1 [the] vision of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz which he saw on Judah and Jerusalem in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah.
Judah siangpahrang, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz hoi Hezekiah cae mah prae uk o nathuem ah, Amos capa Isaiah mah Jerusalem hoi Judah kawng pongah hmuen hnusakhaih to hnuk.
2 Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for Yahweh he has spoken children I have brought up and I have raised and they they have rebelled against me.
Aw vannawk tahngai oh! Aw long nang, tahngai ah! Angraeng mah, Caanawk to ka pacah moe, ka qoengsak tahang, toe nihcae mah kai laisaep o thuih.
3 It knows an ox owner its and a donkey [the] feeding trough of owner its Israel not it knows people my not it considers carefully.
Maitaw tae mah tawnkung to panoek, laa hrang mah doeh pacahkung ih lok maat; toe Israel mah loe kai to na panoek ai, kai ih kaminawk loe khopoek o ai, tiah thuih.
4 Woe to! - a nation [which] sins a people heavy of iniquity of spring [who] do evil children [who] behave corruptly they have forsaken Yahweh they have spurned [the] holy [one] of Israel they have become estranged back part.
Aw kasae acaeng, zaehaih hoiah koi kami, kahoih ai hmuen sak koeh caanawk, kamro caa ah ni a oh o boeh! Nihcae mah Angraeng to caeh o taak, Israel Ciimcai kami to palungphui o sak moe, hnuk angqoi o taak ving boeh.
5 Concerning what? will you be struck again will you increase? rebellion all [the] head [is] for sickness and all [the] heart [is] faint.
Tipongah nihcae to nganbawh kana ka paek aep loe? Tikhoe kanung aep ah na laisaep o loe? Na lu loe ahmaa caak boih boeh moe, na palung doeh thazok boih boeh.
6 From [the] sole of [the] foot and to [the] head there not in it [is] soundness bruise[s] and welt[s] and wound[s] fresh not they have been pressed out and not they have been bound up and not it has been softened with oil.
Na khokpadae hoi na lu khoek to cuemhaih ahmuen roe om ai; ahmaa caakhaih, athii kaduk hoi ahnai cing ah ni oh boeh; ahnai loe pasae ai, zaeng doeh zaeng ai, tasi doeh nok ai.
7 Land your [is] a desolation cities your [have been] burned fire ground your to before you strangers [are] devouring it and desolation [is] like [the] overthrow of strangers.
Na prae loe pongsut boeh, na vangpuinawk doeh hmai hoiah thlaek o boih boeh; na lawknawk doeh na mikhnuk ah prae kalah kaminawk mah caak o boih boeh, prae kalah kaminawk mah paro o moe, kami doeh angqai krang boeh.
8 And she has been left [the] daughter of Zion like a shelter in a vineyard like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field like a city besieged.
Zion canu loe misur takha thung ih buk baktih, payae thaih patithaih takha thung ih buk baktih, takui khoep ih vangpui baktiah oh sut boeh.
9 If not Yahweh of hosts he had left to us survivor[s] like a little like Sodom we were Gomorrah we were like.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah anghmat kaminawk to pathlung ai nahaeloe, Sodom baktiah ni a om o ueloe, Gomorrah hoiah anghmong o tih boeh.
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O rulers of Sodom give ear to [the] instruction of God our O people of Gomorrah.
Nangcae Sodom ukkungnawk, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh; nangcae Gomorrah kaminawk, kaicae Sithaw patukhaih lok to tahngai oh!
11 Why? to me [the] multitude of sacrifices your he says Yahweh I have been surfeited burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat of fatlings and [the] blood of bulls and lambs and goats not I am pleased.
Angraeng mah, pop parai ah nang paek o ih angbawnhaih hmuennawk loe kai hanah atho timaw oh? tiah thuih; hmai angbawnhaih ah sak ih tuu taenawk hoi kathawk parai moithawk hoiah zok kam hah boeh; kai loe maitaw taenawk, to tih ai boeh loe tuucaanawk, to tih ai boeh loe maehnawk ih athii pongah anghoehaih ka tawn ai.
12 If you come to present yourselves presence my who? did he require this from hand your to trample courts my.
Ka hmaa ah nang zoh o moe, ka imthung ih longhma to cawh hanah nang zoh o naah, hae baktih hmuennawk sin hanah mi mah maw ang hnik o?
13 Not you must repeat to bring an offering of worthlessness incense [is] an abomination it to me new moon and sabbath [the] calling of convocation[s] not I am able to endure wickedness and solemn assembli[es].
Tidoeh avang ai hmuenpaekhaih to sin o hmah! Hmuihoih doeh ka panuet boeh; khrah kangthanawk, Sabbath hoi kaminawk amkhuenghaih doeh ka panuet boeh; kaciim amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah sethaih hoiah na sak o ih hmuen to ka pauep thai ai boeh.
14 New moons your and appointed feasts your it hates self my they have become on me a burden I am weary to bear [them].
Nangcae ih khrah kangtha hoi na sak o ih poihnawk doeh ka hinghaih mah hnukma boeh; to baktih hmuennawk loe kai han raihaih ah ni oh, pauep loiah kang pho sut boeh.
