Isaiah 56
1 He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Tiktamnah he ngaithuen lamtah duengnah te saii lah. Kai kah khangnah ha pawk ham neh ka duengnah a phoe hamla yoei coeng.
The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.
2 Yoethen hlanghing long tah hekah he a saii tih hlang capa long khaw te te a pom. Sabbath aka tuem loh te te poeih vetih a kut aka ngaithuen loh boethae pakhat khaw saii ve ne.
Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man whose behaviour is so ordered; who keeps the Sabbath holy, and his hand from doing any evil.
3 BOEIPA taengah aka naep kholong ca loh, “BOEIPA loh kai tah a pilnam taeng lamloh m'boe khaw m'boe mai ni,” a ti ham khaw thui boel saeh. Imkhoem long khaw, “Kai tah thing koh ni he,” ti boel saeh.
And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.
4 BOEIPA loh imkhoem taengah khaw he ni a thui. Kai kah Sabbath aka tuem rhoek neh kai ngaih la aka tuek rhoek long tah kai kah paipi te a pom uh.
For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:
5 Kai im khui neh ka vongtung khuikah ka kut te amih taengla ka paek ni. Ming then te capa rhoek lakah khaw canu rhoek kah lakah khaw kumhal ming la anih taengah ka paek vetih phae voel mahpawh.
I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.
6 BOEIPA taengah aka naep kholong ca rhoek tah amah aka bong la, BOEIPA ming aka lungnah ham neh amah taengah sal la, Sabbath aka poeih lamloh aka ngaithuen boeih neh ka paipi aka pom rhoek taengah tah,
And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:
7 kamah kah hmuencim tlang la ka khuen vetih amih te ka thangthuinah im ah ko ka hoe sak ni. Amih kah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te ka hmueihtuk dongkah kolonah la om ni. Ka im te pilnam tom kah thangthuinah im la a khue ni.
I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 A heh tangtae Israel aka coi ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong dongah tah anih ka coi phoeiah anih taengla ka coi pueng ni.
The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.
9 Khohmuen a mulhing boeih neh duup khuikah mulhing boeih caak hamla lo laeh oe.
All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.
10 Anih aka tawt la aka tawt rhoek khaw amamih boeih a mikdael uh coeng tih amamih khaw boeih ming uh thae pawh. Ui olmueh rhoek loh a naak ham coeng pawh. Ihnga uh, yalh uh, mikku te a lungnah uh.
His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.
11 Hinglu ui tlung rhoek te a cungnah a ming uh moenih. Amih aka dawn loh a pum la thuicaih ham ming uh pawh. A bawtnah ah hlang loh a longpuei te a mueluemnah la a hooi uh.
Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.
12 Lo laeh misur than sih lamtah yu khaw mii sih. Tahae khohnin kah bangla thangvuen ah a then la muep om khungdaeng bitni.
Come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure.
