1A misurdum ham ka lungnah kamah hlo te laa la ka hlai pawn ni. Molsom dongkah laimen ca ah ka lungnah misurdum om.
1Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2Te te a yoe tih a com phoeiah cangsawt misur te a phung. A laklung ah rhaltoengim a sak tih va-am a than pah. Misur a thaih ham te lamtawn dae a rhol la a thaih pah.
2He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3Jerusalem khosa neh Judah hlang, tahae ah kai laklo neh ka misurdum laklo ah laitloek uh laeh.
3“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4Ka misur ham te balae koep ka saii eh? Te ham te bi ka saii moenih a? Misur a thaih te ka lamtawn dae balae tih a rhol la a thaih?
4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
5Ka misurdum ah ka saii te nangmih kam ming sak pawn ni. A buk te a khoe vetih cahawp hamla om pawn ni. A vongtung te a phae vetih cawtkoi hamla om pawn ni.
5Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
6Te te lobuek la ka khueh vetih bah uh mahpawh. Yawt uh voel pawt vetih lota neh hling loh a cun ni. Khomai te khaw ka uen vetih khotlan loh tlan thil mahpawh.
6I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
7Caempuei BOEIPA kah misurdum tah Israel imkhui neh a hlahmaenah thinghloe Judah hlang ni. Tiktamnah te a lamtawn dae thilongnah, duengnah yuengla pangngawlnah lat om ke.
7For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
8Anunae im neh im loh ben uh tih, lo neh lo khaw a hmuen om pawt hilah ben uh. Khohmuen laklo ah namah bueng a na om rhoe.
8Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
9Ka hna dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh im len khaw imsuep la khueh het mahpawt nim?. A len neh a len khaw khosak sak mahpawt nim?
9In my ears, the LORD of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10Misurdum rhoihma parha ah bath pakhat la cul vetih, cangti pai at khaw cangnoek pakhat la cul ni.
10For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11Anunae mincang ah thoo tih yu a hloem uh tih, hlaemhmah kholaeh duela misurtui a hoem mai.
11Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
12Amih kah misur buhkoknah te rhotoeng, thangpa, kamrhing, phitphoet neh a thoeih thil. Tedae BOEIPA kah bisai tah paelki uh pawt tih a kut dongkah bibi hmu uh pawh.
12The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13Te dongah a mingnah tal tih ka pilnam a poelyoe pawn ni. A thangpomnah te khokha kah a hlang la, a hlangping khaw tuihalh loh a koek pah.
13Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14Te dongah saelkhui loh a hinglu a ka sak tih a rhi om kolla a ka a ang. Te vaengah a rhuepomnah neh a hlangping khaw, amah kah longlonah neh a khuila rholrhol suntla thuk.
14Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.
15Te dongah hlang he ngam vetih tongpa khaw kunyun ni, koep aka sang kah a mik khaw kunyun uh ni.
15So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16Tedae caempuei BOEIPA tah tiktamnah neh sang vetih, a cim Pathen tah duengnah neh ciim uh ni.
16but the LORD of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17Te vaengah tuca rhoek loh amamih kah rhamtlim bangla luem uh vetih, boei rhoek kah imrhong ah aka bakuep rhoek loh a caak uh ni.
17Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18Anunae, thaesainah te poeyoek rhuihet neh dumlai leng dongah rhuivaeh bangla aka mawt,
18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19Te rhoek loh, “A bibi te tawn koeloe la om saeh, te daengah ni m'hmuh vetih ha mop eh. Te vaengah Israel ka a cim cilsuep ha thoeng saeh lamtah ming uh van sih,” a ti uh.
19who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20Anunae, a thae te a then, a then te a thae aka ti rhoek, khosae yueng la a hmaisuep, hmaisuep yueng la hmaivang aka khueh rhoek, didip te khahing la, khahing te didip la aka khueh rhoek.
20Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21Anunae amamih mikhmuh ah aka cueih tih, amamih mikhmuh ah aka yakming rhoek aih.
21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22Anunae, hlangrhalh rhoek loh misurtui rhoeh a ok tih, tatthai hlang rhoek khaw yu neh rhoeh thoek uh.
22Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23Halang loh kapbaih dongah a tang sak dae, hlang dueng kah duengnah long tah anih te a voeih.
23who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24Te dongah hmai lai loh vahhu, hmaisai loh diphung a laeh bangla a yung te ungrhem vetih thinghmawn bangla om ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt uh tih, Israel kah a cim olthui te a tlaitlaek uh dongah, amih kah a pailum te laipi bangla poeng ni.
24Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh a pilnam taengah sai tangloeng coeng. Te vaengah a kut a thueng thil tih a ngawn. Te dongah tlang rhoek khaw tlai uh tih a rhok te rhamvoel laklo ah natcaeh bangla hmoeng. Te boeih nen khaw a thintoek mael pawt tih a kut a thueng pueng.
25Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26Khohla kah namtom rhoek ham rholik a ling pah tih, diklai khobawt ah anih ham kut a ving pah dongah, yanghoep la koe ha pawk coeng ke.
26He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27Anih tah buhmueh rhathih om pawt tih paloe tlaih pawh. A mikku pawt tih ip bal pawh. A pumpu kah hailaem khaw hlong pawt tih, a khokhom rhui khaw pat pawh.
27No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28A thaltang te sum vilcik tih a lii khaw boeih tangkuek. A marhang khomae te hmailung bangla, a humhae te cangpalam bangla a moeh pah.
28whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29Anih kah a kawknah tah sathuengnu bangla kawk la kawk. Sathueng ca bangla a nguel tih maeh khaw a tuuk. A khuen coeng tah huul pah voel pawh.
29Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
30Tekah khohnin ah tah tuipuei phoenanah bangla a nguel thil ni. Khohmuen te a paelki vaengah khohmuep khobing neh khosae khaw muei loh khoep a hmuep sak ni.
30They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
