Isaiah 24
1 Khenah, Angraeng mah long hae tidoeh om ai ah suek moe, amrosak sut boeh; a krang amtuenghaih doeh amrosak ueloe, athung ih kaminawk to amhetsak phang tih.
Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
2 Kamtang khaeah oh baktih toengah, qaima khaeah doeh om tih; tamna khaeah oh baktih toengah angraeng khaeah doeh om tih; tamna nongpata khaeah oh baktih toengah, angraeng nongpata khaeah doeh om tih; hmuen qan kami khaeah oh baktih toengah, hmuen zaw kami khaeah doeh om tih; coi han hmuen paek kami khaeah oh baktih toengah, hmuen coi kami khaeah doeh om tih; phoisa coi han paek kami khaeah oh baktih toengah, phoisa coi kami khaeah doeh om tih.
It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 Long loe tidoeh om mak ai, kong rawk ueloe, amro tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih boeh.
The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.
4 Long loe zaek moe, azaem ving boeh, long loe thazok moe, azaem ving boeh; long ah kaom amoek kaminawk loe thazok o boeh.
The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
5 Long kaminawk loe Sithaw patukhaih lok to aek o, a sak o han koi kaalok to pakhraih o moe, dungzan kacak lokmaihaih to a phraek o boeh pongah, long hae amhnong o sak boeh.
The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 To pongah tangoenghaih mah long hae paaeh boeh, athung ah kaom kaminawk nuiah amrohaih to phak boeh; to pongah long ah kaom kaminawk loe hmai mah kangh moe, kami zetta khue ni anghmat boeh.
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
7 Misurtui kangtha loe atui kang ving boeh moe, misurkung doeh zaek boih boeh; poeknawmhaih boih doeh palungsethaih hoiah ni anghah o boeh.
The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 Atuen kamding satuem lok doeh dip boeh, anghoehaih hoiah hang kaminawk ih lok doeh dip boih boeh moe, anghoehaih katoeng lok doeh dip boeh.
The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
9 Laasak hoiah misurtui to nae o ai boeh; mu loe nae kaminawk hanah kakhaa tui ah om pae tih.
They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Anghmang kathok vangpui loe amro boeh; mi doeh imthung ah akun han ai ah, thok to takraeng o boih boeh.
The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 Misurtui om ai boeh pongah loklamnawk ah hang o; anghoehaihnawk boih khoving ah angcoeng boeh moe, prae thungah anghoehaih to boeng boeh.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
12 Vangpui loe angqai krang boeh moe, vangpui ih khongkha doeh boh pae o phaeng boeh.
The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
13 Olive thing kanghuen baktih, misurthaih pakhrik pacoengah kanghmat athaih to akhuih baktiah, prae thung ih kaminawk salakah om tih.
For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Nihcae loe hang o ueloe, anghoehaih hoiah laa to sah o tih; tuipui bang hoiah lensawk Angraeng saphawhaih laa to sah o tih.
These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.
15 To pongah ni angyae bangah Angraeng to pakoeh oh loe, tuipui thung ih praenawk ah Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin to saphaw oh.
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
16 Katoeng kami nuiah lensawkhaih to om nasoe, tiah long boenghaih ahmuen hoi laasakhaih lok to ka thaih o. Toe kai mah, Kai loe amro boeh, amro boeh! Khosak ka bing boeh! Aling thaih kaminawk mah aling boeh! Ue, aling thaih kaminawk mah ang ling o tangtang boeh, tiah ka naa.
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 Aw long kaminawk, nangcae loe tasoehhaih, tangqom hoi thaang mah ang zing o boeh.
Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
18 Zithaih lok pongah kacawn kami loe tangqom thungah krah tih; tangqom thung hoi tacawt tahang kami loe thaang pongah aman tih; van ih tui khongkhanawk to paongh o boeh pongah, long angdoethaih ahmuen doeh anghuen boeh.
It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Long loe koih phom boeh; long loe amro boeh pongah, anghuenh parai boeh.
The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
20 Long loe mu paqui kami baktiah ahnuk ahma amhae moe, takhi mah hmuh ih buk baktiah oh; lok tahngai ai zae sakhaih to kazit hmuen ah a phawh moe, angthawk let thaih han ai ah, amtim tih.
The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
21 To na niah Angraeng mah, van nui ih thacak misatuh kaminawk to thuitaek ueloe, long nuiah kaom siangpahrangnawk doeh thuitaek tih.
It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Thongkrah kaminawk loe long thung ih thongim ah nawnto amkhueng o baktih toengah, amkhueng o tih; thongim thungah pakhrah o ueloe, ani akra parai pacoengah thuitaekhaih to om tih.
They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
23 Khrah loe anghmang sut ueloe, ni doeh azathaih tong tih; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah Zion mae hoiah Jerusalem vangpui uk naah loe, angmah ih kacoehtanawk hmaa ah lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih boeh.
Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
