Isaiah 28
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Misurtui paquih hoi long kahoih azawn hmuen ah kaom, Ephraim amoekhaih angraeng lumuek, azaem thaih lensawkhaih hoi kranghoihhaih apawk loe khosak bing!
1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with wine.
2Khenah, sak thaihaih hoi thacak Angraeng mah, qaetui hoi hmuennawk boih amrosak thaih takhi pui baktih, khopui angzoh moe, kalen parai tuinawk baktiah, tha hoi long ah va tih.
2Behold the Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious land.
3Mu paquih Ephraim kaminawk amoekhaih angraeng lumuek to, khok hoiah cawh pae tih.
3The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
4Long kahoih azawn ah kaom lensawkhaih hoi kranghoihaih loe azaem tathuk apawk baktih, pakhrikhaih atue pha ai naah kahmin nipui tue ih thingthai baktiah om tih; to thingthai to kami mah hnuk naah pakhrik moe caak roep.
4And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.
5To na niah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe, kanghmat angmah ih kaminawk hanah, lensawkhaih lumuek hoi kahoih parai lumuek ah om tih.
5In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:
6Anih loe lokcaek kaminawk khaeah, katoengah lokcaekhaih muithla ah oh moe, misanawk mah vangpui khongkha to muk naah thacakhaih paekkung ah oh.
6And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.
7Toe to kaminawk doeh misurtui pongah lamcaeh pazae o moe, mu pongah loklam amkhraeng o boeh; tahmaanawk hoi qaimanawk doeh mu pongah lamcaeh pazae o boeh; nihcae loe misurtui mah muek moe, mu pongah loklam amkhraeng o boih boeh; amsoem ai hnuksakhaih to a hnuk o moe, lokcaekhaih bangah amtimh o boeh.
7But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.
8Nihcae ih caboi loe kaciim ahmuen roe om ai, tamlok hoi panuet thok hmuen hoiah ni koi.
8For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.
9Anih mah mi maw patuk thai tang tih? Thaih kop hanah anih mah mi khaeah maw lok to thui pae tih? Tahnu amphi nawktanawk khaeah maw? Tahnu nae ai kaminawk khaeah maw thui pae tih?
9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.
10Amtukhaih maeto pacoeng maeto, catlang maeto pacoeng maeto, haeah zetta, hoah zetta hoiah amtuk han oh, tiah thuih o.
10For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.
11To pongah Angraeng mah prae kalah kaminawk ih lok to patoh ueloe, lok kalah hoiah hae kaminawk hanah lok to thui tih.
11For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.
12Anih mah to kaminawk khaeah, Hae loe angpho kaminawk anghakhaih ahmuen ah oh; hae loe anghakhaih ahmuen ni, tiah a naa. Toe nihcae mah lok tahngai pae o ai.
12To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and they would not hear.
13To pongah Angraeng ih lok loe nihcae hanah, amtukhaih maeto pacoeng maeto, catlang maeto pacoeng maeto; haeah zetta, hoah zetta ah om pae tih. To pacoengah nihcae loe caeh o ueloe, hnuk bangah amtim o tih; ahmaa caa o ueloe, thaang pongah aman o tih.
13And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14To pongah Jerusalem ih kami ukkung, kasae kaminawk, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh.
14Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.
15Duekhaih hoi lokmaihaih to ka sak o boeh, hell hoi doeh palungduehaih ka sak o boeh; tui uemhaih oh naah doeh, kaicae khaeah pha mak ai; kaicae loe amsawnlok pongah ka buep o moe, alinghaih tlim ah kang hawk o boeh, tiah na thuih o.
15For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected.
16To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, Zion ah angdoethaih thlung, tanoek tangcae ih thlung, atho kaom im takii ih thlung, kacakah angdoethaih thlung to ka thling boeh; to thlung oephaih tawn kami loe natuek naah doeh tasoehhaih tawn mak ai.
16Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.
17Katoengah lokcaekhaih to tahhaih qui ah ka patoh moe, toenghaih to qui ah ka patoh han; nihcae mah oep o ih amsawnlok to qaetui mah amrosak boih ueloe, nihcae anghawkhaih ahmuen to tui mah pazawk pae boih tih.
17And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.
18Duekhaih hoiah na sak o ih lokmaihaih to amro tih; taprong hoiah na sak o ih palungduehaih doeh cak mak ai; tui uemhaih phak naah tui mah nangcae to pazawk tih.
18And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it.
19Tui uemhaih phak naah nangcae to pazawk tih; akhawnbang kruek, khoving khodai, tui mah nangcae to pazawk tih; to tamthang to na thaih o naah zithaih to om tih.
19Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear.
20Angsonghaih iihkhun loe tak amzueng haih hanah duem tet ueloe, kahni doeh angkhuk hanah thoeng kae tih.
20For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.
21Angraeng loe angmah ih tok, anghmang kathok tok to sak hanah, a tok sakhaih hoi dawnrai koi kaom a tok sakhaih to pacoeng thai hanah, Perazim mae nuiah anih angthawk baktiah angthawk ueloe, Gibeon azawn ah palungphui ih baktih toengah palungphui tih.
21For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.
22To pongah kami pahnui thuihaih to vaihi toeng lai ah; to tih ai nahaeloe nang ih sumqui to caksak aep tih; long pum amrosak hanah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih lok to ka thaih boeh.
22And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.
23Ka thuih ih lok to thaih kop hanah, naa to patueng ah; ka lok hae tahngai ah loe pakuem ah.
23Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
24Laikok sah kami mah cangtii et hanah athun qui long atok maw? Anih mah long to talaih moe, takaeh khing maw?
24Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?
25Long to kangvan ah sak pacoengah na ai maw aanmunawk to patit moe, cungpram muunawk, cangtinawk, barley cang hoi tun muunawk to angmah ih ahmuen ah a haeh?
25Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?
26Sithaw mah anih hanah katoeng lokcaekhaih to paek moe, anih hanah katoeng loklam to thuih pae.
26For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.
27Hmuihoih aannawk loe khok hoiah atii vai ai, maitaw lakok hoiah doeh atii vai ai; toe hmuihoih aannawk loe cung hoiah boh o moe, cungpramkungnawk doeh thingboeng hoiah ni boh o.
27For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.
28Cang loe atit han oh; toe mi mah doeh atii tuektuek mak ai; atithaih hrang lakok khok hoiah atitsak cadoeh, cang to dipsak pung mak ai.
28But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
29Hae baktih hmuennawk doeh misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng khae hoiah ni angzoh; a thuih ih lok loe dawnrai han oh; palunghahaih doeh anghmang thoh.
29This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
