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.
Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.
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 do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.
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.
Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of 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.
See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.
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.
See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.
6 Hmu thai lahun nah BAWIPA hah tawng awh, a hnai lahun nah ama hah kaw awh.
Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to 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 sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
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, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.
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 are my ways 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 as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;
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 will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent 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.
For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
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.
In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.
