Isaiah 8
1 And Yahweh said unto me: Take thee a large tablet, —and write thereon in plain characters, To Maher-shalal-hash-baz. ["Speed-spoil-hurry-prey".]
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni, ca thut nahane a phen kalen e buet touh lat nateh, Maher-shalal-hash-baz telah ca cung hoi thut loe ati. Hot hateh, hno lawpnae hoi karangpoung lah raphoe haw tinae doeh.
2 That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses, —even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Hat toteh, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahanlah, yuemkamcu e kahni touh, vaihma Uriah hoi Jeberkhiah capa Zekhariah tinaw hah ka kaw toe.
3 Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived and bare a son, —and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Hathnukkhu, profetnu koe ka cei teh camo a von teh, ca tongpa a khe. BAWIPA ni a min teh, Maher-sahalal-hash-baz phung loe ati.
4 For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote camo ni anu apa telah a kaw thai hoehnahlan, Damaskas e bawinae hnopai hoi Samaria koe lawp e hnopainaw teh, Assiria siangpahrang ni koung na lawp awh han ati.
5 And again Yahweh spake unto me yet further saying:
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni, hete taminaw ni yutyut kalawng e Shiloh palang hah a pahnawt awh teh,
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, —and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Rezin hoi Remaliah capanaw koe a lunghawi awh dawkvah,
7 now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them the waters, strong and many, of the River ["Euphrates"], even the king of Assyria and all his glory, —and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks;
ransahu hoi cungtalah Assiria siangpahrang a thakaawmpounge palang tui hoi ahnimanaw teh koung ka ramuk sak han. Hote tui ni palang tuiko hoi rangoum pueng dawk muen kawi vaiteh,
8 and roll on throughout Judah—overflow and pass along, till unto the neck, he shall reach, —and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
Judah ram muen the vaiteh, lahuen totouh a ramuk han. A ratheinaw hah kadai vaiteh a ram hah koung a ramuk han. Oe Immanuel, telah ati.
9 Rage, O ye peoples, —and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth, —Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown:
Oe taminaw, kamkhueng awh nateh taket awh haw. Ram hlanae koe e taminaw, na hnâpakeng awh haw. Taran kâtuk hanelah, kârakueng awh nateh, taket awh haw.
10 Determine a plan, —and it shall be frustrated, —Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With-us-is-GOD!
Kâpan awh haw, na pouknae teh banglahai tho mahoeh. Lawk tâtueng awh haw, cak mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaimouh hoi ao.
11 For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, —when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
Hete miphunnaw ni a dawn awh e lamthung ka dawn hoeh nahanlah BAWIPA ni lawk na dei pouh e teh,
12 Ye shall not say—A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:
hete taminaw e kamkhuengnae koe kamkhueng van hanh. Ahnimouh ni a taki awh e hah taket van hanh, puen awh hanh.
13 Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, —And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe;
Rasahu BAWIPA hah bari awh. Ahni dueng maha taket awh nateh, puen awh.
14 So shall he become a hallowed asylum, —But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;
Hottelah na sak pawiteh, ahni teh, nang ni na kângue e lah awm vaiteh, Isarel ram thung kaawm naw hoi Jerusalem kho thung kaawm naw hanelah, rawpnae talung, kamthuinae talung tangkhek hoi karap lah ao han.
15 And many, shall stumble among them, —and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.
Hahoi hawvah tami kapap ni a kamthui awh han. Rawm awh vaiteh a rek awh han. Kâman awh vaiteh man lah ao awh han.
16 Bind thou up the testimony, —Seal the instruction amongst my disciples.
Hete lawkpanuesaknae hah ka hnukkâbangnaw koe tangoung nateh kâlawk hah tacikkin haw.
17 I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, —And will wait, for him.
Jakop imthung koe minhmai ka hrawk e BAWIPA hah kai niteh, ka ngaihawi han.
18 Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, —from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.
Kai hoi BAWIPA ni na poe e camonaw heh, Zion mon kaawm e ransahu BAWIPA koehoi e Isarelnaw hanelah, mitnoutnae hoi noutnae lah ao.
19 But, when they say unto you—Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not a people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, [should it seek] unto the dead?
Lawk duemduem hoi sipsap sipsap ka dei e kutkhetkathoumnaw hoi khueyuenaw koe cet awh tet awh pawiteh, taminaw ni amamae Cathut koe pacei kawi nahoehmaw. Kahringnaw ni kadoutnaw koe pacei kawi na maw.
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is], because they have no dawning day.
Cangkhainae hoi lawkpanuesaknae hah thai awh haw. Ahnimouh ni a dei awh e teh, lawk dawk nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh koe khodai hoeh rah.
21 Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, —And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards;
Ram thungvah, lungpout hoi vonhlam hoi a kâva awh han. A vonhlam awh toteh, mahoima runae a kâpoe awh vaiteh, amamae siangpahrang hoi amamae Cathut hah thoebo awh.
22 And unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!
Hahoi, kahlun lah a moung awh han. Talai lah a khet awh nakunghai, runae hoi hmonae duenghoi akawi. Angnae ohoehnae koe, khohmo thung doeh kâen awh tih toe.
