Isaiah 5
1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
A misurdum ham ka lungnah kamah hlo te laa la ka hlai pawn ni. Molsom dongkah laimen ca ah ka lungnah misurdum om.
2 And He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
Te te a yoe tih a com phoeiah cangsawt misur te a phung. A laklung ah rhaltoengim a sak tih va-am a than pah. Misur a thaih ham te lamtawn dae a rhol la a thaih pah.
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
Jerusalem khosa neh Judah hlang, tahae ah kai laklo neh ka misurdum laklo ah laitloek uh laeh.
4 What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
Ka misur ham te balae koep ka saii eh? Te ham te bi ka saii moenih a? Misur a thaih te ka lamtawn dae balae tih a rhol la a thaih?
5 And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
Ka misurdum ah ka saii te nangmih kam ming sak pawn ni. A buk te a khoe vetih cahawp hamla om pawn ni. A vongtung te a phae vetih cawtkoi hamla om pawn ni.
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
Te te lobuek la ka khueh vetih bah uh mahpawh. Yawt uh voel pawt vetih lota neh hling loh a cun ni. Khomai te khaw ka uen vetih khotlan loh tlan thil mahpawh.
7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
Caempuei BOEIPA kah misurdum tah Israel imkhui neh a hlahmaenah thinghloe Judah hlang ni. Tiktamnah te a lamtawn dae thilongnah, duengnah yuengla pangngawlnah lat om ke.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Anunae im neh im loh ben uh tih, lo neh lo khaw a hmuen om pawt hilah ben uh. Khohmuen laklo ah namah bueng a na om rhoe.
9 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!
Ka hna dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh im len khaw imsuep la khueh het mahpawt nim? A len neh a len khaw khosak sak mahpawt nim?
10 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
Misurdum rhoihma parha ah bath pakhat la cul vetih, cangti pai at khaw cangnoek pakhat la cul ni.
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
Anunae mincang ah thoo tih yu a hloem uh tih, hlaemhmah kholaeh duela misurtui a hoem mai.
12 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
Amih kah misur buhkoknah te rhotoeng, thangpa, kamrhing, phitphoet neh a thoeih thil. Tedae BOEIPA kah bisai tah paelki uh pawt tih a kut dongkah bibi hmu uh pawh.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Te dongah a mingnah tal tih ka pilnam a poelyoe pawn ni. A thangpomnah te khokha kah a hlang la, a hlangping khaw tuihalh loh a koek pah.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
Te dongah saelkhui loh a hinglu a ka sak tih a rhi om kolla a ka a ang. Te vaengah a rhuepomnah neh a hlangping khaw, amah kah longlonah neh a khuila rholrhol suntla thuk. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Te dongah hlang he ngam vetih tongpa khaw kunyun ni, koep aka sang kah a mik khaw kunyun uh ni.
16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Tedae caempuei BOEIPA tah tiktamnah neh sang vetih, a cim Pathen tah duengnah neh ciim uh ni.
17 And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
Te vaengah tuca rhoek loh amamih kah rhamtlim bangla luem uh vetih, boei rhoek kah imrhong ah aka bakuep rhoek loh a caak uh ni.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
Anunae, thaesainah te poeyoek rhuihet neh dumlai leng dongah rhuivaeh bangla aka mawt,
19 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
Te rhoek loh, “A bibi te tawn koeloe la om saeh, te daengah ni m'hmuh vetih ha mop eh. Te vaengah Israel ka a cim cilsuep ha thoeng saeh lamtah ming uh van sih,” a ti uh.
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Anunae, a thae te a then, a then te a thae aka ti rhoek, khosae yueng la a hmaisuep, hmaisuep yueng la hmaivang aka khueh rhoek, didip te khahing la, khahing te didip la aka khueh rhoek.
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
Anunae amamih mikhmuh ah aka cueih tih, amamih mikhmuh ah aka yakming rhoek aih.
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Anunae, hlangrhalh rhoek loh misurtui rhoeh a ok tih, tatthai hlang rhoek khaw yu neh rhoeh thoek uh.
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
Halang loh kapbaih dongah a tang sak dae, hlang dueng kah duengnah long tah anih te a voeih.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel.
Te dongah hmai lai loh vahhu, hmaisai loh diphung a laeh bangla a yung te ungrhem vetih thinghmawn bangla om ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt uh tih, Israel kah a cim olthui te a tlaitlaek uh dongah, amih kah a pailum te laipi bangla poeng ni.
25 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh a pilnam taengah sai tangloeng coeng. Te vaengah a kut a thueng thil tih a ngawn. Te dongah tlang rhoek khaw tlai uh tih a rhok te rhamvoel laklo ah natcaeh bangla hmoeng. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
26 And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
Khohla kah namtom rhoek ham rholik a ling pah tih, diklai khobawt ah anih ham kut a ving pah dongah, yanghoep la koe ha pawk coeng ke.
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
Anih tah buhmueh rhathih om pawt tih paloe tlaih pawh. A mikku pawt tih ip bal pawh. A pumpu kah hailaem khaw hlong pawt tih, a khokhom rhui khaw pat pawh.
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
A thaltang te sum vilcik tih a lii khaw boeih tangkuek. A marhang khomae te hmailung bangla, a humhae te cangpalam bangla a moeh pah.
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
Anih kah a kawknah tah sathuengnu bangla kawk la kawk. Sathueng ca bangla a nguel tih maeh khaw a tuuk. A khuen coeng tah huul pah voel pawh.
30 And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
Tekah khohnin ah tah tuipuei phoenanah bangla a nguel thil ni. Khohmuen te a paelki vaengah khohmuep khobing neh khosae khaw muei loh khoep a hmuep sak ni.
