Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Toe raihaih tongh kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah vinghaih hoiah om o mak ai; canghnii ah Zebulun hoi Naptali prae to anih mah raihaih paek, toe hmabang ah loe tuipui caehhaih loklam, Jordan vapui taeng, Galilee prae ah kaom Gentelnawk to pakoeh ah om tih boeh.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
Vinghaih thungah paqai kaminawk loe kalen parai aanghaih to hnuk o boeh; duekhaih tahlip thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah, aanghaih to phak boeh.
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Acaeng kaminawk to na pungsak moe, nihcae anghoehaih to na pungsak boeh; cang aahhaih tue ah kaminawk anghoe o baktih, lomh ih hmuen amzet o naah kaminawk anghoe o baktih toengah, nihcae loe na hmaa ah anghoe o boeh.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Midian kaminawk ukhaih thungah oh o naah sak ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah phawh o ih kazit hmuen, palaeng ah aput o ih hmuen hoi pacaekthlaek ah kaom kami ih cunghet to Angraeng mah khaeh pae boih boeh.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Misatuh kaminawk mah misatuk haih khokpanai hoi athii kangnok khukbuennawk loe hmaiqoeng han koi hmuen ah ni om tih.
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Aicae hanah nawkta maeto tapen boeh, aicae hanah capa maeto ang paek boeh; prae ukhaih loe anih ih palaeng nuiah om tih; anih ih ahmin loe Dawnrai, Lokthuih bomkung, Thacak Sithaw, Dungzan Ampa, Angdaehhaih Angraeng, tiah kawk tih.
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
Anih ukhaih hoi angdaehhaih loe boenghaih om mak ai, David ih angraeng tangkhang hoi a ukhaih prae nuiah pung tahang tih; toenghaih hoi a patuk ih lok baktiah lok to caek tih, a ukhaih loe vaihi hoi kamtong dungzan khoek to cak poe tih. Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng thacakhaih hoiah hae hmuen hae akoepsak tih.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
Angraeng mah Jakob khaeah lok to patoeh moe, Israel nuiah phaksak.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Ephraim hoi Samaria ah kaom kaminawk boih mah to lok to panoek o tih, poeksanghaih hoi amoekhaih hoiah,
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
amlai long hoi sak ih im to amtimh cadoeh, kamtak thlung hoiah ka sak o let han; thaiduetkungnawk to pakhruh o cadoeh, a zuengah sidar thingnawk ka thling o let han, tiah lokthui kaminawk mah doeh panoek o tih.
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae tuk hanah Rezin ih misanawk to pahruek moe, Ephraim ih misanawk to angthawksak boeh;
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Syria kaminawk mah ni angyae bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih moe, Philistin kaminawk mah niduem bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih pongah, Israel to paaeh o boeh. Hae tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Toe kaminawk loe nihcae bopkung khaeah amlaem o ai, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng doeh pakrong o ai toengtoeng vop.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
To pongah Angraeng mah Israel to lu hoi tamai salakah takroek pat ueloe, tanghang hoi akung to nito thungah takroek tih.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
Kacoehtanawk hoi khingya koi kaom kaminawk loe lu ah oh o, amsawnlok patuk tahmaa loe tamai ah om tih.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Hae kami zaehoikungnawk loe kaminawk to loklam caeh pazaesak moe, kaminawk to amrosak boeh.
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
To pongah Angraeng loe nihcae ih thendoengnawk nuiah anghoehaih tawn ai, ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk nuiah doeh tahmenhaih tawn mak ai; nihcae loe angsah cop kami, kahoih ai hmuen sah kami ah oh o moe, amthuhaih lok to apaeh o. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih to dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Sethaih loe hmai baktiah kangh; kapring hoi soekhringnawk doeh hmai mah kangh ueloe, kathah taw doeh hmai mah kangh tih, thingnawk loe van ah angtoeng tahang hmaikhue baktiah om o tih.
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng palungphui pongah, prae loe khoving tih; kaminawk loe hmai ah tik koi thing baktiah ni om o tih; mi mah doeh angmah ih nawkamya to paquem mak ai.
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
Anih mah bantang ban hoi paaeh tih, toe zok amthlam toengtoeng vop tih; banqoi ban hoiah caa tih, toe zok amhah mak ai; kami maeto boih mah angmah ih ban tampawk moi to caa o tih;
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
Manasseh acaeng mah Ephraim acaeng to caa ueloe, Ephraim acaeng mah doeh Manasseh acaeng to caa tih: nihnik angbom hoi ueloe Judah to tuh hoi tih. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh anih palungphuihaih dii mak ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop tih.
