Isaiah 43
1 Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!
Hatei, atuteh Oe Jakop nangmouh kasakkung hoi, Oe Isarel nangmouh kapâkhuengkung Jehovah ni telah ati, taket awh hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh na ratang awh toe, na min lahoi na kaw awh teh kaie lah doeh na o awh toe.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Tui na raka awh nahaiyah nangmouh koe ka o vaiteh, tuipui na raka nahai na pâyawt awh mahoeh. Hmai dawk na cei awh nakunghai na kang awh mahoeh. Hmaipalai ni hai na kang awh mahoeh.
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae Jehovah na Cathut, Isarel Tami Kathoung, nangmouh ka rungngangkung doeh. Nangmouh ratang hanelah, Izipnaw koe na poe teh, Ethiopia hoi Sheba nangmae yueng lah ka poe.
4 Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.
Ka mithmu vah ka talue poung e lah na o awh teh, bari kawi e lah na o awh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh na ban thai awh nahanelah tami na poe vaiteh, na hringnae kâthung nahanelah tamihu na poe han.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
Taket awh hanh, nangmouh koe ka o, na catounnaw hah kanîtho koehoi ka thokhai vaiteh, kanîloumlah hoi ka pâkhueng han.
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—
Atunglah pou thak awh ka ti vaiteh, akalah katek awh hanh lawih telah ka ti pouh han. Ka capa hah ahlapoungnae koehoi thokhai awh, ka canu hah talai poutnae koehoi thokhai awh.
7 everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”
Ka min lahoi ka kaw e tami pueng hoi, ka lentoe nahanelah ka sak e tamipueng teh thokhai awh haw telah ka ti han.
8 Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.
Mit tawn eiteh mitdawnnaw hoi hnâ tawn eiteh hnâpangnaw kai koe thokhai awh.
9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
Miphun pueng hoi tamimaya hmuen touh koe kamkhueng awh naseh. Ahnimouh thung dawk apinimaw a pâpho thai teh, ayan e hno hah a hmu sak thai han. Lan sak lah o thai nahanelah, kapanuekkhaikung hah thokhai awh naseh. Telah hoeh nakunghai hnâ hoi thai awh nateh, hethateh lawkkatang doeh tet awh naseh.
10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.
Na panue awh teh na yuem thai awh nahanelah, kai teh ahni doeh tie na panue thai awh nahanelah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung hoi ka rawi e ka sannaw doeh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ka hmalah sak e thung dawk bangpatet e cathut hai awm hoeh, ka hnuk lahai awm mahoeh.
11 I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.
Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai laipateh rungngangkung alouke awm hoeh.
12 I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
Kama ni ka dei teh ka rungngang, na panue sak dawk nangmouh rahak cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Kai teh Cathut doeh.
13 Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Ahnintha ao hoehnahlan kai teh ahni doeh. Ka kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thaikung apihai awm hoeh. Ka sak hnukkhu apinimaw a rakhout thai han.
14 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
Isarelnaw e Kathoung Poung, nangmouh karatangkung BAWIPA ni telah a dei, nangmouh kecu dawk Babilon kho dawk ransa ka patoun, hottelah abuemlah hoi Khaldean taminaw, a lunghawinae long dawk kayawngnaw a ceikhai e patetlah na ceikhai awh.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”
Kai teh, Jehovah, nangmae Tami Kathoung, Isarel kasakkung, nangmae siangpahrang doeh.
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,
Tuipui dawk lamthung ka sak niteh, athakaawme tuinaw dawk lamthung ka sak e,
17 who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
athakaawme tami, rangleng hoi marangnaw ka cetkhai niteh, bout thaw thai hoeh nahanelah karawmsakkung, hmaiim padue e patetlah karoumsakkung BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.
hnuk lae naw bout pouk hanh lawih, ayan e naw na lungthin dawk tat awh hanh leih.
19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Thai awh haw, hno katha ka sak han. Atu roeroe kamnue han. Nangmouh ni na panue katang han. Ramke lam ka sak vaiteh, thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak han.
20 The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.
Kahrawng e sarang, kahrawnguinaw, hoi kalaukva ni kai na bari han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rawi e taminaw ni a nei awh hane ramke vah tui ka poe teh thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak.
21 The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.
Kama hanelah ka pâkhueng e taminaw ni ka pholennae a kamnue sak awh han.
22 But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.
Hateiteh Oe Jakop, nangmouh ni na kaw awh hoeh. Oe Isarel, nangmouh ni kai na hmawtcei awh.
23 You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
Hmaisawi thuengnae tu hah kai koe na thokhai awh hoeh. Thuengnae lahoi kai na pholen awh hoeh. Hnopoenae lahoi hnori na phawt sak boihoeh. Hmuitui hoi nangmanaw tha na tawn sak boihoeh.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Hmuitui kacinge hah tangka hoi na ran pouh boihoeh, thuengnae sathei thaw hoi kai ka lung na kuep sak boihoeh. Yonnae phu phu hanelah thaw letlang na tawk sak, lam vah thoesaknae lahoi kai letlang na tawn sak awh.
25 I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.
Kai kama roeroe ni doeh kama hanelah nangmae kâ na tapoenae naw na takhoe pouh. Nangmae yonnae ka pouk mahoeh toe.
26 Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.
Na kapanuekkhaikung, pouk awh haw sei. Na lan awh nahanelah, na lawk dei awh haw.
27 Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.
Hmaloe e na pa ni, yon a sak teh, laiceinaw ni kâtapoe laihoi kai na taran awh.
28 So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”
Hatdawkvah, hmuen kathoung koe e kacuenaw, kakhin sak han, Jakop hah thoebo hanelah ka poe vaiteh, Isarelnaw pacekpahleknae khang hanelah ka pahnawt toe.
