< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
BOEIPA loh Jakob te a haidam vetih Israel te koep a coelh ni. Amih te amah khohmuen ah a khueh vetih yinlai loh amih taengah naep ni. Te vaengah yinlai khaw Jakob imkhui la thawth uh ni.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Amih te pilnam loh a khuen vetih amah hmuen la a thak ni. BOEIPA kah khohmuen ah amih te Israel imkhui kah salnu neh salpa la a pang uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah a sol te a hlang sol a khueh uh vetih amih aka tueihno rhoek te a taemrhai uh ni.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage in which thou wast made to serve,
Na tloh khui lamloh, nang kah khoponah khui lamloh, nang taengah mangkhak la aka thohtat sak thohtatnah lamloh nang duem sak ham BOEIPA kah khohnin ha pawk ni.
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Te vaengah Babylon manghai taengah thuidoeknah he na khuen vetih, “Tueihno te metlam a paa tih thinsanah a kangkuen mai. “Tueihno te metlam a paa tih thisanah a kangkuen mai.
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, [and] the scepter of the rulers.
BOEIPA loh halang kah conghol neh boei kah mancai khaw a khaem pah coeng.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hindereth.
Hmasoe kah a thinpom neh pilnam a ngawn. Koeknah pawt khaw, thintoek neh a namtom taemrhai tih, phaepnah te tuem pawh.
7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Duem aka mong diklai pum khaw tamlung neh rhong uh coeng.
8 Yes, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Hmaical loh nang te n'kokhah thil tih na yalh vaeng lamkah long ni Lebanon lamphai loh, “Mamih aka vung te pongpa voel pawh,” a ti coeng.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Saelkhui te nang doe hamla ha pawk vaengah nang ham te a laedil ah tlai coeng. Diklai kikong boeih kah sairhai te nang hamla a haeng coeng tih namtom manghai boeih te a ngolkhoel lamloh a thoh sak. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they shall speak and say to thee, Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like us?
Amih te boeih a doo uh vetih nang taengah, “Namah khaw kaimih bangla na nue coeng tih kaimih bang boeiloeih la na om coeng.
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Na hoemdamnah na thangpa ol te, Saelkhui la a suntlak sak coeng. Namah hmui ah a rhit phaih uh tih na dakda talam la poeh coeng,” na ti uh bitni. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Yaoe thuipa khaw vaan lamloh na cungku mai tih khothaih capa khaw diklai la m'vung tih namtom taengah aka rhaa uh mai.
13 For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Nang khaw na thinko ah, “Vaan la ka luei hang vetih Pathen kah aisi soah ka ngolkhoel ka pomsang saeh lamtah tlangpuei tlanghlaep kah tingtunnah tlang ah ka ngol eh.
14 I will ascend above the hights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
Hmuensang khomai dongah ka cet vetih Khohni te ka puet eh,” na ti.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Tedae tangrhom laedil kah saelkhui la na suntla coeng. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying], [Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms:
Nang aka hmu rhoek loh namah te m'hmaitang uh. Nang kawng te, “Diklai aka tlai sak tih ram aka hinghuen hlang te a?
17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
Lunglai te khosoek la aka khueh tih khopuei khaw a koengloeng. A thongtla te im la hlah pawh,” tila m'hmat uh.
18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Namtom manghai boeih khaw a thangpomnah neh a im ah a pum la rhip yalh uh.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
Tedae nang te thingpae bangla na phuel lamloh m'voeih. Cunghang neh a thun tih a ngawn kah pueinak bangla n'tuei coeng. Lungto tangrhom khuila aka suntla rhok bangla n'suntlae coeng.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evil-doers shall never be renowned.
Na khohmuen kah na pilnam te na phae tih na ngawn coeng dongah phuel ah khaw amih te pitpom sak mahpawh. Thaehuet rhoek kah tiingan tah kumhal duela thoel boel saeh.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Amih te thoo mahpawt nim, a napa rhoek kah thaesainah kongah a ca rhoek ham saicaeh hmuen te soepsoei pa uh. Te daengah ni khohmuen te a pang uh vetih khopuei kah lunglai hman ah a baetawt uh eh.
22 For I will arise against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Amih voelah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong te ka thoh puei vetih Babylon ming neh a ca aka sueng te khaw, a cadil khaw ka saii ni. BOEIPA olphong coeng ni he.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Khopuei te kharhoeng hut neh tuibap tui la ka khueh ni. Lungtang neh ka nawt vetih ka mitmoeng sak ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni he.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so] shall it stand.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh a toemngam tih, “Ka cai bangla om tangloeng tih ka uen bangla a thoh tangkhuet moenih a? a ti.
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Ka khohmuen kah Assyria khaem hamla ka tlang dongah ka suntlae ni. Te vaengah amih lamkah a hnamkun te a dul vetih a laengpang dong lamkah a hnorhih a hal ni.
26 This [is] the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this [is] the hand that is stretched over all the nations.
Hekah cilsuep he diklai pum ham ni a poek tih kut he khaw namtom rhoek boeih a thueng thil coeng.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul [it]? and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
caempuei BOEIPA loh a uen coeng dongah u long a phae voel. A kut te a thueng coeng dongah u long a yueh thai voel.
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Manghai Ahaz a dueknah kum ah hekah olrhuh he ha pawk.
29 Rejoice not thou, all Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent.
Nang aka ngawn mancai a tlawt te Philistia nang loh boeih kokhahnah boeh. Rhul a yung te rhulthae la thoeng vetih a thaih te aka ding minyuk la poeh ni.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
Tattloel rhoek kah caming rhoek te luem uh vetih khodaeng rhoek khaw ngaikhuek la kol uh ni. Tedae na yung te khokha neh ka duek sak vetih na meet te a ngawn ni.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, all Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times.
Vongka nang rhung laeh. Khopuei nang pang laeh. Tlangpuei lamkah hmaikhu ha thoeng tih a caempa khuiah a pangoe pawt dongah Philistia nang tah boeih paci coeng.
32 What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
BOEIPA loh Zion a suen tih a khuiah a pilnam mangdaeng a ying ham te namtom puencawn loh metlam a doo eh.
