< Isaiah 22 >

1 A declaration about the Valley of Vision: What is the reason that you have all gone up to the housetops?
Kolrhawk ham olrhuh, na imphu tom ah na yoeng thil na taengkah olphong te melae?
2 Is it so you may hear a city full of noises, a town full of revelry? Your dead were not killed with the sword, and they did not die in battle.
Pang ol loh khopuei ah a bae la khorha te hue a sak thil. Na rhok neh aka yalpo te cunghang kah a ngawn pawt tih caemtloek kah a duek sak moenih a?
3 All your rulers fled away together, but they were captured without using a bow; all of them were captured together, though they had fled far away.
Na rhalboei rhoek te lii om kolla rhenten boeih yong uh coeng. Nang aka hmu rhoek te boeih a khih uh coeng. Khohla kah aka yong rhoek te rhenten a khih uh coeng.
4 Therefore I said, “Do not look at me, I will weep bitterly; do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
Te dongah, “Kai taeng lamloh mangthong uh laeh. Rhah nen khaw ka phaep uh mai eh. Ka pilnam tanu kah rhoelrhanah dongah kai hloep hamla taholh uh thae boeh.
5 For there is a day of tumult, treading down, and confusion for the Lord Yahweh of hosts, in the Valley of Vision, a breaking down of the walls, and people crying out to the mountains.
Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taengkah soekloeknah, tilnoinah neh tingtongnah khohnin, kolrhawk kah olphong dongah tah pangbueng te a phuet tih tlang te a o.
6 Elam takes up the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir lays the shield bare.
Elam loh liva neh marhang caem hlang leng hang khuen tih Kir loh photling a dul.
7 It will come about that your choicest valleys will be full of chariots, and the horsemen will take their positions at the gate.
Na tuikol hmuennaep aka om khaw leng loh a baetawt thil marhang caem loh vongka ah tawn la tawn uh coeng.
8 He took away the protection of Judah; and you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
Judah kah himbaiyan te a lim coeng. Tekah khohnin ah duup im kah lungpok haica te na paelki coeng.
9 You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many, and you collected the water of the lower pool.
David khopuei kah a ueth hma na hmuh te yet coeng dae tuibuem dang kah tui te na coi.
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you tore down the houses to fortify the wall.
Jerusalem kah im te khaw na tae uh tih vongtung na tuung ham im te na phil uh.
11 You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not consider the city's maker, who had planned it long ago.
Tuibuem rhuem kah tui ham te vongtung laklo ah tui-im na saii uh. Tedae te aka saii te na paelki uh pawh. Te aka hlinsai daengrhae te na hmu uh pawh.
12 The Lord Yahweh of hosts called on that day for weeping, for mourning, for shaved heads, and the wearing of sackcloth.
Rhah ham neh rhaengsae ham khaw, lungawng la tlamhni yil ham khaw tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah a khue coeng.
13 But look, instead, celebration and gladness, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, eating meat and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.
Saelhung top ham neh boiva ngawn ham, maeh caak ham neh misurtui ok ham tah omngaihnah neh kohoenah la, “Ca sih lamtah o sih, thangvuen kah ham tah n'duek uh hae pawn ni he,” na tiuh.
14 This was revealed in my ears by Yahweh of hosts: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, even when you die,” says the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
caempuei BOEIPA loh ka hna dongah han dueh coeng. Nangmih kah thaesainah he na duek uh duela han dawth mahpawh. Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh a thui coeng.
15 The Lord Yahweh of hosts, says this, “Go to this administrator, to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah im kah hmaiben lah Shebna te paan laeh.
16 'What are you doing here and who gave you permission to cut out a tomb for yourself, hewing out a grave on the heights and carving out a resting place in the rock?'”
Nang taengkah he balae? Na taengkah he u bang nim? Namah ham tah he ah he phuel na vueh tih, anih kah phuel tah hmuensang ah na vueh pah aih. Anih ham tah pohmuen khaw thaelpang dongah na tarhit pah.
17 See, Yahweh is about to throw you, a mighty man, about to throw you down; he will grasp you tightly.
BOEIPA tah nang aka hut tih hlang aka hlak neh nang aka buem la aka buem ham om coeng.
18 He will surely wind you round and round, and toss you like a ball into a vast country. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be; you will be the shame of your master's house!
Nang te palung hluem bangla n'kolong la, n'kolong ni. Khohmuen kah khocaeh dangka ah hnap na duek vetih na thangpomnah leng neh na boeipa kah im te yahpohnah om ni.
19 “I will thrust you from your office and from your station. You will be pulled down.
Nang te na rhaltawt hmuen lamloh kan thaek vetih na ngolhmuen lamloh nang kan koengloeng ni.
20 It will come about on that day that I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
Tekah khohnin a pha vaengah Hilkiah capa Eliakim te ka sal la ka khue ni.
21 I will clothe him with your tunic and put on him your sash, and I will transfer your authority into his hand. He will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Na angkidung te anih ka bai sak vetih na lamko neh anih ka talong ni. Na khohung te anih kut dongah ka paek vetih Jerusalem kah khosa ham neh Judah imkhui kah a napa la om ni.
22 I will place the key of the house of David on his shoulder; he will open, and none will shut; he will shut, and none will open.
David im kah cabi te anih kah laengpang dongah ka paek ni. A ong vetih kalh voel mahpawh, a khaih coeng te tah ong uh mahpawh.
23 I will fasten him, a peg in a secure place, and he will become a seat of glory for his father's house.
Anih te hmuen cak ah ciphuem neh ka khing vetih a napa im ham thangpomnah ngolkhoel la om ni.
24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and descendants, every small container from the cups to all the jugs.
A napa im kah thangpomnah boeih, cadil cahma neh a rhuirhong, hnopai a dikhnawn boeih, baeldung neh umam, tuitang neh baelyak boeih te anih a oi sak ni.
25 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—the peg driven in a firm place will give way, break off, and fall, and the weight that was on it will be cut off—for Yahweh has spoken.
Te khohnin ah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong loh, amah hmuen ah khak a khing hlingcong tah phoek pawn ni. Tlawt bal vetih colh pawn ni. Te vaengah a pum dongkah hnorhih a hal ni. BOEIPA loh a thui ngawn coeng.
