1Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.
1Anunae Ariel, David loh a rhaeh thil Ariel khorha aih, a kum, kum ah n'koei saeh lamtah khotue te vael uh nawn.
2And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
2Ariel te ka kilh vetih rhahdueknah neh ngueknah om bitni. Te vaengah hmueihtuk la ka taengah om ni.
3I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
3Nang te kaluek la kang rhaeh thil vetih nang taengah laivung kan lun ni. Te phoeiah nang taengah kasam ka too ni.
4You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
4Na kunyun vaengah diklai lamloh m'voek vetih na olthui loh laipi lamkah n'rhuepthuep sak ni. Te vaengah na ol te diklai lamloh rhaitonghma bangla ha om vetih, laipi khui lamkah na olthui loh a muep ni.
5But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
5Tedae nang taengah aka lueng he laipi canghet bangla muep om ni. Hlanghaeng hlangping khaw cangkik bangla poeng vetih buengrhuet la pahoi om ni.
6you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.
6caempuei BOEIPA loh, khohum neh, lingluei neh, cangpalam puei kah ol neh, hlipuei neh ng'hip vetih hmai khuikah hmaihluei loh n'hlawp ni.
7All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
7Ariel aka muk namtom boeih neh aka muk carhui boeih, te te aka kilh a rhalvong te khaw hlaempang kah a mangthui tah mang pakhat neh a lilup la om ni.
8as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
8Bungpong khaw mang a man vaengkah bangla om ni. A caak coeng akhaw a haenghang neh a hinglu hoep hailek tih tuihalh ni a man. A ok akhaw a haenghang vaengah a buhmueh rhathih neh a hinglu halthi coeng ke. Tangkuet la Zion tlang aka muk namtom boeih khaw hlangping la om ni.
9Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.
9Uelh uh laeh, ngaihmang neh na mik buem uh. Mik buem rhuihmil neh a ngaengai te misurtui nen moenih, yu nen bal moenih.
10For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.
10BOEIPA loh mikku mueihla te nang soah ham bueih tih na mik na hna nah tonghma rhoek te a tahoeng sak tih na lu nah khohmu rhoek te a dah pah coeng.
11And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”
11Mangthui boeih he miknoek a daeng. cabu dongah nangmih ham ol la om coeng. Te te cabu aka hmat taengah a paek tih, “Tae mai he,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Te te miknoek a daeng tih ka noeng moenih,” a ti nah.
12Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
12Cabu te cabu aka ming pawt taengah a paek tih, “Tae dae he,” a ti nah hatah, “Ca ka ming moenih,” a ti.
13Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
13Te dongah ka Boeipa loh, “Pilnam long he a ka kak neh ha mop tih a hmui kak neh kai n'thangpom uh. A lungbuei tah kai lamloh a lakhla sak. Hlang kah olpaek a cang neh kai aka rhih bangla om.
14Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
14Te dongah pilnam he khobaerhambae neh mueipuel sak ham mueipuel hnatlak la ka koei ni he. Te vaengah aka cueih rhoek kah cueihnah he paltham vetih aka yakming rhoek kah yakmingnah khaw thuh uh ni.
15Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”
15Anunae cilsuep thuh ham te BOEIPA taeng lamloh aka muelh uh mai. A khoboe uh khaw khohmuep khuikah la om rhoe tih, “Mamih aka hmu te unim? mamih aka ming te unim?,” a ti uh.
16You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?
16Nangmih khuplat rhoek aw, ambop te amlai bangla a poek vetih bitat aka saii taengah, “Kai n'saii boeh,” ti saeh a? Benbonah la amah aka saii te yakming pawh,” ti saeh a?
17In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?
17A yolkai bet pueng pawt nim? Lebanon te cangphil cangngol neh ha mael vetih a cangthai te duup bangla a ngai ni.
18On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
18Tekah khohnin ah tah cabu dongkah olka te hnapang rhoek loh a yaak uh vetih khohmuep neh hmaisuep lamkah mikdael mik long khaw a hmuh uh ni.
19The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
19Kodo rhoek tah BOEIPA dongah kohoenah neh thap uh vetih khodaeng hlang rhoek khaw Israel kah hlangcim dongah omngaih uh ni.
20For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—
20Hlanghaeng te a khawk sak vetih hmuiyoi khaw a khah ni. Boethae neh aka hak rhoek khaw boeih a saii uh pueng ni.
21those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.
21Hlang he olka dongah lai a hm uh. Vongka ah a tluung neh dong a naat tih aka dueng te hinghong neh a vuei a nan uh.
22Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.
22Te dongah ni Abraham aka lat BOEIPA loh Jakob imkhui te, “Jakob te yahbai voel pawt vetih a maelhmai khaw hmaithikak mahpawh.
23For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
23Ka kut dongkah bibi te a ca rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah amah khui ah ka ming a ciim uh ni. Te vaengah Jakob kah a Hlangcim te a ciim uh vetih Israel Pathen taengah a sarhing uh ni.
24Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
24Te vaengah mueihla khohmang rhoek kah yakmingnah te a ming uh vetih cailak rhoek kah rhingtuknah a cang bitni,” a ti he.
