Isaiah 54
1 Oe, carôe e napui, lunghawi hoi la sak haw. Ca khe patawnae ka khang boihoeh rae napui, la sak hoi hram haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a vâ ka sak e napui ni ca sak e hlak pahnawt e ni ca hoe kapap a sak toe telah BAWIPA ni ati.
Sing for joy, childless woman, you who have had a baby! Shout aloud, and sing happily, Jerusalem, you who have never given birth! For the abandoned woman now has more children than the married woman, says the Lord.
2 Na im hmuen hah pakaw haw. Na onae lemphu hah rayang haw. Pasai hanh. Ruinaw hah saw sak haw. Khomnaw hah kacaklah ung haw.
Make the tent where you live bigger; stretch the fabric to enlarge your home. Don't try and save space—extend your tent cords and make your tent pegs stronger.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh avoilah aranglah na pungdaw han. Na catoun ni miphunnaw hah râw lah coe vaiteh, ahnimae kingkadi kho dawk kho a sak awh han.
You're going to be spreading out right and left; your descendants will take over the land of other nations and live in towns that were once abandoned.
4 Taket hanh, na kayak mahoeh. Na lungpout hanh, na min mathout mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na nawca nah na khang e kayanae hah na pahnim han. Lahmainu lah na o dawk pathoenae hah bout na pouk mahoeh toe.
Do not be afraid, for you won't be humiliated; don't be upset, for you won't be disgraced. You will forget about the shame of your youth, and you won't remember the embarrassment of your widowhood any longer.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na ka sak e teh, nange vâ lah ao. A min teh, ransahu BAWIPA doeh. Nang karatangkung teh Isarel miphun dawk kathounge Cathut lah ao. Talai pueng a uk teh Cathut telah a kaw awh.
For your Maker is your husband, the Lord Almighty is his name the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, he is called the God of the whole earth.
6 Pahnawt teh a lung ka mathout e napui, a naw navah yu lah kaawm niteh, a hnukkhu mae napui hah bout kaw e patetlah nang hah bout na kaw han telah na Cathut ni ati.
The Lord has called you to come back, like a wife who's been abandoned and deeply hurt, a wife who was married when she was young, only to be rejected, says your God.
7 Nang hah dongdengca na pahnawt dawkvah, moikapap e pahrennae hoi bout na pâkhueng han.
I deserted you for just a little while, but I will bring you back, showing you a great deal of kindness.
8 Puenghoi ka lungkhuek teh, dongdengca ka minhmai ka hro ei nakunghai, a yungyoe lungpatawnae lahoi bout na pahren han telah nang ka ratang e Jehovah ni ati.
In a moment of anger I turned my face away from you, but now with trustworthy love I will always be kind to you, says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 Noah se nah e tuikamuem a tho navah, hote tui ni talai teh bout kamuem sin mahoeh toe telah lawk ka kam e patetlah nang koe ka lungkhuek mahoeh toe, na yue mahoeh toe telah thoe ka bo toe.
To me this is just like Noah's time, when I promised on oath that a flood would never cover the earth again. In the same way I promise on oath that I won't be angry with you or tell you off.
10 Monnaw kahmat niteh, monruinaw kampuen nakunghai, kaie lungpatawnae teh nang koe hoi kampuen mahoeh. Kaie roumnae lawkkam hai kampuen mahoeh telah nang ka pahren e BAWIPA ni ati.
Though the mountains cease to exist and the hills disappear, yet my trustworthy love for you won't cease to exist and my agreement of peace won't disappear, says the Lord, who shows you kindness.
11 Oe, nang rektap e hoi tûili ni meng a raphoe teh, lungmawngnae ka tawn hoeh e, khenhaw! na talungnaw teh talung phu kaawm phunkuep hoi ka pathoup vaiteh, na talungdu teh, Sapphire talung hoi ka ung han.
My poor storm-damaged city that can't be comforted! Look, I'm going to reset your stones in cement made of antimony, I will use sapphires to lay your foundations.
12 Longkhanaw hah rubies talung hoi thoseh, thonaw hah khristal talung hoi thoseh, tapang pueng teh aphu kaawm e talungnaw hoi thoseh, ka sak han.
I will make your fortifications out of rubies; I will make your gates out of sparkling beryl. All your walls will be made of precious stones,
13 Na catoun pueng teh BAWIPA ni cangkhai e lah awm vaiteh, na canaw e roumnae teh a len han.
and all your children will be students of the Lord, and they will live in complete peace.
14 Lannae dawk caksak lah na o han. Repcoungroenae hoi na kâhlat toung vaiteh, na taket mahoeh toe. Lungpuennae hai hlat toung vaiteh nang koe phat mahoeh toe.
Your society will operate from principles of goodness and right; nobody will be there to oppress you. You won't be afraid; you won't have to face any kind of terror.
15 Kaie kâ laipalah, apinihai na taran mahoeh toe. Nang tuk hanelah kamkhueng e pueng teh, koung a rawp awh han.
If any invader comes to attack you, I didn't send them; you will defeat anyone who attacks you.
16 Hmaisaan ka hmu niteh, ama hanelah senehmaica ka dêi e hah ka sak teh, sumkadêinaw hai ka sak.
Look—I have created a blacksmith who blows the coals into a hot flame and forges a suitable weapon; and I have created the destroyer who brings destruction.
17 Nang taran hanelah a sak awh e senehmaica buet touh boehai coung mahoeh. Lawkcengnae koe nang ka taran e pueng a sung awh han. BAWIPA e sannaw teh hot patet e râw hah a coe awh vaiteh, kai kecu dawk lannae koe a pha awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
None of the weapons forged against you will succeed, and you will condemn anyone who accuses you. This is how the servants of the Lord are blessed, and I am the one who vindicates them, declares the Lord.
