Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the LORD, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the rod and the staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Rasahu Bawipa Jehovah ni rawca hoi tui kabawpnae puenghoi, kabawpnae kaawm e pueng hah Jerusalem kho hoi Judah ram thung hoi a takhoe toe.
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
Athakaawme tami, taran ka tuk e tami, lawkcengkung, profet, khueyue, matawng,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the skillful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
tami 50 ka uk e, barilawa kaawm e tami, kâpokhai, kut taran kahawi, pahni taran kahawi e pueng a takhoe han.
4 And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Hote ram dawk camonaw ni, bawi thaw tawk awh vaiteh, sanu ka net e camonaw ni a uk awh han.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the elder, and the base against the honorable.
Khocanaw teh buet touh hoi buet touh, imri hoi imri a kârektap awh han. Camo ni matawng, banglahai kaawm hoeh e ni, bari kaawm e hah a dudam awh han.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under thy hand:
Tami ni a hmaunawngha hah a na pa im e man vaiteh, nang teh khohna na tawn rah, hi tho. Kaimouh na uk leih. Hete ka rawk e pueng hai na pathoup pouh leih ati awh toteh,
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
Ahni ni, kai ni ka pathoup thai mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai im vah, rawca hoi khohna awm hoeh. Khocanaw koe bawi na tawk sak awh hanh loe telah kamcengcairalah ati han.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Jerusalem kho a tip toe. Judah ram a rawk toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae lawk tho hoi tawksaknae teh, BAWIPA ngainae patetlah awm hoeh. A bawilennae mit hah a taran awh toe.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe to their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.
Ahnimae minhmai teh, amamouh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Amamouh yonnae hrawk thai awh hoeh. Sodom khonaw patetlah hmantang vah, yonnae a sak awh. Ahnimae muitha dawk yawthoenae ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae heh a mamhmawk a kâpatho awh toe.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Tami kalan teh yawhawinae ao telah ahnimouh koe dei pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tawk awh e paw hah a ca awh han.
11 Woe to the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Tami kahawihoeh teh yawthoenae ao. Hawihoehnae hoi a kâhmo han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a tawksak e yonnae hah ahni lathueng patho lah ao han.
12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Ka taminaw ni camonaw a rektap awh. Napuinaw hai a uk awh. Ka taminaw, nangmouh lam na ka patue e naw ni lam na phen sak awh toe. Na dawn awh e lamthung hai a raphoe awh toe.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
BAWIPA ni lawkcengnae hmuen koe amae hmuen a la teh, taminaw lawkceng hanlah a kangdue.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.
BAWIPA ni a taminaw thung dawk e, a kum kacuenaw hai thoseh, bawinaw hai thoseh, lawkceng hanelah lawkcengnae hmuen koe a kâen. Nangmouh ni, kaie takha na padoun awh toe. Karoedengnaw, e hnopai na lawp awh teh, namamouh im vah na pâkhueng awh toe.
15 What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD God of hosts.
Ka taminaw hah bangkongmaw na rektap awh vaw. Mathoenaw e minhmai hah bangkongmaw na phom awh vaw telah, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with extended necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
BAWIPA ni bout a dei e teh, Zion canunaw teh a kâoupnae a rasang awh. A lahuen a kamnue sak awh teh, a mit a kâhei sak awh teh, a khoksaluem koe dinghling lawk a tho teh, tektanek lah ceitakhai laihoi lam a cei awh dawkvah,
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their secret parts.
BAWIPA ni Zion canunaw hah a lû moihna sak vaiteh, a khohna rading pouh vaiteh, caici lah yeirai kaposak han.
18 In that day the LORD will take away the show of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon.
Hote hnin navah, a kamthoupnae khok dinghling, tamlawk lupawk, dingyin,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
hnâpacap kanghoi e, laikaw, minhmai ramuk,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings,
luhuem, sui khokdingyin, taisawm, hmuitui bawm,
21 The rings, and nose-jewels,
kuthrawt, hnawngpacap,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins,
sui tamlawk angki, hnica, kala, yawngya,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
hlalang, athung angki, sammuem, hoi kamthoupnae hni naw hah ka takhoe han.
24 And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be an offensive odor; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty.
Hmuitui e yueng lah kapawk hmui, taisawm e yueng lah tangron, samvei e yueng lah lû luengpalueng, loukloukkaang e khohna yueng lah buri, meihawinae yueng lah sum pâan hoi nep e a hmâkathan lah ao han.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Na taminaw teh, tahloi hoi a rawp awh vaiteh, nange athakaawm taminaw teh taran tuknae koe a due awh han.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being] desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
A longkhanaw ni cingou laihoi khuikap awh vaiteh, kingkadi lah talai dawk a tahung han.
