Isaiah 58
1 Olrhong neh pang lamtah tuem boeh. Tuki bangla na ol te huel. Ka pilnam taengah a boekoek, Jakob imkhui taengah a tholh te puen pah.
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 A hnin, hnin ah kai n'toem uh tih duengnah aka saii namtom bangla ka longpuei mingnah dongah hmae uh. A Pathen kah laitloeknah te hnoo uh pawt tih laitloeknah te kai n'dawt uh. Duengnah dongah Pathen vang a kai uh.
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Ba ham nim ka yaeh uh. Ka hinglu ka phaep uh khaw na hmu pawt tih na ming pawh. Na yaehnah hnin ah na ngaih te na dan tih na tueihyoeih rhoek te boeih na tueihno.
Why have we fasted, say they, and you see not? why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4 Tuituknah, olpungnah neh na yaeh uh tih halangnah kuthluem neh hlang aka ngawn rhung mai la. Tihnin kah bangla na ol te hmuensang ah yaak sak ham na yaeh uh moenih.
Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: you shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Kai kah ka tuek yaehnah tah he tla om a? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu a phaep ham khohnin dae ni. A lu te canghlong bangla duengyai tih tlamhni neh hmaiphu a phaih te nim? Te mai te nim yaehnah neh BOEIPA taengkah kolonah khohnin na ti van?
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 He bang yaehnah he ni ka coelh moenih a? Halangnah dongkah thuengthuelnah te dul pah ham, hnokohcung rhoi te hlam ham, a neet rhoek te sayalh la tueih ham ni. Te dongah hnokohcung boeih te khaem laeh.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Na buh te bungpong taengah tael pah ham moenih a? Mangdaeng airhoeng te im la na khuen mako, pumtling te na hmuh vaengah anih te na khuk mako. Namah saa te thuh tak boeh saw.
Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh?
8 Te vaengah na vangnah te khothaih bangla thoeng vetih na hoeihnah khaw pahoi poe ni. Na duengnah te na mikhmuh ah pongpa vetih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah loh nang n'cului ni.
Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Na khue tih na pang vaengah BOEIPA loh n'doo vetih, “Kai la he,” a ti ni. Kutdawn loh a khi hnokohcung neh boethae la aka cal te khaw na khui lamloh na khoe mako.
Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the middle of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 Na hinglu he bungpong ham na dang van coeng dongah a phaep hlang kah a hinglu khaw cung sak van. Te daengah ni na vangnah loh hmaisuep ah thoeng vetih na taengkah khohmuep te khothun la a poeh eh.
And if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
11 BOEIPA loh nang m'mawt yoeyah vetih tuikoek haikoeng khuikah na hinglu te n'cung sak ni. Na rhuh a caang sak vetih khosul dum bangla na om ni. Tuiphuet tui bangla anih kah tui tah caap pah pawh.
And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 Te vaengah na taengkah khosuen imrhong te a yung lamkah loh hang khoeng uh vetih cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela pai ni. Namah te khaw a puut aka biing, khosa ham a hawn aka tlaih la n'khue uh ni.
And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 Kai kah khohnin cim ah na kongaih saii hamla namah kho neh Sabbath te na mael tak atah, Sabbath tah BOEIPA kah a thangpom neh aka cim pangdoknah la na thui atah, na longpuei na saii nen khaw, na sanaep na hmuh nen khaw, olka na thui nen khaw, na thangpom atah,
If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 BOEIPA dongah na pang na dok vetih diklai kah hmuensang, hmuensang ah nang te n'ngol sak ni. Na pa Jakob kah rho te nang kan cah ni. BOEIPA kah ka loh a thui ngawn coeng.
Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
