Isaiah 52
1 Oe, Zion kâhlaw, kâhlaw. Na thaonae hoi kamthoup. Oe Jerusalem kho, kathounge khopui, khohna kahawi hoi kamthoup. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atu hoi teh, vuensom ka a hoehnaw hoi kamhnawngnaw teh na thung vah kâen mahoeh toe.
Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2 Oe Jerusalem, vaiphu na kâbetnae tâkhawng haw. Thaw nateh, tahung haw. Oe Zion canu san lah na onae na lahuen dawk pâkhi e ratham haw.
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Banghai bang hoeh lah na yo awh. Hot patetlah tangka laipalah hoi na ratang han toe telah atipouh.
For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka taminaw Izip ram o hanelah hmaloe a cathuk awh teh, Assirianaw ni a khuekhaw awm laipalah hoi rep a coungroe awh.
For the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 Ka taminaw hah banglahai awm laipalah a ceikhai awh. Hatdawkvah, bangmaw hi ka sak han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ahnimouh tak dawk ka ukkungnaw ni lungmathoe hoi a khuika sak awh telah BAWIPA ni ati. A hnintangkuem pout laipalah ka min a pacekpahlek awh a ti.
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Hatdawkvah, ka taminaw ni ka min hah a panue awh han, lawk kadeikung hah kai doeh telah hat hnin vah a panue awh han. Khenhaw! kai doeh telah a ti.
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
7 Monsom vah kamthang kahawi ka phatkhai e, roumnae lawk hah ka hramkhai e, hawinae kamthang ka phat sak e, rungngangnae lawk hah ka oung e, Zion koevah, na Cathut ni a uk katetkung e a khok teh a meihawi poung.
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Na ramveng ni a lawk hah a tâco sak han. A lawk tâco hoi cungtalah la a sak awh han.
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9 Ka rawk e Jerusalem hmuennaw vaitalahoi na lunghawi awh. Cungtalah la sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a taminaw hah a lungmawng sak teh, Jerusalem hah a ratang toe.
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 BAWIPA ni a miphun abuemlae a mithmu vah, kathounge a kut a pâtue teh, kalvan e kaawmnaw pueng ni Cathut e rungngangnae a hmu han.
Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 Tâcawt awh. Tâcawt awh. Haw hoi tâcawt awh. Ka khin e tek hanh awh. Haw hoi tâcawt awh. BAWIPA e hnopai ka phawt naw, kathoungcalah awm awh.
Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
12 Nangmouh teh, ka rang lah na tâcawt awh hoeh, yawng hai na yawng awh hoeh. BAWIPA hah na hmalah cet vaiteh, Isarel Cathut teh na hmalah hoi kountoukkung lah ao han.
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Khenhaw! ka san ni lungangcalah a sak han. Ahni teh karasangpoung lah ka talue lah ka tawmrasang e lah ao han.
Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
14 Tami moikapap ni a kângairukhai e patetlah a mei teh tami mei hlak hai a mathoe teh, a takthai hai tami e takthai hlak a mathoe.
Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
15 Hot patetlah, ahni ni miphunnaw pueng hah a thoung sak han. Siangpahrangnaw ni amamae pahni a tabuem awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, dei boihoeh e a hmu awh han, thai boihoeh e hai a thai awh han.
so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
