Isaiah 57
1 Tamikalan a due teh, hawinae ka sak e tami hah takhoe lah ao navah, tamikalan hah hawihoehnae thung hoi takhoe toe tie hah apinihai thaipanuek awh hoeh, apinihai pouk awh hoeh.
The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
2 Hot patet e tami teh roumnae thung a kâen toe. Ahnimouh teh kalan lah a hring awh teh, amamae ikhun dawk a kâhat awh.
Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
3 Ân ka sin e napui e capanaw, uicuknaw hoi ka kâyawt e catounnaw hi tho awh haw.
But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
4 Nangmouh ni apimaw na pacai awh. Api hanelah maw na lai na pâthosin awh vaw. Nangmouh teh laithoe catoun, kâ ka ek e catoun,
Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
5 kathenkungnaw e rahim vah, meikaphawk koe ka cuk e, ravo thung, lungha rahak camo kathetnaw nahoehmaw.
Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
6 Ravo yawn talung kâpinaw rahak nangmae ham teh ao. Hot patetlah e hno teh nangmae râw doeh. Hetnaw e hmalah nei thuengnae hoi tavai thuengnae naw hah na rabawk awh. Hotnaw hah ka ngai han na maw.
In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
7 Mon rasangnae koe na ikhun hah na hruek teh, hote hmuen koe thueng nahanelah ouk na luen.
Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.
8 Nang pahnim hoeh nahanlah tho hnuklah na hruek teh, kai koe laipalah alouknaw koe khohna na rading teh na luen toe. Na ikhun na pakaw teh, ahnimouh koe lawkkamnae na sak toe. Tawngtai lah na hmu e ahnimae ikhun hah na lungpataw toe.
And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.
9 Satui na sin teh siangpahrang koe na cei toe. Hmuitui na pung sak toe. Laiceinaw hah ahlanae koe na patoun teh, Sheol totouh na patoun toe. (Sheol h7585)
And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Na ceinae lam ahlapoung dawkvah ngawt na tâwn eiteh, na lungpout hoeh. Na kâyawm teh na hlout dawkvah, na thathout hoeh.
Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
11 Nang ni apini na bari teh, na taki dawk maw laithoe dei laihoi kai na pahnim. Hoehpawiteh, na lungthin hoi na pouk hoeh. Kasawlah duem ka o dawk maw na taki hoeh.
For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.
12 Na lannae hoi na tawksak e hah ka pâpho han. Hatei, cungkeinae awm mahoeh.
I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.
13 Na hram toteh, na pâkhueng e meikaphawknaw ni na rungngang naseh. Hatei, hotnaw teh kahlî ni ahlanae koe a sin han. Kâha ni a palek awh han. Hatei, kai na kâuep e niteh, ram hah pang awh vaiteh, mon kathoungnaw hah râw lah a pang awh han.
When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.
14 Hahoi, talai paten awh, talai paten awh. Lam pathoup awh. Ka taminaw e lam dawk e thongmuinaw hah takhoe awh telah ka dei.
And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a rasang poungnae koe tawm lah kaawm e, a yungyoe kangning e, a min Thoungnae telah ka tawn e ni hettelah a dei, Kai teh a rasangnae koe kathounge hmuen koe ka o. Ka kârahnoumnaw e lungthin pâhlaw hoi pankângai e lungthin pâhlaw hanelah, a lung hoi pankângai katang e hoi kârahnoum katangnaw koevah ka o.
For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a yungyoe ka tuk mahoeh, ka lung hai pou khuek mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka sak e kâha hoi muitha teh ka hma lah a tâwn han doeh.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.
17 Bangkongtetpawiteh, utsinnae hoi payonnae dawkvah, ka lungkhuek teh ka tuk, ka minhmai ka hro teh ka lungkhuek. Hatei, ahnimouh teh amamae lungpata laihoi ao awh.
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.
18 A hringnae teh ka hmu toe. Ahni teh, ka dam sak han. Ka ceikhai vaiteh, ahni hoi ahni kakhuinaw koevah, lungmawngnae teh bout ka poe han.
I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
19 Pahni paw hah ka sak. Ahlanae koe kaawmnaw hoi a hnainae koe kaawmnaw koevah, roumnae, roumnae teh awm lawiseh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hahoi ahni teh ka dam sak han ati.
I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
20 Hatei, tamikathoutnaw teh, kâhuen e talî patetlah ao. Duem ao thai hoeh toteh, songnawng hoi tangdong a tâco sak.
But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.
21 Tamikathoutnaw hanelah roumnae awm hoeh telah ka Cathut ni ati.
There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
