Isaiah 57
1 Aka dueng te milh dae lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang a om moenih. A sitlohnah hlang rhoek a coi te yakming pawt cakhaw aka dueng tah yoethae hmai lamloh a coi.
The righteous has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
2 Anih te ngaimong la a kun vaengah a thingkong dongah duem uh tih a langya la pongpa van.
He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
3 Tedae nangmih kutyaek aka so ca rhoek, samphaih neh cukhalh kah tiingan khaw pahoi ha moe.
“And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
4 U taengah nim na pang na dok? U taengah nim ka na ang tih lai na hlo thil, boekoek camoe neh laithae kah cangti te nang moenih a?
Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
5 Thingnu taeng neh thing hing hmui takuem kah aka haw, thaelvap thaelpang hmui kah soklong ah camoe aka ngawn rhoek aw.
Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
6 Na hamsum tah soklong longhnal dongah om lah ko. Amah te ni nang kah hmulung rhoe pai. Te rhoek taengah tuisi na bueih tih khocang na nawn lalah ko ka hlawt het aya te?
Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in these things?
7 Tlang sang ah na thingkong te na phaih cakdawk van tih hmueih ngawn hamla na cet bal pueng.
On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a sacrifice.
8 Thohkhaih hael neh rhungsut dongah namah poekkoepnah na khueh. Kai taeng lamkah phoeiah tah a tling la na van tih na thingkong te amih taengah a ah -oem la na khueh pah. A thingkong te na lungnah tih a kut te na hmuh pah.
And behind the door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
9 Manghai te situi neh na yiin. Na bova te na koei tih khohla la na laipai na tueih phoeiah saelkhui la na kunyun. (Sheol h7585)
And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Na longpuei te puh tih na kohnue dae, 'vi uh coeng, 'ti boeh. Na kut dongkah hingnah na hmuh coeng dongah na kothae sak boeh.
You have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
11 Unim na mawn thil tih na rhih. Na laithae dongah kai he nan poek pawt tih na lungbuei ah na khueh moenih. Kai nan rhih pawt khaw khosuen lamloh ka ngam dongah moenih a?
And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
12 Na duengnah neh na khoboe te kamah loh kan yan vetih nang n'hoeikhang sak uh mahpawh.
I declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do not profit you.
13 Na pang vaengah nang te n'huul uh saeh. Na coicip te khaw a pum la khohli loh a voeih a honghi a loh ni. Tedae kai dongah aka ying tah khohmuen a pang vetih ka tlang cim khaw a pang ni.
When you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses My holy mountain.”
14 Te vaengah, “Picai uh, picai uh, longpuei te saelh uh. Ka pilnam longpuei kah hmuitoel te khoel uh.
And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.”
15 Aka pomsang uh tih aka cawkdawk, a yoeyah la kho aka sa tih hmuensang kah a ming cim neh aka cim loh, “Mueihla tlarhoel rhoek hing sak ham neh lungbuei aka paep rhoek hing sak hamla yutnah neh mueihla tlarhoel taengah khaw kho ka sak.
For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
16 Kumhal duela kang ho aih pawt vetih a yoeyah la ka thintoek aih mahpawh. Ka mikhmuh kah mueihla neh kamah loh ka saii hingnah hiil he khaw khobing lah ve.
For I do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls I have made.
17 Thaesainah neh a mueluemnah te ka thintoek tih anih ka ngawn. Ka thuh uh tih ka thintoek. A lungbuei kah a khosing neh hnukcol la cet.
For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back in the way of his heart.
18 A khosing ka hmu cakhaw anih te a hoeih sak vetih amah te ka mawt ni. Rhahdoe cangpoem ah khaw anih te hloephoelhnah neh ka thuung ni.
I have seen his ways, and I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
19 A lai thaih kah a thaih khaw, rhoepnah he khohla neh khoyoei kah rhoepnah la ka suen,” a ti. BOEIPA loh, “Anih ka hoeih sak ni,” a ti.
Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
20 Halang tah tuili bangla niknuk tih mong thai pawh. Te vaengah tui loh tuinu neh tangnong te pong a loe.
And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
21 Halang rhoek ham rhoepnah a om pawt te ka Pathen loh a thui.
“There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
