Isaiah 51
1 Duengnah aka hloem tih BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun lah. Nangmih n'daeh nah lungpang neh nangmih n'koeih nah lungkhui tangrhom te paelki uh.
Hearken unto me, Ye that pursue righteousness, Ye that seek Yahweh, —Look well unto the rock whence ye were hewn, And unto the quarry whence ye were digged:
2 Na pa Abraham neh nangmih aka yom Sarah te so lah. Anih te pakhat bueng ni ka khue dae anih yoethen ka paek tih ka ping sak.
Look well unto Abraham your father, And unto Sarah who gave you birth, —For he was, alone, when called I him, And, I blessed him that I might make him, many.
3 BOEIPA loh Zion a hloep vetih a imrhong khaw boeih a hloep pah ni. A khosoek te Eden bangla, a kolken te BOEIPA dum bangla a khueh ni. A khuiah omngaihnah neh kohoenah a hmuh vetih, uemonah neh oldi ol a yaak ni.
For Yahweh hath comforted Zion, He hath comforted all her waste places, And hath made her wilderness like Eden, And her waste plain like the garden of Yahweh, —Joy and gladness, shall be found in her, Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Ka pilnam loh kamah taengah hnatung uh lamtah ka namtu loh kamah taengah hnakaeng uh. Olkhueng tah kai taeng lamloh ha thoeng vetih ka tiktamnah te pilnam kah vangnah la ka hoep ni.
Attend unto me, O my people, And, O, my nation unto me give ear, —For, instruction, from me, shall go forth, And, my justice—for a light of peoples, will I establish:
5 Ka duengnah he yoei tih kai kah daemnah tah ha pawk coeng. Ka ban loh pilnam ham lai a tloek ni. Kamah he sanglak rhoek loh n'lamtawn uh tih ka ban a ngaiuep uh.
At hand is my righteousness. Gone forth hath my salvation, And, mine own arms, unto the peoples, shall give justice, —Upon me, Coastlands, shall wait, And for mine arm, shall they hope.
6 Na mik vaan la dai lamtah diklai dangdik ke khaw paelki lah. Vaan ke hmaikhu bangla cing vetih diklai khaw himbai bangla hmawn ni. A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw pilhlip bangla duek ni. Kamah kah khangnah he kumhal duela om vetih ka duengnah he rhihyawp mahpawh.
Lift up—to the heavens—your eyes, And look around to the earth beneath Though, the heavens, like smoke, should have vanished And, the earth, like a garment, should fall to pieces, And, her inhabitants, in like manner, should die, Yet, my salvation, unto times age-abiding, shall continue, And, my righteousness, shall not be broken down.
7 Duengnah aka ming tih a lungbuei ah ka olkhueng aka dueh pilnam loh kamah taengah hnatun uh lah. Hlanghing kah kokhahnah te rhih uh boel lamtah amih kah honah dongah rhihyawp uh boeh.
Hearken unto me ye who discern righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law, —Do not fear the reproach of frail men, Nor at their revilings, be dismayed;
8 Amih te bungbo loh himbai bangla a caak vetih keet loh tumul bangla a yoop ni. Tedae kai kah duengnah tah kumhal duela, kamah kah khangnah he cadilcahma kah cadilcahma duela om ni.
For like a garment, shall they be eaten of the moth, And like wool, shall they be eaten of the larva; But, my righteousness, unto times age-abiding shall continue, And, my salvation, unto the remotest generation.
9 Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, BOEIPA bantha kah a sarhi te bai laeh. Khosuen thawnpuei khothoeng tue kah bangla haenghang laeh. Rahab aka daeh tih tuihnam aka poeih te nang moenih a?
Awake, awake put on strength, O arm of Yahweh, Awake, As in days of old, The generations of bygone ages: Art not thou that which—Hewed down Rahab, Piercing the Crocodile?
10 Tuipuei tui aka dung tangkik aka kak sak, a tlan rhoek loh a kat nah ham longpuei te tuipuei dung ah aka khueh khaw nang moenih a?
Art not thou that which dried up—The Sea, The waters of the mighty Deep, —That which made of the abysses of the sea a road for the passing over of the redeemed?
11 Te dongah BOEIPA kah a lat rhoek tah ha mael uh vetih tamlung neh, a lu dongkah kumhal kohoenah neh Zion a pha uh ni. Omngaihnah neh kohoenah loh a kae vaengah tah kothaenah neh hueinah khaw rhaelrham pawn ni.
