Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the proud garland crown that is worn by each of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, the garland that is set on the head of the lush Valley of those who are overcome with wine!
Anunae, Ephraim yurhui rhoek kah rhimomnah rhuisam neh a boeimang kirhang kah tamlaep khaw tahah coeng. Te te laimen kolrhawk kah a lu ah misurtui neh a thoek uh dae ta.
2 Behold, the Lord sends one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail and a destructive windstorm, like a driving rain and overflowing waters; and he will throw each garland crown down to the ground.
Boeipa taengkah tlungluen neh rhapsat la aka om tah rhaelnu khohli, lucik hlithae, cingtui tui rhilh bangla a yo te khaw a kut neh diklai la a tloeng ni.
3 The proud garland of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden underfoot.
Ephraim yurhui kah rhimomnah rhuisam te a kho hmuiah a taelh uh ni.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, that is on the head of the rich valley, will be as the first ripe fig before the summer, that, when someone sees it, while it is yet in his hand, he gulps it down.
Laimen kolrhawk lu kah a boeimang kirhang rhaipai bangla aka hoo te khohal hlan kah thaihloe bangla om ni. Te te aka hmuh la aka hmuh dongah a kut nen khaw pahoi a dolh.
5 In that day Yahweh of hosts will become a beautiful crown and a diadem of beauty for the remainder of his people,
Tekah khohnin ah tah caempuei BOEIPA te, a pilnam aka sueng ham kirhang rhuisam la, boeimang cangen la om ni.
6 a spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, and strength for those who turn back their enemies at their gates.
Laitloeknah dongah aka ngol ham tiktamnah mueihla la, caemtloek kah vongka ah aka mael tak kah thayung thamal la om ni.
7 But even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, and they are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink, staggering in vision and reeling in decision.
Te rhoek khaw misurtui loh a palang sak. Khosoih neh tonghma khaw yu dongah taengphael uh. Yu dongah palang uh tih misur dongah bol uh. Yu dongah kho a hmang uh. Khohmu lamloh palang uh tih laitloek dongah lol uh.
8 Truly, all tables are covered with vomit, so that there is no clean place.
Caboei tom te a lok kah a khawt baetawt la a hmuen tal.
9 To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? To those who are weaned from milk or to those just taken from the breasts?
Lungming la a thuinuet te unim, olthang aka yakming sak te unim? Rhangsuk lamloh tampo suktui aka kan te.
10 For it is command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little.
Olrhi soah olrhi te olrhi sokah olrhi neh, rhilam sokah rhilam te rhilam phoeikah rhilam neh hela vel, kela vel a ti.
11 Indeed, with mocking lips and a foreign tongue he will speak to this people.
Te dongah hekah pilnam he tamdaengtamkha kah hmuilai neh, ol tloe neh a voek ni.
12 In the past he said to them “This is the rest, give rest to him who is weary; and this is the refreshing,” but they would not listen.
Amah loh amih taengah, “Hekah duemnah dongah buhmueh rhahthih te duem saeh lamtah hilhoemnah he om saeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hnatun ham a ngaih uh moenih.
13 So the word of Yahweh will be to them command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little; so that they may go and fall backward, and be broken, ensnared, and captured.
Te dongah BOEIPA ol loh amih taengah olrhi sokah olrhi patoeng loh, olrhi phoeikah olrhi a tloe loh, rhilam sokah rhilam loh, rhilam phoeikah rhilam pakhat loh hela vel, kela vel om ni. Te daengah ni cet uh vetih a hnuk la a palet uh eh. Te vaengah khaem uh vetih a hlaeh uh ni, a tuuk uh ni.
14 So listen to the word of Yahweh, you who mock, you who rule over this people who are in Jerusalem.
Te dongah saipaat Jerusalem kah pilnam aka ngol thil hlang rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te ya uh lah.
