Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
Khenhaw! kai ni ka tawm e ka san, ka lungkuepkhai teh, ka rawi e san doeh. Ka Muitha hah ahni van ka patue han. Ahni ni lannae hah miphunnaw koe a thokhai han.
2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
Ahni teh, hramki mahoeh. Oung mahoeh. Ahnie lawk hai lamthung dawk apinihai thai mahoeh.
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth.
Coungroe e lungpum hah khoe hoeh, hmai ka tawk e hmaiim hah padout hoeh. Lannae hah yuemkamcunae hoi a thokhai han.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.
Talaivan vah lannae phung a kangdue sak hoehroukrak, a thayoun mahoeh, a lungpout mahoeh. Ahlanae koe kaawmnaw ni hai ahnie kâlawk hah a ngaihawi awh han.
5 Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk in it,
Kalvan ka sak niteh, talai hoi talai thung kaawm e pueng ka sak e, talai van kaawm e naw hah kâha hai thoseh, talai van lam kacetnaw hah muitha hai thoseh, ka poe e, Cathut Jehovah ni a dei e teh,
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,
kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai ni nang hah lannae lahoi na kaw vaiteh, na kut dawk hoi na hrawi han.
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
Nang ni mit ka dawnnaw e mit na hmu sak thai nahane hoi, paung lah kaawm e naw hah thongim thung hoi thoseh, hmonae koe ka tahung e naw hah hmonae thongim thung hoi thoseh, rasa tâcokhai hanelah, taminaw hoi lawkkam e lah thoseh, miphunnaw hanelah angnae lah thoseh, nang hah kai ni na ta toe.
8 I am Jehovah. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven images.
Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Hothateh, kaie ka min doeh. Kai bawilennae hah apihai thoseh, kai ni ka coe e pholennae hah meikaphawknaw hai thoseh, ka poe hoeh.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and I declare new things. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Yampa e hnonaw teh a loum toe. A katha e hnonaw hah atu ka pâpho. Hotnaw a tâco hoehnahlan vah, nangmouh sut na thai sak.
10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Tui dawk ka cet kaawm e naw hoi ahlanae koe ramlouk lah kaawm e naw, BAWIPA koe la katha sak awh. Ahni hah talai apoutnae koehoi pholen awh.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Kahrawngum hoi hot thung e kho kaawm e pueng, hoi Kedar kho kaawm e taminaw pueng ni pholen awh naseh. Sela kaawm e naw pueng ni monsom vah hram laihoi lunghawi laihoi la sak awh naseh.
12 Let them give glory to Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnue sak laihoi, tuilum apoutnae koe a lungmanae teh pholen awh.
13 Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man. He will stir up his zeal like a man of war. He will cry, yea, he will shout aloud. He will do mightily against his enemies.
BAWIPA teh athakaawme tami patetlah a tâco teh, ransa patetlah a taran ahawi. Tânae hoi a hram teh, a tarannaw hah a tâ.
14 I have for a long time held my peace. I have been still, and refrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will gasp and pant together.
Kai teh atueng kasawlah duem ka o. Kai teh duem ka o teh, ka taminaw hah ka pato hoeh. Atuteh, camo ka khe e napui patetlah kahram han. Hongho hongho kâha vaiteh, ngawt ka tawn han.
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Monnaw hoi monruinaw ka raphoe han. Thingkung ramkungnaw puenghai ka ke sak han. Tuipuinaw hai tuilumnaw lah kacoungsak vaiteh, talînaw pueng hai kahaksak han.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
Mit kadawnnaw hah a panue awh hoeh e lam dawk hoi ka thak vaiteh, a panue awh hoeh e lamthung dawk lam ka patue han. Ahnimae hmalah hmonae hah angnae lah kacoungsak han. Lamthung tangkomnaw hah, ka kânging sak han. Hetnaw hah ka sak vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah ka hnoun mahoeh.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, Ye are our gods.
Meikaphawk ka bawk awh niteh, meikaphawk hanelah, nang teh kaimae cathutnaw doeh katetenaw teh puenghoi kayak awh vaiteh, hnuklah a kamlang awh han.
18 Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Hnâpangnaw thai awh haw. Mitdawnnaw, na hmu thai nahanelah khenhaw.
19 Who is blind, but my servant, or deaf, as my messenger that I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?
Kaie ka san hloilah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. Ka patoun e laiceinaw patetlah apimouh a hnâ ka pang va. Kaie ka hui patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. BAWIPA e san patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va.
20 Thou see many things, but thou do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not hear.
Ahni ni moikapap a hmu eiteh, kâhruetcuet thai hoeh. A hnâkâko eiteh thai thai hoeh.
21 It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
BAWIPA teh amae kâlawk rasangsak hane hoi a lentoesak hanelah, amae lannae dawk a lungyouk.
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered. They are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses. They are for a prey, and none delivers, for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
Hete miphun teh, tuk e hoi lawp e miphun lah doeh ao. Ahnimouh teh, tangkom dawk tangkam a kâman awh teh, thongim dawk hro e lah ao awh. Kahloutsakkung kaawm hoeh e lawp e lah ao awh. Tuk teh lawp lah ao awh navah, na poe leih telah ka tet hane awm hoeh.
23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Nangmouh thung dawk apinang mouh hete lawk hah na ka thai awh han va. Atu hoi hmalah te, apinang mouh na ka thai awh han.
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, nor were they obedient to his law.
Jakop teh tuk e hoi lawp e lah thoseh, Isarel hah kalawmkungnaw koe thoseh, apimouh ka hnawng va. Maimouh ni taran awh teh, ahni koe yonnae sak awh e BAWIPA ni nahoehmaw. Ahnimouh teh Bawipa e lamthung dawn awh hoeh. Bawipa e kâlawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
25 Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle. And it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not. And it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Hatdawkvah, puenghoi a lungkhueknae teh, ahnimouh lathueng a rabawk teh, takikatho e tarankâtuknae hah ahnimouh koe a pha sak. Ahnimouh tengpam vah hmai a sawi. Hateiteh, panuek awh hoeh. Amamouh hoi amamouh a kak awh. Hatei, pâkuem awh hoeh.
