< Isaiah 2 >

1 That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Judah hoi Israel kawng pongah Amoz capa Isaiah mah hnuk ih hmuen loe hae tiah oh.
2 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
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 ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of 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 will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war,
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 Yahweh.
Aw Jakob imthung takoh, angzo oh, Angraeng aanghaih ah amkae o si.
6 Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —
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 So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to 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 And filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
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 So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
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, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
Angraeng hoi thacak a lensawkhaih loe zitthoh pongah, thlungkhaw thungah akun oh loe, maiphu thungah anghawk oh.
11 The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh 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, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he 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 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 lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
maesangnawk hoi kasang maesomnawk boih,
15 And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
misa toephaih imsangnawk boih hoi tapangnawk boih,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
Tarshish ih palongpuinawk boih hoi khet kahoih krangnawk boih nuiah doeh om tih.
17 And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh 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 wholly pass away;
Anih mah krangnawk to paro boih tih boeh.
19 And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, 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 That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
Angmah mah sak ih hnahkhaw hoiah takhi anghah kami oephaih to toengh o lai ah; anih loe avanghaih timaw oh?
