< Isaiah 52 >
1 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
Aw zion, angthawk ah, anglawt ah loe tha to la ah; Aw Jerusalem, ciimcai vangpui, kahoih khukbuen to angkhuk ah; tangzat hin aat ai kami hoi panuet thok kami loe na thungah akun let mak ai boeh.
2 Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
Maiphu to takhoek ah loe angthawk ah; Aw Jerusalem, angraeng anghnuthaih ahmuen ah anghnu ah; Aw tamna ah kaom Zion canu, na tahnong ah na oih ih sumqui to angkhring lai ah.
3 For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; nang loe tangka hoi na ai ah zawh boeh pongah, tangka hoi ai ah ni akrang tih.
4 For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; canghnii ah kai ih kaminawk loe Izip prae ah khosak hanah caeh o tathuk; hnukkhuem ah loe nihcae to Assyria kaminawk mah takung om ai ah pacaekthlaek o.
5 And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
Vaihi tih sak han ih maw hae ah ka oh? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; takung om ai ah kai ih kaminawk to a naeh o, ukkungnawk mah nihcae to pacaekthlaek o moe, ni thokkhruek kai ih ahmin kasae a thuih o, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
To pongah kai ih kaminawk mah ka hmin hae panoek o tih; to lok thuikung loe Kai ni, tiah atue mah phak naah panoek o tih; khenah, to tiah thuikung loe Kai ni.
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Monghaih lok thuikung, kahoih tamthanglok sinkung, pahlonghaih lok thuikung, anghoehaih tamthanglok sinkung, Zion hanah, Na Sithaw loe Angraeng ah oh, tiah mae nui hoiah angzo lok thuikung ih khok loe kawkrukmaw kranghoih.
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
Na misa toep kaminawk ih lok to tahgai oh; nihcae loe anghoehaih laa to nawnto sah o tih; Angraeng loe Zion ah amlaem let boeh, tiah angmacae ih mik hoiah hnu o tih.
9 Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Ahmuen kamro Jerusalem, anghoehaih laa to nawnto sah o oh; Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to pathloep boeh, anih mah Jerusalem to akrang boeh.
10 The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Prae kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah, Angraeng mah kaciim a ban to amtuengsak boeh pongah, long boenghaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk boih mah aicae Sithaw pahlonghaih to hnu o tih.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
Tacawt oh, tacawt oh, to ahmuen hoiah tacawt oh! Kaciim ai hmuen to sui o hmah! To ahmuen hoiah tacawt oh; Sithaw ih laom phaw kaminawk, ciimcai oh.
12 For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
Tawt hoiah caeh o hmah; cawnhhaih hoiah doeh caeh o hmah; Angraeng loe nangcae hmaa ah caeh tih; nangcae pakaa hanah Israel Sithaw loe hnukbang ah om tih.
13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Khenah, ka tamna loe toksakhaih boih ah hmacawn tih; anih loe kasangah tapom ueloe, ranui koekah pakoehhaih om tih.
14 Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
Anih to kami hoi anghmong ai ah mikhmai set o sak moe, kami hoi anghmong ai ah krang set o sak pongah, kanoih parai kaminawk loe dawnrai o:
15 so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
Anih mah kanoih parai prae kaminawk to ciimsak tih, siangpahrangnawk loe anih hmaa ah pakha tamuep o tih; minawk mah thuih vai ai ih hmuen to nihcae mah hnu o tih; minawk mah thaih vai ai ih hmuen to nihcae mah poek o tih.
