< Isaiah 34 >

1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
Namtom rhoek loh hnatun hamla ha mop lah. Namtu rhoek loh hnatung uh saeh lamtah diklai neh lunglai boeih neh a cadil cahma rhoek boeih loh yaa saeh.
2 For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
BOEIPA kah a thinhul te namtom boeih taengah, a kosi te amih kah caempuei boeih taengla pawk. Amih te a thup vetih maeh la a voeih ni.
3 The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; and the mountains will soak up their blood.
Amih a ngawn te a voeih vaengah a rhok kah a bothae te rhim ni. Amih thii loh tlang a yut sak ni.
4 All the stars of the sky will fade away, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away, as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs from the fig tree.
Vaan dong caempuei boeih te muei vetih vaan cabu bangla kolong uh ni. Amih kah caempuei boeih te misur hnah a hoo bangla, thaibu a hoo bangla hoo ni.
5 For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
Ka cunghang loh vaan ah hmilhmal tih Edom a cuk thil. Pilnam te kamah kah yaehtaboeih loh laitloeknah neh a pha coeng.
6 The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
BOEIPA kah cunghang tah a thii hah coeng. Bozrah kah BOEIPA hmueih neh Edom khohmuen kah maeh len kongah maehtha neh, tuca thii neh, kikong neh tutal kuel kah a tha loh a men sak.
7 Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Cung neh vaito lueng khaw amih taengla suntla ni. Te vaengah a khohmuen te thii neh hmilhmal vetih a laipi khaw maehtha bangla men ni.
8 For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
BOEIPA taengah phulohnah khohnin neh, Zion kah tuituknah te a sah kum khaw om.
9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, and her land will become burning pitch.
A soklong te kunhnai la, a laipi te kat la poeh ni. A khohmuen te kunhnai rhawm la poeh ni.
10 It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; from generation to generation it will be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
Khoyin khothaih kumhal duela thi mahpawh. A khu khaw cadilcahma lamkah cadilcahma patoeng taengla cet ni. A yoeyah kah a yoeyah la khap uh vetih te long te paan uh voel mahpawh.
11 But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
Khosoek saelbu, kharhoeng neh saelbu loh a pang vetih vangak loh kho a sak thil ni. Rhilam te hinghong la, lungto he a hong la a toe uh.
12 Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
A hlangcoelh rhoek khaw a ram ah hah a khueh uh vetih a mangpa rhoek khaw a honghi la boeih om ni.
13 Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
A impuei te dohui hling loh, a hmuencak te mutlo hling loh a yam thil ni. Te vaengah pongui kah tolkhoeng la, tuirhuk vanu kah a bu la poeh ni.
14 The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
Te vaengah kohong neh sa-ui hum vetih maae loh a hui a khue ni. Vathae khaw pahoi paa vetih amah ham ngolbuel a hmuh ni.
15 Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its mate.
Te ah valah loh bu a tuk vetih oi ni. A khae phoeiah tah a hlipkhup ah a ku thil ni. Te ah te valae rhoek khaw tingtun uh vetih a la te a paa cu ni.
16 Search through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing. None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered them.
BOEIPA kah cabu dongah cae uh lamtah tae uh lah. Amih kah pakhat khaw hmaai mahpawh. A la pakhat khaw a paa vawt uh mahpawh. Ka ka loh a uen coeng dongah amih te BOEIPA kah a mueihla loh a coi ni.
17 He has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live there.
Amah loh amih ham hmulung a nan pah. A kut loh amih ham rhilam a suem pah te kumhal duela a pang uh ni. Cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma loh a khuiah kho a sak uh ni.
