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.
Thus said Jehovah: 'Where [is] this — the bill of your mother's divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Lo, for your iniquities ye have been sold, And for your transgressions Hath your mother been sent away.
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.
Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.
3 Vaan ke a muem ka khuk tih tlamhni te a himbai la ka khueh pah.
I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And sackcloth I make 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 Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.
5 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh ka hna han cah dongah ka koek pawh, a hnuk la ka balkhong pawh.
The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not — backward I moved not.
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.
My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not 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.
And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
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.
Near [is] He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who [is] mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto 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.
Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who [is] he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.
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 [is] among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon 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.
Lo, all ye kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk ye in the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused to burn, From my hand hath this been to you, In grief ye lie down!
