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.
Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not 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 go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
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.
And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
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 My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
5 Kai teh Jehovah doeh, alouke khoeroe awm hoeh. Kai hoeh laipateh Cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh.
I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and 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 they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
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.
Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing 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.
Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, 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 is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, 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 is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring 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 said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
12 Talai ka sak teh avan kaawm e tami ka sak. Ka kut hoi kalvan ka phai teh ransahu hah kâ ka poe.
I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded 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 have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH 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.
Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
15 Oe Isarel Cathut, rungngangkung ama lungpouk lahoi kâhrawk e Cathut roeroe doeh.
Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—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 have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
17 Isarelnaw hah yungyoe hloutnae hoi BAWIPA ni a rungngang han. A yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh poutnae awm laipalah kayayeirai awm mahoeh toe.
Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
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 said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
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, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
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.
Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not 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.
Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except 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 none else.
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.
I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
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.
Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
25 Isarel ca catounnaw pueng BAWIPA dawk lannae lah o awh vaiteh, BAWIPA teh a bawilennae lah ao han telah a ti.
In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
