Isaiah 66
1 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vaan khaw kai kah ngolkhoel ni. Diklai khaw ka kho kah khotloeng ni. Kai ham im na sak uh te melae? Ka duemnah hmuen te menim?
Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will you build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?
2 Te rhoek boeih te ka kut loh a saii. Te rhoek boeih te BOEIPA kah olphong ah om coeng. Mangdaeng neh mueihla aka paep, kai ol dongah aka thuen, te ni ka paelki.
For all these things are mine, says the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?
3 Vaito aka ngawn loh hlang ni a ngawn. Tu aka ngawn loh ui ni a ah. Ok thii te khocang la aka khuen, hmueihtui aka thoelh tih boethae aka uem, amih long khaw amamih kah longpuei te a coelh uh. Amamih kah sarhingkoi dongah a hinglu khaw naep lah.
But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
4 Kai long khaw amih kah camoe hnatuem te ka coelh vetih amamih kah rhihnahkoi te amamih soah ka thoeng sak ni. Ka khue vaengah aka doo om pawh. Ka thui dae hnatun uh pawh. Ka mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih ka ngaih mueh te a tuek uh.
I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not listen to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
5 A ol dongah aka thuen rhoek te BOEIPA ol hnatun uh. Nangmih aka hmuhuet tih nang aka rhoe na manuca rhoek loh, “Kai ming neh BOEIPA thangpom saeh lamtah nangmih kah kohoenah te ka hmu eh?,” a ti uh dae amih te yak uh ni.
Hear the words of the Lord, you that tremble at his word; speak you, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
6 Khopuei lamkah longlonah ol neh bawkim lamkah ol, a thunkha te a tiing la aka thung BOEIPA ol.
A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.
7 A vawn hlan ah aka cun, a soah tharhui a tloh hlan ah ca tongpa aka oi.
Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.
8 Te bang aka ya te unim? Te bang aka hmu te unim? Khohnin pakhat dongah diklai he vawn tih namtom he voei khat la a cun a? A vawn phoeiah ni Zion loh a ca te a cun.
Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
9 Kai ka khaem tih a ka cun pawt eh? BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Kai loh ka cun sak tih ka khaih. Te te na Pathen long ni a thui.
But I have raised this expectation, yet you have not remembered me, says the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? says your God.
10 Jerusalem taengah kohoe sak lamtah amah aka lungnah boeih loh anih ham omngaih uh. Anih ham aka nguekcoi boeih loh a taengah omthennah neh ngaingaih uh.
Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:
11 Te daengah ni nangmih te ng'khut vetih a hloephloeinah rhangsuk te na cung uh eh. Na oktoem uh vetih a thangpomnah neh a baepet la na pang na dok uh bitni.
that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that you may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
12 Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih te kai kah rhoepnah tuiva bangla ka dangka sak tih namtom kah a thangpomnah soklong bangla ka long sak. A haep ah n'khut uh tih m'poeh uh phoeiah khuklu soah n'hnang sak ni.
For thus says the Lord, Behold, I turn towards them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
13 Hlang bangla anih aka hloep a manu te unim? Kamah loh nang kan hloep tangloeng vetih Jerusalem soah dam na ti bitni.
As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Na hmuh vaengah na lungbuei ngaingaih vetih na rhuh khaw baelhing bangla poe ni. A sal rhoek te BOEIPA kut loh a ming vetih a thunkha rhoek te kosi a sah thil ni.
And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
15 BOEIPA tah hmai neh a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ha pawk coeng ke. Amah kah kosi thintoek neh, amah kah tluungnah hmaihluei hmai neh thuung ham pawn ni.
For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
16 Pumsa boeih te BOEIPA loh hmai neh cunghang neh lai a tloek ni. BOEIPA taengah a rhok la muep pung ni.
For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
17 Aka ciim uh tih aka caihcil loh, a khui kah khat khat hnukah, dum kah ok saa konawhnah neh su aka ca rhoek te rhenten a thup uh ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
18 Kai loh amih kah khoboe neh amih kopoek te ka ming ta. Namtom boeih neh ol boeih te coi ham ha pawk. Amih ha pawk uh vaengah ka thangpomnah te a hmuh uh ni.
And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 Amih taengah miknoek ka khueh vetih amih lamkah hlangyong rhoek te namtom taeng neh Tarshish Pul taengah, lii aka oei Lud, Tubal neh kai olthang aka ya pawt tih kai thangpomnah aka hmu pawh khohla sanglak Javan taengla ka tueih ni. Te vaengah namtom rhoek taengah ka thangpomnah te a doek uh ni.
And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory amongst the Gentiles.
20 Na manuca rhoek boeih te namtom boeih taeng lamloh BOEIPA ham khocang la marhang dongah, leng neh, pa neh, muli-marhang dongah, thoh-lang dongah, ka tlang cim Jerusalem la ha pawk uh ni. BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA im cim kah hnopai dongah khocang la hang khuen uh ni.
And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
21 Amih lamkah te khosoih la, Levi la ka loh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng.
And I will take of them priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 Te bangla vaan thai neh diklai thai te ka saii tih ka mikhmuh ah aka pai sak khaw kai ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na tiingan neh na ming thoo ni.
For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
23 Hlasae lamloh hlasae, Sabbath lamloh Sabbath a pha vaengah pumsa boeih ka mikhmuh ah bakop hamla ha pawk ni. BOEIPA loh a thui.
And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.
24 Kai taengkah boekoek hlang rhoek kah rhok te a thoeng thil uh vetih a hmuh uh ni. Amih kah a rhiit te duek pawt vetih a hmai khaw thi mahpawh. Pumsa boeih taengah koletnah la om uh ni.
And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
