Isaiah 45
1 Angmah situi to bawh moe, a bantang ban ka patawn ih, Cyrus khaeah, prae kaminawk boih a hmaa ah akun hanah, Angraeng mah, siangpahrangnawk ih khukbuen to khring pae moe, khongkhanawk to khah han ai ah, ahmaa ah khongkha hnetto paong pae ah, tiah thuih;
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 na hmaa ah ka caeh moe, kangkoih ahmuennawk to ka toengsak han; sumkamling hoiah sak ih khongkhanawk to ka phraek moe, takraenghaih sumboengnawk to ka khaeh pae han.
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 Kai loe Angraeng, Israel Sithaw, ahmin hoiah nangcae kawkkung ah ka oh, tiah na panoek o thai hanah, kaving thung ih hmuennawk to kang paek moe, panoek ai ih ahmuen ah kanghawk angraenghaih doeh kang paek o han.
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
4 Cyrus, ka tamna Jakob hoi ka qoih ih Israel pongah ni, nang to ahmin hoiah kang kawk; toe kai hae nang panoek ai, toe na hmin hoihaih to kang paek.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, kalah roe om ai, kai ai ah loe Sithaw om ai; Kai hae nang panoek ai, toe na kaeng to kacakah kang zaeng pae.
I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 Ni tacawthaih hoi niduem khoek to, kaminawk mah kai ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai, tiah panoek o tih. Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, kai pacoengah kalah mi doeh om ai boeh.
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.
7 Aanghaih to ka ohsak moe, vinghaih doeh ka sak; angdaehhaih ka sak moe, amrohaih doeh ka sak; hae hmuennawk boih loe Kai, Angraeng mah ni ka sak.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
8 Nangcae vannawk, ranui bang hoiah kho angzo oh; toenghaih loe van bang hoiah kho baktiah angzosak nasoe; long hae am-ong nasoe loe, pahlonghaih thingthai to athai nasoe; toenghaih loe nawnto tacawt tahang nasoe; Kai, Angraeng mah to hmuen to ka sak boeh.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Angmah Sahkung hoi angzoeh kami loe khosak bing! Anih loe long ah kaom kakoi long laom baktiah ni oh. Amlai long mah laom sahkung khaeah, Timaw na sak? tiah naa thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe kai sahkung loe ban tawn ai, tiah thui thai tih maw?
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Nawktanawk mah ampa hanah, Kawbaktih hmuen maw na sak? To tih ai boeh loe amno hanah, Kawbaktih hmuen maw na tapen? tiah thui kami loe khosak bing!
Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Angraeng, nihcae Sahkung, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; angzo han koi hmuennawk, ka capanawk kawng hoi ban hoi ka sak ih hmuennawk kawng pongah, nangcae mah lok nang dueng o han om ai.
Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 Long loe kai mah ni ka sak, a nuiah kaom kami doeh ka sak; Kaimah ih ban hoi roe ah vannawk to ka payuengh moe, cakaehnawk to lok ka paek boih.
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 Toenghaih hoiah anih to ka pathawk tahang, anih caehhaih loklamnawk to ka hnuksak boih han; anih mah ka vangpui to sah ueloe, atho paek ai, tangqum paekhaih doeh om ai ah, naeh ih kaminawk to loisak tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
14 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Izip prae ah hak o ih hmuenmaenawk, Ethiopia kaminawk hoi somsang kahoih kaminawk mah hmuenmae zawhhaih hoiah hak o ih hmuennawk to nangcae khaeah pha tih, to hmuennawk loe nangcae ih hmuen ah om tih; nihcae loe qui hoi pathlet pacoengah, nangcae hnukah bang o tih; nangcae hmaa ah tabok o ueloe, nangcae khaeah, Sithaw loe oh tangtang; to Sithaw ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai, tiah nangcae khaeah tahmenhaih hni o tih.
Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God.
15 Aw Israel Sithaw hoi pahlongkung, nang loe kamtueng ah kaom ai Sithaw ah na oh.
Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Krang sah kaminawk loe palungboeng o ueloe, azat o boih tih; azathaih hoiah ahmin sae o tih.
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.
17 Toe Israel loe Angraeng mah pahlong tih, dungzan pahlonghaih to hnu tih; azathaih tong mak ai, dungzan khoek to azathaih hoi palungboenghaih om mak ai boeh.
[But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 Vannawk sahkung, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Long loe Sithaw angmah sak moe, a caksak; azom pui ah oh hanah long hae sah ai; kami oh han ih ni a sak; Kai loe Angraeng ni, Angraeng kalah mi doeh om ai.
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
19 Kai loe tamquta hoi lok ka thui ai moe, long vinghaih ahmuen hoiah doeh lok ka thui ai; Jakob ih caanawk khaeah, Atho om ai ah kai hae pakrong oh, tiah ka thui ai; Kai, Angraeng loe toenghaih to ka thuih moe, loktang lok ni ka thuih.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Angzoh oh loe, maeto ah amkhueng oh; misa loih prae kaminawk boih, nawnto amkhueng oh; thing hoiah krang sah kaminawk, pahlong thai ai sithawnawk khaeah lawkthui kami loe, panoekhaih tidoeh tawn ai kami ah ni oh o.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.
21 Na tok sakhaih to angzo o haih ah loe thui oh; ue, kaminawk to kawk oh, lok nawnto thui o nasoe; canghnii hoiah hae hmuen kawng thui kami loe mi aa? To nathuem hoi kamtong mi mah maw thuih? Kai, Angraeng mah na ai maw ka thuih? Kai ai ah loe Sithaw kalah om ai; Kai loe katoeng Sithaw, pahlongkung ah ka oh; kai ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai.
Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
22 Kai loe Sithaw ah ka oh, kai ai ah loe kalah Sithaw om ai boeh pongah, long boenghaih ah kaom kaminawk, kai hae na khen o ah loe pahlong ah om oh.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.
23 Kami boih ka hmaa ah khokkhu cangkrawn o ueloe, palainawk boih mah lokkamhaih to sah o tih, tiah kaimah hoi kaimah lokkamhaih to ka sak boeh; ka pakha thung hoi tacawt toenghaih lok loe akoep ai ah amlaem let mak ai.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Toenghaih hoi thacakhaih loe Angraeng ah ni oh, tiah kami boih mah thui o tih; Angraeng to misa ah suem kaminawk to anih khaeah angzo o ueloe, azathaih hoiah om o tih.
Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 Toe Israel caanawk boih loe Angraeng pongah toenghaih to hnu o ueloe, lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
