Isaiah 9
1 As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Hatei, runae khang hnukkhu hmonae dawk hoi ram teh a hlout awh han. Zebulun ram hoi Naphtali ram teh, ahmaloe vah kayanae kâhmo nakunghai a to hmalah teh, tuipui rai ceinae lamthung, Jordan palangpui namran lae, Jentelnaw onae Galilee ram totouh barinae a coe awh han.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
Hmonae thung ka cet kaawm e taminaw ni, kalenpounge angnae hah hmawt awh vaiteh, duenae ram thung kaawm naw koe angnae ni a tue han.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Bawipa nang ni miphun hah na pung sak teh, ahnimae lunghawinae hah na pung sak pouh. Canga hnin patetlah lawp e hno kareinaw ni lunghawi e patetlah na hmalah ahnimouh ni a lunghawi awh.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Midiannaw koe na sak e patetlah ahnimouh ni aphu awh e hnori, hemnae bongpai, ka rektapnaw e tahroenaw hah BAWIPA nang ni na khoe pouh toe.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning — fuel of fire.
Ransanaw e khokkhawm hoi thi kânep e khohna puenghai hmai koung sawi lah ao han.
6 For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh hanelah camo a khe toe. Maimouh hanelah capa buet touh na poe awh toe. Ahnie loung dawk uknae kâ ao han. Amin teh, Kângairu, Kâpokhaikung, Athakaawme Cathut, Yungyoe e Napa, Roumnae Bawi ti han.
7 To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
A uknaeram roung vaiteh, lungmawngnae pout mahoeh. Siangpahrang Devit e bawitungkhung dawk tahung vaiteh, a ram hah a uk han. Atu hoi a yungyoe totouh, kalan lah a uk han. Rasahu BAWIPA ni a sak roeroe hanelah a ngainae ao.
8 A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
Bawipa ni Jakop miphun koe a lawk a poe teh, Isarelnaw koe a pha han.
9 And the people have known — all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Amhru katim nakunghai, pathei tangcoung e talung hoi bout ka sak awh han.
10 'Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
Thailahei kungnaw teh ka rawm nakunghai, a yueng lah sidarkung ka ung awh han telah ka kâoup awh ni teh a lung kalen awh e Samaria khocanaw hoi Ephraim khocanaw pueng ni a panue awh han.
11 And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanelah, Rezin tarannaw hah a thaw sak teh, Ephraim e tarannaw hah a thaw sak dawkvah,
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
kanîtholah Sirianaw, kanîloumlah Filistinnaw ni a pahni ang awh vaiteh Isarelnaw hah a kei awh han. Hatei, a lungkhueknae teh roum hoeh, a kut teh pou a dâw.
13 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
Hete miphunnaw teh runae kapoekung koelah kamlang a hoeh. Rasahu BAWIPA hah tawng panuek awh hoeh.
14 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed — the same day,
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw koehoi lû hoi mai hai thoseh, samtue kang hoi pho hai thoseh hnin touh hoi a tâtueng han.
15 Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
Lû teh matawng hoi bari kaawmnaw doeh. Mai hateh, laithoe ka dei e profet hah doeh.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
Hete miphunnaw lam kapatuekungnaw ni lam a payon awh nahanelah lamthung a pâtue awh toe. Ka dawn e naw hai rawknae koe a pha awh han.
17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimae thoundounnaw hah BAWIPA ni a lungyouk hoeh. Naranaw hoi lahmainunaw hai pahren hoeh. Ahnimouh pueng teh, cathutlaipa e naw hoi tamikathoutnaw lah ao awh dawkvah, kamsoumhoehe lawk hah a dei awh. Hatdawkvah, a lungkhueknae roum hoeh, a kut teh pou dâw e lah ao rah.
18 For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Kamsoumhoehe teh hmai patetlah ouk a kak. Pâkhing aphunphun hah ouk a kamtawi sak. Ratu hai hmaisawi teh, akungnaw teh hmaikhu hoi parang a kâyat han.
19 In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
Rasahu BAWIPA e a lungkhueknae dawkvah, talai hmai a kak teh, talai taminaw teh hmai patawi nahane thing lah ao awh han. Hmau nawngha reira buet touh hoi buet touh kâpasai mahoeh.
20 And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
Aranglah hoi ka bouk ei nakunghai, vonhlam mingming han rah. Avoilah hoi ka cat ei nakunghai, von paha mahoeh. Imri reira e moi hah tami pueng ni a ca awh han.
21 Manasseh — Ephraim, and Ephraim — Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!
Manasseh miphun ni Ephraim miphun, Ephraim miphun ni Manasseh miphun hah a kâkei awh han. Hote miphun roi ni Judah miphun hah cungtalah a taran roi han. Hatei, a lungkhueknae teh roum hoeh, a kut teh pou a dâw rah.
