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 said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not 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 go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
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 have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your 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 the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have 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] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have 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.
So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, 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.
Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing 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, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, 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 [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has 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 [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring 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 said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command 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 made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
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 stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH 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 said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
15 Aw Israel Sithaw hoi pahlongkung, nang loe kamtueng ah kaom ai Sithaw ah na oh.
Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
16 Krang sah kaminawk loe palungboeng o ueloe, azat o boih tih; azathaih hoiah ahmin sae o tih.
They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
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.
Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
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 said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, 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 have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
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.
Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not 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.
Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except 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.
Turn to Me, and be 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, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
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.
Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
25 Toe Israel caanawk boih loe Angraeng pongah toenghaih to hnu o ueloe, lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
