Isaiah 56
1 He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Tiktamnah he ngaithuen lamtah duengnah te saii lah. Kai kah khangnah ha pawk ham neh ka duengnah a phoe hamla yoei coeng.
Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed.
2 Yoethen hlanghing long tah hekah he a saii tih hlang capa long khaw te te a pom. Sabbath aka tuem loh te te poeih vetih a kut aka ngaithuen loh boethae pakhat khaw saii ve ne.
Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.
3 BOEIPA taengah aka naep kholong ca loh, “BOEIPA loh kai tah a pilnam taeng lamloh m'boe khaw m'boe mai ni,” a ti ham khaw thui boel saeh. Imkhoem long khaw, “Kai tah thing koh ni he,” ti boel saeh.
And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree.
4 BOEIPA loh imkhoem taengah khaw he ni a thui. Kai kah Sabbath aka tuem rhoek neh kai ngaih la aka tuek rhoek long tah kai kah paipi te a pom uh.
For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall hold fast my covenant:
5 Kai im khui neh ka vongtung khuikah ka kut te amih taengla ka paek ni. Ming then te capa rhoek lakah khaw canu rhoek kah lakah khaw kumhal ming la anih taengah ka paek vetih phae voel mahpawh.
I will give to them in my house, and within my walls, a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish.
6 BOEIPA taengah aka naep kholong ca rhoek tah amah aka bong la, BOEIPA ming aka lungnah ham neh amah taengah sal la, Sabbath aka poeih lamloh aka ngaithuen boeih neh ka paipi aka pom rhoek taengah tah,
And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant:
7 kamah kah hmuencim tlang la ka khuen vetih amih te ka thangthuinah im ah ko ka hoe sak ni. Amih kah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te ka hmueihtuk dongkah kolonah la om ni. Ka im te pilnam tom kah thangthuinah im la a khue ni.
I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.
8 A heh tangtae Israel aka coi ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong dongah tah anih ka coi phoeiah anih taengla ka coi pueng ni.
The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.
9 Khohmuen a mulhing boeih neh duup khuikah mulhing boeih caak hamla lo laeh oe.
All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.
10 Anih aka tawt la aka tawt rhoek khaw amamih boeih a mikdael uh coeng tih amamih khaw boeih ming uh thae pawh. Ui olmueh rhoek loh a naak ham coeng pawh. Ihnga uh, yalh uh, mikku te a lungnah uh.
His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 Hinglu ui tlung rhoek te a cungnah a ming uh moenih. Amih aka dawn loh a pum la thuicaih ham ming uh pawh. A bawtnah ah hlang loh a longpuei te a mueluemnah la a hooi uh.
And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.
12 Lo laeh misur than sih lamtah yu khaw mii sih. Tahae khohnin kah bangla thangvuen ah a then la muep om khungdaeng bitni.
Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.
