Isaiah 3
1 See, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff: the whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water,
Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh Jerusalem neh Judah lamkah tukcawt longkhawn neh conghol khaw, tukcawt buh boeih khaw, tukcawt longkhawn la aka om tui boeih khaw,
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the one who practices divination and the elder,
Hlangrhalh neh caemtloek hlang khaw, laitloek neh tonghma khaw, hlang aka bi neh patong khaw,
3 the captain of fifty and the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
sawmnga kah mangpa neh maelhmai rhim aka om khaw, olrhoep neh kutthai hlangcueih khaw, calthai aka yakming khaw a khoe pah coeng ke.
4 “I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them.
Cadong rhoek te amih kah mangpa la ka khueh pa vetih, camoe hnatuem loh amih a taem a rhai uh ni.
5 The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child will insult the elderly, and the degraded will challenge the honorable.
Pilnam te khat phoeiah khat, hlang loh amah hui taengah a tueihno ni. Camoe loh patong a hnaep vetih rhaidaeng la thangpom uh ni.
6 A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be in your hands.'
Hlang loh a napa imkhui kah a manuca te a tuuk vetih, “Na himbai nen khaw, mamih ham rhalboei la om mai. Hekah a rhok a rhap he khaw namah kut ah ni a om coeng,” a ti uh ni.
7 On that day he will shout and say, 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing. You will not make me ruler of the people.'”
Tekah khohnin ah tah huel uh vetih, “Kai aka khit a om moenih, ka im ah buh khaw om pawh, himbai khaw om pawh, pilnam rhalboei la kai ng'khueh uh boeh,” a ti ni.
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
Jerusalem neh Judah te paloe coeng tih a ol dongah cungku coeng. A khoboe loh a thangpomnah kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA a koek coeng.
9 The look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have completed a catastrophe for themselves.
Amih maelhmai kah a hmaikhueh loh amamih te a doo. A tholh te Sodom bangla a doek tih phah pawh. Amih te yoethae neh a thuung thil dongah amih kah hinglu ngawn tah anunae.
10 Tell the righteous person that it will be well, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
Amamih kah khoboe kah a thaih te a caak uh ham coeng dongah then coeng tila aka dueng taengah thui uh.
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for the recompense of his hands will be done to him.
Anunae halang kah thaehuet aih ke, a kut neh a tiing la amah taengah a saii pah ni.
12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.
Ka pilnam te aka tueihno loh a poelyoe uh tih huta rhoek loh anih te a ngol thiluh. Ka pilnam aw, nang aka uem khaw kho a hmang uh coeng tih na longpuei caehlong a hmaang uh.
13 Yahweh stands up for an accusation; he is standing to accuse the people.
BOEIPA loh toe hamla pai coeng tih, Pilnam taengah laithui hamla pai coeng.
14 Yahweh will come with judgment against the elders of his people and their leaders: “You have ruined the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
BOEIPA tah laitloeknah dongah a pilnam patong rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek taengla pawk coeng. Nangmih loh misurdum na cahawp uh tih na im ah mangdaeng kah hno om.
15 Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Ba aih lae nang tloe tah? Ba aih lae nangmih tloe tah? Ka pilnam te na phop uh tih mangdaeng rhoek te a maelhmai ah na neet uh. Ka Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni he.
16 Yahweh says that because the daughters of Zion are proud, they walk with their necks extended, with flirting eyes, walking with tiny steps as they go, making tinkling sounds from bracelets on their ankles.
BOEIPA loh, “Zion nu rhoek te a sang uh dongah a olrhong te a yueng a yueng uh tih cet. A mik kilkoel neh pongpa uh tih cidoep cidoep cet uh. A kho dongkah hling cai mai neh,” a ti.
17 Therefore the Lord will form scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
Ka Boeipa loh Zion nu kah a luki te a vinhna sak vetih BOEIPA loh amih kah luhuem te a tlai sak ni.
18 On that day the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
Tekah khohnin ah ka Boeipa loh boeimang khocin rhui, lupong khaw, oihnun khaw,
19 the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
hnapha khaw khungpak neh hniboeng khaw,
20 the headscarves, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
lukhuem neh khocin, haikang neh hinglu im khaw, calthai khaw,
21 He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
kutcaeng neh hnarhong dongkah hnaii,
22 the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
boeimanghni neh bailoeng khaw, himbai neh sungkoi khaw,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
hmaidan khaw, hni khaw, sammuei khaw, lumuek hni khaw a khoe ni.
24 Instead of sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-arranged hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Botui yueng la a bo aka hiik om ni, lamko yueng la hnithae, samtoel yueng la lungawng, hnithen yueng la tlamhni hnimuen, sakthen yueng la thiling te om ni.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
Na hlang rhoek cunghang dongah, na thayung thamal khaw caemtloek dongah cungku uh ni.
26 Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
A thohka rhoek khaw huei uh vetih nguekcoi neh khohmuen ah a kaksap la om ni.
