Isaiah 45
1 Amah kah a koelh Cyrus te BOEIPA loh, “Namtom rhoek te a mikhmuh ah hnaa hamla a bantang kut te ka moem pah. A mikhmuh ah thohkhaih rhoek te ong hamla manghai rhoek cinghen khaw ka hlam pah ni. Te vaengah vongka te kalh uh mahpawh.
Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, To Cyrus, whom I hold by his right hand, To subdue nations before him, And ungird the loins of kings; To open before him the two-leaved gates, And the doors shall not be shut.
2 Kamah he na mikhmuh ah ka pongpa vetih ngoem te ka nolh rhoe ka nolh ni. Rhohum thohkhaih te ka thuk vetih thi thohkalh ka tloek ni.
I will go before thee, And make the high places plain; I will break in pieces the gates of brass, And cut in sunder the bars of iron.
3 Hmaisuep khuikah thakvoh neh a huephael kah kawn te nang taengah kam paek bitni. Te daengah ni BOEIPA kamah he na ming neh aka khue Israel Pathen la na ming eh.
I will give thee the treasures of darkness, And hidden riches of secret places, That thou mayst know that I am Jehovah Who calleth thee by name, the God of Israel.
4 Ka sal Jakob neh ka coelh Israel ham nang te na ming nen ni kang khue. Kai nan ming pawt cakhaw nang kan mingkhaep coeng.
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, And Israel, my chosen, I have called thee by thy name; I have spoken to thee as a friend, though thou hast not known me.
5 Kai he Yahovah ni. Kai kah a voelah a tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe khaw a om moenih. Nang te kam poeh mai cakhaw kai nan ming hae moenih.
I am Jehovah, and none else; There is no God besides me; I have girded thee, though thou hast not known me.
6 Kai Yahovah kamah pawt atah a tloe om pawt tih a tloe a om pawt te khocuk khomik taeng lamloh khotlak duela ming uh saeh.
That men may know from the rising of the sun, And from the West, that there is none besides me; I am Jehovah, and none else.
7 Vangnah aka hlinsai tih a hmuep aka suen. Rhoepnah aka saii tih boethae aka suen. Te rhoek boeih aka saii khaw BOEIPA kamah ni.
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, Jehovah, do all these things.
8 Vaan khaw a so lamkah ha pha lamtah khomong khaw duengnah ha sih saeh. Diklai te ong uh saeh lamtah daemnah loh thaihsu saeh. Duengnah khaw cuen laeh saeh. Te te kai Yahovah long ni ka suen.
Pour forth, ye heavens, from above; Ye clouds, shower down prosperity! Let the earth open, and bring forth salvation; Yea, let righteousness spring up together! I, Jehovah, create it.
9 Anunae, diklai paikaek lakli kah paikaek pakhat loh amah aka hlinsai te a oelh mai. Amlai loh amah aka picai te, “Nang kah bisai khaw banim na saii dae, a kut khaw om pawt nim?” a ti nah cop a?
Woe to him that contendeth with his Maker! A potsherd of the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? Or thy work say of thee, He hath no hands?
10 Anunae, a napa la, “Balae tih nan sak,” a manu te, “Balae tih nan yom?” aka ti mai.
Woe to him that saith to his father, Why dost thou beget? Or to his mother, Why dost thou bring forth?
11 Israel kah Yahovah cim neh anih aka hlinsai loh, “Aka thoeng ham te kamah n'dawt lah. Ka ca rhoek ham neh ka kut dongkah bisai ham te kai nan uen mai.
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask of me concerning things to come; My children, the work of my hands, leave them to me!
12 Kai loh diklai khaw diklai hman kah hlang khaw ka saii. Kai loh ka suen tangtae vaan ke khaw kamah kut loh a dih tih a caempuei rhoek khaw boeih ka uen.
I made the earth, And created man upon it; My hands spread out the heavens, And all their host did I arrange.
13 Anih te duengnah dongah ka haeng vetih a longpuei te boeih ka dueng pah ni. Anih loh kai kah khopuei te a khoeng vetih ka hlangsol la a tueih ni. A phu khaw thui mahpawh, kapbaih khaw hoe mahpawh,” a ti he caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui.
