Isaiah 59
1 Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, nor his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
Khenhaw! BAWIPA e kut teh rungngang thai hoeh han totouh duem hoeh. Thai thai hoeh nahan totouh a hnâpang hoeh.
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you so that he will not hear.
Hatei, namamae payonnae ni na Cathut koehoi na kapek awh teh, a thai hoeh nahanelah na hawi awh hoeh nae ni a minhmai hah nangmouh koehoi a hro toe.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.
Nangmae kut teh thi hoi thoseh, na kutdawnnaw teh yonnae hoi thoseh, na khin sak awh. Nangmouh ni pahni hoi laithoe na dei awh. Na laihoi thoenae lawk na dei awh.
4 No man sues in righteousness, and no man pleads in truth. They trust in vanity, and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Kângingnae hah apinihai tawng awh hoeh. Lawkkatang hah tarawi awh hoeh. Ayawmyin e lawk hah a kâuep awh teh, laithoe lawk doeh ouk a dei awh. Thoenae hah a vawn awh teh, payonnae hah a khe awh.
5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web. He who eats of their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
Tahrun tadui hah a awt awh teh, Bombarui hah a kawng awh. A taduinaw kacate teh a due. A tadui a kâkhei teh tahrun lah a tâco.
6 Their webs shall not become garments, nor shall they cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
A kawng awh e bombarui teh, khohna lah kangcoung pouh hoeh. A kawng awh e hni hah kâkhu awh mahoeh. A sak awh e hno hah kahawihoehe hoi a sak awh dawkvah, a kut dawk thamanae ao.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
A khoknaw teh thoenae saknae koe a yawng awh teh, yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami thipalawngnae koe a hue a rang awh. A pouknae hai kahawihoehe pouknae doeh. A ceinae lamthung hai rucatnae hoi rawknae lamthung lah doeh ao.
8 They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their goings. They have made them crooked paths. Whoever goes in it does not know peace.
Roumnae lamthung panuek awh hoeh. Ahnimae lamthung dawk kângingnae awm hoeh. A cei awh nahan lamlongkawinaw a sak awh teh, kadawnnaw pueng ni roumnae hmawt awh mahoeh.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, nor does righteousness overtake us. We look for light, but behold, darkness, for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Hatdawkvah, kângingnae teh maimouh koehoi kahlatpoung lah ao teh, lannae ni hai na phat boi awh hoeh toe. Angnae hah ka ring awh, hatei, haw vah hmonae teh ao. Ka ring awh e teh angnae eiteh, kahmawt poung e koe doeh cei awh.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind. Yea, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight. We are as dead men in desolate places.
Mit ka dawn e patetlah tapang thupthup payam awh teh, mit ka tawn hoeh e patetlah pou payam awh. Tangmin e patetlah kanîthun hai kamthui awh teh, ka rawp awh. Thaonae koe teh tami kadout patetlah doeh ka o awh toe.
11 We all roar like bears, and moan greatly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Tavom patetlah ka hram awh teh, bakhu patetlah ka cingou awh. Kângingnae ka tawng awh ei, pâphawng awh hoeh toe. Rungngangnae ngaihawi awh ei, maimouh koehoi ahla poung toe.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk eknae teh a hmaitung vah hoehoe apap. Ka yonae ni kamamouh koelah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Ka payon awh e pueng kamamouh koe ao teh, sakpayon e pueng hai kamamouh ni ka panue awh.
13 transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Kâtapoenae, laithoe lahoi BAWIPA tarannae, Cathut hnamthun takhai e, repcoungroenae, taranthawnae lawk deinae, ka vawn awh teh, lungthin thung hoi laithoe lawk dei awh.
14 And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off. For truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
Kalan lah lawkcengnae ni hnam na thun takhai teh, kângingnae ni kahlatpoung e hmuen koe a kangdue. Lawkkatang teh lam dawk a rawp teh, lannae kâen thai hoeh.
15 Yea, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
Lawkkatang teh a rawk toe. Thoenae ka roun e tami hah hnopainaw a lawp awh toe. BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu teh, kângingnae ao hoeh toung dawkvah, a maithoe.
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him. And his righteousness, it upheld him.
Tami awm hoeh tie a hmu navah, ka kâhet pouh e awm hoeh tie hah kângai lah a ru. Hatdawkvah, a kut hoi roeroe rungngangnae letlang a sak teh, amae lannae lahoi letlang a kangdue sak.
17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head. And he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
Lannae hah bahling lah a patuep teh rungngangnae hah sumluhuem lah a kâmuk. Moipathungnae hoi a kamthoup teh, lungthahmeinae angkidung hah a kho.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies. He will repay recompense to the islands.
A tawk a sak awh e patetlah aphu a hmu awh han. Ama ka taran e naw koe a lungkhueknae hah tarannaw ni khang han a kamcu e patetlah moi a pathung awh han.
19 So they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. For he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah drives.
BAWIPA e min teh kanîloumlah hoi a taki awh vaiteh, a bawilennae hah kanîtho lahoi a taki awh han. Tarannaw teh tuikalen patetlah a tho navah, BAWIPA e Muitha ni ama hoi kâtaran lah a ngang han.
20 And he who redeems will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah.
Zion vah ka ratangkung, Jakop kâtapoenae kamlang takhai naw koe a tho han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says Jehovah: My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, says Jehovah, from henceforth and forever.
Het hah doeh, ahnimouh hoi kaie lawkkam e teh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Na lathueng kaawm e ka Muitha hoi na pahni dawk ka hruek e ka lawk ni, na pahni thoseh, na catounnaw e pahni thoseh, na catounnaw e pahni thoseh, atu hoi a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh tâcawt takhai mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
