Isaiah 45
1 BAWIPA ni satui a awi e Sairas miphun hah a hmalah tabut sak hane hoi, siangpahrangnaw e taisawm rading sak hane hoi, a hmalah tho paawng sak hane hoi, kalupnae longkha khan hoeh nahanelah, aranglae kut hoi ka man e koevah hettelah a dei.
This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:
2 Kai ni na hmalah ka cei vaiteh, kânging hoeh e hah ka kânging sak han. Rahum longkha hah be ka raphoe vaiteh, tarennae thing hai be ka bouk han.
“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
3 BAWIPA min ka kaw e Isarel Cathut lah ka o e hah na panue thai nahan, khohmo thung e râw hah na poe vaiteh, hro e hnopai hah na poe han.
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka san Jakop hoi ka rawi e Isarelnaw kecu dawk ka min lahoi na kaw e a tho. Kai na panuek awh hoeh eiteh min na phung awh.
For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.
5 Kai teh Jehovah doeh, alouke khoeroe awm hoeh. Kai hoeh laipateh Cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh.
I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,
6 Kai hloilah alouke khoeroe awm hoeh tie hah kanîtho koehoi kanîloum totouh a panue thai awh nahan, na panue awh hoeh nakunghai, na keng na yeng pouh han. Kai teh Jehovah doeh alouke khoeroe awm hoeh.
so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7 Angnae ka sak teh hmonae ka o sak, roumnae ka o sak, yawthoenae hai ka o sak, hete hnopueng ka sak e BAWIPA kai doeh.
I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
8 Kalvannaw lathueng lahoi khorak sak haw, Tâmainaw lannae kho awi haw. Talai kamawng nateh rungngangnae hoi lannae paw awh naseh. Kai Jehovah ni hottelah ka o sak.
Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
9 Ama kasakkung ka taran e teh a yawkathout e lah ao. Talai hlaam thung dawk e hlaam rumram e ni, kasakkung koe bangpatet e lah maw na sak atipouh han maw. Hoehpawiteh, na kut ni a sak thai e banghai na thoum e awm hoeh ati han na maw.
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 A na pa koe bangpatet e maw na khe, a manu koe bangpatet e maw na vawn, ka tet e tami teh a yawthoe.
Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
11 Isarelnaw e Jehovah, Kathounge ni a dei e teh, ka tho hane hno hah kai koe het haw. Ka capanaw e kong hoi ka thaw tawk e kong dawk kâ na poe awh haw.
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “How dare you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?
12 Talai ka sak teh avan kaawm e tami ka sak. Ka kut hoi kalvan ka phai teh ransahu hah kâ ka poe.
It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.
13 Ama teh lannae hoi ka kangdue sak teh, a lamthungnaw hah kalan sak han. Ka khopui hah a kangdue sak han. Thongim paung e ka taminaw hah aphu laipalah, tawkphu hai patho laipalah, cetsak naseh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”
14 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Izipnaw patetlah thawtawkkung hoi Ethiopia hno kayawtnaw hoi Sabeanaw ka rasang poung e naw hah nangmouh koe a tho awh vaiteh, na hnukkâbang e lah ao awh han. Sumrui pâkhi laihoi a tho awh han. Hottelah tabo nalaihoi barinae na poe awh han. Cathut teh nangmouh koe ao katang doeh. Alouklah khoeroe awm hoeh. Cathut alouke khoeroe awm hoeh telah nangmouh koe kâheinae a sak awh han.
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
15 Oe Isarel Cathut, rungngangkung ama lungpouk lahoi kâhrawk e Cathut roeroe doeh.
Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 Yeiraipo hoi ao awh han, abuemlah kayanae hoi ao awh han. Meikaphawk kasaknaw hah pouknae awm laipalah rei a cei awh han.
They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.
17 Isarelnaw hah yungyoe hloutnae hoi BAWIPA ni a rungngang han. A yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh poutnae awm laipalah kayayeirai awm mahoeh toe.
But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
18 Kalvan kasakkung BAWIPA ni ama teh Cathut, talai hai kasakkung lah ao. Ama ni talai hah a cak sak. Banglahai ka tho hoeh lah sak hoeh, tami o nahanelah a sak e doeh. Hettelah a dei, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o, alouke khoeroe awm hoeh.
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19 Arulah hoi hmonae dawk lawk ka dei boihoeh. Ka rawi e Jakop miphun koe na tawng awh ka tet pouh boihoeh. Kai BAWIPA ni lannae lawk ka dei teh, kalan e lawk hah ouk ka dei.
I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.
20 Kamkhueng awh nateh tho awh haw. Miphun ka kuep reknae dawk hoi ka hlout e naw, cungtalah na hnai awh haw. Thing meikaphawk kasaknaw, tami ka rungngang thai hoeh e, cathut koe ouk karatoumnaw ni panuenae roeroe tawn awh hoeh.
Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Dei pouh awh. Tâcawt sak haw. Pouknae kâpoe awh naseh. Ayan hoi apinimaw a panue sak, apinimaw a dei pouh boi. Kai BAWIPA ni ka sak e nahoehmaw. Kai laipalah Cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Kalan e hoi rungngangkung Cathut lah ka o. Kai hoeh laipateh alouke roeroe awm hoeh.
Speak up and present your case— yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.
22 Talai pout totouh kaawm e pueng hah khenhaw! rungngang e lah awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh Cathut lah ka o, alouke khoeroe awm hoeh.
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Khokpakhu hoi tami pueng ni ka hmalah a cuengkhuem awh han. Talai tami pueng ni ka hmalah thoe a kâbo awh hoi lawk a kam awh han. Lawk teh lannae hoi ka pahni dawk hoi a tâco vaiteh ban mahoeh toe.
By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 BAWIPA dawk dueng lannae hoi thaonae ao telah a dei awh han. Ama koe a tho awh vaiteh, ama koe a lung kakuep hoeh e pueng teh yeirai a po awh han.
Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
25 Isarel ca catounnaw pueng BAWIPA dawk lannae lah o awh vaiteh, BAWIPA teh a bawilennae lah ao han telah a ti.
In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
