Isaiah 50
1 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nangmae manu manae ca, kâmanae hah nâne ao. Nahoeh pawiteh, ka laiba dawkvah api koe maw nangmanaw hah na yo awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, namamae na payonnae dawkvah san lah na o awh. Namamouh kaya poenae dawkvah, nangmae manu ka manae doeh.
Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Kai ka tho navah bangkongmaw taminaw ao awh hoeh. Bangkongmaw na kaw awh lahun nah na pato awh hoeh. Kai ni na ratang thai awh hoeh nahanelah, ka kut a duem namaw. Rungngang thai hoeh nahanlah bahu ka tawn hoeh na maw. Khenhaw! kai ni ka yue teh, tuipui hai remphui. Palang pui hai kahrawng patetlah ka o sak. Tui ao hoeh dawk tanganaw a pawk awh. Tui kahran hoi a due awh.
Why, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish becometh putrid, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 Kalvan teh hmonae hoi ka tangoung teh, burihni ka kâkhu sak.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 Ka tâwn e koe lawk hoi a tawnnae ka dam sak thai nahanelah, Bawipa Jehovah ni thoumthainae lai na poe. Amom tangkuem kai hah na pâhlaw, ca ka kamtu e patetlah thaisak hanelah ka hnâ heh a pâhlaw.
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to hear as the learned.
5 Bawipa Jehovah ni ka hnâ hah a paawng teh, kai hai kangek mahoeh. Ka taran mahoeh. Hnuklah kâhnawn mahoeh.
The LORD GOD opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 Ka keng kahemnaw koe thoseh, hmaibeisam kapawnnaw koe thoseh, hmaibei ka patueng. Yeiraiponae hoi tamthawinae dawk hoi ka minhmai ka hrawk hoeh.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp han. Hatdawkvah, yeirai ka po mahoeh. Hatdawkvah, lungtaw patetlah ka minhmai ka hruek teh, kayak mahoeh tie ka panue.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 Kai tangnae na kapoekung teh a hnai toe. Apimaw na tuk han. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw. Kamtueng awh sei. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw, rek na hnai naseh.
[He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together; who [is] my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp roeroe han. Apinimaw kai hah na sung sak han. Hot patetlah e taminaw teh napon patetlah ao awh vaiteh, khakbara ni koung a ca awh han.
Behold the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Nangmouh dawk apimaw BAWIPA ka taket, ahni teh a san e lawk ngai naseh. Apimaw angnae tawn laipalah hmonae dawk ouk ka cet. Jehovah min hah kâuep nateh, amae Cathut dawk kamngawi naseh.
Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely upon his God.
11 Hmai hah patawi teh, amamouh hmaitali hoi muen kâkatum e taminaw, namamae hmaiang dawk thoseh, namamouh ni patawi e hmainaw dawk thoseh, cet awh. Hetheh ka kut dawk hoi ka sin e hmai teh namamouh koe lah tangpek vaiteh, lungmathoe laihoi na yan awh han.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that encompass [yourselves] with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
