om tih.
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah prae boih nuiah suekcoek ih amrohaih to akoepsak tih.
24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, Izip kaminawk mah sak ih baktih toengah, Zion ah kaom kai ih kaminawk to Assyria kaminawk mah thingboeng hoiah bop o tih, nihcae mah thingboeng hoiah na pahuem o tih; toe nihcae to zii o hmah.
25 For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
Palung ka phuihaih loe nihcae amrohaih ah oh baktih toengah, nangcae nuiah palung ka phuihaih loe nawnetta thungah dii tih boeh.
26 And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of Egypt.
Angraeng Sithaw mah Oreb lungsong taengah, Median kaminawk danpaek baktih toengah, Assyria kaminawk to thingboeng hoiah bop tih; Egypt prae ah tuipui to boh moe, tui koihsak baktih toengah a thacakhaih to amtuengsak tih.
27 And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
To na niah loe na palaeng ih hmuen kazit hoi na tahnong ih hmuen phawhhaih hnam to azuk pae ving tih boeh; situi to bawh boeh pongah, hmuen phawhhaih hnam to apet tih boeh.
28 He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
Misanawk loe Aiath vangpui ah phak o moe, Migron vangpui ah caeh o poe; Mikmash vangpui ah hmuenmae to amtik o:
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
mae salak ih loklam hoiah a caeh o moe, Geba ah anghak o; Ramah loe tasoeh moe, Saul ohhaih Gibeah loe cawnh ving.
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
Aw Gallim canu, hang ah! Aw laishiah, tahngai ah! Anathoth loe tahmen thoh parai!
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Madmenah loe cawnh ving boeh; Gebim ih kaminawk doeh cawnh o moe, loih o boeh.
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
To na niah loe Nob vangpui ah anghak o tih; Jerusalem ih mae, Zion canu ih mae ah a ban to takhoek tih.
33 Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,
Khenah, Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah zitthok thing tanghang to pakhruh ving tih; anih mah kasang parai thing tanghangnawk doeh pakhruh ueloe, kasang parai tanghangnawk doeh kahnaem ah pakhru tih.
34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
Taw thung ih thingnawk to caka hoiah pakhru tih, Babylon loe Thacak Kami ih ban hoiah amtim tih.
