Isaiah 1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Judah siangpahrang Uziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah tinaw a bawi awh navah, Amos capa Isaiah ni Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem kho hoi kâkuen lah a hmu e vision,
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
Cathut ni lawk a dei dawkvah, Oe kalvannaw, thai awh haw. Oe talai, hnâpakeng haw. Ka kawk e catounnaw ni Kai na taran awh toe.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Maito ni kakhoumkung a panue. La ni hai kakawkkung e dokko a panue. Isarelnaw ni Kai na panuek awh hoeh toe. Ka taminaw ni pouk panuek awh hoeh toe a ti.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
Miphun kathout, sak payonnae ka phawt e tamihu, kahawihoehe hno ka sak e catoun, rawknae canaw lah bo na o awh toung aw. BAWIPA hah na ceitakhai awh toe. Isarelnaw e kathounge Cathut hah na bari awh laipalah, hnamthun sin awh teh, na kamlang takhai awh toe.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Ahnimanaw hah bangtelamaw bout ka hem han vai. Bangtelamaw bout ka yue han vai. A lû teh hmâtan hoi king akawi, na lung hai tha khoeroe awm hoeh toe.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head [there is] no soundness in [it]; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
Khoktabei koehoi lû koe totouh, damnae awmhoeh. Hmâtan hoi, a phing teh, a hnai ka lawi e seng lah ao. Hote hmânaw hah pâsu hoeh, kawm hoeh, satui hai hluk pouh hoeh rah.
7 Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Nangmae ram teh tami kingkadi lah ao. Khonaw hai hmai a kak toe. Na talainaw hai ramlouknaw ni na hmaitung vah a ca awh vaiteh, taran ni a raphoe tangcoung e patetlah tami kingdi han.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
Zion canu hai misur takha ringnae patetlah payin takha dawk e rim patetlah taran ni a kalup e kho patetlah ceitakhai lah ao.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni mamouh hanelah younca hai cawi sak hoehpawiteh, maimouh teh Sodom kho patetlah o awh teh, Gomorrah kho hoi kâvan awh.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Sodom kho ka uk e bawinaw, Cathut e lawk hah thai awh haw. Gomorrah khocanaw kaimae Cathut lawk hah hnâpakeng awh haw.
11 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
Cathut ni a dei e teh, nangmouh ni na thueng awh e satheinaw teh kai hoi bangtelamaw a kâkuet vaw. Thuengnae tu, ka phuekuek lah na paca e saring thawnaw hoi ka boum toe. Maito, tuca hoi hmaenaw e thi hah ka ngai hoeh.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Ka hmalah minhmai patue han na tho awh navah, Kaie thongma coungroe hanlah apinimaw na patoun awh.
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Ayawmyin e pasoum hno hah bout thokhai awh hanh lawih. Hmai na sawi awh e hmuitui hah ka panuet. Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, kamkhueng hnin naw hai ka panuet. Hawihoehnae hoi kâkalawt e kathoung kamkhuengnae hah ka panguep thai hoeh.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear [them].
Ka muitha ni nangmae thapa rei hnin hoi nangmae pawinaw hah ka hmuhma. Kai katarawk e lah ao teh ka panguep lawi ngawt ka tawn toe.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Nangmouh ni, na kut na kadai awh toteh, alouklah na kangvawi takhai awh han. Avai moikapap na ratoum awh nakunghai, ka thai mahoeh. Na kutnaw teh thi hoi akawi.
16 Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
Kâpasu awh, kamthoung awh. Na payonnae hah ka hmaitung hoi takhoe awh. Kahawihoehe nuencang hah kâhat awh leih.
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Kahawi hno sak hanelah kamtu awh. Lannae hah tawng awh. Ka lawngkoi e hah palan awh. Naranaw hanelah kalan lah sak awh. Lahmainunaw hanelah kalan lah sak awh. Lahmainunaw hah pahren awh.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, tho awh. Cungtalah pouk awh haw sei. Nangmae yonnae teh ka paling nakunghai tadamtui patetlah a pangaw han. Âthi patetlah ka paling nakunghai tumuen patetlah ao han.
19 If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Nangmouh ni ngainae lahoi lawk na ngâi awh pawiteh, ram thung e hnokahawi e a pawnaw hah na ca awh han.
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
Hatei na taran awh pawiteh, tahloi hoi na due awh han telah BAWIPA e pahni ni a dei toe a ti.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Yuemkamcu e kho teh bangtelamaw ka kâyawt e kho lah a kangcoung vaw. Ahmaloe teh, kângingnae hoi ka kawi e, a thung lannae ni hmuen a la e lah ao ei, atuteh tamikathetnaw ni hmuen lanae lah ao toe.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
Na tangka hai a ei lah ao toe. Na misurtui hai tui hoi a kâkalawt toe.
23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
Na khobawinaw teh, taran lah a thaw toe. Tamrunaw e hui lah ao awh toe. Hote bawinaw pueng ni tadawnghno a ngai awh teh, tawknae phu dueng a pâlei awh. Naranaw hah khenyawn awh hoeh. Lahmainunaw teh banglahai ngâi awh hoeh.
24 Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw e Athakaawme, ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Aya! Kai na ka taran e naw hah bat ka takhoe vaiteh, ka tarannaw koe moi ka pathung han.
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
Nang hah na kuet vaiteh, a ei hoi khoeroe na thoungsak vaiteh, thounghoehnae pueng ka takhoe han.
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Lawkcengkungnaw hoi pouknae kapoekung naw hah, ahmaloe ka ta e patetlah bout ka ta han. Hathnukkhu lannae khopui, yuemkamcu e khopui ati awh han.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Zion teh kângingnae hoi thoseh, lannae hoi thoseh ratang lah ao han.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Kâtapoe e hoi ka yon e tami teh reirei raphoe lah ao han. Cathut ka cettakhai e teh hraba mueng ka yawng lah hmaisawi han.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
Na doun e kathenkungnaw hah na kayakkhai awh toung vaiteh, na kârawi e takha ni kângai lah a ru sak awh han. Minhmai mathoe na poe awh han.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hna kamyai e kathen kung hoi tui kahak e takha patetlah lah na o awh han.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].
Athakaawme taminaw teh ngun ei patetlah awm vaiteh, a tawksak e teh hmaitali patetlah ao han. Hottaroi teh reirei kang vaiteh, hote hmai hah apinihai padout mahoeh.
