< Isaiah 26 >
1 Tekah khohnin ah tah Judah kho ah hekah laa he a sak ni. “Mamih ham sarhi la aka tak khopuei, khangnah vongtung neh rhalmahvong khaw a khueh.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
2 Vongka rhoek ong uh lamtah oltak aka ngaithuen namtu loh a dueng la kun van saeh.
Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
3 Benbonah aka talong tih namah dongah aka pangtung kah rhoepnah ngaimongnah tah na kueinah ni.
By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
4 BOEIPA dongah a yoeyah la pangtung lah. BOEIPA Yahweh tah kumhal lungpang la om.
Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
5 Hmuensang khorha kah khosa khaw a ngam sak. Aka pomdoep uh te khaw diklai ah a kunyun, a kunyun sak tih, laipi khuila a bol.
For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
6 Te vaengah mangdaeng kah a kho, a kho ah tattloel kah khokan loh a taelh.
The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
7 Aka dueng kah caehlong tah vanat tih aka thuem kah namtlak te a dueng la na saelh pah.
The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
8 BOEIPA namah kah caehlong tah tiktam pai, na ming ham nang kan lamtawn uh tih, ka hinglu ngaihlihnah tah namah poekkoepnah ham om saeh.
Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 Ka hinglu neh khoyin ah nang kan ngaidam. Ka khui kah ka mueihla long khaw nang kan toem. Diklai hman kah na laitloeknah vanbangla lunglai dongkah khosa rhoek loh duengnah a cang uh.
With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
10 Halang te rhen mai cakhaw khohmuen kah duengnah khaw a cang moenih. Oldueng a phayoe sak tih BOEIPA kah rhimomnah te hmu pawh.
Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
11 BOEIPA nang kah kut thueng te hmu uh pawh. Pilnam kah thatlainah loh hmu saeh lamtah yahpok kolo saeh. Na rhal rhoek kah hmai long khaw amih te hlawp nawn saeh.
O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
12 BOEIPA aw, kaimih ham rhoepnah nan tloeng tih kamamih kah bitat boeih khaw kaimih yueng la na saii.
Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
13 Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA nang voelkah boei rhoek loh kaimih n'rhukom thil. Na ming neh namah bueng ni kam poek uh.
O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and thy Name.
14 Aka duek rhoek te hing uh pawt tih sairhai he khaw thoo uh noek pawh. Te dongah amih te na hip tih na milh sak. Te vaengah amih poekkoepnah khaw boeih na paltham sak.
The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
15 Namtom te na thap coeng. BOEIPA namah loh na thap namtom loh namah n'thangpom coeng tih diklai khobawt khaw boeih na lakhla sak.
Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes of the earth.
16 Rhal lakli ah khaw BOEIPA namah te ng'hip uh tih amih te na thuituennah neh na calthai loh a kilh.
Lord, in trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
17 Aka vawn loh camoe om ham a tawn uh bangla, aka vawn loh a tharui khui kah a tloh neh a pang bangla, BOEIPA nang kah mikhmuh ah ka om uh tangkhuet.
Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
18 Ka vawn uh tih pumrih uh dae khohli ni ka cun uh. Diklai ah khangnah khaw n'saii uh pawt tih lunglai kah khosa khaw cungku uh hae pawh.
We haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
19 Namah ah aka duek rhoek tah hing uh ni. Ka rhok he khaw thoo ni. Laipi dongkah khosa rhoek khaw haenghang vetih tamhoe ni. Namah kah buemtui khosae buemtui bangla diklai long he sairhai rhoek te a cungku sak ni.
Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Ka pilnam aw cet lamtah namah imkhui la kun laeh. Na thohkhaih te khai laeh. Kosi a poeng la a poeng hil tah mikhaptok ca khaw na hnuk longah bet thuh dae.
Come, my people: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
21 Diklai khosa rhoek kathaesainah te cawh hamla amah hmuen lamloh BOEIPA ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah a sokah thii te diklai loh a phoe vetih a pum dongkah a ngawn uh te khaw phah voel mahpawh.
For lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
