Isaiah 50
1 BOEIPA loh, “Na manu ka tueih vaengkah yuuhlak cabu te ta melae. Nangmih taengah kan yoih vaengkah kai kah lai aka ba te unim. Namamih kathaesainah loh n'yoih tih na boekoek long ni na nu khaw a tueih ne.
Thus saith the LORD: Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
2 Balae tih ka pawk vaengah hlang ana om pawh? Ka khue vaengah aka doo om pawh? Tlannah ham te ka kut ngun khaw ngun a? Nang huul ham te ka khuiah thadueng a om moenih a? Kai kah tluungnah dongah tuipuei khaw ka khah. Tuiva khaw khosoek la ka khueh tih a nga khaw rhim. Tui om pawt tih tuihalh loh a duek sak.
Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is My hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish become foul, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 Vaan ke a muem ka khuk tih tlamhni te a himbai la ka khueh pah.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 Lamlum he olka nen khaw tungduel ham neh ming sak ham ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai taengah lolmang cil m'paek. Mincang bal, mincang bal amah haenghang coeng. Kamah khaw ka hna ah lolmang la yaak sak ham n'haeng.
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary; He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.
5 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh ka hna han cah dongah ka koek pawh, a hnuk la ka balkhong pawh.
The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
6 Kai aka taam rhoek taengah ka nam, ka maelhmai aka thool sak ham ka kam kaduen pah. Mingthae neh timthoeih khaw ka thuh tak pawh.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my checks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai m'bom dongah ka hmaithae mahpawh. Te dongah ka maelhmai he hmailung bangla ka khueh tih yah ka poh mahpawh tila ka ming.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore have I not been confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 Kai aka tang sak khaw yoei ngawn. Unim kai taengah aka oelh eh? Tun pai uh sih. Ka kah laitloek boei te unim? Kai taengla ha mop saeh.
He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together; who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh kai m'bom ta he. U amah long nim kai m'boe sak eh? Amih ke himbai bangla boeih hmawn vetih bungbo long ni a caak eh.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? Behold, they all shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
10 Nangmih khuiah BOEIPA aka rhih tih a sal kah ol aka hnatun te unim? Tamyin ah aka pongpa te tah anih ham a aa om pawh. Yahweh ming dongah pangtung saeh lamtah a Pathen dongah hangdang saeh.
Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of His servant? though he walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Nangmih boeih loh hmai aka hlae tih hmaipom aka vah rhoek loh namamih kah hmaipuei hmai khuiah pongpa uh. Ka kut lamkah hmaipom na tok te namah taengla ha pak vetih kosilungnan la na yalh bitni,” a ti.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves with firebrands, begone in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of My hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
