Isaiah 60
1 Thaw nateh, ang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na angnae a pha, BAWIPA bawilennae teh na tak dawk a pha toe.
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
2 Hmonae ni talai hah a ramuk vaiteh, kathapoung e hmonae ni taminaw a ramuk han. Hatei, BAWIPA teh nang dawk tâcawt vaiteh, a bawilennae teh nang dawk hmu lah kaawm han.
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 Jentelnaw nange angnae koe a tho han. Siangpahrangnaw hai nange angnae koe a tho han.
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
4 Kalvan lah moung nateh, na tengpam pueng khenh. Abuemlahoi a kamkhueng awh teh, ahnimouh koe a tho awh. Na capanaw hah lamhla pui hoi a tho awh vaiteh, na canunaw hah a camo patetlah a tawn awh han.
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
5 Hote hah na hmawt awh vaiteh, na ang awh han. Na lungthin hah lunghawinae hoi a kawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuilam hoi hno kayawtnaw nangmouh koe moi tho awh vaiteh, Jentelnaw hnopai pueng nangmouh koe a tho han.
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
6 Na ram teh kalauk hoi kawi vaiteh, Midian hoi Ephah ram e kalauktan kanaw pueng hah, Seba ram hoi tho vaiteh, sui hoi frankinsen phawt vaiteh, BAWIPA pholennae hah a pâpho awh han.
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
7 Kebar saringnaw pueng ni nangmouh koe a kamkhueng vaiteh, Nebaioth tutannaw ni nangmae thaw a tawk awh han. Ka khoungroe dawkvah coe hane hoi luen awh vaiteh, ka bawilennae im hah ka pholen han.
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 Tâmai patetlah kamleng e naw hoi a cu nahan ka pâtam e bakhu patetlah ka kamleng e naw hateh api han namaw.
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
9 Tuilum ramnaw ni na ngaihawi awh roeroe han. BAWIPA na Cathut min hoi Isarel Tami Kathoung koevah, sui, ngun, hoi lamhlapui hoi a capanaw thokhai hanelah Tarshish longnaw hmaloe a tho han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni a pholen toe.
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.
10 Ram louk taminaw ni a kalupnae rapan hah a kangning vaiteh, a siangpahrangnaw ni hai na thaw a tawk awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lungphuen teh, ka hem awh ei, ka ngaikhai lawi na pahren toe.
Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
11 Hatdawkvah, tami ni Jentelnaw e hnopai nang koe a tho khai thai nahanlah siangpahrangnaw hai be a tho thai nahanelah, na longkhanaw pueng hah karum khodai khan mahoeh toe.
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 Na thaw ka tawk ngai hoeh e miphunnaw hoi uknaeram teh a kahma awh han. Hote miphunnaw teh ngit raphoe lah kaawm awh han.
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
13 Ka hmuen kathoung hah hawi sak hanelah, Lebanon bawilennae hah nang koe a tho awh han. Hmaica hoi sumpa thing hoi Saipres thing hah cungtalah tho awh vaiteh, ka khok toungnae hmuen hah ka bawilen sak han.
The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!
14 Nang ka rektap e capanaw hai a tabut vaiteh, nang koe a tho a han. Nang ka pacekpahlek e taminaw hai na khok rahim vah a tabo awh han. BAWIPA e khopui Isarel Tami Kathoung Zion telah ati awh han.
The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
15 Nang teh apinihai yah ceisak rumram hane, ceitakhai hane totouh hmuhma e yueng lah yungyoe kahawipoung e ase moikasaw hane lunghawinae ka tho sak han.
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
16 Jentelnaw e sanu na nei awh vaiteh, siangpahrangnaw e sanu hai na nei awh han. Kai BAWIPA ni nang teh ka rungngangkung hoi na karatangkung Jakop e tami athakaawme lah ao tie hah na panue awh han.
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
17 Rahum yueng lah sui ka thokhai han. Sum yueng lah ngun ka thokhai han. Thing yueng lah rahum ka thokhai han. Talung yueng lah sum, hnâroumnae hah na kahrawikung lah ka ta han. Lannae hah na lawkcengkung lah ka o sak han.
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
18 Na ram dawkvah, thama lah kamthang na thai mahoeh toe. Kâtheikârawngnae na ram dawk thai mahoeh toe. Hatei, na tapangnaw hah rungngangnae na ti vaiteh, na thonaw hah pholennae na ti han
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
19 Kanî hah khodai lah angnae lah awm toung laipalah, thapa ni hai angnae ang mahoeh toe. Hatei, BAWIPA hah nang hane yungyoe angnae lah awm toung vaiteh, na Cathut teh na bawilennae lah ao han.
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
20 Na kanî teh khum boi mahoeh toe. Na thapa hai kum boi mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh a yungyoe na angnae lah awm vaiteh, lungmathoenae hah a pout han.
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
21 Na taminaw koung lan awh vaiteh, ram hah yungyoe pou a pang awh han. Ka bawilennae ao thai nahan, ka kut hoi ka tawk e haiyah ka ung e cakang lah ao han.
Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
22 Ka tami kathoengcae hah 1,000 touh lah a coung vaiteh, a tha kayoun poung e hah miphun a tha kaawm poung lah a coung han. Ka BAWIPA ni atueng a kuep toteh tang ka pha sak han.
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
