Isaiah 29
1 Woe [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go round.
Nang, Ariel, Ariel, David ohhaih vangpui, khosak na bing! Saningto pacoeng saningto thap oh loe, buhraenghaih poih doeh saningto pacoeng saningto sah o nasoe.
2 And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel.
Toe Ariel vangpui to kam tangsak han; anih loe palungsethaih hoiah hang tih; Ariel vangpui loe ka hmaa ah angbawnhaih hmaicam baktiah om tih.
3 And I encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege against thee — a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks.
Nang to naeh hanah kang takui khoep han, misa abuephaih imsang hoi kang takui khoep moe, misa anghawkhaih long khaw doeh ka sak han.
4 And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,
Nang loe long ah pakhrah tathuk tih, to naah long thung hoiah lok na thui tih; na thuih ih lok loe maiphu thung hoi tetta ah tacawt tih; na thuih ih lok loe pakhra kawk thaih kami mah apaeh ih lok baktiah, long thung hoiah tacawt ueloe, maiphu thung hoiah lok amzaita ah thui tih.
5 And as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at an instant — suddenly.
Toe pop parai na misanawk loe kahoih parai maiphu baktiah om o tih, kami tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe anghaeh phang tavai baktiah om o tih; nawnetta thung to tiah om roep tih.
6 By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe kho pazihhaih, talih hnawhhaih, kalen parai atuen, takhi sae hoi kangqong hmaipalai hoiah danpaek tih.
7 And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
Ariel vangpui tuh prae kaminawk boih, Ariel hoi kacak sipae tuh kaminawk, anih raihaih paek kaminawk loe khoving naah hnuk ih amang baktiah ni om o tih.
8 And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.
Zok amthlam kami loe amang ah buh a caak, toe angthawk tahang naah zok amthlam let baktih, tui anghae kami mah amang ah tui to naek, toe angthawk naah tui anghaeh let toengtoeng, tui anghae dip thai ai baktiah ni om tih; Zion mae tuh prae kaminawk boih doeh to tiah om o tih.
9 Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.
Anghngai oh loe, dawnrai oh; nihcae loe misurtui nae ai ah, mu paquih o; mu nae ai ah, ahnuk ahma amtimh o.
10 For poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep, And He closeth your eyes — the prophets, And your heads — the seers — He covered.
Angraeng mah iih angmuethaih palung to paek pongah, mik na pasim o boeh; nangcae ih tahmaa, ukkungnawk hoi angzo han koi hmuen hnu thaih kaminawk to khuk khoep boeh.
11 And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I am not able, for it [is] sealed;'
Hae hnuksakhaih hmuennawk boih loe nangcae hanah catui daeng tangcae cabu thung ih loknawk baktiah oh; to cabu to ca amtuk kami khaeah paek moe, Tahmenhaih hoiah hae cabu hae kroek ah, tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Catui daeng pongah, ka kroek thai ai, tiah thuih.
12 And the book is given to him who hath not known books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I have not known books.'
To ca to ca amtuk ai kami khaeah na paek moe, Tahmenhaih hoi hae ca hae kroek ah, tiah na naa: to naah anih mah, Ca ka kroek thai ai, tiah thuih.
13 And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is — A precept of men is taught!
Angraeng mah, Hae kaminawk loe pakha hoiah ni kai khaeah angzoh o, pahni hoiah kai ang pakoeh o, toe palung loe kai khae hoiah angthla o; kaminawk mah patuk ih baktih toengah kai angzit o:
14 Therefore, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hideth itself.'
to pongah, khenah, hae kaminawk khaeah dawnrai hmuen, poekraihaih hoi anghmang kathok hmuen to ka sak han; palungha kaminawk ih palunghahaih loe anghmaa tih; khopoek thaih kaminawk ih panoekhaih doeh anghma boih tih, tiah thuih.
15 Woe [to] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, 'Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?'
Angraeng panoeksak han ai ah, kathuk poekhaih tawn kami, vinghaih thungah toksah kami, mi mah maw kaicae hae hnu thai tih? Mi mah maw kaicae hae panoek tih? tiah thui kaminawk loe khosak bing!
16 Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, 'He hath not made me?' And the framed thing said of its framer, 'He did not understand?'
Nangcae mah hmuennawk buenglueng tamlet ah na paqoi o boih boeh, laom sahkung loe amlai long baktiah na poek o; a sak ih hmuen mah sahkung khaeah, kai loe anih mah ni sak, tiah thui tih maw? Laom mah laom sahkung khaeah, Anih loe tidoeh panoek ai, tiah thui tih maw?
17 Is it not yet a very little, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned?
Lebanon loe atue setta thung long kahoih ah om tih, long kahoih ahmuen loe taw ah angcoeng mak ai maw?
18 And heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do see.
To na niah loe naa pang kami mah cabu thung ih lok to thaih ueloe, mikmaengnawk mah kamtueng ai, khoving ahmuen thung hoiah hnu o thai tih boeh.
19 And the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice.
Poeknaem kaminawk doeh Angraeng ah anghoehaih pung o tih; kaminawk thungah amtang kaminawk loe Ciimcai Israel pongah anghoe o tih.
20 For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity,
Zitthok kami loe anghmaa tih boeh; minawk pahnui thuih kami to om mak ai boeh, kami zaehaih khen thaih kaminawk,
21 Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous.
lok maeto pazaehaih pongah tayacoi kami, anih aman hanah khongkha ah thaang patung kami, katoeng kami to toeng ai ah sah kaminawk to amro o boih tih boeh.
22 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: 'Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become pale,
To pongah Abraham akrangkung, Angraeng mah Jakob imthung takoh khaeah hae tiah thuih; Jakob loe azathaih tong mak ai, mikhmai doeh sae mak ai boeh.
23 For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful.
To kaminawk mah, ka sak ih tok to hnuk o naah, ka hmin to ciimcai o sak tih, Jakob ih Ciimcai Sithaw to panoek o ueloe, Israel Sithaw zithaih to tawn o tih.
24 And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!'
Anghmang suthaih muithla tawn kaminawk mah panoekthaihaih to tawn o ueloe, lokaek koeh kaminawk mah doeh ka patuk ih lok to tahngai o tih boeh, tiah thuih.
