Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees
Amtang kaminawk ih hmuen to lomh pae moe, kamtang kai ih kaminawk toenghaih lak pae ving hanah, lamhmainawk to pacaekthlaek moe, ampa tawn ai kaminawk ih hmuenmae to lomh hanah, katoeng ai patukhaih daan sah kaminawk hoi pacaekthlaek hanah lok takroek kaminawk loe khosak bing!
2 to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor amongst my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
Thuitaekhaih ni hoi kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah angzo han koi amrohaih phak naah timaw na sak o han? Abomhaih hnik hanah mi khaeah maw na caeh o han? Nangmacae ih hmuenmae naa ah maw na suek o han?
4 They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Kai mah abomh ai nahaeloe nihcae loe misong ah kaom kaminawk tlim ah om o ueloe, hum ih kaminawk salakah amtimh o tih. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih to dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
5 Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!
Ka palungphuihaih cunghet, ka palungphuihaih thingboeng, Assyria loe khosak bing!
6 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me I will give him a command to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to tuk hanah, anih to ka patoeh moe, kai palungphuisak kaminawk to tuk pacoengah, tangnong baktiah loklam ah cawh hanah, anih to ka patoeh han.
7 However, he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
Toe hae loe anih mah sak atim ih hmuen na ai, anih palung thungah kaom hmuen doeh na ai ni; anih mah sak atimhaih loe kanoih parai prae kaminawk to phraek moe, amrosak han ih hae ni.
8 For he says, “Aren’t all of my princes kings?
Assyria siangpahrang mah, misatuh angraengnawk boih loe kai ih kami ah na ai maw oh o?
9 Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?”
Kalno vangpui, Karkhemish vangpui, Hammath vangpui, Arpad vangpui, Samaria vangpui hoi Damaska vangpui loe nihcae mah lak o boeh na ai maw? tiah thuih.
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem and of Samaria,
Jerusalem hoi Samaria vangpui ih krangnawk pongah kahoih kue, krang bok kaminawk ih prae to ka lomh pae boeh moe,
11 shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Samaria hoi anih ih krangnawk nuiah ka sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, Jerusalem hoi anih ih krangnawk nuiah doeh ka sah mak ai maw? tiah thuih.
12 Therefore it will happen that when the Lord has performed his whole work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the wilful proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the insolence of his arrogant looks.
Angraeng mah sak atim ih hmuen boih Zion mae hoi Jerusalem nuiah sah tih, anih loe poeksang moe, amoekhaih hoiah mik padai, Assyria siangpahrang to thuitaek tih.
13 For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
Anih mah, Hae hmuennawk loe ka ban thacakhaih hoi palunghahaih hoiah ni ka sak; kai loe palunghahaih hoiah acung; prae kaminawk ih ramri to ka tahruet pae moe, thacak kami mah nihcae ih siangpahrang pazawk pae baktih toengah, nihcae ih hmuenmae to ka lomh pae boeh:
14 My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, I have gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”
kami mah tavaa tabu thung ih tadui to lak baktih toengah, prae kaminawk boih ih angraenghaih to ka lak boeh; mi doeh pakhraeh bop ai, hangh hanah pakha ang o ai.
15 Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
Caka mah caka patohkung to laisaep thuih vai maw, to tih ai boeh loe thing aahhaih sarang mah patohkung nuiah amoek thuih vai maw? Thingboeng mah patohkung to atoengh tahang vai maw, kami mah na ai maw thingboeng to atoengh tahang? tiah a naa.
16 Therefore the Lord, GOD of Hosts, will send amongst his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
To pongah Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, kathawk hruk misatuh kaminawk khaeah nganzaek nathaih to patoeh ueloe, lensawkhaih hoiah ohhaih tlim ah kangqong hmai baktiah hmai mah kangh tih.
17 The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
Israel aanghaih loe kangqong hmai ah om tih; anih ih Ciimcai Sithaw loe hmaipalai ah om tih; anih ih kapring phroh hoi soekhring loe nito thung hmai mah kangh ueloe, amro boih tih.
18 He will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
Taw thung ih hmuennawk hoi long kahoih lawk hmuennawk boih, a hinghaih hoi a takpum doeh nawnto amro boih tih; nihcae loe nganna kaminawk baktiah thazok o tih.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
Anih taw thung ih kanghmat thingnawk doeh, nawkta mah cazin lak thai koiah zetta ni om sut tih boeh, tiah thuih.
20 It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
To na niah kanghmat Israel kami hoi kaloih anghmat Jakob imthung takohnawk loe, nihcae hum kami nuiah amha o mak ai boeh, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw nuiah ni amha o tih boeh.
21 A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Anghmat kami, kanghmat Jakob acaeng loe, Thacak Sithaw khaeah amlaem o let tih.
22 For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Israelnawk loe tuipui taeng ih savuet zetto pop o e, anghmat kaminawk ni amlaem o let tih; nihcae mah tongh o han koi amrohaih loe katoeng lokcaekhaih ah ni om tih.
23 For the Lord, GOD of Hosts, will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah prae boih nuiah suekcoek ih amrohaih to akoepsak tih.
24 Therefore the Lord, GOD of Hosts, says, “My people who dwell in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt did.
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, Izip kaminawk mah sak ih baktih toengah, Zion ah kaom kai ih kaminawk to Assyria kaminawk mah thingboeng hoiah bop o tih, nihcae mah thingboeng hoiah na pahuem o tih; toe nihcae to zii o hmah.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”
Palung ka phuihaih loe nihcae amrohaih ah oh baktih toengah, nangcae nuiah palung ka phuihaih loe nawnetta thungah dii tih boeh.
26 The LORD of Hosts will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.
Angraeng Sithaw mah Oreb lungsong taengah, Median kaminawk danpaek baktih toengah, Assyria kaminawk to thingboeng hoiah bop tih; Egypt prae ah tuipui to boh moe, tui koihsak baktih toengah a thacakhaih to amtuengsak tih.
27 It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
To na niah loe na palaeng ih hmuen kazit hoi na tahnong ih hmuen phawhhaih hnam to azuk pae ving tih boeh; situi to bawh boeh pongah, hmuen phawhhaih hnam to apet tih boeh.
28 He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
Misanawk loe Aiath vangpui ah phak o moe, Migron vangpui ah caeh o poe; Mikmash vangpui ah hmuenmae to amtik o:
29 They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.
mae salak ih loklam hoiah a caeh o moe, Geba ah anghak o; Ramah loe tasoeh moe, Saul ohhaih Gibeah loe cawnh ving.
30 Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
Aw Gallim canu, hang ah! Aw laishiah, tahngai ah! Anathoth loe tahmen thoh parai!
31 Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
Madmenah loe cawnh ving boeh; Gebim ih kaminawk doeh cawnh o moe, loih o boeh.
32 This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
To na niah loe Nob vangpui ah anghak o tih; Jerusalem ih mae, Zion canu ih mae ah a ban to takhoek tih.
33 Behold, the Lord, GOD of Hosts, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
Khenah, Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah zitthok thing tanghang to pakhruh ving tih; anih mah kasang parai thing tanghangnawk doeh pakhruh ueloe, kasang parai tanghangnawk doeh kahnaem ah pakhru tih.
34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
Taw thung ih thingnawk to caka hoiah pakhru tih, Babylon loe Thacak Kami ih ban hoiah amtim tih.
