Isaiah 46
1 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
Bel ni a lû a saling teh, Nebo a kârahnoum sak. Ahnimae meikaphawknaw teh, a khok pali touh e saring e van doeh a hung awh. Na phu rumram hanelah doeh sak e lah ao teh, saringnaw ni nget ka tâwn lah a phu awh.
2 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
A kârahnoum awh teh, rei a rawp awh. Amamae hnokari kârungngang thai awh hoeh. Amamanaw san lah letlang a ceikhai awh.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
Oe Jakop imthungnaw ka lawk thai awh haw. Ka cawi rae imthungnaw, pek na khe hoi vonthung na o na hoi doeh kai ni na tawm toe.
4 Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
Na matawng totouh hai na sam a po ditouh, kai teh hot patetlah e tami lah ka o teh, nangmanaw na tawm awh han, na sak awh e patetlah na ring awh vaiteh, na rungngang awh han.
5 To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
Nangmouh ni api hoi maw na mei na kâla sak awh han. Api hoi maw na kâvan sak awh teh, api hoi maw na bangnue awh han.
6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
Yawngya thung hoi sui moikapap rasa e patetlah ngun hai yawcu dawk a khing, sum kahlun e koe meikaphawk lah na sak sak awh teh, na tabo sin awh teh na bawk awh.
7 They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
A loung dawk a hrawm awh teh, a ceikhai awh teh, amae hmuen dawk ouk a pâhung awh. Pou a kangdue teh, a onae hmuen koehoi kampuen mahoeh toe. A kaw awh nakunghai lawk dei pouh thai mahoeh. A rucatnae koehoi hai rungngang thai mahoeh.
8 Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
Oe lawk kaeknaw, hetheh pahnim awh hanh. Tongpa katang lah awm awh nateh, bout pouk awh.
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
Ayan e hno hah pahnim hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kai teh na Cathut lah ka o teh, kai hloilah Cathut alouke awm hoeh. Kai hoi kâvan e awm hoeh.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
Kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh thoseh, ayan hoi kaawm rah boihoeh e hnonaw thoseh, ka dei teh ka pouknae a kuep han, ka ngai e pueng be ka sak han telah a ti.
11 I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.
Kanîtholah hoi e ka matheng e tava, ahlanae hmuen koehoi ka pouk e hah ka kaw, yo ka dei e patetlah ka sak han.
12 Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
Lannae hoi ahla poungnae koe kaawmnaw ka lawk thai awh haw.
13 I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
Kahnaicalah lannae ka thokhai han. Ahla poungnae koe kaawm mahoeh. Rungngangnae, lungmanae nihai, na ring mahoeh. Zion vah rungngangnae ka ta vaiteh, ka bawilennae Isarel hanelah ka hruek han.
