< Isaiah 61 >

1 Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah Mueihla tah kai soah om. Kodo taengah olthangthen phong pah ham BOEIPA loh kai n'koelh. Lungbuei aka paep rhoek te poi pah ham, a sol rhoek ham te sayalhnah hoe pah ham, a khih rhoek te hlamnah ham,
The spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, For Jehovah hath anointed me; He hath sent me to publish good tidings to the distressed, To bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 BOEIPA kah kolonah kum neh mamih Pathen kah phulohnah khohnin hoe pah ham, rhahdoe cangpoem boeih te hloep ham,
To proclaim the year of mercy from Jehovah, And the day of vengeance from our God; To comfort all that mourn;
3 Zion kah rhahdoe cangpoem te dueh pah ham, hmaiphu yueng la lukhuem, nguekcoinah yueng la omngaihnah situi, nukyum mueihla yueng la koehnah himbai te amih taengah paek ham ni kai n'tueih. Amih te cam hamla BOEIPA kah thingling tah duengnah thingnu la a khue uh ni.
To give gladness to the mourners in Zion; To give them a beautiful crown instead of ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, So that they shall be called blessed terebinth-trees, The plantation of Jehovah for his glory.
4 Khosuen imrhong te koep a sak uh vetih hnukbuet kah aka pong te a thoh uh ni. Kholing khopuei cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela aka pong te khaw koep a tlaih uh ni.
They shall build up the old ruins; They shall raise up the ancient desolations; They shall repair the cities laid waste, The desolations of many generations.
5 Hlanglak rhoek te pai uh vetih nangmih kah boiva te a luem puei uh ni. Kholong ca rhoek te nang kah lopho neh dumpho la om uh ni.
Strangers shall stand up and feed your flocks, And the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and vine-dressers;
6 Nangmih tah BOEIPA kah khosoih la n'khue uh vetih, nang te mamih Pathen ham aka thotat la a thui ni. Namtom kah thadueng te nang n'cah vetih amih kah thangpomnah neh nang n'thui ni.
But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah, Men shall call you the ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the riches of the nations, And in their glory shall ye make your boast.
7 Nangmih kah yahpohnah neh mingthae yueng te a rhaep la a kah hamsum neh tamhoe uh ni. A khohmuen te rhaepnit la a pang uh tangloeng vetih amih ham kumhal kohoenah om ni.
For your shame shall ye have a double reward; And for ignominy ye shall rejoice in your portion; Therefore in your land ye shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be your portion.
8 Kai Yahovah long tah tiktamnah he ka lungnah tih dumlai dongkah huencannah he ka hmuhuet. Te dongah amih kah thaphu te oltak la ka paek vetih amih taengah kumhal paipi te ka saii ni.
For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate rapine and iniquity, I will give them their reward with faithfulness, And an everlasting covenant will I make with them.
9 A tiingan te namtom lakli ah, a cadil te pilnam lakli ah a ming ni. Amih aka hmuh boeih loh amih te BOEIPA kah yoethen a paek tiingan tila a hmat uh ni.
Their race shall be illustrious among the nations, And their offspring among the people; All that see them shall acknowledge That they are a race which Jehovah hath blessed.
10 BOEIPA dongah ngaingaih la ka ngaingaih tih ka hinglu khaw ka Pathen dongah omngaih. Daemnah himbai neh duengnah hnikul te kai m'bai sak. Yulokung bangla kai n'thingcam tih lukhuem neh n'khosoih sak tih a hnopai aka oi uh langa bangla n'khueh.
“I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah; My soul shall exult in my God; For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; He hath covered me with the mantle of deliverance. As the bridegroom decketh himself with his turban, And as the bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”
11 Diklai bangla a dawn cawt tih dum bangla a ballung khaw poe. Ka Boeipa Yahovah tangloeng ni duengnah a poe sak vetih namtom boeih kah hmaiah koehnah khaw a om pai eh.
For as the earth putteth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its plants to spring forth, So shall the Lord Jehovah cause salvation to spring forth; And praise before all the nations.
