Isaiah 47

1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Kasdim. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.

Aw Babylon canu tangla kacuem, caeh tathuk ah loe, maiphu thungah anghnu ah; Aw Khaldian canu, angraeng tangkhang pong na ai long ah anghnu ah; nangcae loe na pan daek moe, na nawk tuep, tiah mi mah doeh na naa mak ai boeh.

2 Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.

Cang kaehhaih thlung to lah loe, cang to kae ah; na mikhmai padaphaih to takhoe ah loe, na canghnak to angkhring ah, na phaih khoek to thlaek ah loe, vapuinawk to angkat ah.

3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”

Bangkrai ah na om tih, azathaih to na padap thai mak ai; mi doeh pathlung ai ah, lu kang lak han.

4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.

Kaicae pahlongkung loe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw, tiah ahmin oh.

5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Kasdim. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.

Aw Khaldian kaminawk ih canu, lok apae ai ah anghnu duem ah, vinghaih thungah caeh ah; nang loe praenawk ih angraeng zu, tiah mi mah doeh kawk o mak ai boeh.

6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.

Kaimah ih kaminawk nuiah palung ka phui, ka toep ih qawknawk doeh kam hnongsak boeh pongah, to hmuennawk to nangcae ban ah ka paek boeh; nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih roe na tawn ai; mitongnawk nuiah doeh kazit parai hmuen to na koeng pae boeh.

7 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.

angraeng zu ah ka oh poe han, tiah na poek pongah, hae hmuennawk hae na poek ai; nangmah khae kapha han koi hnukkhuem koekah kaom boenghaih doeh na poek ai.

8 “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’

To pongah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih bangah ka nawm acaeng moe, mawnhaih tawn ai ah khosah kami, kai ai ah loe kalah mi doeh om ai; kai loe lamhmai baktiah om sut mak ai, caanawk duekhaih doeh ka tongh mak ai, tiah poek kami nang, vaihi tahngai ah;

9 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.

nang loe miklet kop kami, taqawk thacakhaih hoiah tahmaa thaih kaminawk mah na bomh o khing cadoeh, caanawk duekhaih hoi lamhmai ah angcoenghaih hmuen hnetto mah akra ai ah nito thungah na pha thui tih.

10 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

Na sethaih to nang oep haih moe, Mi mah doeh hnu ai, tiah na thuih. Na palung thung hoi kai ai ah loe kalah mi doeh om ai, tiah na thuih moe, na panoekhaih hoi palung na hahaih mah na caehhaih loklam to anghmangsak boeh.

11 Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.

Raihaih na nuiah pha tih, naa bang hoiah maw angzoh, tiah na panoek mak ai; kawbangah doeh pathlaeng thai ai, raihaih mah na pha thui tih; na panoek ai ih amrohaih to na nuiah krah tih.

12 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have laboured from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.

Na nawkta nathuem hoiah na patoh ih miklet hoi angzo han koi hmuen tahmaahaihnawk to mah, kacakah angdoe haih ah; atho na hnu khoe doeh om tih, na pazawk thai khoe doeh om tih.

13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.

Nang loe kating ai pop lokthuihaih mah angphosak boeh. Van ah kaom hmuennawk khet kop kaminawk, cakaeh khet kop kaminawk, khrah khethaih hoi hmabang na tongh han koi hmuen thui thaih kaminawk to vaihi angthawk o nasoe loe, na nuiah angzo han koi amrohaih thung hoiah na pahlong o nasoe.

14 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.

Khenah, nihcae loe caphaeh baktiah ni oh o tangtang; nihcae loe hmai mah kang tih; angmacae hoi angmacae doeh thacak hmaipalai thung hoiah pahlong o thai ai; kami ngan betsak hanah hmaisaae to om mak ai, hmai angawt hanah doeh om mak ai.

15 The things that you laboured in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

Nang hoi nawnto toksah kami, na nawkta nathuem hoiah nang hoi nawnto hmuen zawhhaih sah kaminawk loe nang hanah to tiah sah o ueloe, maeto hoi maeto angmacae sakpazaehaih loklam ah caeh o tih, mi mah doeh nang to pahlong thai mak ai.
