1Judah manghai rhoek Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz neh Hezekiah tue vaengah Judah neh Jerusalem ham Amoz capa Isaiah loh a mangthui a hmuh.
1THE VISION of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2Vaan rhoek loh ya uh lamtah diklai long khaw hnakaeng saeh. BOEIPA loh, “Ka ca rhoek he ka pantai sak tih ka pomsang coeng dae, amamih long ni kai taengah boe a koek uh.
2Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: Children I have reared, and brought up, and they have rebelled against Me.
3Vaito loh amah aka lai te a ming tih laak long a boei kah kongduk te a hmat. Ka pilnam Israel loh ming voel pawt tih yakming voel pawh.
3The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider.
4A nunae, namtom laihmuh aih, thaesainah loh a payawk pilnam, thaehuet kah tiingan, poci kah a ca rhoek, BOEIPA te a hnoo uh tih Israel kah aka cim te a tlaitlaek dongah a hnuk la kholong uh coeng.
4Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken the LORD, they have contemned the Holy One of Israel, they are turned away backward.
5Balae tih koep kang ngawn eh? Koeknah te na koei uh tih na lu te a tlohtat kak la, na thinko boeih khaw hal coeng.
5On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
6A kho khopha lamloh a lu due hlang la om voel pawh. A tloh neh a hma, hmasoe a haeng khaw yawt uh pawt tih poi uh pawh, situi nen khaw yaih sak pawh.
6From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
7Na khohmuen te khopong la om coeng. Na khopuei rhoek hmai neh a hoeh coeng. Na diklai khaw na mikhmuh ah kholong loh han caak coeng. Te dongah khopong neh imrhong- bangla a kholong boeih coeng.
7Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.
8Zion nu misur dum kah poca bangla, uitang lo kah tlak bangla, khopuei a dum bangla hoei sut coeng,” a ti.
8And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9Caempuei BOEIPA loh mamih he rhaengnaeng la bet n'hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla ng'om vetih Gomorrah bangla n'lutlat uh.
9Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10Sodom rhalboei rhoek BOEIPA olka te ya uh lah. Gomorrah pilnam loh mamih Pathen kah olkhueng te hnakaeng thil lah.
10Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11Nangmih hmueih aka khawk te kai ham ee te? BOEIPA loh, “Hmueihhlutnah tutal, puetsuet kah a tha, vaito thii, tuca neh kikong loh n'lawt tih ka ngaih moenih.
11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD; I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12Kai mikhmuh ah phoe hamla na pawk uh vaengah na kut dongkah he unim aka suk tih kai kah vongup nan taelh uh.
12When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
13A Poeyoek la khocang nang khuen neh ng'koei boeh. Bo-ul khaw kai ham tueilaehkoi ni. Hlasae neh Sabbath ah tingtunnah a khue te khaw, boethae neh pahong khaw ka ueh thai pawh.
13Bring no more vain oblations; it is an offering of abomination unto Me; new moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations — I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.
14Nangmih kah hlasae neh na tingtunnah te ka hinglu loh a hmuhuet tih, kai ham laipuei la a poeh dongah ka phueih ka ngak.
14Your new moons and your appointed seasons My soul hateth; they are a burden unto Me; I am weary to bear them.
15Na kut na phuel uh vaengah nangmih taeng lamloh ka mik vik ka him ni. Thangthuinah loh puh cakhaw na kut ah hlang thii a bae dongah ka hnatun mahpawh.
15And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16Sil uh lamtah cim uh. Na khoboe thaenah khaw khoe uh lamtah ka mikhmuh lamkah thaehuet te toeng uh.
16Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes, cease to do evil;
17Voelphoeng hamla cang uh. Tiktamnah te tlap. Hlang hnaepnah te toel uh. Cadah te rhuun uh lamtah, nuhmai ham te oelh pah.
17Learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18Ha mop uh lamtah tluung uh thae pawn sih. BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih kah tholhnah te lingdik bangla om cakhaw vuel bangla om ni. Talam bangla thimyum cakhaw tumul bangla om ni,” a ti.
18Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19Na huem uh tih na hnatun uh atah khohmuen kah a thennah te na caak uh ni.
19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land;
20Tedae na aal tih na koek uh atah BOEIPA ol a thui coeng dongah cunghang na yook uh ni.
20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken.
21Khorha cakrhuet, tiktamnah neh aka bae te baelae tih pumyoi la poeh. Duengnah khaw a khuiah rhaehrhong dae hlang a ngawn coeng.
21How is the faithful city become a harlot! She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22Nangmih kah ngun te aek la poeh tih na yuhuem khaw tui neh poek uh coeng.
22Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
23Na mangpa rhoek a thinthah uh tih a pum la hlanghuen neh hui uh thae. Kapbaih a lungnah tih kapbaih ni a hloem. Cadah te laitloek pa uh pawt tih nuhmai kah tuituknah khaw amamih taengah phoe puei pawh.
23Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24Te dongah caempuei Boeipa, Yahovah, Israel kah samrhang olphong loh, “A nunae, Ka thunkha rhoek soah phu ka loh daengah ni ka rhal rhoek taengah dam ka ti pueng eh.
24Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries, and avenge Me of Mine enemies;
25Nangmih taengah ka kut kan thuung ni. Te vaengah na khen te lunghuem neh ka dung vetih na ti boeih ka khong ni.
25And I will turn My hand upon thee, and purge away thy dross as with lye, and will take away all thine alloy;
26Na laitloek te hnukbuet kah bangla, na olrhoep khaw lamhma kah bangla kan thuung ni. Tahae lamkah tah nang te duengnah khopuei, uepom khorha la ng'khue ni.
26And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27Zion te tiktamnah neh a lat vetih duengnah neh ha mael ni.
27Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.
28Tedae boekoek rhoek neh BOEIPA aka hnoo hlangtholh rhoek tah pocinah loh rhenten a khah ni.
28But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29Thingnu na nai uh te yak vetih, dum na tuek uh dongah khaw na hmai tal uh ni.
29For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30Rhokael te a hnah a hoo bangla, tui loh dum te a kaktah bangla na om uh ni.
30For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31Aka tlung khaw malpawt la, a bisai te hmaidi la poeh ni. Te vaengah a boktlap la rhenten a dom vetih thih uh mahpawh.
31And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
