Isaiah 58
1 Kacaipounglah hram nateh, panguep hanh. Mongka patetlah na lawk cai sak. Ka taminaw ni kâlawk a eknae hoi Jakop imthung yonnae hah pâpho haw.
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a horn, and declare unto My people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Hateiteh, hnintangkuem kai hah na tawng awh teh, ka lamthung panue e hah a ngai awh. Miphun buet touh ni lannae a sak teh, Cathut e lamthung a ceitakhai boihoeh e patetlah kângingnae phunglam hah na pâlei awh teh, Cathut hnai hane hai a ngai awh.
Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways; as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of Me righteous ordinances, they delight to draw near unto God.
3 Bangkongmaw, rawca ka hai awh e na hmu hoeh. Bang kecu dawk maw, oupnae na poe e hah na panuek laipalah ati awh. Khenhaw! rawca na hai hnin vah, namamouh nawmnae na sak awh teh, na thaw katawknaw pueng na dudam awh.
'Wherefore have we fasted, and Thou seest not? Wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and Thou takest no knowledge?' — Behold, in the day of your fast ye pursue your business, and exact all your labours.
4 Nangmouh ni kâyuekâounnae hoi, thoenae kut na kahluem awh teh, kâthaw hanelah, rawca hah ouk na hai awh. Sahnin e rawca na hai awh e patetlah na lawknaw hah lathueng lah thai hanelah rawca na hai awh mahoeh.
Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Rawcahai hnin vah, na ka rek awh e hah maw kai ni ka ngai e lah ao han. A kang patetlah lûsaling hane hoi, buri phai vaiteh vaiphu kâphuen hane na vaimoe. Hetheh, rawcahainae hoi BAWIPA ni a coe e hnin na ti awh han na vaimoe.
Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Tamikathout kateknae tangron rathap pouh e, yawcu patue e, hoi yawcu kâkhoe sak e heh ka ngai e rawcahainae nahoehmaw.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 A von ka hlamnaw koe rawca poe hane karoedengnaw im vah, thokhai e nahoehmaw. Caici lah kaawmnaw na hmu navah, khohna na poe hane, nama e tak na hmu toteh na roun hoeh nahoehmaw.
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Na angnae hah amom e kho ka sei e patetlah a sei vaiteh, damnae teh karanglah a pha han. Na lannae ni na hrawi vaiteh, BAWIPA bawilennae a kamnue sak han.
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
9 Hottelah na kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni a pato han. Na kaw toteh ahni ni, hi ka o ati han. Nangmouh thung dawk e yawcu hoi, khutdon hoi takhi e, dudamnae lawk dei e hah na kâvan sak awh teh,
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD will answer; thou shalt cry, and He will say: 'Here I am.' If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedness;
10 a von ka hlamnaw hanelah hring na pasoung teh, rektap e naw hah a von na paha sak pawiteh, hmonae um vah na angnae a tâco vaiteh, hmonae hah kanîthun patetlah ao han.
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thy gloom be as the noon-day;
11 Pout laipalah BAWIPA ni na hrawi awh han. Takang a tho navah, ka boum lah na paca han. Na hrunaw hai a tha ka o sak han. Tui ka bu e takha patetlah kahak boihoeh e tuiphuek patetlah na o han.
And the LORD will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 Nangmouh thung e taminaw ni palang ka rawk e hmuen hah na pathoup awh han. Se moikapap e adu lah ung e pathoup awh ati han. Hottelah nangmouh teh, ka rawk e ka pathoupkung tamimaya lam, khosak nahanelah, patuen ka pathoupkung lah na o awh ati awh han.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places, thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 Sabbath a ek hoeh nahan hoi, hnin kathoung hnin nah na ngai e na sak hoeh nahanelah, sabbath hah nawmnae doeh na titeh, BAWIPA e hnin kathoung teh, bari han kamcu na titeh, ma ngai e tarawi mahoeh, mae nawmnae hai sak mahoeh, lawk dei laipalah na pho na len awh pawiteh,
If thou turn away thy foot because of the sabbath, from pursuing thy business on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honourable; and shalt honour it, not doing thy wonted ways, nor pursuing thy business, nor speaking thereof;
14 BAWIPA dawkvah, na lunghawi vaiteh, talai a rasangnae hmuen dawk na kâcui han. Na pa Jakop ni a pang e râw hoi na kawk han. BAWIPA e pahni ni a dei toe ati.
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD, and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
