Isaiah 24
1 Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.
Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni talai hah peng raphoe vaiteh, tami kingkadi lah awm sak vaiteh, talai detpakhup vaiteh, hawvah kaawm e naw hai koung a kâkayei sak han.
2 And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
Hattoteh taminaw koe kaawm e patetlah vaihma koe ao van han. San koe kaawm e patetlah a bawi koehai ao van han. Ka ran e koe kaawm e patetlah kâyawt e koehai ao han. Lai ka ba e koe kaawm e patetlah lai a ba pouh e koehai ao han. Apung ka poe e koe kaawm e patetlah apung kacate koehai ao han.
3 Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:
BAWIPA ni a dei dawkvah, talai teh hrawnghrang lah ao teh, lawp e lah ao han.
4 Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.
Talai teh a cingou laihoi a kamyai. Talaivan hai a tha ayoun teh a kamyai. Talai tami kalentoenaw hai a tha ayoun awh.
5 And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
Talai teh, ama dawk kaawm e taminaw e kâtapoenae, kâlawk ngaihoehnae, a yungyoe lawkkam tapoenae dawkvah, a khin toe.
6 Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
Hatdawkvah, hete thoebonae ni talai a payawp toe. Talai dawk kaawmnaw koe yon teh a pha toe. Hatdawkvah, talai dawk kaawm e naw teh, a kak awh teh, hoehoe a youn awh.
7 Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
Misurtui a katha e teh a cingou. Misurkung hai a kamyai toe. Konawmnae hoi kaawm e pueng ni a cingou awh.
8 Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.
Tâbaw hoi panuiparing lawk hai kingdi toe.
9 With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.
La sak laihoi misurtui neinae awm hoeh toe. Yamu teh kanetnaw hanelah a kha pouh toe.
10 It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
Paringparang lah kaawm e khopui teh a rawk toe. Apihai a kâen hoeh nahanelah im pueng teh khan lah ao.
11 A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
Misurtui a takang toung dawkvah, lamnaw dawk a cingou awh. Lunghawinae kaawm e pueng teh kingdi toe. Talai lunghawinae teh pâlei lah ao toe.
12 Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
Kho thung teh, kingdinae doeh kaawm toe. Kho longkha teh, peng raphoe lah ao.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai lungui, ramnaw thung dawkvah, olivekung kahuet toteh kaawm e patetlah thoseh, misurpaw khi toteh a paw racawng e patetlah thoseh ao han.
14 They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.
A lawk hoe a cai sak awh teh, lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh. Kanîloumlah kaawm e naw ni BAWIPA taluenae teh a dei awh han.
15 Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, kanîtholah kaawmnaw ni BAWIPA lentoenae a poe awh han. Talai poutnae koe, tupui rai kaawm e naw ni, Isarelnaw e Jehovah Cathut teh lentoenae a poe awh han.
16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Kalan e Bawipa teh lentoe lawiseh, telah talai poutnae koehoi la sak lawk ka thai. Hatei, kai niteh, kai kaawm hoeh toe. Kai kaawm hoeh toe. Ka kahma toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, yuemkamcu hoeh e naw ni yuemkamcu hoeh lah kho a sak awh.
17 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
Oe talai taminaw, taki ka tho e hoi tangkom hoi karap naw ni sut na pawp awh.
18 And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
Taki ka tho e pawlawk dawk kayawngnaw teh tangkom thung a bo awh han. Tangkom thung hoi bout katâcawtnaw teh tangkam dawk a kâman awh han. Kalvan longkhanaw paawng teh, talai dunaw hai a kâhuet han.
19 Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
Talaipui teh khoeroe a kâbawng toe. Talaipui teh khoeroe a tip teh a rawk toe. Talaipui teh khoeroe a kâhuet toe.
20 Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
Talaipui teh yamuhri patetlah dandan a rawp teh, loungkanghawi patetlah a kâhuet toe. A payonnae yon teh amae lathueng a ri poung dawkvah, a rawp han. Bout thaw thai mahoeh toe.
21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
Hote hnin dawkvah, BAWIPA ni kalvan vah, ransabawinaw thoseh, talai van vah talai siangpahrangnaw thoseh, lawk a ceng han.
22 And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
Ahnimanaw hah tangkom dawk hoi thongim ka bawt naw patetlah cungtalah kamkhueng sak vaiteh, thongim thung a paung han. Hnin moikapap a loum torei, ahnimanaw teh lawkceng lah ao awh han.
23 And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
Hathnukkhu thapa teh a minhmai mathout vaiteh, kanî hai yeirai a po han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan ransabawi ni Zion mon Jerusalem vah siangpahrang lah awm vaiteh, amae kacuenaw hmalah, a lentoe han.
