< 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 the Lord, Keep you judgement, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my mercy 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 that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the sabbaths from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.
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.
Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from his people: and let not the eunuch say, 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,
Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs, as many as shall keep my sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of 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.
I will give to them in my house and within my walls an honourable place, better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.
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,
And [I will give it] to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and [as for] all that keep my sabbaths from profaning [them], and that take hold of 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.
I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,
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.
says the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.
9 Thingyei um e moithangnaw pueng hoiyah, ratu um kaawm e moithangnaw pueng, ca hanelah tho awh.
All you beasts of the field, come, devour, all you beasts of 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.
See how they are all blinded: they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, 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.
Yes, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].
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.
