Isaiah 32
1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
Khenah, siangpahrang mah toenghaih hoiah prae to uk tih, ukkung angraengnawk mah toenghaih hoiah uk o tih.
2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
Kami loe takhi song naah anghawkhaih ahmuen, takhi sae song naah abuephaih ahmuen ah om tih; long karoem ahmuen ih vapui tui baktiah om ueloe, ni kanaa ahmuen ih lungsong tahlip baktiah om tih.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
Hnukhaih mik tawn kaminawk loe mik pasim o mak ai, lokthaihaih naa tawn kaminawk mah doeh lok to tahngai o tih boeh.
4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
Panoekhaih tawn ai kami ih palung mah panoekhaih to tawn ueloe, lokaa mah doeh kamtuengah lok apae thai tih boeh.
5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
Kamthu loe khingya koi kaom kami ah poek o mak ai boeh; poeksae kami doeh pakoeh koi kaom ahmuen to paek mak ai boeh.
6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
Kamthu mah loe Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen to sak moe, Angraeng to kasae thuih hanah zok amthlam kami to zok amthlamsak aep, tui anghae kami han doeh tui anghaesak aep hanah, loksae apae ueloe, zae sakhaih khue to poek tih.
7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Kasae kami loe lok amlai o, kahoih ai hmuen to sak o; amtang kami mah loktang lok thui cadoeh, anih amrosak hanah kahoih ai hmuen to a poek o.
8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
Toe minawk abomh koeh kami loe kahoih hmuen to a poek pongah, anih loe minawk abomh koehhaih palungthin hoiah khosah tih.
9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
Thazoi ah kaom nangcae nongpatanawk, angthawk oh; acoehaih tawn ai canunawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai oh!
10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
acoehaih tawn ai nongpatanawk, nangcae loe pop parai ani hoi saning thungah raihaih na tong o tih; misurthaih om mak ai ueloe, misurthaih pakhrikhaih atue doeh pha mak ai.
11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
Thazoi ah kaom nongpatanawk, tasoeh oh; acoehaih tawn ai kami nang, mawn ah; na khukbuen to angkhring ah loe kazii to kaengah angzaeng ah.
12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
Long kahoih lawk hmuen hoi athaih kapop ah kathai misurkung pongah saoek atumhaih hoiah mawn oh.
13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
Kai kaminawk ih long loe kapring hoi soekhring hoiah koi tih; Ue, anghoehaih imnawk hoi vangpui nuiah doeh soekhring to amprawk tih;
14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
Angraeng ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak ving boeh pongah, vangpui thung ih atuen doeh angqai krang tih boeh; misatoephaih im hoi imsangnawk loe dungzan khoek to pong sut ueloe, laa hrangnawk prathaih ahmuen hoi tuunawk prathaih ahmuen ah om lat tih boeh;
15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
ranui bang hoi aicae nuiah Muithla kraih thuih naah loe, praezaek to long kahoih lawk hmuen ah angcoeng ueloe, long kahoih lawk hmuen doeh taw baktiah poekhaih atue to om tih boeh.
16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
Praezaek ah toenghaih hoi lokcaekhaih om ueloe, toenghaih to long kahoih lawk hmuen ah om poe tih boeh.
17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
Toenghaih mah angdaehhaih to omsak tih; toenghaih athaih loe dungzan monghaih hoi kacak poe oephaih ah om tih.
18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
Kai ih kaminawk loe misa monghaih ahmuen, mawnhaih om ai ahmuen, kamding rue ah anghakhaih ahmuen ah om o tih boeh;
19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
toe taw nuiah qaetui to krah ueloe, vangpui doeh long hoi kangvan ah ahnaem tathuk tih.
20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
Tui ohhaih ahmuen ah aanmu haeh kami, maitaw hoi laa hrangnawk to koeh baktiah prasak kaminawk loe tahamhoih.
