Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Amoz capa Isaiah loh Babylon kah olrhuh te a hmuh coeng.
2 Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
Tlang aka tlaai soah rholik thoh uh lah. Amih te ol huel thil uh lamtah kut hlaek pauh. Te daengah ni hlangcong thohka la a pawk uh eh.
3 I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
Kamah kah ka ciim rhoek te kamah loh ka uen coeng. Ka hoemnah dongah aka yalpo ka hlangrhalh rhoek te ka thintoek ham rhung la ka khue bal.
4 The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mustering the army for the battle.
Tlang sokah hlangping ol tah pilnam mueiloh, namtom ram kah longlonah ol khaw bahoeng tingtun uh coeng. Caempuei BOEIPA loh caemtloek caempuei te a hip coeng.
5 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
BOEIPA tah diklai pum he laikoi hamla khohla bangsang kho lamkah neh vaan khobawt lamloh amah kah kosi tubael neh ha pawk uh coeng.
6 Wail, for the LORD’s day is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
BOEIPA kah khohnin loh yoei coeng tih rhung uh laeh. Tlungthang taeng lamkah rhoelrhanah la ha pawk ni.
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt.
Te dongah kut aka om khaw boeih kha vetih hlanghing kah thinko khaw boeih paci ni.
8 They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
Thohrhui khaw let vetih rhuihet aka tu ca-om bangla khaem uh ni. Amih maelhmai te hmaihluei la om vetih hlang loh amah hui te khaw maelhmai a hmaang ni.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.
BOEIPA kah khohnin tah a thinpom neh muenying muenyang la ha pawk coeng ke. Khohmuen te imsuep la khueh ham thintoek thinsa neh ha pawk tih a khuikah hlangtholh rhoek te a mitmoeng sak pawn ni.
10 For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
Vaan kah aisi neh amih kah buhol long khaw a aa thangthen mahpawh. Khomik khaw a thoeng vaengah hmuep vetih hla long khaw a vangnah neh tue voel mahpawh.
11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible.
Lunglai dongkah boethae neh halang rhoek kathaesainah te khaw ka cawh ni. Thinlen kah hoemdamnah te ka paa sak vetih, hlanghaeng hoemnah khaw ka kunyun ni.
12 I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.
Hlanghing he suicilh lakah, tongpa he Ophir sui lakah ka kha sak.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the LORD of Hosts’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Te dongah vaan te ka tlai sak vetih caempuei BOEIPA kah a thinpom neh amah kah thintoek thinsa khohnin ah tah diklai te a hmuen lamloh hinghuen ni.
14 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
Te vaengah a heh uh kirhang neh boiva bangla om ni. Hlang loh a pilnam te a coi uh kolla mael uh vetih amah kho la rhip rhaelrham uh ni.
15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
A hmuh carhui a thun vetih a khoengvoep nah la cunghang neh boeih a cungku sak ni.
16 Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
Amih kah a ca rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a til pah ni. A im te a reth pa uh vetih a yuu rhoek taengah a yalh rhoe a yalh pa uh ni.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.
Amih taengah kamah loh tangka aka moeh pawt tih sui aka ngaih pawh Madai te ka haeng pah coeng he.
18 Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.
Camoe rhoek te liva neh a taam uh vetih bungko thaihtae te khaw haidam uh mahpawh. A ca rhoek te amih kah mik loh rhen uh mahpawh.
19 Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Kasdim’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ram tom kah kirhang neh Khalden kah hoemdamnah a boei a mang, Babylon tah Pathen kah imrhong- Sodom neh Gomorrah bangla om ni.
20 It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
Babylon te a yoeyah la om pawt vetih thawnpuei phoeikah cadilcahma duela om mahpawh. Te vaengah Arab khaw puen uh pawt vetih boiva aka dawn khaw te ah te kol uh mahpawh.
21 But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there.
Te vaengah kohong loh pahoi a kol thil vetih a im ah huiha loh bae ni. Tuirhuk vanu loh hnap a rhaeh thil vetih sathai loh a cungpet thil ni.
22 Hyenas will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
A lohnong ah sa-ui kuk vetih a bawkim ah pongui loh pangdoknah a khueh ni. A tue ha pawk ham yoei coeng tih a khohnin tah koe voel mahpawh.
