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 Yahweh, to his Anointed, to Cyrus—Whose right hand I have firmly grasped To subdue before him, nations, And the loins of kings, will I ungird, —To open, before him, the two-leaved doors, And, the gates, 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, before thee, will go, And the hills, will I level—The doors of bronze, will I break in pieces, And the bars of iron, will I cut asunder;
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.
Then will I give thee The treasures of darkness, Even the hoards of hidden places, —That thou mayest get to know That I—Yahweh, who am calling thee by thy name, am 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 my servant Jacob, Even Israel my chosen Therefore have I called unto thee by thy name, I give thee a title 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 Yahweh, and there is none else, Besides me, there is no God, —I gird 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 get to know. From the rising of the sun And from the west. That there is none besides me, —I, am Yahweh, and there is 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.
Forming light and creating darkness, Making prosperity, and creating misfortune, —I—Yahweh, who doeth all these.
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.
Let the drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness, —Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit—deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I—Yahweh, have created 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?
Alas for him who contendeth with his Fashioner, —A potsherd, [should contend] with the potsherds of the ground! Shall it be said by the clay, unto him that is fashioning it, What wouldst thou make? 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.
Alas, for one who saith to a father, What begettest thou? Or to a woman What 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, Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would command 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 caenmpuei rhoek khaw boeih ka uen.
I, made the earth, And man upon it, I created, —I—mine own hands, stretched out the heavens, And all their host, I commanded:
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 roused him up in righteousness, And all his roads, will I level, —He, shall build my city, And my captives, shall he let go, Not for price, nor for bribe, Saith Yahweh 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 Yahweh—The produce of Egypt and the gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of great stature, Unto thee, shall come over, And thine, shall they become, After thee, shall they journey, In chains, shall they come over, —And unto thee, shall they bow down Unto thee, shall they pray [saying], —Surely, in thee, is a GOD And there is none else—no, God!
15 Namah tah Israel Pathen, khangkung neh muei aka thuh Pathen pai ni.
Surely, thou, art a GOD utterly hiding thyself, —O God of Israel, able to save!
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 have turned pale and even been put to shame, all of them, —Together have they gone into disgrace, have the makers of images:
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.
Israel, hath been delivered by Yahweh, with an age-abiding deliverance, —Ye shall neither turn pale nor he put to shame, unto the ages of futurity,
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 Yahweh, Who created the heavens God himself! Who fashioned the earth—And made it Himself, established it, …Not a waste, created he it To be dwelt in, he fashioned it, …I, am Yahweh, and there is 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.
Not in secret, have I spoken In a place of the earth that is dark, —I have not said unto the seed of Jacob, In a waste, seek ye me, —I, am Yahweh, Speaking the thing that is right, Declaring the things that are just.
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 Draw near together, ye escaped of the nations, —They know not Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray unto a GOD who 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.
Tell ye—and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together, —Who let this be known aforetime. In time past, declared it? Was it not, I—Yahweh? And there is none else that is God besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, 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.
Turn unto me—and be ye 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, Gone forth out of my mouth, is righteousness as a decree And shall not turn back, —That, unto myself, Shall bow every knee, Shall swear every tongue:
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 Yahweh—for me, Hath one said, Is there righteousness and strength, Unto him, shall come and turn pale—All who have been incensed against him:
25 Israel kah tiingan boeih tah BOEIPA rhangneh tang uh vetih a thangthen uh ni.
In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves—All the seed of Israel.