15 And when spread out you hands your I will hide eyes my from you also for you will multiply prayer not I [will be] hearing hands your blood they are full.
Lawkthuih han ban na payangh o naah doeh, mik kang tamuep o taak ving han; ue, pop parai ah lawk na thuih o cadoeh, kang tahngai pae o mak ai; nangcae ih ban loe athii hoiah koi.

Nangmacae hoi nangmacae to tui hoi amsae oh loe, ciimcai ah om oh; na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk to ka hmaa hoi va oh! Hmuen kasae sakhaih to toengh oh,

kahoih hmuen to sak amtuk oh! Toenghaih to pakrong oh loe, pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to loih o sak ah; ampa tawn ai kaminawk to angdoe o haih ah loe, lamhmainawk to abom oh.
18 Come please so let us argue our case together he says Yahweh though they are sins your like scarlet like snow they will become white though they are red like crimson like wool they will be.
Vaihi angzo oh, nawnto kho poek o noek si, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; na zae o haih loe thim ding cadoeh, dantui baktiah anglung tih; kathim car ah om cadoeh, tuumui baktiah om tih.
19 If you will be willing and you will obey [the] good thing[s] of the land you will eat.
Lok tahngaih na koeh o nahaeloe, prae thung ih kahoih koek hmuen to na caa o tih;
20 And if you will refuse and you will rebel [the] sword you will be eaten for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.
toe nang maak o moe, lok na aek o nahaeloe, sumsen hoiah na dueh o tih; Angraeng ih pakhaa mah thuih boeh.
21 How! it has become a prostitute a town faithful full of justice righteousness it lodged in it and now murderers.
Oep kaom vangpui loe kawbangmaw tangzat zaw kami ah oh ving? Toenghaih hoiah kakoi, katoeng kaminawk to vangpui thungah oh o; toe vaihi loe kami hum kami ah oh o lat boeh!
22 Silver your it has become dross drink your [has been] mixed with water.
Na phoisa loe aek mah caak boih boeh moe, na misurtui doeh tui hoiah angbaeh boeh;
23 Leaders your [are] rebels and companions of thieves all of it [is] loving a bribe and [is] pursuing rewards [the] fatherless not they vindicate and [the] lawsuit of a widow not it comes to them.
nang ukkungnawk loe laisaep thaih kami ah oh o moe, kamqunawk hoi amyok o boeh; ukkung angraengnawk loe tangqumta hoi paek ih bokhaih hmuen to koeh o moe, tangqum paekhaih to amtoemh o; nihcae mah ampa tawn ai kaminawk to angdoe o haih ai moe, lamhmainawk abomhaih tok doeh sah o ai.
24 Therefore [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts [the] mighty one of Israel woe! I will ease myself from foes my and I will avenge myself from enemies my.
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Thacak Israel Sithaw mah, Ah, ka misanawk nuiah lu ka lak han boeh, ka misanawk pongah dawnrai ka tonghaih hoihkhang tih boeh, tiah thuih.
25 And I will turn hand my on you so I may refine like potash dross your and I will remove all slag your.
Na nuiah ban ka phok moe, panuet thok aeknawk to kang pasaeh pae han, sum aek baktiah na qong ukhaih to kang ciimsak bang han.
26 And I will restore judges your as at the former [time] and counselors your as at the beginning after thus it will be called to you [the] city of righteousness a town faithful.
Nang lokcaek kaminawk loe kaom hmaloe hmuen baktiah ka ohsak moe, nang han kahoih poekhaih paek kaminawk to tangsuek nathuem ih baktiah ka ohsak let han; to pacoengah loe nang to, Toenghaih vangpui, oepthok vangpui, tiah na kawk o tih boeh.
27 Zion with justice it will be redeemed and repentant [ones] its with righteousness.
Zion loe toenghaih hoiah ka krang moe, vangpui thungah kaom dawnpakhuem kaminawk doeh toenghaih hoiah ka krang han.
28 And a crushing of rebels and sinners together and [those who] forsake Yahweh they will come to an end.
Toe zaehaih sak koeh kaminawk hoi zae kaminawk loe nawnto amro o hmaek tih, Angraeng pahnawt kaminawk loe amro o boih tih.
29 For they will be ashamed from [the] oaks which you have desired and you may be abashed from the gardens which you have chosen.
Nangcae loe na koeh o ih oak thing pongah azathaih na tongh o ueloe, na qoih o ih takhanawk pongah mikhmai na sae o tih.
30 For you will be like an oak [which is] withering leafage its and like a garden which water not [belongs] to it.
Nangcae loe aqam kangmuen oak thing baktiah na om o ueloe, tui kaom ai takha baktiah na om o tih.
31 And he will become the strong [person] tow and work his a spark and they will burn both of them together and there not [will be one who] extinguishes.
Thacak kami loe khawkqui baktiah om ueloe, anih ih toksah kami doeh kangqong hmai baktiah om tih; nihnik loe hmai mah kang hmaek tih, mi mah doeh paduek thai mak ai.
