Isaiah 2
1 Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh olka a hmuh.
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Hmailong kah a tue a pha vaengah BOEIPA im tlang te cikngae la om ni. Tlang dong neh som cawn vetih namtom boeih loh amah taengah hlampan uh ni.
In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
3 Pilnam rhoek muep cet uh vetih, “BOEIPA kah tlang la cet uh sih, Jakob Pathen im te paan uh sih lamtah a longpuei te mamih n'thuinuet ni. Te daengah ni a caehlong ah m'pongpa eh. Olkhueng te Zion lamloh, BOEIPA ol tah Jerusalem lamloh ha thoeng ni.
People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
4 Namtom rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek vetih, pilnam te a cungkuem la a tluung ni. Te vaengah a cunghang te tuktong la, a caai te vin la a dae uh ni. Namtom loh namtom taengah cunghang muk uh voel mahpawh. Caemtloek khaw cang uh voel mahpawh.
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
5 Jakob imkhui halo lamtah BOEIPA kah vangnah khuiah cet uh sih.
Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
6 Na pilnam Jokob imkhui te na phap coeng. Khothoeng lamloh a et. Philisti bangla kutyaek a sawt uh tih kholong ca rhoek neh kut a paenguh.
For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
7 A khohmuen ah ngun neh sui khaw bae tih a thakvoh khaw vawt pawh. A khohmuen ah marhang khaw bae tih a leng te bawt pawh.
Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
8 A khohmuen ah a kut dongkah kutsai mueirhol bae tih a kutdawn neh a saii te a bakop thiluh.
Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
9 Te dongah hlang he ngam vetih tongpa khaw kunyun ni. Tedae amih te dangrhoek boeh.
These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
10 BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah hmai lamloh, amah kah mingthennah rhuepomnah lungpang te paan saeh lamtah laipi khuiah khaw vuei uh saeh.
Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
11 Hlang kah a oeknah mik tah kunyun vetih hlang buhuengpomnah khaw ngam ni. Te dongah te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah long ni a hoeptlang eh.
Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA kah khohnin he thinthah neh aka pomsang boeih ham khaw, aka cangdoek neh kunyun boeih ham khaw om coeng.
The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
13 Lebanon lamphai boeih, Bashan kah thingsang, thinglen thingnu boeih ham khaw,
He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
14 Tlang sang boeih ham khaw, som thang boeih ham khaw,
He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
15 Rhaltoengim sang boeih ham khaw, vongtung, vong cak boeih ham khaw,
He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
16 Tarshish sangpho boeih ham khaw, sahnaih kutmuei boeih ham khaw om coeng.
He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
17 Te dongah hlang kah a oeknah te a ngam sak vetih, hlang kah buhuengpomnah khaw a kunyun sak ni. Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA amah bueng ni aka sang eh.
The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
18 Mueirhol rhoek khaw boeih khum ni.
Idols will completely vanish away.
19 Diklai he huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh amah mingthennah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang lungko neh laipi khui te a paan uh.
People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
20 Te khohnin ah hlang loh amah kah cak mueirhol, sui mueirhol khaw a voeih ni. A bawk ham te khothal la, pumphak la a saii uh.
On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
21 Diklai huek ham a thoh vaengah BOEIPA kah birhihnah hmai neh a hoemdamnah rhuepomnah lamloh lungpang thaelrhaep neh thaelpang thaelvap la pawk uh ni.
They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
22 A hnarhong neh aka hiil hlang te toeng laeh, anih te metlamlae a ngai aih.
Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
