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, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” 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.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
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 you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
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.
“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood 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 your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be 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.
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7 Nang hah dongdengca na pahnawt dawkvah, moikapap e pahrennae hoi bout na pâkhueng han.
“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
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 overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on 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.
“For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
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 depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
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.
“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colours, and lay your foundations with 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.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Na catoun pueng teh BAWIPA ni cangkhai e lah awm vaiteh, na canaw e roumnae teh a len han.
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
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.
You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Kaie kâ laipalah, apinihai na taran mahoeh toe. Nang tuk hanelah kamkhueng e pueng teh, koung a rawp awh han.
Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
16 Hmaisaan ka hmu niteh, ama hanelah senehmaica ka dêi e hah ka sak teh, sumkadêinaw hai ka sak.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer 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 weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
