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 saith Yhwh, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: 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 that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth 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 son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to Yhwh, speak, saying, Yhwh hath utterly separated me from his people: neither 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 saith Yhwh unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, 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.
Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place 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 sons of the stranger, that join themselves to Yhwh, to serve him, and to love the name of Yhwh, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh 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.
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
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 Yhwh which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
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 ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, 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, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his 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, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
