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.
BUT now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art 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.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
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 thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
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 thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy 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 thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee 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, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, 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 every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 Mit tawn eiteh mitdawnnaw hoi hnâ tawn eiteh hnâpangnaw kai koe thokhai awh.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
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.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is 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.
Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai laipateh rungngangkung alouke awm hoeh.
I, even I, am the Lord; 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, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am 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.
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
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 saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 Kai teh, Jehovah, nangmae Tami Kathoung, Isarel kasakkung, nangmae siangpahrang doeh.
I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Tuipui dawk lamthung ka sak niteh, athakaawme tuinaw dawk lamthung ka sak e,
Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
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,
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 hnuk lae naw bout pouk hanh lawih, ayan e naw na lungthin dawk tat awh hanh leih.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
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 a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
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 beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 Kama hanelah ka pâkhueng e taminaw ni ka pholennae a kamnue sak awh han.
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22 Hateiteh Oe Jakop, nangmouh ni na kaw awh hoeh. Oe Isarel, nangmouh ni kai na hmawtcei awh.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, 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.
Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
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.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine 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 blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26 Na kapanuekkhaikung, pouk awh haw sei. Na lan awh nahanelah, na lawk dei awh haw.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Hmaloe e na pa ni, yon a sak teh, laiceinaw ni kâtapoe laihoi kai na taran awh.
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers 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.
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
