Isaiah 58
1 Olrhong neh pang lamtah tuem boeh. Tuki bangla na ol te huel. Ka pilnam taengah a boekoek, Jakob imkhui taengah a tholh te puen pah.
“Cry aloud, don’t spare. Lift up your voice like a shofar ·ram horn·. Declare to my people their rebellious breach of relationship, and to the house of Jacob [Supplanter] their habitual sins ·missing the marks·.
2 A hnin, hnin ah kai n'toem uh tih duengnah aka saii namtom bangla ka longpuei mingnah dongah hmae uh. A Pathen kah laitloeknah te hnoo uhpawt tih laitloeknah te kai n'dawt uh. Duengnah dongah Pathen vang a kai uh.
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the judgments of their God, they ask of me upright judgments. They delight to draw near to God.
3 Ba ham nim ka yaeh uh. Ka hinglu ka phaep uh khaw na hmu pawt tih na ming pawh. Na yaehnah hnin ah na ngaih te na dan tih na tueihyoeih rhoek te boeih na tueihno.
‘Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.
4 Tuituknah, olpungnah neh na yaeh uh tih halangnah kuthluem neh hlang aka ngawn rhung mai la. Tihnin kah bangla na ol te hmuensang ah yaak sak ham na yaeh uh moenih.
Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of ethical wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· on high.
5 Kai kah ka tuek yaehnah tah he tla om a? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu a phaep ham khohnin dae ni. A lu te canghlong bangla duengyai tih tlamhni neh hmaiphu a phaih te nim? Te mai te nim yaehnah neh BOEIPA taengkah kolonah khohnin na ti van?
Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Adonai?
6 He bang yaehnah he ni ka coelh moenih a? Halangnah dongkah thuengthuelnah te dul pah ham, hnokohcung rhoi te hlam ham, a neet rhoek te sayalh la tueih ham ni. Te dongah hnokohcung boeih te khaem laeh.
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of ethical wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Na buh te bungpong taengah tael pah ham moenih a? Mangdaeng airhoeng te im la na khuen mako, pumtling te na hmuh vaengah anih te na khuk mako. Namah saa te thuh tak boeh saw.
Is not it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Te vaengah na vangnah te khothaih bangla thoeng vetih na hoeihnah khaw pahoi poe ni. Na duengnah te na mikhmuh ah pongpa vetih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah loh nang n'cului ni.
Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you; and the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· will be your rear guard.
9 Na khue tih na pang vaengah BOEIPA loh n'doo vetih, “Kai la he,” a ti ni. Kutdawn loh a khi hnokohcung neh boethae la aka cal te khaw na khui lamloh na khoe mako.
Then you will call, and Adonai will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking vain striving of iniquity;
10 Na hinglu he bungpong ham na dang van coeng dongah a phaep hlang kah a hinglu khaw cung sak van. Te daengah ni na vangnah loh hmaisuep ah thoeng vetih na taengkah khohmuep te khothun la a poeh eh.
and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
11 BOEIPA loh nang m'mawt yoeyah vetih tuikoek haikoeng khuikah na hinglu te n'cung sak ni. Na rhuh a caang sak vetih khosul dum bangla na om ni. Tuiphuet tui bangla anih kah tui tah caap pah pawh.
and Adonai will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don’t fail.
12 Te vaengah na taengkah khosuen imrhong te a yung lamkah loh hang khoeng uh vetih cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela pai ni. Namah te khaw a puut aka biing, khosa ham a hawn aka tlaih la n'khue uh ni.
Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
13 Kai kah khohnin cim ah na kongaih saii hamla namah kho neh Sabbath te na mael tak atah, Sabbath tah BOEIPA kah a thangpom neh aka cim pangdoknah la na thui atah, na longpuei na saii nen khaw, na sanaep na hmuh nen khaw, olka na thui nen khaw, na thangpom atah,
“If you turn away your foot from the Shabath ·Intermission·, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Shabath ·Intermission· a delight, and the holy of Adonai honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 BOEIPA dongah na pang na dok vetih diklai kah hmuensang, hmuensang ah nang te n'ngol sak ni. Na pa Jakob kah rho te nang kan cah ni. BOEIPA kah ka loh a thui ngawn coeng.
then you shall delight yourself in Adonai; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob [Supplanter] your father:” for Adonai’s mouth has spoken it.
