< Isaiah 14 >

1 BOEIPA loh Jakob te a haidam vetih Israel te koep a coelh ni. Amih te amah khohmuen ah a khueh vetih yinlai loh amih taengah naep ni. Te vaengah yinlai khaw Jakob imkhui la thawth uh ni.
Her time is near at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose out of Israel, and will make them rest upon their own ground: and the stranger shall be joined with them, and shall adhere to the house of Jacob.
2 Amih te pilnam loh a khuen vetih amah hmuen la a thak ni. BOEIPA kah khohmuen ah amih te Israel imkhui kah salnu neh salpa la a pang uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah a sol te a hlang sol a khueh uh vetih amih aka tueihno rhoek te a taemrhai uh ni.
And the people shall take them, and bring them into their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall make them captives that had taken them, and shall subdue their oppressors.
3 Na tloh khui lamloh, nang kah khoponah khui lamloh, nang taengah manghkhak la aka thohtat sak thohtatnah lamloh nang duem sak ham BOEIPA kah khohnin ha pawk ni.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that when God shall give thee rest from thy labour, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage, wherewith thou didst serve before,
4 Te vaengah Babylon manghai taengah thuidoeknah he na khuen vetih, “Tueihno te metlam a paa tih thisanah a kangkuen mai.
Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath ceased?
5 BOEIPA loh halang kah conghol neh boei kah mancai khaw a khaem pah coeng.
The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,
6 Hmasoe kah a thinpom neh pilnam a ngawn. Koeknah pawt khaw, thintoek neh a namtom taemrhai tih, phaepnah te tuem pawh.
That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
7 Duem aka mong diklai pum khaw tamlung neh rhong uh coeng.
The whole earth is quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.
8 Hmaical loh nang te n'kokhah thil tih na yalh vaeng lamkah long ni Lebanon lamphai loh, “Mamih aka vung te pongpa voel pawh,” a ti coeng.
The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.
9 Saelkhui te nang doe hamla ha pawk vaengah nang ham te a laedil ah tlai coeng. Diklai kikong boeih kah sairhai te nang hamla a haeng coeng tih namtom manghai boeih te a ngolkhoel lamloh a thoh sak. (Sheol h7585)
Hell below was in an uproar to meet thee at thy coming, it stirred up the giants for thee. All the princes of the earth are risen up from their thrones, all the princes of nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Amih te boeih a doo uh vetih nang taengah, “Namah khaw kaimih bangla na nue coeng tih kaimih bang boeiloeih la na om coeng.
All shall answer, and say to thee: Thou also art wounded as well as we, thou art become like unto us.
11 Na hoemdamnah na thangpa ol te, Saelkhui la a suntlak sak coeng. Namah hmui ah arhit phaih uh tih na dakda talam la poeh coeng,” na ti uh bitni. (Sheol h7585)
Thy pride is brought down to hell, thy carcass is fallen down: under thee shall the moth be strewed, and worms shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 Yaoe thuipa khaw vaan lamloh na cungku mai tih khothaih capa khaw diklai la m'vung tih namtom taengah aka rhaa uh mai.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
13 Nang khaw na thinko ah,” Vaan la ka luei hang vetih Pathen kah aisi soah ka ngolkhoel ka pomsang saeh lamtah tlangpuei tlanghlaep kah tingtunnah tlang ah ka ngol eh.
And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north.
14 Hmuensang khomai dongah ka cet vetih Khohni te ka puet eh?,” na ti.
I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.
15 Tedae tangrhom laedil kah saelkhui la na suntla coeng. (Sheol h7585)
But yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, into the depth of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Nang aka hmu rhoek loh namah te m'hmaitang uh. Nang kawng te, “Diklai aka tlai sak tih ram aka hinghuen hlang te a?
They that shall see thee, shall turn toward thee, and behold thee. Is this the man that troubled the earth, that shook kingdoms,
17 Lunglai te khosoek la aka khueh tih khopuei khaw a koengloeng. A thongtla te im la hlah pawh,” tila m'hmat uh.
That made the world a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the prison to his prisoners?
18 Namtom manghai boeih khaw a thangpomnah neh a im ah a pum la rhip yalh uh.
All the kings of the nations have all of them slept in glory, every one in his own house.
19 Tedae nang te thingpae bangla na phuel lamloh m'voeih. cunghang neh a thun tih a ngawn kah pueinak bangla n'tuei coeng. Lungto tangrhom khuila aka suntla rhok bangla n'suntlae coeng.
But thou art cast out of thy grave, as an unprofitable branch defiled, and wrapped up among them that were slain by the sword, and art gone down to the bottom of the pit, as a rotten carcass.
20 Na khohmuen kah na pilnam te na phae tih na ngawn coeng dongah phuel ah khaw amih te pitpom sak mahpawh. Thaehuet rhoek kah tiingan tah kumhal duela thoel boel saeh.
Thou shalt not keep company with them, even in burial: for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people: the seed of the wicked shall not be named for ever.
21 Amih te thoo mahpawt nim, a napa rhoek kathaesainah kongah a ca rhoek ham saicaeh hmuen te soepsoei pauh. Te daengah ni khohmuen te a pang uh vetih khopuei kah lunglai hman ah a baetawt uh eh.
Prepare his children for slaughter for the iniquity of their fathers: they shall not rise up, nor inherit the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 Amih voelah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong te ka thoh puei vetih Babylon ming neh a ca aka sueng te khaw, a cadil khaw ka saii ni. BOEIPA olphong coeng ni he.
And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remains, and the bud, and the offspring, saith the Lord.
23 Khopuei te kharhoeng hut neh tuibap tui la ka khueh ni. Lungtang neh ka nawt vetih ka mitmoeng sak ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni he.
And I will make it a possession for the ericius and pools of waters, and I will sweep it and wear it out with a besom, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 Caempuei BOEIPA loh a toemngam tih, “Ka cai bangla om tangloeng tih ka uen bangla a thoh tangkhuet moenih a? a ti.
The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,
25 Ka khohmuen kah Assyria khaem hamla ka tlang dongah ka suntlae ni. Te vaengah amih lamkah a hnamkun te a dul vetih a laengpang dong lamkah a hnorhih a hal ni.
So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken off their shoulder.
26 Hekah cilsuep he diklai pum ham ni a poek tih kut he khaw namtom rhoek boeih a thueng thil coeng.
This is the counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.
27 caempuei BOEIPA loh a uen coeng dongah u long a phae voel. A kut te a thueng coeng dongah u long a yueh thai voel.
For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?
28 Manghai Ahaz a dueknah kum ah hekah olrhuh he ha pawk.
In the year that king Achaz died, was this burden:
29 Nang aka ngawn mancai a tlawt te Philistia nang loh boeih kokhahnah boeh. Rhul a yung te rhulthae la thoeng vetih a thaih te aka ding minyuk la poeh ni.
Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.
30 Tattloel rhoek kah caming rhoek te luem uh vetih khodaeng rhoek khaw ngaikhuek la kol uh ni. Tedae na yung te khokha neh ka duek sak vetih na meet te a ngawn ni.
And the firstborn of the poor shall be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.
31 Vongka nang rhung laeh. Khopuei nang pang laeh. Tlangpuei lamkah hmaikhu ha thoeng tih a caempa khuiah a pangoe pawt dongah Philistia nang tah boeih paci coeng.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.
32 BOEIPA loh Zion a suen tih a khuiah a pilnam mangdaeng a ying ham te namtom puencawn loh metlam a doo eh.
And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.
