Isaiah 33

1 Woe, spoiler! And you not spoiled, And treacherous! And they did not deal treacherously with you, When you finish, O spoiler, you are spoiled, When you finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with you.

Minawk mah parohaih tong vai ai, nang parokung, minawk mah athlaenghaih tong vai ai, nang minawk athlaeng kami, khosak na bing! Minawk amrosakhaih to na toengh naah, minawk mah nang to amrosak tih; minawk athlaenghaih to na toengh naah, minawk mah na thlaeng tih.

2 O YHWH, favor us, We have waited for You, Be their arm, in the mornings, Indeed, our salvation in time of adversity.

Aw Angraeng, kaicae hae tahmen raeh; nang khue ni kang zing o; akhawnbang kruek kaicae thacakhaih ah om ah loe, raihaih tue ah kaicae pahlonghaih ah om ah.

3 From the voice of a multitude peoples have fled, From Your exaltation nations have been scattered.

Lok tuenh pongah kaminawk loe cawnh o; nang thawk tahang naah acaeng kaminawk boih anghaeh o phang.

4 And Your spoil has been gathered, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts He is running on it.

Nangmah nihcae amrosak naah loe nihcae to pakhuh naeh baktiah naeh o tih; pakhuhnawk ahnuk ahma angphet o baktih toengah, nihcae doeh ahnuk ahma cawn o tih.

5 YHWH is set on high, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,

Anih loe hmuensang ah oh pongah, Angraeng loe kasangah pakoeh o; anih mah Zion to kamsoem ah lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih hoiah koisak tih.

6 And has been the steadfastness of your times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of YHWH—it [is] His treasure.

Palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih loe na hing thung kacakah angdoethaih, thacak pahlonghaih ah om tih; Angraeng zithaih loe nang ih tacong ah om tih.

7 Behold, “Their Ariel,” they have cried outside, Messengers of peace weep bitterly.

Khenah, nihcae ih misahoih kaminawk loe tasa bangah qah o; angdaehhaih sah kami laicaehnawk doeh palungsethaih hoiah qah o.

8 Highways have been desolated, He who passes along the path has ceased, He has broken covenant, He has despised enemies, He has not esteemed a man.

Manglaih lampui loe pong sut boeh, loklam pazui kami doeh om o ai boeh; lokmaihaih to anih mah phraek moe, vangpuinawk doeh pahnawt sut boeh, mi kawbaktih mikhmai doeh khen ai boeh.

9 The land has mourned, languished, Lebanon has been confounded, Sharon has been withered as a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel are shaking.

Prae loe palungset pongah zaek kang boeh; Lebanon doeh azathaih tong boeh moe, zai sut boeh; Sharon loe praezaek baktiah oh; Bashan hoi Karmel mah angmah hnik ih athaih to angmuensak boeh.

10 Now I arise, says YHWH, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.

Angraeng mah, Kai loe vaihi kang thawk moe, vaihi pakoeh ah ka oh han; vaihi kaimah hoi kaimah kang toengh tahang han.

11 You conceive chaff, you bear stubble; Your spirit—a fire [that] devours you.

Nangcae loe tavai to na pomh o pongah, azen to na tapen o tih; nangmacae to kangh hanah, nang hah o ih takhi loe hmai baktiah oh om tih.

12 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, they burn with fire.

Kaminawk loe hmai mah kang ih thlung kahmawn baktih, pakhruk moe, hmaitik ih soekhringkung baktiah om o tih.

13 Hear, you far off, that which I have done, And know, you near ones, My might.

Kangthla ah kaom nangcae kaminawk, ka sak ih tok hae tahngai oh; kazoi ah kaom nangcae kaminawk, ka thacakhaih hae panoek oh.

14 Sinners have been afraid in Zion, Trembling has seized the profane: Who dwells for us—consuming fire, Who dwells for us—burnings of the age?

Zion ah kaom kazae kaminawk loe zithaih hoiah oh o; angsah cop kaminawk loe dawnrai zithaih hoih oh o. Aicae thungah mi maw kamngaeh hmai thungah kaom thaih? Aicae thungah mi maw dungzan ah kakangh hmai thungah om thai tih?

15 Whoever is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,

Katoeng loklam ah caeh moe, loktang lok thui kami, amsoem ai ah phoisa hnukhaih to koeh ai, bokhaih phoisa doeh talawk ai kami, kami hum hanah thuih ih lok to thaih han ai ah naa tamuep kami hoi kasae hnukhaih bangah mik pakhrip kami loe,

16 He inhabits high places, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread has been given, his waters steadfast.

hmuensang ah om tih; mae nui ih kacak sipae loe anih misa abuephaih ah om tih; anih han apet ai ah buh to paek tih, tui doeh kang pae mak ai.

17 Your eyes see a king in his beauty, They see a far-off land.

Na mik mah Siangpahrang Hoihhaih to hnu tih; angthla parai prae doeh hnu tih.

18 Your heart meditates [on] terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?

Zitthok hmuen to na poek naah, Ca tarik kami loe naa ah maw oh ving? Tamut cong kami loe naa ah maw oh ving? Kalen koek imsang toep kami loe naa ah maw oh ving boeh?

19 You do not see the strong people, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.

Na panoek thai ai ih kathuk lok apae kami, thaih kop thai ai ih lok apae kami to na hnu mak ai boeh.

20 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Your eyes see Jerusalem—a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, its pins are not removed forever, And none of its cords are broken.

Aicae poihsakhaih vangpui, Zion to dan oh; tung maeto doeh angthui ai, qui maeto doeh apet ai, amtim han kaom ai kahni im ah kaom, amding rue ah ohhaih Jerusalem vangpui to na mik hoiah hnu tih.

21 But YHWH [is] mighty for us there, A place of rivers—streams of broad sides, No ship with oars goes into it, And a mighty ship does not pass over it.

Lensawk Angraeng loe to vangpui ah aicae han vapui tui hoi vacong tuinawk angqumhaih kakawk ahmuen ah om tih; to ahmuen ah loe palong thoek kami hoi misatukhaih palong doeh caeh mak ai.

22 For YHWH, ours who is judging, YHWH our lawgiver, YHWH our King—He saves us.

Angraeng loe kaicae lokcaekkung ah oh, Angraeng loe kaicae han patukhaih lok paek kami ah oh; Angraeng loe kaicae ih Siangpahrang ah oh; kaicae loe anih mah pahlong tih.

23 Your ropes have been left, They do not correctly strengthen their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then a prey of much spoil has been apportioned, The lame have taken spoil.

Nang ih qui to khramh o moe, kahni payanghaih qui to kacakah kom o ai pongah, kahni doeh payang o thai ai; to pongah hmuennawk to lomh o moe, amzet o; khokkhaem kaminawk mah doeh hmuenmae to lak pae o.

24 Nor does an inhabitant say, “I was sick”; The people dwelling in it [are] forgiven of [their] iniquity!

Zion vangpui ah kaom kaminawk mah, Ngan ka nat, tiah thui o mak ai; to vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk ih zaehaih to tahmen pae tih boeh.
