Isaiah 32
1 Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.
Manghai tah duengnah neh manghai vetih mangpa rhoek loh a tiktam la boei uh ni.
2 And each hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
Te vaengah tah khohli vaengkah congket conglong neh hlipuei vaengkah a huephael bangla, rhamrhae kah sokca tui bangla, buhmueh rhathih khohmuen kah thaelpang puei kah hlipkhup bangla boeih om ni.
3 And not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do attend.
Aka hmu rhoek loh a mik buem uh voel pawt vetih aka ya kah a hna long khaw hnatung uh pawn ni.
4 And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly.
Thinko aka loe long khaw ming hamla a yakming ni. Ol khol khaw a loe la puk cal ni.
5 A fool is no more called 'noble,' And to a miser it is not said, 'rich;'
Hlang ang te hlangcong la khue voel pawt vetih ngukngak te hlang rhoeikhang ti nah mahpawh.
6 For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.
Lailak la saii ham neh BOEIPA te rholrhaknah thui ham, akaang loh boethaehalang a thui tih a lungbuei kah boethae a saii. Hlang kah hinglu te bungpong la a kaeng tih tuihalh khaw tui-ok loh a vaitah sak.
7 And the miser — his instruments [are] evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.
Ngukngak loh a boethae hnopai te khonuen rhamtat la a khueh tih, khodaeng loh tiktam a thui vaengah pataeng kodo mangdaeng te a honghi ol neh vueinan hamla caai.
8 And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.
Tedae hlangcong long tah moeihoeihnah neh a uen tih moeihoeihnah neh pai van.
9 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
Mongkawt nu rhoek thoo uh lamtah ka ol hnatun uh. Palyal tanu rhoek ka olthui he hnakaeng uh lah.
10 Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.
Palyal rhoek te kum at hnin at ah na tlai uh bitni. Misurbit loh n'khah vetih cangah khaw pha mahpawh.
11 Tremble ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
Mongkawt nu te lakueng saeh, palyal nu rhoek khaw tlai uh saeh. Hni te pit saeh lamtah a yal la a pumpu te vah saeh.
12 For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
Naidoeh lohma ham neh misur thaihsu ham te rhangsuk mah rhaengsae laeh.
13 Over the ground of my people thorn — brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
Hling neh lota he ka pilnam kah hmuenlung ham a yam pah coeng tih, khorha kah omthennah dongah aka yalpo imkhui boeih ham pai ni.
14 Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses — a pasture of herds;
Impuei te a phap vetih khopuei a lilup khaw a hnoo ni. Molpuei neh rhaltawt imsang te kohong marhang kah a omthennah neh tuping uemnah la poeh vetih kumhal due lungtokhui la om ni.
15 Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.
Hmuensang lamkah Mueihla te mamih soah han kingling vaengah tah khosoek khaw cangphil cangngol la poeh tih khoham cangphil cangngol bangla a poek.
16 And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.
Te vaengah tah khosoek ah tiktamnah loh kho a sak vetih, duengnah loh cangphil cangngol te a om thil ni.
17 And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness — Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
Duengnah kah a khoboe tah rhoepnah la, duengnah kah thohtatnah tah kumhal due mong vetih ngaikhuek la om ni.
18 And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.
Ka pilnam long tah rhoepnah tolkhoeng neh pangtungnah tolhmuen ah duemnah neh a mongkawt la kho a sak ni.
19 And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.
Te dongah duup khaw rhael aka bo loh a hnaa vetih khopuei khaw tlarhoelnah la kunyun ni.
20 Happy [are] ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!
Te dae tui kaeng te boeih aka tawn tih vaito neh laak kho neh aka tluek rhoek tah na yoethen uh.
