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.
Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
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.
Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
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.
For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
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 fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no more;
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, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.
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.
For, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected saith thy God.
7 Nang hah dongdengca na pahnawt dawkvah, moikapap e pahrennae hoi bout na pâkhueng han.
For a small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
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 an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
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.
For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to rebuke thee.
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.
For, the mountains, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
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.
O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;
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.
And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
13 Na catoun pueng teh BAWIPA ni cangkhai e lah awm vaiteh, na canaw e roumnae teh a len han.
And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
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.
In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.
15 Kaie kâ laipalah, apinihai na taran mahoeh toe. Nang tuk hanelah kamkhueng e pueng teh, koung a rawp awh han.
Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
16 Hmaisaan ka hmu niteh, ama hanelah senehmaica ka dêi e hah ka sak teh, sumkadêinaw hai ka sak.
Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
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.
No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
