Isaiah 50
1 BOEIPA loh, “Na manu ka tueih vaengkah yuuhlak cabu te ta melae. Nangmih taengah kan yoih vaengkah kai kah lai aka ba te unim. Namamih kathaesainah loh n'yoih tih na boekoek long ni na nu khaw a tueih ne.
Yahweh says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
2 Balae tih ka pawk vaengah hlang ana om pawh? Ka khue vaengah aka doo om pawh? Tlannah ham te ka kut ngun khaw ngun a? Nang huul ham te ka khuiah thadueng a om moenih a? Kai kah tluungnah dongah tuipuei khaw ka khah. Tuiva khaw khosoek la ka khueh tih a nga khaw rhim. Tui om pawt tih tuihalh loh a duek sak.
Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
3 Vaan ke a muem ka khuk tih tlamhni te a himbai la ka khueh pah.
I clothe the heavens with blackness. I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 Lamlum he olka nen khaw tungduel ham neh ming sak ham ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai taengah lolmang cil m'paek. Mincang bal, mincang bal amah haenghang coeng. Kamah khaw ka hna ah lolmang la yaak sak ham n'haeng.
The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh ka hna han cah dongah ka koek pawh, a hnuk la ka balkhong pawh.
The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear. I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
6 Kai aka taam rhoek taengah ka nam, ka maelhmai aka thool sak ham ka kam kaduen pah. Mingthae neh timthoeih khaw ka thuh tak pawh.
I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai m'bom dongah ka hmaithae mahpawh. Te dongah ka maelhmai he hmailung bangla ka khueh tih yah ka poh mahpawh tila ka ming.
For the Lord Yahweh will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed.
8 Kai aka tang sak khaw yoei ngawn. Unim kai taengah aka oelh eh? Tun pai uh sih. Ka kah laitloek boei te unim? Kai taengla ha mop saeh.
He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai m'bom ta he. U amah long nim kai m'boe sak eh? Amih ke himbai bangla boeih hmawn vetih bungbo long ni a caak eh.
Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
10 Nangmih khuiah BOEIPA aka rhih tih a sal kah ol aka hnatun te unim? Tamyin ah aka pongpa te tah anih ham a aa om pawh. Yahweh ming dongah pangtung saeh lamtah a Pathen dongah hangdang saeh.
Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.
11 Nangmih boeih loh hmai aka hlae tih hmaipom aka vah rhoek loh namamih kah hmaipuei hmai khuiah pongpa uh. Ka kut lamkah hmaipom na tok te namah taengla ha pak vetih kosilungnan la na yalh bitni,” a ti.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves, walk in the flame of your fire, and among the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: you will lie down in sorrow.
