Isaiah 49
1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
Sanglak rhoek loh kamah taengkah he hnatun uh saeh lamtah khohla lamkah namtu rhoek loh hnatung uh saeh. BOEIPA loh kai he bungko khuiah ng'khue coeng tih a nu bung khuiah ni ka ming a sum coeng.
2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.
Ka ka he cunghang haat bangla a khueh tih a kut dongkah hlipkhup ah kai n'thuh. Kai he thaltang la n'khueh tih amah kah liva dongah a meet tangtae la kai n'thuh.
3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
Kai taengah tah, “Kamah kah sal tah Israel nang, namah dongah ni ka ko ka hang eh.
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”
Tedae kai loh a poeyoek la ka ti coeng. A hinghong la ka kohnue tih ka thadueng khaw a honghi coeng. Ka tiktamnah he BOEIPA taengah, ka thaphu te ka Pathen taengah ka bawt.
5 And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—
Bungko khui lamloh amah kah sal la kai aka hlinsai BOEIPA loh Jakob te amah taengla mael sak ham neh Israel te amah taengla coi ham te a thui coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka thangpom uh tih ka Pathen tah ka sarhi la om.
6 He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”
Jakob koca te thoh ham neh Israel a kueinah tih mael puei ham khaw kamah kah sal la na om te rhaemaih. Nang tah diklai khobawt duela kamah kah khangnah a om sak ham neh namtom rhoek kah vangnah la kang khueh ni,” a ti.
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
Israel aka tlan tih anih kah a cim Yahovah loh hinglu kah a hnaep taengah, namtom kah a tuei taengah, aka taemrhai rhoek kah sal taengah, “Manghai rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah mangpa rhoek khaw thoo uh vetih a bawk uh bitni. Israel kah a cim BOEIPA tah a uepom dongah ni nang n'coelh.
8 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
BOEIPA loh, “Kolonah tue vaengah nang kan doo tih khangnah khohnin ah nang kan bom. Nang te kang kueinah vetih aka pong tangtae khohmuen aka thoh ham neh rho aka pang pilnam patai la nang te kang khueh ni.
9 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.
Amih hmaisuep ah a khih rhoek te, ‘Ha pawk uh lamtah ha mop uh,’ ti nah. Longpuei ah luem uh vetih caphoei cuk boeih te amih kah rhamtlim la poeh ni.
10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
Lamlum uh pawt vetih halthi uh mahpawh. Amih te unghae neh khomik loh do mahpawh. Amih aka haidam loh amih te a hmaithawn vetih tuisih tui taengla a khool ni.
11 I will turn all My mountains into roads, and My highways will be raised up.
Kamah kah tlang boeih te long la ka khueh vetih ka longpuei te ka pomsang ni.
12 Behold, they will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Aswan.”
Khohla lamkah rhoek te ha pawk uh ni ke. Tlangpuei lamkah rhoek neh tuitun lamkah ke khaw, Sinim kho lamkah rhoek khaw.
13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
Vaan rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah diklai khaw omngaih saeh. Tlang rhoek khaw tamlung neh rhong la rhong uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a hloep tih mangdaeng rhoek te a haidam coeng.
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
Zion loh, “Yahovah loh kai n'hnoo tih ka Boeipa loh kai n'hnilh coeng,” a ti.
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
Huta loh a ca cahni te a hnilh a? A bungko khuikah a ca te a haidam ta. Te rhoek loh hnilh uh mai cakhaw kai long he nang kan hnilh mahpawh.
16 Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
Kutpha dongah nang kan tarhit coeng tih na vongtung khaw kamah hmaiah om yoeyah coeng he.
17 Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
Na ca rhoek loh namah n'koengloeng uh paitok tih namah lamkah aka thoeng rhoek loh nang n'khah uh.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.
Na mik te huel kilkoel lamtah hmu van lah. Amih te boeih coi uh thae tih nang taengla ha pawk uh coeng. Kai, hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih boeih te kamrhui bangla na vah vetih na langa bangla na hlaengtang ni.
19 For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
Namah kah imrhong neh na ponah kho na pong sak. Khosa taeng lamloh n'daengdaeh pawn vetih nang aka yoop rhoek khaw lakhla uh bitni.
20 Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
Nang hlangmoeng ca rhoek na hna khuiah, “Kai ham a hmuen caek coeng tih kamah ham han thoeih lamtah kho ka sa eh,” a ti uh ni.
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
Te vaengah na thinko nen tah, “Kai aka cun te unim? Kai dueidah laemhong neh pumhong he a hliphen tih n'rhoe sut. Te dongah te rhoek aka puel sak te unim? Kai kamah bueng ka sueng vaengah melae amih eh,” na ti ni.
22 This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Namtom taengah ka kut ka thueng vetih pilnam hamla ka rholik ka thoh pah ni. Te vaengah tah na ca rhoek te poehla neh ham pawk puei uh vetih na tanu rhoek te laengpang dongah a poeh uh ni.
23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
Manghai rhoek te nang aka kaem la, a boeinu rhoek khaw nang aka khut la om uh ni. Nang taengah a tallung neh diklai la bakop uh vetih na kho dongkah laipi a laem uh ni. Te vaengah kai Yahovah neh kai aka lamtawn rhoek loh yah a poh pawt te na ming uh ni.
24 Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Hlangrhalh kah hnorhawt te a loh vetih aka dueng kah tamna te a loeih khaming a?
25 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hlangrhalh tamna khaw a loh pah vetih hlanghaeng a dang khaw a khong pah ni. Na lungawn taengah kai loh kang rhoe vetih na ca rhoek te kamah loh ka khang ni.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Nang aka vuelvaek rhoek te a saa ka cah vetih a thii te thingtui bangla rhuihmil uh ni. Te vaengah pumsa boeih loh kai tah nang kah khangkung Yahovah neh nang aka tlan Jakob kah samrhang la a ming uh ni.
