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 says YHWH, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness 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 who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand 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.
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying, "YHWH will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, 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 says YHWH, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and 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.
to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
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,
Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to minister to him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds 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.
even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
8 A heh tangtae Israel aka coi ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong dongah tah anih ka coi phoeiah anih taengla ka coi pueng ni.
YHWH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
9 Khohmuen a mulhing boeih neh duup khuikah mulhing boeih caak hamla lo laeh oe.
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in 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 blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
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.
Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
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," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
