Isaiah 55
1 Anunae tui aka hal boeih loh tui taengla cet lah. A taengah tangka aka om pawt long khaw paan lah. Lai lamtah ca van. Cet lamtah misur neh suktui te tangka nen pawt akhaw a phu nen pawt akhaw lai lah.
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
2 Buh pawt mai ah tangka na thuek thil te ba ham nim? Na thaphu khaw na daeng a cungnah hae moenih. Kamah taengkah he hnatun, hnatun lamtah a then te ca uh. Na hinglu kah maehhloi nen khaw a pang a dok bitni.
Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
3 Na hna duen lamtah kai taengah pongpa lah. Ya van lamtah na hinglu te hing van saeh. David kah sitlohnah aka tangnah nangmih rhoek taengah kumhal paipi ka saii ni.
Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
4 Anih te namtu kah laipai rhaengsang neh namtu rhoek aka uen la ka khueh coeng he.
Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
5 Namtom na ming pawt loh ng'khue vetih namtom na ming pawt khaw nang taengla ha yong uh pawn ni ke. BOEIPA na Pathen neh Israel kah a cim loh nang n'cam coeng.
Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
6 Amah hmuh ham koi vaengah BOEIPA toem uh. A yoei la a om vaengah amah te khue uh.
Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
7 Halang loh amah khosing, boethae hlang loh a kopoek te hnoo saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael saeh. Mamih kah Pathen taengah tah khodawkngai ham a puh sak vetih, anih te a haidam bitni.
Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
8 Ka kopoek he nangmih kopoek moenih, na khosing te ka khosing moenih. BOEIPA olphong ni.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
9 Vaan ke diklai lakah sang tih ka khosing khaw na khosing lakah sang tangloeng. Ka kopoek khaw nangmih kopoek lakah dung.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Vaan lamkah khonal neh vuelsong a suntlak phoeiah pahoi a mael moenih. Diklai te a sulpuem sak tih a cun phoeiah sul a duei sak. Te dongah lo aka tawn ham cangti neh caak ham buh a paek.
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
11 Ka ol aka om tangtae ka ka lamkah aka thoeng he kai taengah kuttling la ha mael mahpawh. Ka ngaih te a saii vetih ka tueih a thaihtak sak ni.
so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
12 Kohoenah neh na hlah uh vetih ngaimongnah neh n'khuen bitni. Tlang neh som te na mikhmuh ah tamlung neh rhong uh ni. Khohmuen kah thing boeih khaw kut a paeng uh ni.
You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Tangtii yueng la hmaical khawk ding vetih sakoeih hling yueng la cuihal thing khawk ding ni. BOEIPA ham kumhal miknoek la a ming om vetih phae voel mahpawh.
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
