< Isaiah 54 >

1 Caya nu loh tamhoe laeh, aka cun noek pawt long khaw tamlung neh rhong saeh, aka vawn pawt khaw hlampan saeh. BOEIPA loh, “Rhukom kah a ca rhoek lakah aka pong kah a ca ping ngai coeng,” a ti.
“Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”
2 Na dap hmuen te aek lamtah na dungtlungim kah himbaiyan khaw yueng dae. Na liva hlawt ham khaw tuemsoem boel lamtah na hlingcong te caang sak.
“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.
3 Banvoei bantang la na pungtai vetih na tiingan loh namtom te a pang ni. Te vaengah khopuei aka pong ah khaw kho a sak uh ni.
For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.
4 Rhih boeh, yah na pok mahpawh. Hmaithae na lo pawt vetih na hmai tal mahpawh. Na cacawn vaengkah yahpohnah na hnilh bitni. Na nuhmai vaengkah kokhahnah khaw na poek voel mahpawh.
Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 Nang aka yuu nah tih nang aka saii kah a ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni. Nang aka tlan, Israel kah a cim tah diklai pum kah Pathen la a khue.
For your husband is your Maker— the LORD of Hosts is His name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.
6 A hnoo uh dongah mueihla ngaihlih nu bangla nang te BOEIPA loh ng'khue ni. Te dongah na camoe kah na Pathen loh, “Na yuu te khaw a hnawt,” a ti.
For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.
7 Mikhaptok ca nang kan hnoo dae haidamnah neh a tanglue la nang kan coi bitni.
“For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
8 “Thinhul tuiphul vaengah tah ka maelhmai he nang taeng lamloh mikhaptok ah ka thuh coeng dae kumhal kah sitlohnah neh nang kan haidam,” tila nang aka tlan Yahovah loh a thui.
In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 Kai ham tah tahae kah he Noah kah tui van pawn ni. Noah tui loh a khuk vaengah diklai ham ka toemngam te nang taengkah ka thintoek ah ni ka toemngam tih nang kan tluung.
“For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
10 “Tlang rhoek te nong uh tih som rhoek ke tuen uh cakhaw kai kah sitlohnah he nang taeng lamloh nong mahpawh. Kai kah rhoepnah paipi tah tuen mahpawh,” tila nang aka haidam BOEIPA loh a thui.
Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
11 Mangdaeng loh a thikthuek khaw damti pawh. Kai loh namah kah canglung lungto neh kan kol sak dongah minhum dongah nang kan hol bitni.
“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Na puthue te aithilung, na vongka te hmaihli lungto neh, na khorhi boeih te danngaih lungto neh kan saii ni.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Na ca rhoek te BOEIPA loh boeih a lolmang thil vetih na ca rhoek kah rhoepnah khaw ping ni.
Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.
14 Duengnah dongah n'cikngae sak vetih, hnaemtaeknah lamloh na lakhla pawn ni. Na rhih voel pawt vetih porhaknah khaw nang taengla ha pawk voel mahpawh.
In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
15 A mae la aka mae te khaw kai lamkah moenih he. Nang aka mae te khaw namah taengah cungku bitni.
If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
16 Hmaisa-aek hmai aka hmut kutthai khaw kamah long ni ka suen ne. A bisai te hnopai la a poeh sak akhaw laikoi sak ham kutcaihnah khaw kai loh ka suen pah coeng.
Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
17 Hnopai tom te nang taengah hlinsai cakhaw thaihtak mahpawh. Laitloeknah dongah ol cungkuem loh nang n'tlai thil cakhaw na boe mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong dongah tah tahae kah he BOEIPA sal rhoek kah rho neh kamah taeng lamkah duengnah la om.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
