Isaiah 62
1 Zion khopui tie Jerusalem khopui e lannae hah angnae patetlah rungngangnae hah ka ang e hmaiim patetlah a kamnue hoehroukrak kai teh duem kaawm mahoeh.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 Jentelnaw ni a lannae a hmu vaiteh, siangpahrangnaw ni na bawilennae a hmu awh han. BAWIPA pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e min katha lahoi nang na kaw awh han.
The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
3 BAWIPA kut dawk e bawilennae bawilukhung hoi na Cathut kut dawk e bawinaw e bawilukhung lah na o han.
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 Nang teh pahnawt e tami tet mahoeh toe. Na ram hai tami kingdinae telah tet mahoeh toe. Hatei, ngai kaawm e telah ati awh vaiteh, BAWIPA teh nangmouh dawk a lunghawi vaiteh, na ram hai vâ a tawn han toe.
And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 Thoundoun ni tanglakacuem a paluen e patetlah na capanaw ni a yu lah a paluen han. Yu ka paluen e thoundoun ni a ham e tanglakacuem dawk a lunghawi e patetlah na Cathut hai nang dawk a lunghawi han.
For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Oe, Jerusalem, rapan kalupnae hah ramvengnaw ka ring sak teh, karum khodai nâtuek hai duem awm awh mahoeh.
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on YHWH, take no rest,
7 Jerusalem kho a caksak teh, pholennae lah ao hoehnahlan totouh BAWIPA hah duem kâhat sak awh hanh.
and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 BAWIPA ni a rang lae kut a tha kaawm pounge a kutbuembue noe lahoi, lawk a kam teh, na tarannaw koe nangmae na tawk tangcoung e misurtui net awh mahoeh toe.
YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
9 Hatei, katawkkungnaw ni a ca awh vaiteh, BAWIPA hah a pholen awh han. Cungtalah ka thokhai e naw ni, ka hmuen kathoung thongma dawk misurtui a nei awh han.
but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
10 Longkha dawk hoi tâcawt awh, tâcawt awh. Taminaw cei nahan lam rakueng awh. Talai paten awh. Talungnaw takhoe awh. Taminaw hanelah mitnoutnae vo awh.
Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 BAWIPA ni talai apout totouh hanelah a pâpho toe. Zion canu koe hettelah dei pouh awh. Rungngangnae teh a pha roeroe han. Khenhaw! tawkphu teh ama koe ao teh, a sak e hai a hmalah ao.
Look, YHWH has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
12 Ahnimanaw teh BAWIPA ni ratang e tami, kathounge taminaw, ati awh han. Nang teh pâphawng e, ceitakhai hoeh e khopui ati awh han telah a ti.
They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
