Isaiah 55
1 Oe, tui kahran pueng, tui aonae koe tho awh. Tangka ka tawn hoeh naw tho awh. Ran awh nateh net awh. Tangka hoi aphu poe laipalah tho awh nateh misurtui hoi sanutui ran awh haw.
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
2 Rawca lah kaawm hoeh e dawk nangmouh ni na tangka thoseh, von ka paha thai hoeh e dawk na hnopai thoseh bangkongmaw na pâbaw awh. Ka lawk thai awh haw. Kahawie rawca hah cat awh. Na hringnae a nawm han.
Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
3 Na hnâpakeng awh nateh, thai awh haw. Hottelah na tet awh pawiteh, nangmae muitha teh a hring han. Kai ni hai, nangmouh hoi a yungyoe lawkkamnae ka sak vaiteh, Devit dawk lungmanae ka caksak han.
Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
4 Khenhaw! ahni teh, tami pueng hanelah, kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o sak hane thoseh, taminaw hanelah kahrawikung kacue lah thoseh, miphunnaw koe ka poe toe.
Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
5 BAWIPA Cathut hoi Isarel Tami Kathoung kecu dawk, na panue boihoeh e miphun hah na kaw han. Nang na ka panuek boihoeh e miphun hah, nang koe a yawng han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a bawilennae caksak toe telah ati.
Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
6 Hmu thai lahun nah BAWIPA hah tawng awh, a hnai lahun nah ama hah kaw awh.
Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
7 Tamikathout ni a lamthung cettakhai naseh. Tamikalan hoeh e ni a pouknae thoseh, a pahnawt vaiteh, BAWIPA koe ban naseh. Hottelah tetpawiteh, a pahren han. Maimae Cathut koe kâthung naseh, hottelah tetpawiteh, a ngaithoum han.
Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka pouknae heh, nangmae pouknae hoi kâvan hoeh. Ka lamthung hai na lamthung hoi kâvan hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
9 Kalvan heh talai hlak a rasang e patetlah ka lamthung hai na lamthung hlak a rasang teh, ka pouknae hai na pouknae hlak a rasang.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ratui hoi tadamtui teh, kalvan hoi a rak teh bout ban toung laipalah, cati kahei koe cati hah a poe teh, rawca ka cat hane koe rawca hah a poe thai nahan, talai a duk sak teh, a kung a pâw sak teh, a paw a paw sak e patetlah,
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
11 Ka kâko hoi ka tâcawt e ka lawk teh ao han. Ayawmlah kama koe bout ban mahoeh. Ka ngainae a kuep sak vaiteh, ka patoun ngainae dawk kuepcingnae a hmu han.
so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lunghawi laihoi na tâco awh vaiteh, karoumcalah na ceikhai awh han. Montang monruinaw ni nangmae hmalah la a sak awh han. Kahrawng e thingnaw pueng ni a kuttabawng awh han.
You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Pâkhing yueng lah hmaica, pho yueng lah tuihannaw a pâw han. Hote hno teh BAWIPA hanelah minhawinae hoi, kahmat thai hoeh e a yungyoe mitnout lah ao han.
Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
