< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Judah hoi Israel kawng pongah Amoz capa Isaiah mah hnuk ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh.
2 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Hnukkhuem ni ah, Angraeng im ohhaih mae loe maesomnawk boih pongah sang tih, mae ranui koekah om ueloe, prae kaminawk boih to ahmuen ah angcuu o tih.
3 And many peoples shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Pop parai kaminawk caeh o ueloe, Angraeng ih mae ah, angzo oh, Jakob Sithaw ih im ah caeh o tahang si; anih ih loklam ah a caeh o thai hanah, anih mah angmah ih loklam to aicae hanah patuek tih, tiah thui o tih; patukhaih lok loe Zion hoiah caeh tih, Angraeng ih lok loe Jerusalem hoiah caeh tih.
4 And he shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Anih mah prae kaminawk salakah lokcaek ueloe, paroeai kaminawk to thuitaek tih; to naah loe nihcae ih sumsen to long atokhaih hanah patoh o ueloe, tayaenawk doeh cakoih ah sah o tih boeh; sumsen hoiah prae maeto pacoeng maeto muk o mak ai boeh, misa angthawk hanah doeh poek o mak ai boeh.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Aw Jakob imthung takoh, angzo oh, Angraeng aanghaih ah amkae o si.
6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of strangers.
Jakob imthung takoh to na pahnawt sut boeh; nihcae loe ni angyae bang ih palunghahaih hoiah koi o, nihcae loe Philistin kaminawk baktih toengah hmabang angzo han koi hmuen thui kop kami ah oh o moe, prae kalah kaminawk hoiah amyok o boeh.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
Nihcae ih prae loe sui, sumkanglung hoiah koi moe, kroeklaek ai khoek to hmuenmaenawk a tawnh o; prae doeh hrangnawk hoiah koi moe, hrang lakoknawk doeh kroeklaek ai khoek to a tawnh o;
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
nihcae ih prae loe sakcop ih krang hoiah koi moe, angmacae ban hoiah sak o ih, angmacae banpazung hoiah sak o ih hmuennawk to a bok o.
9 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not.
To pongah kami mah lu takhum ueloe, kami maeto boih mah poekhaih to pahnaem o tih; nihcae to tahmen hmah.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Angraeng hoi thacak a lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, thlungkhaw thungah akun oh loe, maiphu thungah anghawk oh.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Anih mah amoek kami ih mik to pahnaem pae ueloe, kaminawk amoekhaih doeh pakhrawt pae tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
12 For there shall be a day of the LORD of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih ani loe amoek kami, poeksang kami, amkoeh kaminawk boih nuiah om tih; nihcae to pakhrah tathuk ah om tih:
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
kasang moe, amoek, Lebanon ih Sidar thingnawk boih, Bashan ih aok thingnawk boih,
14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
maesangnawk hoi kasang maesomnawk boih,
15 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall;
misa toephaih imsangnawk boih hoi tapangnawk boih,
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all pleasant imagery.
Tarshish ih palongpuinawk boih hoi khet kahoih krangnawk boih nuiah doeh om tih.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Kami amoekhaih to pahnaem ueloe, kaminawk poeksanghaih doeh pakhrah pae tathuk tih; to niah loe Angraeng angmah khue ni pakoeh o tih boeh.
18 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
Anih mah krangnawk to paro boih tih boeh.
19 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi longkhaw thungah akun o tih.
20 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
To na niah loe kaminawk mah a bok o hanah sui, sumkanglung hoiah a sak o cop ih krangnawk to, thangbui hoi pungpihnawk vah hanah patoh o tih boeh.
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
Angraeng hoi a thacak lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, long ahuen hanah anih angthawk naah, kaminawk loe thlungkhaw hoi cathaengkhawnawk thungah cawn o tih.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
Angmah mah sak ih hnahkhaw hoiah takhi anghah kami oephaih to toengh o lai ah; anih loe avanghaih timaw oh?
