Isaiah 13
1 Babylon kawng pongah Amoz capa Isaiah mah hnuk ih hmuen loe,
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
2 maesang nuiah kahni to payang ah loe, nihcae to hang thui ah; angraengnawk ih khongkha thungah akun o thai hanah, ban hoiah kawk oh.
Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Ka ciimsak ih kaminawk to ka kawk moe, palung ka phuihaih akoepsak hanah, ka lensawkhaih ah anghoe kami, thacak misatuh kaminawk doeh ka kawk boeh.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
4 Maenawk nui ih lok loe kanoih parai kaminawk oh lok baktiah oh! Prae kaminawk nawnto amkhuenghaih lok to oh! Angraeng Sithaw loe misatuk hanah misatuh kaminawk to pakhueng boeh.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 Angraeng hoi anih palungphuihaih maiphawnawk loe prae to phraek boih hanah, kangthla parai prae, van boenghaih hoiah angzoh o.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Angraeng ih ani loe zoi boeh pongah, qah oh; to ani loe Thacak Angraeng khae hoi kangzo amrohaih baktiah om tih.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Hae tiah oh pongah kami ih bannawk loe thazok o boih tih, kami ih palungthinnawk doeh tui ah amkaw boih tih.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 Zithaih mah nihcae to ayaw khoep ueloe, nathaih hoi palungsethaih to tong o tih; nongpata caa oh tom nathuem ih kana baktiah kana panoek o tih; nihcae loe maeto hoi maeto dawnraihaih hoiah angkhen o tih, nihcae ih mikhmai loe hmai kamngaeh baktiah om tih.
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
9 Khenah, Angraeng ih ani loe angzo tih boeh, to ani loe ni kasae, kanung parai palungphuihaih niah om tih; athung ih kaminawk to anih mah paduek tih.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he will destroy its sinners out of it.
10 Van ih cakaehnawk hoi a taengah kaom hmuennawk doeh aang o mak ai boeh; tacawt tahang ni loe ving ueloe, khrah doeh aang mak ai boeh.
For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 Sethaih pongah long hae ka thuitaek moe, angmacae sakpazaehaih pongah kasae kaminawk to ka thuitaek han; poeksang kaminawk amoekhaih to ka boengsak moe, hmawsaeng kaminawk ih amoekhaih doeh atlim ah ka pakhrak pae tathuk han.
And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Kami to kaciim suitui pongah atho om kue ah ka sak moe, sui hoiah sak ih Ophir pongah doeh atho ka ohsak kue han.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng palungphuihaih ni, kanung parai anih palungphuihaih niah, van to ka huenh han, long loe a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthui ving tih.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 Prae kaminawk loe patom ih sakhi baktih, toepkung om ai tuu baktiah, kami boih angmah ih kaminawk khaeah amlaem o ueloe, angmacae ohhaih prae ah cawn o tih.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one to his own land.
15 Hnuk ih kaminawk to tayae hoi thun o ueloe, naeh ih kaminawk boih doeh sumsen hoiah hum o tih.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [to them] shall fall by the sword.
16 A caanawk loe angmacae mikhnuk ah long to va o haih ueloe, imnawk to phrae pae o tih, a zunawk doeh muk pae o tih.
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
17 Khenah, tangka to tiah doeh kapoek ai, sui doeh dawncang ai, Median kaminawk to nihcae tuk hanah misa kang thawksak han.
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Nihcae mah thendoengnawk to kalii hoiah kaat o tih; tapen kangtha nawktanawk doeh tahmen o mak ai, nihcae loe nawktanawk tahmenhaih mik roe tawn o mak ai.
[Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Siangpahrang ukhaih praenawk thungah lensawk, Babylon, Khaldia kaminawk amoekhaih loe, Sithaw mah phraek ih Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui baktiah om boih tih boeh.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellence, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 To vangpui thungah mi doeh khosah o mak ai, a caanawk dung khoek to to ah kami om mak ai boeh; Arab kaminawk mah doeh to ahmuen ah kahni im sah o mak ai, tuu toepkungnawk mah doeh to ahmuen ah tuu toephaih im to sah o mak ai.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 Toe praezaek ih kasan moinawk ni to ahmuen ah om o tih, nihcae ih imthung loe tasuinawk hoiah koi o tih; to ah bukbuhnawk to om o ueloe, satharnawk doeh to ah amhai o tih.
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 Nihcae ohhaih imsang hoiah taw uinawk to uuk o tih, kahoih parai siangpahrang imthung ah doeh tasuinawk ni om o tih boeh; to baktih atue loe zoi boeh, to ani loe akra mak ai boeh.
And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
