Isaiah 56
1 BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Kângingnae hah kuen nateh, lannae hah sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie rungngangnae meimei a tho toe, ka lannae hah pâpho lah ao han.
Thus says Jehovah, Keep ye justice, and do righteousness. For my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Hete hno kasaknaw hoi hot patetlah kacaklah ka kuen e tami capa, sabbath ek laipalah hawihoehnae sak laipalah, a kut ka ring e teh, a yaw ka hawi e tami lah ao.
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Hahoi, ramlouk tami, amadueng lahoi BAWIPA hoi kâkuen e capa ni, BAWIPA ni a taminaw thung hoi abuemlahoi na kapek tet nahanh seh. Tuenla ni khenhaw! thingke lah doeh rip ka o awh tet nahanh seh.
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah will surely separate me from his people, nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie sabbath hnin ya hoi ka lunghawikhai e hno hah ka rawi niteh, ka lawkkam pou ka kuen e tuenla kong dawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
For thus says Jehovah of the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
5 Ahnimouh koe ka im vah thoseh, ka rapan thung thoseh, canu capa katawnnaw hlak haiyah, pahnim hoeh nahan minhawinae ka poe han. Ahnimouh koe yungyoe kâraphoe thai hoeh e min hah ka poe han.
To them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Ahnie san lah o hane, BAWIPA min lungpataw hane, BAWIPA kâuep hane, ramlouk e tami capanaw a mahmawk lahoi BAWIPA hoi kâkuennaw hai sabbath ek laipalah, ya hanelah ka lawkkam ka kuen e pueng,
Also the foreigners who join themselves to Jehovah, to minister to him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant,
7 ahnimouh roeroe hah ka mon kathoung koe ka ceikhai han. Kaie ratoumnae im dawk ka lunghawikhai han, hmaisawi thueng hanlah poe e naw hoi thuengnae naw hah, kaie khoungroe dawk hoi ka dâw pouh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie ka im teh, miphunnaw pueng hanelah ratoumnae im ati awh han.
even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 Bawipa Jehovah ni a pâlei e Isarel bout ka pâkhueng e ni, ama koe pâkhueng tangcoung e naw touksin laipalah, tami alouknaw hai ahnimouh koe ka pâkhueng han telah ati.
The lord Jehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather to him, besides his own who are gathered.
9 Thingyei um e moithangnaw pueng hoiyah, ratu um kaawm e moithangnaw pueng, ca hanelah tho awh.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 Ahnimae ramvengnaw teh a mit ka dawn e a tho. Thainae ka tawn hoeh e naw seng lah ao awh teh, abuemlahoi a lawk kacaihoehe ui, ka rauk thai hoeh e ui lah ao awh. Karum mang sak hoi, pou ka ip niteh, i dueng ka panki e lah ao awh.
His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Ka carawng ni teh ka khout boihoeh e uinaw lah ao awh. Ahnimouh teh, thaipanueknae ka tawn hoeh e tukkhoumnaw doeh. Makhomaram vah, mahoima mek nahanelah abuemlahoi lam a phen awh toe.
Yea, the dogs are greedy; they can never have enough. And these are shepherds who cannot understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12 Tho awh haw, misur ka thokhai vai, yamu hah king net awh sei. Tangtho hai sahnin e patetlah han na a, apap hai hoe apap han doeh telah ati.
Come ye, they say, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure.
