Isaiah 66
1 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kalvan teh ka tahungnae bawitungkhung lah ao teh, talai teh ka khoktoungnae lah ao. Namaw im na sak pouh awh han. Namaw ka kâhatnae hmuen ao han.
Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hnocawngca pueng teh, ka kut hoi ka sak teh, kaawmnaw doeh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hateiteh, ka roedeng naw hoi muitha hoi pankângai e tami, ka lawk dawk ka pâyaw e tami hah ka khet han.
My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
3 Maitotan ka thet e tami teh, tami ka thet e patetlah ao han. Tuca hoi thuengnae ka sak e tami teh, ui lahuen ka khoe e patetlah ao han. Tavai ka poe e tami teh, vok thi ka poe e patetlah ao han. Hmuitui ka thueng e tami teh, meikaphawk yawhawi ka poe e patetlah ao han. Mahoima lamthung ka kârawi e tami teh, panuettho e hno dawk a lungkahawi e patetlah ao han.
He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
4 Hottelah amahoima ka kâdum e hah ka rawi han. A taki e hno hah ahnimae lathueng ka pha sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka kaw nah apinihai na pato hoeh. Lawk ka dei teh thai awh hoeh. Hateiteh, ka mithmu vah, yonnae a sak awh teh, ka lunghawihoehnae hno hah a kârawi awh.
Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
5 A lawk dawk ka pâyaw e naw, BAWIPA lawk thai awh haw. Nang ka hmuhma e na hmaunawngha, ka min kecu dawk nangmouh kahreknaw ni, na lunghawinae ka hmu thai awh nahanelah, BAWIPA teh pholennae awm seh telah ati awh, hateiteh a kaya awh han.
Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
6 Khopui dawk hoi ruengruengtinae, Bawkim dawk hoi hramnae pawlawk, BAWIPA hramnae pawlawk, a tarannaw kakueplah moi a pathungnae pawlawk teh thai awh haw.
A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 A pataw hoehnahlan a khe teh, von a pataw hoehnahlan camo a khe.
Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
8 Hot patet e teh apinimaw a thai boi. Hot patet e teh apinimaw a hmu boi. Hnin touh dawk hoi ram hah khe thai han na maw. Vaitalahoi miphun a tâco thai han na maw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Zion ni a pataw tahma nah camo tang a khe.
Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
9 Khenae tueng dawk tâcawt sak laipalah, ka o han na maw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ca khesakkung ni ca tawn sak hanelah pasoung laipalah ka o han maw, telah Cathut ni a ti.
Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
10 Jerusalem ka lungpataw pueng, Jerusalem teh konawm khai awh. Ama kakhuinaw a ma lunghawikhai nateh konawm awh.
Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
11 Hottelah na teh awh pawiteh, ahnie sanu na net awh vaiteh na boum awh han. Ahnie tawnta e thung hoi rasat vaiteh, na nawm awh han.
That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
12 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, roumnae palang patetlah thoseh, Jentelnaw e tawnta e teh ka lawng e tuiphuek tui patetlah thoseh, Jerusalem vah ka pha sak han. Nangmouh teh sanutui na net awh vaiteh, keng dawk tawmnae, khokpakhu dawk tawmnae hah na coe awh han.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.
13 A manu ni a ca lung a mawng sak e patetlah nangmouh lung ka mawng sak han. Jerusalem khopui dawk lung na mawng sak awh han.
As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Hote na hmu awh toteh, na lung ahawi awh han. Na hrunaw hah ka hringsuep e thingkung patetlah a thao awh han. BAWIPA e a kut hnotithainae teh sannaw koe thoseh, a lungkhueknae teh a tarannaw koe a kamnue han.
You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
15 Khenhaw! a lungphuennae ka patawpoung lah a kamnue nahane hoi, na yuenae hmaisaan patetlah a kamnue nahanelah, BAWIPA teh hmai rangleng hoi bongparui patetlah a tho han.
For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmai hoi tahloi hoi, BAWIPA ni takthai hoi kahringnaw pueng lawk a ceng han. BAWIPA ni a thei e teh a pap poung han.
For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 Mahoima kâthoung sak hane hoi, mahoima kâkapek hanelah, takha koe kacetnaw, meikaphawknaw rahak vah, pou ka cet e, vokmoi hoi panuettho e moihnam moi ka cat e naw pueng cungtalah he a kahma awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak awh e hoi a pouk awh e ka panue, miphun tangkuem hoi lawk phunkuep tangkuem hah, ka pâkhuengnae tueng a pha han. Tho awh vaiteh ka bawilennae hah a hmu awh han.
But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
19 Ahnimouh koe kamnuenae hah ka o sak han. Hahoi teh, ahnimouh rahak vah, rektapnae koehoi ka hlout e ka miphun tangkuem koe, Tarshish, Pul, licung longkawi e Lud, Tubal hoi Javan, ka min kamthangnae ka panuek boihoeh e naw koe, tuipui namran ahlanae koe ka thak han. Hottelah, Jentelnaw koe ka bawilennae a pâpho awh han.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
20 Hahoi Isarelnaw ni, kathounge hlaam hah thueng e hno lah BAWIPA e im dawk ouk a thokhai e patetlah miphunnaw pueng thung dawk hai na hmaunawnghanaw hah marang dawk hoi thoseh, leng dawk hoi thoseh, kâkayawt e van hoi thoseh, la dawk hoi thoseh, kalauk dawk hoi thoseh, Jerusalem mon kathoung dawk BAWIPA koe ouk a thueng awh e patetlah a thokhai awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Hotnaw thung dawk hoi tami tangawn vaihma hoi Levihnaw hanelah ka la han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan katha hoi talai katha ka sak hane teh, ka hmalah ka kangning hane patetlah, na catounnaw hoi na min a kangning han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
23 Hahoi teh, hettelah han. Thapa a reinae koehoi bout a rei katha totouh, sabbath hnin hoi alouke sabbath hnin totouh moithangnaw pueng Kai bawk hanelah ka hmalah a tho awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
24 Tâcawt awh vaiteh, kai taranlahoi kâ kaeknaw e ro hah a khet awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, pâri hai dout thai hoeh ni teh hmai hai roum thai mahoeh. Tami pueng hanelah teh panuet a tho han.
And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
