Isaiah 26
1 Tekah khohnin ah tah Judah kho ah hekah laa he a sak ni. “Mamih ham sarhi la aka tak khopuei, khangnah vongtung neh rhalmahvong khaw a khueh.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Vongka rhoek ong uh lamtah oltak aka ngaithuen namtu loh a dueng la kun van saeh.
Open all of you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Benbonah aka talong tih namah dongah aka pangtung kah rhoepnah ngaimongnah tah na kueinah ni.
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
4 BOEIPA dongah a yoeyah la pangtung lah. BOEIPA Yahweh tah kumhal lungpang la om.
Trust all of you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
5 Hmuensang khorha kah khosa khaw a ngam sak. Aka pomdoep uh te khaw diklai ah a kunyun, a kunyun sak tih, laipi khuila a bol.
For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust.
6 Te vaengah mangdaeng kah a kho, a kho ah tattloel kah khokan loh a taelh.
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 Aka dueng kah caehlong tah vanat tih aka thuem kah namtlak te a dueng la na saelh pah.
The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
8 BOEIPA namah kah caehlong tah tiktam pai, na ming ham nang kan lamtawn uh tih, ka hinglu ngaihlihnah tah namah poekkoepnah ham om saeh.
Yea, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
9 Ka hinglu neh khoyin ah nang kan ngaidam. Ka khui kah ka mueihla long khaw nang kan toem. Diklai hman kah na laitloeknah vanbangla lunglai dongkah khosa rhoek loh duengnah a cang uh.
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Halang te rhen mai cakhaw khohmuen kah duengnah khaw a cang moenih. Oldueng a phayoe sak tih BOEIPA kah rhimomnah te hmu pawh.
Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 BOEIPA nang kah kut thueng te hmu uh pawh. Pilnam kah thatlainah loh hmu saeh lamtah yahpok kolo saeh. Na rhal rhoek kah hmai long khaw amih te hlawp nawn saeh.
LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
12 BOEIPA aw, kaimih ham rhoepnah nan tloeng tih kamamih kah bitat boeih khaw kaimih yueng la na saii.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have wrought all our works in us.
13 Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA nang voelkah boei rhoek loh kaimih n'rhukom thil. Na ming neh namah bueng ni kam poek uh.
O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Aka duek rhoek te hing uh pawt tih sairhai he khaw thoo uh noek pawh. Te dongah amih te na hip tih na milh sak. Te vaengah amih poekkoepnah khaw boeih na paltham sak.
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Namtom te na thap coeng. BOEIPA namah loh na thap namtom loh namah n'thangpom coeng tih diklai khobawt khaw boeih na lakhla sak.
You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
16 Rhal lakli ah khaw BOEIPA namah te ng'hip uh tih amih te na thuituennah neh na calthai loh a kilh.
LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon them.
17 Aka vawn loh camoe om ham a tawn uh bangla, aka vawn loh a tharui khui kah a tloh neh a pang bangla, BOEIPA nang kah mikhmuh ah ka om uh tangkhuet.
Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
18 Ka vawn uh tih pumrih uh dae khohli ni ka cun uh. Diklai ah khangnah khaw n'saii uh pawt tih lunglai kah khosa khaw cungku uh hae pawh.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Namah ah aka duek rhoek tah hing uh ni. Ka rhok he khaw thoo ni. Laipi dongkah khosa rhoek khaw haenghang vetih tamhoe ni. Namah kah buemtui khosae buemtui bangla diklai long he sairhai rhoek te a cungku sak ni.
Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, all of you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Ka pilnam aw cet lamtah namah imkhui la kun laeh. Na thohkhaih te khai laeh. Kosi a poeng la a poeng hil tah mikhaptok ca khaw na hnuk longah bet thuh dae.
Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation pass over.
21 Diklai khosa rhoek kathaesainah te cawh hamla amah hmuen lamloh BOEIPA ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah a sokah thii te diklai loh a phoe vetih a pum dongkah a ngawn uh te khaw phah voel mahpawh.
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
