Isaiah 8
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Toe Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Kalen parai caqam tangoeng maeto lah ah loe, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz kawng to cacung hoiah tarik ah.
1And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
2Qaima Uriah hoi Jeberekiah capa Zakariah to kai han oep kaom hnukung ah ka kawk han, tiah ang naa.
2And I took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
3To pacoengah tahmaa nongpata khaeah ka caeh; anih loe zokpomh moe, capa maeto sak. Angraeng mah kai khaeah, anih to Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, tiah ahminphui hanah ang thuih.
3And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
4To nawkta mah, Kam pa, kam no, tiah kawk thai ai naah, Damaska vangpui angraenghaih hoi Samaria vangpui ah lomh ih hmuennawk to Assyria siangpahrang mah la boih tih.
4For before the child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
5Angraeng mah kai khaeah lokthuih let;
5And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
6hae kaminawk loe amzaita hoi kalong Shiloah ih tui to pahnawt o moe, Rezin hoi Ramaliah capa nuiah anghoehaih tawnh o lat pongah,
6Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
7khenah, Assyria siangpahrang hoi anih ih thacak misatuh kaminawk boih, thacak pop parai vapui tuinawk to Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah longsak, vacong hoi tui taengnawk loe tui mah ueng boih boeh;
7Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his banks,
8tui loe Judah prae nuiah long tih, prae to uem boih ai karoek to tui to long tih, tui loe tahnong khoek to pha tih; Aw Immanuel, anih loe angmah ih pakhraeh to atoeng tahang ueloe, na prae to khuk boih tih, tiah ang naa.
8And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
9Prae kaminawk boih, tasoehhaih hoiah maeto ah angpop oh! Prae kangthla ah kaom kaminawk, tahngai oh; kazii to angzaeng oh loe, tasoeh oh! Kazii to angzaeng oh loe, tasoeh oh!
9Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
10Sithaw loe kaicae hoi nawnto oh pongah, nawnto nam khueng o e, tidoeh angcoeng mak ai; lok na thuih o e, na thuih o ih lok baktiah, tidoeh om mak ai.
10Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.
11Hae kaminawk ih loklam to ka pazui han ai ah, Angraeng mah a thacakhaih hoiah ang patawnh moe, lok ang thuih;
11For thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
12hae kaminawk, Khokhanhaih baktih toengah, nangcae doeh khokhan o toeng hmah; nihcae mah zit ih hmuen to zii o hmah loe, tasoeh doeh tasoeh o hmah.
12Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to khingya oh, anih khue to zii oh loe, anih zithaih khue to tawn oh,
13Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14Anih loe abuephaih hmuenciim ah om tih; toe Israel imthung takoh hnik hanah loe amthaekhaih hoi amtimhaih thlung ah om tih, Jerusalem kaminawk hanah loe, peet hoi thaang ah om tih.
14And he shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15Nihcae thung ih kanoih parai kaminawk loe amthaek o tih, amtim o ueloe, angkhaek o tih; thaang pongah aman o ueloe, naeh o tih, tiah thuih.
15And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
16Hnukung mah thuih ih lok to taoeng ah, kaalok hae catui daengah loe, kai hnukah bang kaminawk khaeah paek ah.
16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17Jakob imthung takoh nuiah mikhmai ka hawk han, Angraeng to ka zing moe, anih to ka pakrong han.
17And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18Khenah, kaimah hoi Angraeng mah paek ih nawktanawk loe haeah ka oh o; kaicae loe Zion mae ah kaom, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hanah, Israel prae thung ih angmathaih hoi dawnraihaih ah ka oh o.
18Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
19Kaminawk mah, Kadueh pakhra kawk kop kami, taqawk kawk thaih kami, amzaita hoiah lok to thuih moe, angzo han koi hmuen panoek thaih kaminawk khaeah lok dueng o khae, tiah ang thuih o naah, kadueh kami khaeah lok dueng pongah loe, acaeng kaminawk mah kahing angmacae ih Sithaw khaeah lok to dueng o mak ai maw?
19And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead?
20Toe nangcae loe kaalok hoi hnukung mah thuih ih lok to tahngai oh! Nihcae mah hae loktang lok baktiah lok to thui o ai nahaeloe, nihcae loe aanghaih tawn o ai vop tih haih ih ni.
20To the law rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
21Nihcae loe dawnraihaih, zok amthlamhaih hoiah ni prae thungah amhet o tih; nihcae loe zok amthlam naah, palungphuihaih hoiah van bangah khen o ueloe, angmacae ih siangpahrang hoi Sithaw to tangoeng o thui tih.
21And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
22Long bangah khet o tathuk naah doeh, raihaih hoi khovinghaih, dawnraihaih hoi tasoehhaih khue to hnu o tih; nihcae to khoving thungah haek boih tih.
22And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
