Isaiah 43
1 Hatei, atuteh Oe Jakop nangmouh kasakkung hoi, Oe Isarel nangmouh kapâkhuengkung Jehovah ni telah ati, taket awh hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh na ratang awh toe, na min lahoi na kaw awh teh kaie lah doeh na o awh toe.
And now thus says the Lord God that made you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you [by] your name; you are mine.
2 Tui na raka awh nahaiyah nangmouh koe ka o vaiteh, tuipui na raka nahai na pâyawt awh mahoeh. Hmai dawk na cei awh nakunghai na kang awh mahoeh. Hmaipalai ni hai na kang awh mahoeh.
And if you pass through water, I am with you; and the rivers shall not overflow you: and if you go through fire, you shall not be burnt; the flame shall not burn you.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae Jehovah na Cathut, Isarel Tami Kathoung, nangmouh ka rungngangkung doeh. Nangmouh ratang hanelah, Izipnaw koe na poe teh, Ethiopia hoi Sheba nangmae yueng lah ka poe.
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, that saves you: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia your ransom, and [given] Soene for you.
4 Ka mithmu vah ka talue poung e lah na o awh teh, bari kawi e lah na o awh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh na ban thai awh nahanelah tami na poe vaiteh, na hringnae kâthung nahanelah tamihu na poe han.
Since you became precious in my sight, you have become glorious, and I have loved you: and I will give men for you, and princes for your life.
5 Taket awh hanh, nangmouh koe ka o, na catounnaw hah kanîtho koehoi ka thokhai vaiteh, kanîloumlah hoi ka pâkhueng han.
Fear not; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and will gather you from the west.
6 Atunglah pou thak awh ka ti vaiteh, akalah katek awh hanh lawih telah ka ti pouh han. Ka capa hah ahlapoungnae koehoi thokhai awh, ka canu hah talai poutnae koehoi thokhai awh.
I will say to the north, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Ka min lahoi ka kaw e tami pueng hoi, ka lentoe nahanelah ka sak e tamipueng teh thokhai awh haw telah ka ti han.
[even] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:
8 Mit tawn eiteh mitdawnnaw hoi hnâ tawn eiteh hnâpangnaw kai koe thokhai awh.
and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.
9 Miphun pueng hoi tamimaya hmuen touh koe kamkhueng awh naseh. Ahnimouh thung dawk apinimaw a pâpho thai teh, ayan e hno hah a hmu sak thai han. Lan sak lah o thai nahanelah, kapanuekkhaikung hah thokhai awh naseh. Telah hoeh nakunghai hnâ hoi thai awh nateh, hethateh lawkkatang doeh tet awh naseh.
All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the truth.
10 Na panue awh teh na yuem thai awh nahanelah, kai teh ahni doeh tie na panue thai awh nahanelah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung hoi ka rawi e ka sannaw doeh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ka hmalah sak e thung dawk bangpatet e cathut hai awm hoeh, ka hnuk lahai awm mahoeh.
Be you my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.
11 Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai laipateh rungngangkung alouke awm hoeh.
I am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.
12 Kama ni ka dei teh ka rungngang, na panue sak dawk nangmouh rahak cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Kai teh Cathut doeh.
I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] amongst you: you are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,
13 Ahnintha ao hoehnahlan kai teh ahni doeh. Ka kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thaikung apihai awm hoeh. Ka sak hnukkhu apinimaw a rakhout thai han.
even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?
14 Isarelnaw e Kathoung Poung, nangmouh karatangkung BAWIPA ni telah a dei, nangmouh kecu dawk Babilon kho dawk ransa ka patoun, hottelah abuemlah hoi Khaldean taminaw, a lunghawinae long dawk kayawngnaw a ceikhai e patetlah na ceikhai awh.
Thus says the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.
15 Kai teh, Jehovah, nangmae Tami Kathoung, Isarel kasakkung, nangmae siangpahrang doeh.
I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.
16 Tuipui dawk lamthung ka sak niteh, athakaawme tuinaw dawk lamthung ka sak e,
Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;
17 athakaawme tami, rangleng hoi marangnaw ka cetkhai niteh, bout thaw thai hoeh nahanelah karawmsakkung, hmaiim padue e patetlah karoumsakkung BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.
18 hnuk lae naw bout pouk hanh lawih, ayan e naw na lungthin dawk tat awh hanh leih.
Remember you not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.
19 Thai awh haw, hno katha ka sak han. Atu roeroe kamnue han. Nangmouh ni na panue katang han. Ramke lam ka sak vaiteh, thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak han.
Behold, I [will] do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and you shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.
20 Kahrawng e sarang, kahrawnguinaw, hoi kalaukva ni kai na bari han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rawi e taminaw ni a nei awh hane ramke vah tui ka poe teh thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak.
the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,
21 Kama hanelah ka pâkhueng e taminaw ni ka pholennae a kamnue sak awh han.
my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.
22 Hateiteh Oe Jakop, nangmouh ni na kaw awh hoeh. Oe Isarel, nangmouh ni kai na hmawtcei awh.
I have not now called you, O Jacob; neither have I made you weary, O Israel.
23 Hmaisawi thuengnae tu hah kai koe na thokhai awh hoeh. Thuengnae lahoi kai na pholen awh hoeh. Hnopoenae lahoi hnori na phawt sak boihoeh. Hmuitui hoi nangmanaw tha na tawn sak boihoeh.
You have not brought me the sheep of your whole burnt offering; neither have you glorified me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with sacrifices, neither have I wearied you with frankincense.
24 Hmuitui kacinge hah tangka hoi na ran pouh boihoeh, thuengnae sathei thaw hoi kai ka lung na kuep sak boihoeh. Yonnae phu phu hanelah thaw letlang na tawk sak, lam vah thoesaknae lahoi kai letlang na tawn sak awh.
Neither have you purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices: but you did stand before me in your sins, and in your iniquities.
25 Kai kama roeroe ni doeh kama hanelah nangmae kâ na tapoenae naw na takhoe pouh. Nangmae yonnae ka pouk mahoeh toe.
I, [even] I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and your sins; and I will not remember [them].
26 Na kapanuekkhaikung, pouk awh haw sei. Na lan awh nahanelah, na lawk dei awh haw.
But do you remember, and let us plead [together]: do you first confess your transgressions, that you may be justified.
27 Hmaloe e na pa ni, yon a sak teh, laiceinaw ni kâtapoe laihoi kai na taran awh.
Your fathers first, and your princes have transgressed against me.
28 Hatdawkvah, hmuen kathoung koe e kacuenaw, kakhin sak han, Jakop hah thoebo hanelah ka poe vaiteh, Isarelnaw pacekpahleknae khang hanelah ka pahnawt toe.
And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