Therefore, the ransomed of Yahweh, shall again come unto Zion, with shouts of triumph, With gladness age-abiding on their head, —Joy, and gladness, shall overtake [them]. Sorrow and sighing have fled away.
12 Nangmih aka hloep te khaw kai kamah ni. Nang hlanghing, duek aka rhih te unim? Hlang capa he sulrham bangla aka lam ni a tloeng uh.
I—I, am he that comforteth you, —Who art, thou, that thou hast feared Frail man that dieth, and A son of the earthborn, who, as grass, shall be delivered up?
13 Nang aka saii, vaan aka dih tih diklai aka suen BOEIPA te na hnilh. Kosi kah a kilh dongah hnin takuem na rhih nainoe mai. Tedae phae hamla aka tawn uh tih kosi kah a kilh te ta melae?
That thou hast forgotten Yahweh thy maker, Who stretched out the heavens And founded the earth? That thou hast dreaded continually, all the day, by reason of the fury of the oppressor, in that he was ready to destroy? Where then is the fury of the oppressor?
14 A khuum hlang te koeloe a hlah vetih vaam khuiah khaw duek mahpawh, a buh khaw vaitah mahpawh.
The captive hath hastened to be loosed, —That he might not die in the pit. Neither should, his bread, be cut off.
15 Kai Yahovah na Pathen loh tuitunli khaw a kueng tih a tuiphu loh hue a sak. A ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni.
But, I—Yahweh, am thy God, Who threw into commotion the sea And the waves thereof roared, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
16 Na ka dongah ka ol kang khueh tih ka kut kah hlipkhup neh nang kan dah. Vaan aka ling tih diklai aka suen loh Zion te, “Nang tah ka pilnam ni,” a ti ham ni.
Therefore have I put my words in thy mouth, And with the shadow of my hand, have I covered thee, —To plant the heavens, and To lay the foundations of the earth, and To say unto Zion My people, thou art!
17 Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh Jerusalem aw thoo laeh. BOEIPA kut lamkah kosi boengloeng na ok coeng. Ngaengainah boengloeng dongkah a tuisam te na ci tih na ok.
Rouse thee—rouse, thee stand up, O Jerusalem, Who hast drunk, at the hand of Yahweh, his cup of indignation: The goblet-cup of confusion, hast thou drunk—hast thou drained.
18 A ca sak boeih loh amah te khool pawt tih a ca cah boeih loh a kut ah moem voel pawh.
There is none to guide her, Among all the sons she hath borne, —There is none to grasp her hand, Among all the sons she hath brought up.
19 Te rhoi loh nang n'doe coeng. Nang hamla unim aka rhaehba lah ve? rhoelrhanah neh pocinah, khokha neh cunghang lakli ah u nang nim kan hloep bal eh?
Twain, are the things befalling thee, Who will lament for thee? Wasting and destruction and famine and sword By whom shall I comfort thee?
20 Na ca rhoek loh saa uh tih thaang dongkah cuung bangla imlang tom ah lu a doelh uh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah kosi neh na Pathen kah tluungnah ngawn tah rhoeh coeng.
Thy sons, have fainted, They lie at the head of all the streets like a gazelle in a net, —Who, indeed, are full of The indignation of Yahweh The rebuke of thy God.
21 Te dongah mangdaeng neh misurtui nen pawt khaw aka rhuihmil tarha loh ya laeh he.
Therefore, hear, I pray thee, this, thou humbled one, —And drunken but not with wine: —
22 Tangkhuet la a pilnam aka rhuun na Boeipa Yahovah neh na Pathen loh, “Na kut lamkah rhuihmil boengloeng te ka loh coeng he ne, kai kah kosi boengloeng dongkah tuisam te ok hamla koep koei voel boeh.
Thus, saith Thy Lord, Yahweh, Even thy God who pleadeth the cause of his people: —Lo! I have taken, out of thy hand, the cup of confusion, —As for the goblet-cup of mine indignation, Thou shalt not again drink it, any more;
23 'Na hinglu te duen lamtah kang kan uh mai eh,’ a ti uh tih nang aka pae sak rhoek, nang nam te diklai bangla na duen pah tih long bangla aka pongpa thil rhoek kah kut dongah ni ka paek pawn eh,” a ti.
But I will put it into the hand of thy tormentors, Who said to thy soul, Bow down that we may pass over, —And so thou didst place as the ground, thy back, Yea as the street to such as were passing along.