15 This will happen because you said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have reached an agreement. So when the overwhelming whip passes through, it will not reach us. For we have made a lie our refuge, and taken shelter in falsehood.” (Sheol h7585)
“Dueknah neh paipi ka saii uh tih saelkhui taengah khohmu khaw ka khueh uh coeng. Mueirhih loh lawngkaih rhuihet la a vikvuek tih pongpa khaw pongpa mai saeh, mamih taengla ha pawk mahpawh. Laithae he mamih kah hlipyingnah la n'khueh uh tih a honghi khuiah n'thuh uh coeng,” na ti uh. (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “See, I will lay in Zion a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. He who believes will not be ashamed.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. Zion kah lungto, nuemnainah lungto aka tloeng khaw kamah ni he. Bangkil te lung vang tungkho a suen tih aka tangnah rhoek te tamto uh mahpawh.
17 I will make justice the measuring stick, and righteousness the plumbline. Hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
Tiktamnah he rhilam la, duengnah te mikrhael la ka khueh ni. Hlipyingnah laithae te rhaelnu loh a hnut vetih a huephael tui a yo pah ni.
18 Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the raging flood passes through, you will be overwhelmed by it. (Sheol h7585)
Dueknah taengkah na paipi loh n'dawth vetih saelkhui taengkah na mangthui khaw thoo mahpawh. Mueirhih rhuihet loh vikvuek uh tih m'pah vaengah te kah a cawtkoi la na om ni. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it passes through, it will overwhelm you, and morning by morning it will pass through and by day and night it will come. When the message is understood, it will cause terror.
Te te ha pawk carhil nen te nangmih ngawn tah mincang, mincang ah n'loh ni. Khothaih ah khaw khoyin ah khaw m'pah vetih olthang n'yakming te tonganah la om ni.
20 For the bed is too short for a man to stretch out on, and the blanket too narrow for him to wrap himself in.”
Khawk sak hamla thingkong te a rhaem pah tih, a calui ham mueihloe te khaw a yaem pah.
21 Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim; he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon to do his work, his strange work, and perform his strange deed.
Perazim tlang kah bangla BOEIPA te thoo ni. Gibeon kol kah bangla a bibi saii ham tlai ni. A bibi he lang tih a thothuengnah tah kholong kah a thothuengnah bangla thothueng ham ni.
22 Now therefore do not mock, or your bonds will be tightened. I have heard from the Lord Yahweh of hosts, a decree of destruction on the earth.
Hmuiyoi voel boeh, namah kah kuelrhui loh m'ven ve. Khohmuen tom a boeihnah neh pha vitvawt he ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah taeng lamkah ka yaak coeng.
23 Pay attention and listen to my voice; be attentive and listen to my words.
Ka ol he hnakaeng lamtah ya uh lah, ka olthui he hnatung lamtah ya uh lah.
24 Does a farmer who plows all day to sow, only plow the ground? Does he continually break up and harrow the field?
Lotawn ham lo aka yoe loh hnin takuem a yoe a? A khohmuen te a yawt tih a thoe ta.
25 When he has prepared the ground, does he not scatter caraway seed, sow the cumin, put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the right place, and the spelt at its edges?
A hman te a hnil moenih a? Tlangsungsing a phul tih sungsing khaw a haeh. Cang te a kok dongah a phung tih a rhibawn ah cangtun neh cangkuem a duen ta.
26 His God instructs him; he teaches him wisely.
Anih te a toel vaengah a Pathen kah tiktamnah te a taengah a thuinuet pah.
27 Moreover, the caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cumin; but caraway is beaten with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
Tlangsungsing te thingphael neh a boh tih sungsing te leng kho neh a kuelh thil moenih. Tedae tlangsungsing te caitueng neh, sungsing te conghol neh a boh ta.
28 Grain is ground for bread but not too finely, and though the wheels of his cart and his horses scatter it, his horses do not crush it.
Buh khaw tip coeng dae a yoeyah la nook mahpawh. Te te a boh vaengah a leng kho neh a khawkkhek thil moenih. A marhang caem neh a tip sak moenih.
29 This too comes from Yahweh of hosts, who is wonderful in instruction and excellent in wisdom.
He khaw caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni. Amah kah cilsuep tah khobaerhambae la ha pawk tih a lungming cueihnah a pantai sak.
