< 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 Jehovah: Heaven is my throne, And the earth my footstool; Where is the house that ye can build me, And where is the 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.
For all these things hath my hand made; By it do all these things exist, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look, Even to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, And who trembleth at my word.
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 slayeth an ox killeth a man; He that sacrificeth a lamb beheadeth a dog; He that maketh an oblation offereth swine's blood; He that burneth incense blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, And in their abominations their souls delight.
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.
I also will choose their calamities; What they dread I will bring upon them; Because I called, and no one answered, I spake, and they did not hear; But they did what is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I have no delight.
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 Jehovah, Ye that tremble at his word! “Your brethren that hate you, And thrust you out for my name's sake, have said, “May Jehovah be glorified, that we may see 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 tumult from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of Jehovah, rendering recompense to his enemies!
7 A pataw hoehnahlan a khe teh, von a pataw hoehnahlan camo a khe.
Before she was in travail, she brought forth, Before her pangs came, she was delivered of a son.
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 heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Is a country brought forth in a day? Is a nation born at once? For as soon as Zion was in travail, she 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 I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth, saith Jehovah; Shall I, who beget, restrain the birth? saith thy God.
10 Jerusalem ka lungpataw pueng, Jerusalem teh konawm khai awh. Ama kakhuinaw a ma lunghawikhai nateh konawm awh.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And exult for her, all ye that love her! Be very joyful with her, all ye 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 ye may suck, and be satisfied, from the breast of her consolations, That ye may suck and be delighted with the fulness 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 Jehovah: Behold, I will bring prosperity to her like a river, And the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; Ye shall suck at the breast, Ye shall be carried on the arm, And on the knees shall ye be dandled.
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 his mother comforteth, So will I comfort you; And in Jerusalem shall ye be comforted.
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.
Ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, And your bones shall flourish like a green plant, And the hand of Jehovah shall be manifested to his servants, And be moved with indignation against 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, Jehovah cometh with fire, Like a whirlwind are his chariots, To breathe forth his anger in a glowing heat, And his rebuke in 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 with fire will Jehovah contend, And with his sword, with all flesh, And many shall be the slain of Jehovah.
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 who sanctify and purify themselves in the groves, Following one in the midst, Who eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse. They shall all perish together, saith Jehovah.
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.
For I know their works, and their thoughts; The time cometh to gather all nations and tongues together; They shall come, and behold 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 give a sign among them, And of those that escape I will send to the nations, To Tarshish, Phul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, To the distant coasts, who never heard my name, And who never saw my glory; And they shall declare my glory among the nations.
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 From all the nations, an offering to Jehovah, Upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules and dromedaries, To my holy mountain, Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring their gifts In pure vessels to the house of Jehovah.
21 Hotnaw thung dawk hoi tami tangawn vaihma hoi Levihnaw hanelah ka la han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And of them will I also take For priests and for Levites, saith Jehovah.
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 make, Endure before me, saith Jehovah, So shall your race and your name endure.
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 it shall be, from new moon to new moon, And from sabbath to sabbath, That all flesh shall come and worship before me, saith Jehovah.
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.
Then shall they go forth and see The dead bodies of the men that rebelled against me! For their worm shall not die, And their fire shall not be quenched, And they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
