< Isaiah 62 >
1 Zion ham ka ngam pawt vetih, Jerusalem ham khaw a duengnah loh, kho aa bangla ha thoeng. Te dongah anih kah khangnah loh, hmaithoi bangla a dom duela ka mong mahpawh.
For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.
2 Na duengnah te namtom hlang loh a hmuh uh vetih, manghai boeih loh nang kah thangpomnah a hmuh uh vaengah, BOEIPA ka kah a phoei ming thai neh nang te n'khue ni.
And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
3 Boeimang rhuisam tah BOEIPA kut dongah, mangpa sammuei khaw na Pathen kah kut dongah ni a om eh.
Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 Nang te tueihno la n'khue voel pawt vetih, na khohmuen te khopong ti voel mahpawh. Nang te pumting nu la, na khohmuen rhukom la ng'khue ni. BOEIPA tah, nang dongah naep vetih, na khohmuen khaw rhukom la om ni.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 Tongpang loh oila a yuunah bangla, na ca rhoek loh nang n'yuunah ni. Te vaengah vasa nu soah yulo pa kah a omthennah bangla na Pathen khaw nang soah ngaingaih ni.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 Jerusalem nang kah vongtung soah ka hip coeng. Khothaih khing, khoyin khing, aka tawt rhoek khaw ngam uh taitu mahpawh. BOEIPA aka thoelh nangmih ham khaw, dingsueknah om pawh.
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah’s remembrancers, take ye no rest,
7 Jerusalem te a cikngae sak tih, diklai kah koehnah la a khueh duela, anih ham dingsueknah pae boeh.
and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 BOEIPA loh a bantang kut neh, a sarhi ban neh a toemngam coeng. Na cangpai te na thunkha kah a caak la, koep ka pae vetih na kohnue thil misur thai te kholong ca rhoek loh o lah ve.
Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast labored:
9 Aka coi rhoek loh a caak uh vetih, BOEIPA te a thangthen uh ni. Aka coi rhoek long khaw, kamah kah hmuencim vongup ah a ok uh ni.
but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
10 Vongka rhoek paan rhoe paan uh laeh. Pilnam kah longpuei te rhoekbah uh. Picai uh, picai uh, longpuei kah lungto te dae uh laeh. Pilnam ham rholik thoh uh laeh.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.
11 BOEIPA loh diklai khobawt duela a yaak coeng ke. Zion nu te thui pah. Nang kah daemnah ha pawk coeng ke. A thapang khaw amah neh a thaphu neh a mikhmuh ah om coeng ke.
Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
12 Amih te BOEIPA kah a tlan pilnam cim la a khue uh ni. Nang te khaw a toem tih a hnoo voel pawh khopuei a ti ni.
And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
