< Isaiah 51 >
1 “Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.
Lannae ka pâlei niteh, BAWIPA ka tawng e taminaw ka lawk thai awh haw, nangmouh na kâdêinae lungsong hoi na tai awh e tangkom kâko khenhaw.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.
Nangmae na pa Abraham hoi nangmouh na kakhekung Sarah hah khenhaw. Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, ahni dueng doeh ka kaw, yawkahawi sak teh, tami moikapap lah ka coung sak.
3 For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni Zion kho lung a pahawi han. Ahnie tami kingdinae hmuen pueng, lung a pahawi vaiteh, kahrawngum hah Eden hmuen patetlah ka sak vaiteh, ramkenae hah BAWIPA takha patetlah ka sak han. Lunghawilawkdeinae hoi nawmnae, lunghawilawk deinae hoi la saknae lawknaw athung vah hmu lah ao han.
4 Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.
Ka taminaw ka dei e thai awh haw. Ka miphunnaw na hnâpakeng awh haw. Kai koehoi kâlawk a tâco vaiteh, lawk ka tâtueng e teh taminaw hanelah, angnae lah ao han.
5 My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.
Ka lannae teh a hnai toe. Kaie rungngangnae teh a tâco toe. Ka kut ni tamipueng lawk a ceng awh han. Tuilum ramnaw ni a panue awh vaiteh, ka kut a kâuep awh han.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.
Kalvan lah radoung awh haw, a rahim lae talai hai khenhaw. Kalvan teh hmaikhu patetlah a kahma teh, talai teh khohna patetlah a pawn han. Talai taminaw teh, tangkarang patetlah a due awh han. Hatei, rungngangnae teh a yungyoe a kangning vaiteh, lannae hai pahnawt thai lah awm mahoeh.
7 Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.
Lannae phung ka panuek niteh, kaie kâlawk a lungthin dawk katatnaw, ka lawk thai awh haw. Taminaw e pathoenae taket awh hanh. Hnephnapnae hai taket awh hanh.
8 For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimanaw teh, khohna patetlah hmonae ni koung a ca awh han. Tumuen patetlah ahnimanaw teh pâri ni a ca awh han. Hatei, ka lannae teh a yungyoe a cak vaiteh, ka rungngangnae teh a se buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a kangning han.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?
Kâhlaw leih, kâhlaw leih, thaonae kâmahrawk leih. Ayan e tueng dawk palang na kâhlaw e patetlah kâhlaw leih. Rahab ka rek niteh, khorui hah patawnae kapoekung teh, BAWIPA nang nahoehmaw.
10 Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
Nang teh, kadung ni teh ka kaw e tuipui kahaksakkung, na rungngang e taminaw a cei nahanelah, tuipui a dungpoungnae koe lamthung na ka sak pouh kung teh nang nahoehmaw.
11 So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
Hot patetlah a ratang e taminaw ni, BAWIPA koelah a ban awh vaiteh, amamae lû dawk a yungyoe lunghawinae la sak nalaihoi Zion lah a ban awh nahan, lunghawinae hoi a nawmnae a hmu awh vaiteh, lungmathoenae hoi khuikanae teh, koung a kahma han toe.
12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?
Na lung ka mawng sak kung teh kai kama roeroe doeh. Tami capa pho patetlah kasakkung hoi kadout hane tami ka taket e tami teh apimaw.
13 But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?
Talaidu adu ka ung niteh, kalvannaw kasakkung hoi nang na kasakkung BAWIPA na pahnim teh, pacekpahlek e tami ni kai na raphoe tawmlei toe telah na pouk teh ahnie lungkhueknae pou na taki. Ka pacekpahlek e tami a lungkhueknae teh atu nâmaw ao.
14 The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.
Tangkom thung dout mahoeh. Rawca hai pout mahoeh, Karang lah hloutnae koe a pha han.
15 For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Kai teh, tuipui ka yue ni teh tuicapa kahramsakkung nangmae Jehovah na Cathut doeh. A min teh ransahu BAWIPA doeh.
16 I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
Kalvan ka kangdout sak niteh, talai adu ka ung e ni Zion koevah, ka tami lah na o telah ka ti thai nahanelah, ka lawk na pahni dawk ka hruek toe. Ka kut e tâhlip hoi nang teh na ramuk toe telah ati.
17 Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs— the cup that makes men stagger.
Oe, Jerusalem, BAWIPA e kut dawk e lungkhueknae manang kanetkung napui, kâhlaw leih, thaw nateh kâhlaw leih. nang ni tâluengsaknae manang hai koung na nei toe. A radue hai koung na nei toe.
18 Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand.
Na khe e na capanaw thung dawk, nama lam kapâtuekung buet touh hai awm hoeh. Na kawk e capanaw thung dawk nama kut hoi na ka hrawi hane tami buet touh hai awm hoeh.
19 These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you?
Takang a tho vaiteh tami kingdinae hoi, tahloi hoi theinae, hete runae kahni touh nange lathueng a pha toe. Apinimaw na ka khai vaiteh, lung na pahawi han.
20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
Na capanaw ni kângai a ru awh han. Tangkhek dawk kâman e Atha patetlah lam tangkuem dawk ayan awh vaiteh, BAWIPA e lungkhueknae hoi Cathut e yuenae teh a boum awh han.
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
Hatdawkvah, pacekpahlek e ka khang e tami, misurtui hloilah alouke paruinae hoi ka parui e tami thai awh haw.
22 Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.
Na BAWIPA, a taminaw lawk ouk ka kâpankhai e, na Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, khenhaw! pâyawnae manang, ka lungkhueknae manang dawk e a taisawm hah na kut dawk e ka la vaiteh, nang teh bout na net mahoeh toe.
23 I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
Hatei, nang koe vah na tak van coungroe thai nahanelah, tabawk haw telah a titeh, na lathueng kacetnaw hanelah, lamthung patetlah na tak a phai teh, patawnae na kapoekungnaw e kut dawk, hote yamu manang ka hruek han.