I have raised him up for salvation, And I will make all his ways plain; He shall build my city, and release my captives, Not for price, and not for ransom, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
14 BOEIPA loh Egypt kah thaphu khaw, Kusah neh hlang sang Sabean kah a thenpom loh nang te m'paan uh vetih namah taengah om uh ni. Nang hnukah hmaipom neh pongpa uh ni. Nang taengla ha pawk uh vaengah khaw bakop uh ni. Nang taengah te, “Nang taengah Pathen rhep om pai tih hlang tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe a om moenih,” tila thangthui uh ni.
Thus saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of the Ethiopians and Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to thee, and be thine; They shall follow thee; in chains shall they pass along; They shall fall down to thee, and make supplication to thee: “In thee alone is God, and there is none else; There is no other God.”
15 Namah tah Israel Pathen, khangkung neh muei aka thuh Pathen pai ni.
Truly thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the saviour!
16 Amih te thikat la boeih yak uh vetih a hmaithae uh bal ni. Muei saii kutthai rhoek te mingthae neh van uh ni.
They shall all be ashamed and confounded, They shall go to confusion together, That are makers of idols.
17 Israel te BOEIPA loh kumhal loeihnah dongah a khang ni. Kumhal ah a yoeyah la na yak voel pawt vetih na hmaithae voel mahpawh.
But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation; Ye shall never be ashamed, nor confounded.
18 He khaw vaan aka suen BOEIPA long ni a thui. Pathen amah loh diklai a hlom tih a saii. Diklai he a hinghong pawt ham a soepsoei phoeiah khosa rhoek ham a suen tih a hlinsai pah. BOEIPA kamah phoeiah a tloe a om moenih.
For thus saith Jehovah, who created the heavens; The God that formed the earth and made it; he that made it firm; He created it not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and none else.
19 A huephael neh diklai hmaisuep hmuen ah ka thui moenih. Jakob tiingan taengah hinghong la kai n'tlap ka ti nah moenih. Duengnah aka thui BOEIPA kamah loh vanat la ka puen.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I have not said to the race of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain! I, Jehovah, speak truth; I declare that which is right.
20 Namtom hlangyong rhoek te coi uh thae lamtah ha kun uh laeh. Thikat la ha mop uh laeh. Amamih kah mueithuk thing a phueih nawn khaw ming uh pawt tih aka khang thai pawh pathen taengah thangthui uh.
Assemble yourselves and come; Gather yourselves together, ye that are escaped of the nations! They are without understanding, who carry about with them the wood of their graven image, And pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Puen uh lamtah ha mop uh lah. Tun ah khaw uen uh thae saeh. Hlamat lamloh aka yaak sak tih daengrhae daengkhoi la aka puen te unim? BOEIPA kamah moenih a? Duengnah Pathen kamah pawt atah Pathen tloe om pawh. Kai phoeiah he khangkung a om moenih.
Proclaim ye, and bring them near, And let them take counsel together: Who hath made this known from ancient time? Who hath declared it of old? Is it not I, Jehovah, besides whom there is no God? A God that uttereth truth, and giveth salvation; there is none besides me.
22 Diklai khobawt boeih loh kai taengla ha mael uh lamtah khang la om uh lah. Kai Pathen phoeiah Pathen koep a om moenih.
Look to me, and be saved, all ye ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is none else.
23 Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng dongah ka ka lamloh aka thoeng duengnah ol tah balkhong voel mahpawh. Kai taengah khuklu boeih a cungkueng vetih ol boeih a caeng ni.
By myself have I sworn, The truth hath gone from my mouth, The word, that shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, That to me every tongue shall swear.
24 Kai BOEIPA bueng dongah ni duengnah neh a sarhi la a thui eh. Amah taengah aka lungoe rhoek khaw a taengla ha pawk uh vetih boeih yak uh ni.
“Only in Jehovah,” shall men say, “Is salvation and strength; To him shall come and be put to shame, All that are incensed against him.”
25 Israel kah tiingan boeih tah BOEIPA rhangneh tang uh vetih a thangthen uh ni.
Through Jehovah shall all the race of Israel be delivered, And in him shall they glory.
