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 Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, That formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by 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 waters, I will be with thee; And through rivers, they shall not overflow thee; When thou walkest through fire, thou shalt not be burned, And the flame shall not consume 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 Jehovah, thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy saviour. I will give 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.
Because thou art precious in my sight, Because thou art honored, and I love thee, Therefore will I give men for thee, And nations 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 children 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 them up!” And to the South, “Withhold them not! Bring my sons from afar, 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.
Every one that is called by my name, That I have created for my glory, That I have formed and made!”
8 Mit tawn eiteh mitdawnnaw hoi hnâ tawn eiteh hnâpangnaw kai koe thokhai awh.
Bring forth the blind people, having eyes, And the deaf, having 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 the kingdoms be assembled! Who among them hath declared this, And can show us former predictions? Let them produce their witnesses that they are right; That men may hear, and say, It is true!
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 Jehovah, And my servant whom I have chosen, That ye may know and believe me, And understand that I am He. Before me was no god formed, And after me there shall be none.
11 Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai laipateh rungngangkung alouke awm hoeh.
I, I am Jehovah, And besides 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 made it known, when there was no strange god among you; Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, 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.
Even from the beginning of time I have been He, And none can rescue from my hand; I undertake, and who can hinder?
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 Jehovah, Your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sakes have I sent to Babylon, And caused all her fugitives, And the Chaldeans, to descend to the ships of their delight.
15 Kai teh, Jehovah, nangmae Tami Kathoung, Isarel kasakkung, nangmae siangpahrang doeh.
I, Jehovah, am 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 Jehovah, —He that made 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,
That caused the chariot and the horse, the army and the forces, to march forth; There they lay down together; they rose no more; They were extinguished; they were quenched like a torch; —
18 hnuk lae naw bout pouk hanh lawih, ayan e naw na lungthin dawk tat awh hanh leih.
Remember not the former things; The things of old regard no more!
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 do a new thing; Now shall it spring forth; yea, ye shall see it. Behold, I make a way in the wilderness, And streams 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 beasts of the forest shall honor me, The jackals and the ostriches; For I make rivers in the wilderness And streams 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, which I have formed for myself Shall make known my praise.
22 Hateiteh Oe Jakop, nangmouh ni na kaw awh hoeh. Oe Isarel, nangmouh ni kai na hmawtcei awh.
Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, So as to have wearied thyself for 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 thy lambs for a burnt-offering, Nor honored me with thy sacrifices; I have not burdened thee with oblations, 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-smelling reed with silver, Neither hast thou satisfied me with the fat of thy sacrifices; With thy sins hast thou burdened me, And 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, I myself, blot out thy transgressions for my 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; Speak that thou mayst justify thyself.
27 Hmaloe e na pa ni, yon a sak teh, laiceinaw ni kâtapoe laihoi kai na taran awh.
Thy forefathers sinned, And thy teachers were rebellious 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 have I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, And given up Jacob to a curse, And Israel to reproach.
