Isaiah 62
1 A toenghaih to akhawnbang ih ni aengh baktiah aang moe, a pahlonghaih hmaithaw baktiah aang ai karoek to, Zion kawng pongah kang hngai duem mak ai, Jerusalem kawng pongah doeh ka ngam sut mak ai.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 Gentel kaminawk mah na toenghaih to hnu o ueloe, siangpahrangnawk boih mah na lensawkhaih to hnu o tih; Angraeng ih pakha hoi tacawt kangtha ahmin hoiah nang to kawk o tih boeh.
The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 Nangcae loe Angraeng ban pong ih lensawkhaih lumuek ah na om o ueloe, na Sithaw ban pong ih siangpahrang lumuek ah na om o tih.
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 Nang to Pahnawt sut ih kami, tiah na kawk o mak ai, na prae doeh kapong sut ahmuen, tiah kawk o mak ai; nang to Hephzibah, tiah na kawk o ueloe, na prae doeh Beulah, tiah kawk o tih boeh; Angraeng mah ang palung pongah, na prae loe sava sah tih boeh.
And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 Thendoeng mah tangla cuem zu haih baktih toengah, na capanawk mah nang to zu ah la tih; zu la kami mah a zu nuiah anghoehaih tawnh baktih toengah, na nuiah na Sithaw anghoehaih om tih.
For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Aw Jerusalem, na sipae nuiah misatoep kami to ka suek boeh, nihcae loe khoving khodai om o duem mak ai; anghak ai ah Angraeng kawk kaminawk, om o duem hmah,
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7 Jerusalem to caksak moe, long nuiah pakoehaih om ai karoek to anih to anghak o sak hmah.
and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Angraeng loe thacak, a bantang ban hoiah lokkamhaih to sak boeh; Nang ih cang to na misanawk hanah buh ah ka paek mak ai boeh, patanghaih hoi na sak ih misurtui to prae kalah kaminawk mah nae o mak ai boeh;
The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
9 toe cang aat kaminawk loe caa o ueloe, Angraeng to pakoeh o tih; misurthaih pakhrik kaminawk loe ka hmuenciim imthung ah nae o tih, tiah thuih.
but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
10 Tacawt oh, khongkha thung hoi tacawt oh! Kaminawk hanah loklam to paroep pae oh; manglaih lampui to sah oh, sah oh! Thlungnawk to takhoe oh; kaminawk hanah kahni payang pae oh.
Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 Khenah, Angraeng mah long boenghaih ahmuen khoek to lokthuih boeh; Zion canu khaeah, Khenah, nang pahlongkung loe angzoh boeh! Khenah, tangqum to a sinh moe, sak pathok let hanah hmuen doeh a sinh.
Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
12 Nihcae loe ciimcai kami, Angraeng mah akrang ih kami, tiah kawk o ueloe, minawk mah pahnawt sut ai ih, vangpui, tiah na kawk o tih.
They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
