Isaiah 10
1 Anunae boethae oltlueh a tarhit tih, a daek khaw thakthaenah ni a daek uh.
Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
2 tattloel kah dumlai te aka phaelh sak ham neh ka pilnam mangdaeng kah laitloeknah aka rhawth la om. Te dongah nuhmai te a kutbuem la a poeh sak tih cadah te a poelyoe uh.
To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
3 Cawhtnah tue vaengah balae na saii vetih khohla bangsang lamkah khohli rhamrhael ha pawk vaengah u taengah lae na rhaelrham eh? Bomnah ham neh na thangpomnah te melam na hnoo eh?
What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye leave your glory?
4 Hlongkhoh lakli ah a koisu vetih a ngawn yueng la a cungku sak ham phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
5 Anunae Assyria aih, ka thintoek caitueng neh a kut dongkah a conghol khaw kai kah kosi lamni a om.
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
6 Anih te namtom lailak taengah, ka thinpom te pilnam taengah ka tueih. Kutbuem buem ham neh maeh poelyoe ham khaw anih tih ka uen coeng. Te dongah anih te a dueh a dueh tih vongvoel kah dikpo bangla cawtkoi la om ni.
Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of the streets.
7 Tedae a lutlat toengloeng moenih a he, a thinko loh a moeh te khaw a thinko neh mitmoeng sak ham moenih a? Te dongah namtom a phit ham te a yolkai mai moenih.
But he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
8 Ka mangpa ke manghai boeiloeih moenih a?
For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Kalneh Karkhemish bang moenih a? Khamath Arpad bang moenih a? Samaria Damasku bang moenih a?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Jerusalem lakah khaw, Samaria lakah ah khaw ka loh kut amih kah mueirhol neh mueidaep ram te a puei vanbangla,
As my hand hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 Samaria neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van mahpawt a? Te dongah Jerusalem neh anih kah mueirhol taengah khaw ka saii van ni.
Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images.”
12 Tedae Zion tlang neh Jerusalem taengkah a bibi boeih te Boeipa loh mueluem a khueh vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah thinko mamlal thaih te khaw, a mik dongkah buhuengpomnah boeimang te khaw ka cawh ni.
But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty eyes.
13 Ka kut dongkah thadueng neh ka saii coeng tih ka cueihnah neh ka yakming dongah pilnam kah rhilung khaw ka thoeih coeng. A coekcoe la khohrhang rheth pah tih a lueng la kho aka sa te ka suntlak sak coeng.
For he hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
14 Pilnam kah thadueng te ka kut dongkah vaa bu bangla a hmuh tih, diklai pum kah a hnoo vaa duei a coi bangla kamah loh ka coi. Te vaengah a phae aka khong neh a ka aka ang tih aka cip om pawh,” a ti.
The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped.”
15 Hai loh amah neh aka daeh soah kohang uh vetih, hlawh loh amah aka pom te thangpom thil saeh a? Conghol loh amah aka thueng te thing pawt mai akhaw conghol bangla thueng saeh a?
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that is not wood!
16 Te dongah caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a putsut te pawtrhawt la, a thangpomnah khaw hmaisai bangla a rhong pah ni.
Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.
17 Israel kah vangnah te hmai la, amah kah a cimcaih te hmaisai la poeh ni. Te vaengah a hling neh a lota te a dom vetih hnin at dongah a tlum sak ni.
The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
18 A duup kah a thangpomnah khaw, a hinglu lamkah a cangthai khaw pumsa duela a thok sak ni. Te vaengah aka ngoi loh a paci bangla anih te om ni.
The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
19 A duup kah thing aka sueng te a yol tah camoe kah a tae la om rhung ni.
The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may write them down.
20 Te khohnin a pha vaengah Israel aka sueng khaw thap voel pawt vetih Jakob imkhui kah aka rhalyong long khaw amah aka ngawn soah hangdang voel mahpawh. Tedae Israel kah BOEIPA cim dongah ni oltak la a hangdang eh.
In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Aka sueng la, Jakob ko kah aka sueng te tah hlangrhalh Pathen taengla mael ni.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
22 Na pilnam Israel he tuipuei laivin bangla aka sueng om cakhaw khahoeinah a hlavawt tih duengnah loh a yo hlang tah mael ni.
For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with righteousness.
23 A boeihnah dongah caempuei, ka Boeipa Yahovah aka hlavawt tah diklai pum kah a laklung ah a saii van ni.
For devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole land,
24 Te dongah Boeipa caempuei Yahovah loh, “Zion kah khosa ka pilnam loh Egypt khoboe bangla cungcik neh nang aka taam tih a conghol neh nang aka vuek Assyria te rhih boeh.
Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of Egypt;
25 Tedae kolkalh rhuet ah ka kosi neh ka thintoek loh a khah vetih amamih kah tlumhmawnnah la om bitni.
But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
26 Oreb lungpang kah Midian te rhuihet neh a hmasoe sak bangla, caempuei BOEIPA loh anih te a haenghang thil ni. Te vaengah Egypt khoboe bangla a conghol te tuipuei soah a thueng bal ni.
Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
27 Te khohnin a pha vaengah na laengpang dongkah a hnorhih neh na rhawn dongkah a hnamkun han sawn vetih hnamkun te situi loh a pat sak ni.
In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
28 Anih Ai la pawk tih Migron te a poeng tih Mikmash ah amah kah hnopai te a hal.
He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
29 Lamkai a paan uh vaengah mamih kah rhaehim Geba tah lakueng coeng. Saul kah Gibeah Ramah khaw rhaelrham coeng.
They pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
30 Gallim nu loh na ol hlampan saeh, Anathoth mangdaeng te Laish loh hnatung saeh.
Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah khaw yong coeng, Gebim khosa rhoek khaw bakuep coeng.
Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
32 Nob ah hnin at duem hamla Zion nu kah tlang neh Jerusalem som ah a kut a thueng ni.
Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
33 Caempuei Boeipa Yahovah loh a rhimom neh thingsam te a doi tih a sang la aka pomsang te khaw a vung coeng dongah aka sang rhoek tah kunyun uh ni.
But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall be brought low.
34 Duup khocak te thi neh a hum vetih Lebanon kah aka khuet te khaw cungku ni.
He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
