< Isaiah 65 >

1 Kai na ka pacei hoeh naw e lawk ka thai pouh teh, Kai na ka tawng hoeh e ni na hmu awh toe. Kai hah na khen awh haw, na khenhaw! telah ka min ka kaw hoeh e miphunnaw koe ka dei pouh toe.
I have heard those that made no supplication; I have been found by those who sought me not; I said, Here I am, here I am, To a people that called not upon my name.
2 Amamouh ngai patetlah kahawihoehe lam ka dawn niteh, kangek e miphunnaw koelah, kanîruirui ka kut kadai pouh han.
I have spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
3 Takha dawk thuengnae a sak awh teh, amhru van hmuitui hmai a sawi awh teh, ka lungkhuek nahanlah ka hmalah pou a sak awh.
To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
4 Phuen dawk ka tahung niteh, arulae hmuen koe ka roe e, vokmoi ka cat ni teh panuettho e moi hang ka pahrap e ni,
That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swine's flesh, And have broth of unclean things in their vessels;
5 Nama dueng awm haw. Kai koe hnai hanh, nang hlak bet ka thounghnawn ouk ati. Hot patet e taminaw teh, ka hnawng dawk e hmaikhu hoi pou ka kang e hmai patetlah doeh ao awh.
Who yet say: Stand by thyself! come not near to me, For I am holier than thou! These are a smoke in my nose, A fire that burneth continually.
6 Ka hmalah thut lah ao dawkvah, duem kaawm mahoeh, moi ka pathung han. Bokheiyah, na lungtabue dawk na payonnae hoi na mintoenaw e payonnae teh moi ka pathung van han telah BAWIPA ni ati
Behold, it stands recorded before me; I will not keep silence, but will requite; I will requite it into their bosoms;
7 Ahnimouh ni teh, mon kalennaw dawk hmuitui hmai a sawi awh teh, monruinaw dawk ka min a dudam awh. Hatdawkvah, hmaloe a sak awh e hah poe hanelah lungtabue dawk ka bangnue han.
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, Who burnt incense on the mountains, And dishonored me on the hills, I will pour the full recompense of their former deeds into their bosom.
8 BAWIPA ni bout a dei e teh, misurbom dawk misurtui katha hmu toteh, raphoe hanh, yawhawinae ao ouk ati awh e patetlah ka sannaw hane dawkvah, hottelah ka raphoe mahoeh.
Thus saith Jehovah: As when juice is found in a cluster, Men say, “Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it”; So will I do, for the sake of my servants, and will not destroy the whole;
9 Jakop catoun thung hoi cati buet touh hai thoseh, Judah catoun thung hoi ka monnaw râw lah ka coe hane thoseh, ka tâco sak han. Kai ni ka rawi e naw ni ram hah râw lah a coe vaiteh, ka sannaw ni kho a sak nah awh han.
I will cause a stem to spring forth from Jacob, And from Judah a possessor of my mountains; My chosen shall possess the land, And my servants shall dwell there.
10 Kai na ka tawng e taminaw hanelah, Sharon teh tutakha lah ao han. Akhor yawn hai maitohu roenae hmuen lah ao han.
And Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting-place for herds, For my people that have sought me.
11 Nang teh BAWIPA ka pahnawt e, kaie kathounge mon ka pahnim e, Gad cathut hanelah caboi ka phai pouh e, Meni cathut hanelah kalawt tangcoung e misur ka awi e tami lah na o awh.
But ye, who have forsaken Jehovah, And have forgotten my holy mountain, That prepare a table for Fortune, And fill the cup for Destiny,
12 Nangmouh teh, na parei vaiteh, tahloi koe na poe awh han. Abuemlahoi na due awh nahanlah na tabut awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh kai ni na kaw awh navah na pato awh hoeh. Ka dei navah, na thai awh hoeh. Ka hmaitung vah kathout hno na sak awh toe. Ka ngaihoeh e hno hah na rawi awh.
Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no delight.
13 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, ka sannaw ni a ca awh han. Nangmouh teh na vonhlam awh han. Ka sannaw ni a nei awh han. Nangmouh teh tui na kahran awh han. Ka sannaw ni a konawm awh han. Nangmouh teh na kaya awh han.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
14 Ka sannaw ni lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh han. Nangmouh teh lungmathoe laihoi na ka awh han. Muitha lungmathoe laihoi na cingou awh han.
Behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of spirit.
15 Nangmouh teh ka rawi e taminaw koe na min thoebo hanelah na ceitakhai awh han. Bawipa Jehovah ni nang hah na thet vaiteh, a sannaw hah min louk hoi a kaw han.
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, And the Lord Jehovah shall slay you; But his servants will he call by another name.
16 Talaivan vah mahoima yawhawi ka poe e teh, yuemkamcu e Cathut kâuep laihoi yawhawi a poe han. Talaivan thoe ka bo e teh, Cathut noe laihoi thoe a bo han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahmaloe e naw hah pahnim toe. Ka hmaitung vah a kahma toe.
Whoso blesseth himself in the land Shall bless by the true God; And he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the true God; For the former troubles are forgotten, And they are hid from mine eyes.
17 Khenhaw! Kalvan katha hoi talai katha hah ka sak. Ahmaloe e kalvan hoi talai hah pouk mahoeh, pâkuem mahoeh toe.
For behold! I create new heavens, and a new earth; The former ones shall not be remembered, Nor shall they be brought to mind any more.
18 Ka sak e hno dawkvah, a yungyoe lunghawi awh nateh, konawm awh. Jerusalem dawk ka konawmnae lah khocanaw dawk ka lunghawinae lah ka sak han.
But ye shall be glad and exult forever In that which I create; For behold! I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 Kai hai Jerusalem kho kecu dawk ka konawm han. Ka taminaw kecu dawk ka lunghawi han. Hote kho dawk khuika lawk hoi hramki lawk bout thai mahoeh toe.
And I will exult in Jerusalem, And rejoice in my people; No more shall be heard therein The voice of weeping and the cry of distress.
20 Hote kho dawk a kum kanaw e awm mahoeh. A kum kakuep hoeh e matawng hai awm mahoeh. A kum 100 touh a pha nah kadout e hah camo telah pouk han. Ka yon e tami teh a kum 100 touh a pha nah dout pawiteh, thoebo e tami telah pouk han.
There shall not be there an infant child, nor an old man, That hath not filled the measure of his years; For he that dieth a hundred years old shall die a youth, And the sinner dying a hundred years old shall be held accursed.
21 Ahnimouh teh ma ni sak e im dawk ao awh han. Ma ni patue e misur paw a ca awh han.
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them;
22 Ahnimouh teh ma ni sak e im hah alouke ni awm nah awh mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh misur a patue e hah alouke ni cat mahoeh. Ka taminaw e hringnae teh thingkung se patetlah a saw vaiteh, ahnimouh teh ma ni sak e hno hah moikasawlah a hno awh han.
They shall not build, and another inhabit; They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, Yea, long shall my chosen enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Ka rawi e naw teh, ayawmyin lah tawk awh mahoeh. A kum kaduem e capa khe awh mahoeh. Ma koehoi kamtawng teh, catounnaw teh, BAWIPA ni poe e yawhawinae ka pang e tami lah ao awh han.
They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for early death; For they are a race blessed by Jehovah, And their offspring shall remain to them.
24 Ahnimouh ni na kaw hoehnahlan ka pato han. A dei awh lahun nah ka thai pouh han.
Before they call, I will answer; And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Asui hoi tuca teh cungtalah rei a pai han toe. Sendek ni maito patetlah hram a ca han. Tahrun teh vaiphu a ca han toe. Kaie mon kathoung pueng dawk buet touh hoi buet touh pacekpahleknae, kâraphoenae awm mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt, nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, Saith Jehovah.
