Isaiah 60
1 Thoo laeh, vang laeh. Nang kah vangnah ha pawk coeng tih BOEIPA thangpomnah tah nang soah sae coeng.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
2 Hmaisuep loh diklai, yinnah loh namtu a dah coeng ke. Tedae nang soah BOEIPA ha thoeng coeng tih a thangpomnah khaw nang soah tueng coeng.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 Na vangnah dongah namtom rhoek loh, namah kah pangtong khosae ah manghai rhoek loh pongpa uh ni.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Na mik te huel lamtah a kaepvai kah amih boeih ke so lah. Kho hla lamkah na ca rhoek te coi uh thae tih nang taengla ha pawk uh. Ha pawk uh vaengah na canu rhoek te a laengpang ah a poeh uh.
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
5 Te vaengah na hmuh vetih na hlampan bitni. Anih te birhih vetih na thinko hang ka sak ni. Tuitunli kah a hlangping te nang taengla ha buung vetih namtom kah khuehtawn te nang taengla ha pawk ni.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Kalauk cako loh nang ng'et ni. Midian neh Ephah kalaukca rhoek khaw a pum la Sheba lamkah sui hang khuen uh vetih hmueihtui ham phueih uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA koehnah a phong uh ni.
A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of the LORD.
7 Kedar boiva boeih khaw nang taengla tingtun uh vetih Nebaioth tutal rhoek loh nang n'khut ni. Ka hmueihtuk kah kolonah la luei uh vetih ka boeimang im te ka cam ni.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
8 Khomai bangla ding uh tih vahui bangla amamih kah bangbuet la aka cet te u rhoek nim?
“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Sanglak rhoek loh kai he ni n'lamtawn uh ngawn. Tarshish sangpho loh khohla lamkah na ca rhoek te amamih kah ngun neh sui neh lamhma la ham pawk puei ni. BOEIPA na Pathen ming ham neh Israel kah a cim ham te nang n'cam coeng.
Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 Na vongtung tah kholong ca rhoek loh hang khoeng uh vetih a manghai rhoek loh nang n'khut ni. Ka thinhul ah nang kan taam cakhaw ka kolonah dongah nang kan haidam ni.
“Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Namtom kah khuehtawn te nang taengla aka pawk puei ham na vongka loh ong uh taitu vetih khoyin khothaih khai uh mahpawh. Te vaengah a manghai rhoek te hmaithawn uh ni.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Nang taengah tho aka thueng pawh namtom neh ram tah milh uh vetih namtom rhoek khaw rhae la rhae uh ni.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 Ka rhokso hmuen cam hamla Lebanon kah thangpomnah hmaical, kungkang neh ta-aw thing khaw nang taengla tun ha pawk vetih ka kho kung kah a hmuen ah ka thangpom ni.
“The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 Nang aka phaep rhoek kah a ca rhoek te nang taengah aka ngawm sut la ha pawk uh ni. Nang yah aka bai rhoek boeih na kho kah khopha taengah bakop uh ni. BOEIPA kah khopuei Zion nang te Israel kah a cim la a khue uh ni.
The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 A hnoo sut neh a hmuhuet la na om tih aka pongpa om pawh. Tedae nang te kumhal kah hoemdamnah neh cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma ham omthennah la kang khueh ni.
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Namtom kah suktui te na yawn vetih manghai rhoek kah rhangsuk te khaw na yawn ni. Te vaengah kai BOEIPA tah nang aka khang neh nang aka tlan Jakob kah samrhang la na ming ni.
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Rhohum yueng la sui kang khuen vetih thi yueng la ngun, thing yueng la rhohum, lungto yueng la thi kang khuen ni. Nang aka cawhkung te rhoepnah neh, nang aka tueihno te duengnah neh ka khueh ni.
For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Na khohmuen ah kuthlahnah, na khorhi khuiah rhoelrhanah neh pocinah te ya voel mahpawh. Tedae na vongtung te khangnah la, na vongka te koehnah la na khue ni.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Nang ham tah khothaih khosae la khomik khaw kuek voel pawt vetih hla kah a aa loh nang soah ha sae mahpawh. Tedae BOEIPA tah nang ham kumhal khosae neh na Pathen te na boeimang la om ni.
The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Na khomik te khum voel pawt vetih na hla khaw yaem voel mahpawh. BOEIPA tah nang ham kumhal khosae la om vetih na nguekcoinah khohnin khaw khum ni.
Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
21 Amih na pilnam aka dueng boeih loh khohmuen kumhal duela a pang uh ni. A thingling pae he ka thingling neh ka kut kah bibi neh a cam ham om.
Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 A dikhnawn te thawngkhat la, canoi khaw namtu pilnu la om ni. Kai BOEIPA tah amah tue vaengah amah la ka tawn uh ni.
The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
