Isaiah 43
1 Jakob nang aka suen tih Israel nang aka hlom Yahovah loh tahae ah tah, “Nang te kan tlan coeng dongah rhih boeh, nang te na ming neh kamah taengla kang khue coeng.
But nowe thus sayeth the Lord, that created thee, O Iaakob: and hee that formed thee, O Israel, Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name, thou art mine.
2 Tui te na kat vaengah nang taengah ka om vetih tuiva loh nang n'yo mahpawh. Hmai dongah na caeh vaengah na duih mahpawh. Hmaisai long khaw nang te n'dom mahpawh.
When thou passest through the waters, I wil be with thee, and through the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle vpon thee.
3 Kai tah Yahovah na Pathen, Israel kah a cim ni. Nang kah khangnah ham nang yuengla, Egypt Kusa neh Seba taengah nang kah tlansum ka paek coeng.
For I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Sauiour: I gaue Egypt for thy ransome, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.
4 Ka mikhmuh ah na phutlo tih n'thangpom coeng. Kai khaw nang kan lungnah tih nang yueng la hlang taengah, na hinglu yueng te namtu taengah ka paek ni.
Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honourable, and I loued thee, therefore will I giue man for thee, and people for thy sake.
5 Nang taengah kang om puei dongah rhih boeh. Na tiingan te khocuk lamloh kam pawk puei vetih namah te khotlak lamloh kan coi ni.
Feare not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seede from the East, and gather thee from the West.
6 tlangpuei taengah pae laeh, tuithim taengah khaw hloh boeh. Khohla lamkah ka ca rhoek neh ka tanu rhoek te diklai khobawt lamloh,
I will say to the North, Giue: and to the South, Keepe not backe: bring my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 ka ming neh ka khue boeih te hang khuen,” ka ti ni. Kamah thangpomnah ham anih ka suen tih ka hlinsai tih ka saii bal.
Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.
8 Mikdael mik neh hnapang hna aka om pilnam te khuen laeh.
I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.
9 Namtom boeih te tun coi uh thae tih namtu rhoek khaw tingtun uh. Hekah he amih taengah unim aka puen tih lamhma kah te mamih taengah aka yaak sak. Amamih kah laipai te tloeng saeh lamtah tang uh saeh. Te vaengah ya uh saeh lamtah oltak te thui uh saeh.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this and shewe vs former things? let them bring foorth their witnesses, that they may be iustified: but let them heare, and say, It is truth.
10 Nangmih tah kamah kah laipai rhoek ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Ka sal te khaw na ming uh tih kai nan tangnah uh ham ni ka tuek. Te daengah ni kai kamah mikhmuh ah pathen te poeh tarha pawt tih ka hnukah a om pawt ham khaw na yakming uh eh.
You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my seruant, whom I haue chosen: therefore yee shall knowe and beleeue me and yee shall vnderstand that I am: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Kai, kamah he Yahovah ni. Kai pawt atah khangnah om pawh.
I, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.
12 Kamah ka puen tih ka khang coeng. Ka yaak coeng dongah nangmih taengah kholong a om moenih. Nangmih tah kai laipai rhoek ni. “Kai tah Pathen ni” a ti he khaw BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
I haue declared, and I haue saued, and I haue shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, sayeth the Lord, that I am God.
13 A tue khohnin dongah khaw kamah coeng hoeh, ka kut lamkah huul mahpawh. Ka saii phoeiah u long a balkhong thai eh?
Yea, before the day was, I am, and there is none that can deliuer out of mine hand: I will doe it, and who shall let it?
14 Nangmih aka tlan BOEIPA, Israel kah a cim loh, “Nangmih ham Babylon la ka tueih vetih amih neh amamih kah a tamlung nah sangpho dongah Khalden khaw rhalyong rhoek bangla boeih kan suntlak puei ni.
Thus sayeth the Lord your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes.
15 Kai nangmih kah Yahovah cim, Israel aka suen, nangmih manghai ni,” a ti.
I am the Lord your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Tuitunli ah longpuei aka khueh tih tui len dongah aka hawn BOEIPA loh,
Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
17 Rhenten yalh khungdaeng tih a thoh uh kolla, thut bangla thi tih aka duek leng neh tatthai marhang aka khuen loh,
When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shall not rise: they are extinct, and quenched as towe.
18 hnukbuet te poek voel boel lamtah yan kah te khaw thoelh uh boeh.
Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.
19 Kai loh a thai la ka saii te poe coeng he. Khosoek ah longpuei, khopong ah tuiva ka khueh te khaw na ming uh moenih a?
Behold, I do a new thing: now shall it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse.
20 Ka coelh ka pilnam tul ham khopong kah tuiva tui te khosoek ah ka paek. Te dongah kohong mulhing pongui neh kalauk vanu loh kai n'thangpom.
The wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect.
21 Kamah ham ka hlom pilnam loh kai koehnah mah tae uh saeh.
This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.
22 Tedae Jakob loh kai he nan khue pawt tih Israel loh kai ham na kohnue coeng.
And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied me, O Israel.
23 Na hmueihhlutnah boiva te kai taengla nang khuen moenih. Na hmueih nen khaw kai nan thangpom moenih. Khocang nen khaw nang tho kan thueng sak pawt tih hmueihtui nen khaw nang kan kohnue sak moenih.
Thou hast not brought me the sheepe of thy burnt offrings, neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I haue not caused thee to serue with an offring, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Canhnam an te kai hamla tangka neh na lai moenih. Na hmueih tha nen khaw kai nan hmilhmal sak moenih. Tedae na tholhnah neh kai taengah tho na thueng tih, namah kathaesainah neh kai nan kohnue sak.
Thou boughtest mee no sweete sauour with money, neither hast thou made mee drunke with the fatte of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made mee to serue with thy sinnes, and wearied mee with thine iniquities.
25 Kai, kamah loh kamah ham ni na boekoek ka khoe. Te dongah na tholhnah te ka thoelh moenih.
I, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.
26 Kai he n'thoelh lah, laitloek rhenten lah sih, na tang te na tae lah mako.
Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.
27 Na pa cuek te tholh rhoe tih nang kah oldoe rhoek loh kai taengah boe a koek uh.
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers haue transgressed against me.
28 Te dongah hmuencim mangpa te ka poeih vetih Jakob te yaehtaboeih la, Israel te honah la ka khueh ni,” a ti.
Therefore I haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.
