< Isaiah 62 >
1 Zion ham ka ngam pawt vetih, Jerusalem ham khaw a duengnah loh, kho aa bangla ha thoeng. Te dongah anih kah khangnah loh, hmaithoi bangla a dom duela ka mong mahpawh.
Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.
2 Na duengnah te namtom hlang loh a hmuh uh vetih, manghai boeih loh nang kah thangpomnah a hmuh uh vaengah, BOEIPA ka kah a phoei ming thai neh nang te n'khue ni.
And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.
3 Boeimang rhuisam tah BOEIPA kut dongah, mangpa sammuei khaw na Pathen kah kut dongah ni a. om eh.
And you will be a fair crown in the hand of the Lord, and a king's head-dress in the hand of your God.
4 Nang te tueihno la n'khue voel pawt vetih, na khohmuen te khopong ti voel mahpawh. Nang te pumting nu la, na khohmuen rhukom la ng'khue ni. BOEIPA tah, nang dongah naep vetih, na khohmuen khaw rhukom la om ni.
You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.
5 Tongpang loh oila a yuunah bangla, na ca rhoek loh nang n'yuunah ni. Te vaengah vasa nu soah yulo pa kah a omthennah bangla na Pathen khaw nang soah ngaingaih ni.
For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.
6 Jerusalem nang kah vongtung soah ka hip coeng. Khothaih khing, khoyin khing, aka tawt rhoek khaw ngam uh taitu mahpawh. BOEIPA aka thoelh nangmih ham khaw, dingsueknah om pawh.
I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,
7 Jerusalem te a cikngae sak tih, diklai kah koehnah la a khueh duela, anih ham dingsueknah pae boeh.
And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.
8 BOEIPA loh a bantang kut neh, a sarhi ban neh a toemngam coeng. Na cangpai te na thunkha kah a caak la, koep ka pae vetih na kohnue thil misur thai te kholong ca rhoek loh o lah ve.
The Lord has taken an oath by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Truly, I will no longer give your grain to be food for your haters; and men of strange countries will not take the wine for which your work has been done:
9 Aka coi rhoek loh a caak uh vetih, BOEIPA te a thangthen uh ni. Aka coi rhoek long khaw, kamah kah hmuencim vongup ah a ok uh ni.
But those who have got in the grain will have it for their food, and will give praise to the Lord; and those who have got in the grapes will take the wine of them in the open places of my holy house.
10 Vongka rhoek paan rhoe paan uh laeh. Pilnam kah longpuei te rhoekbah uh. Picai uh, picai uh, longpuei kah lungto te dae uh laeh. Pilnam ham rholik thoh uh laeh.
Go through, go through the doors; make ready the way of the people; let the highway be lifted up; let the stones be taken away; let a flag be lifted up over the peoples.
11 BOEIPA loh diklai khobawt duela a yaak coeng ke. Zion nu te thui pah. Nang kah daemnah ha pawk coeng ke. A thapang khaw amah neh a thaphu neh a mikhmuh ah om coeng ke.
The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.
12 Amih te BOEIPA kah a tlan pilnam cim la a khue uh ni. Nang te khaw a toem tih a hnoo voel pawh khopuei a ti ni.
And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.
