< 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.
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh Zion nang loh sarhi tak sak. Khopuei cim Jerusalem nang boeimang himbai bai laeh. Na khuiah aka pawk ham pumdul neh rhalawt loh n'koei voel mahpawh.
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.
Laipi te khoek laeh. Jerusalem aw thoo lamtah ngol laeh. Zion nu tamna aw na rhawn kah kuelrhui te hlam rhoe hlam laeh.
3 For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “A yoeyap la n'yoih uh tih tangka mueh lam ni n'tlan uh eh,” a ti.
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.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lamhma ah tah ka pilnam loh Egypt ah bakuep pahoi ham suntla tih Assyria loh lungli lungla la anih te a hnaemtaek.
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.
Tahae ah ba aih nim kai tloe tah, menim kai ham tah BOEIPA kah olphong lah ve? Ka pilnam te poeyoek la a khuen coeng. Anih aka taem la aka taem rhoek tah rhung uh coeng. BOEIPA kah olphong dae ta, nainoe taitu la hnin takuem ah kai ming a tlaitlaek.
6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
Ka ming he ka pilnam loh ming tangloeng saeh. Tekah khohnin ah kamah loh, “Kai ni he,” ka ti tangloeng coeng.
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!”
Rhoepnah aka phong tih aka yaak sak, a then aka phong tih khangnah aka yaak sak, Zion taengah, “Na Pathen tah manghai coeng,” aka ti nah kah a khokan tah tlang soah khaw damyal tangkik mai.
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 rhaltawt rhoek kah ol tah ol pakhat la huek a huel uh tih tamhoe uh. BOEIPA te Zion la a mael vaengah tah a mik, mik ah so uh thae ni.
9 Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Jerusalem imrhong rhoek tun pang uh lamtah tamhoe uh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam a hloep tih Jerusalem a tlan coeng.
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.
Namtom boeih kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh a ban cim te a lam vetih diklai khobawt ah mamih Pathen kah khangnah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
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.
Nong uh laeh, nong uh lamtah te lamloh coe uh laeh. Rhalawt te ben boeh, a khui lamloh nong laeh. BOEIPA kah hnopai aka phuei long tah meet uh.
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.
Tokrhat la coe boel lamtah yonglong khaw hmaai boeh. Nangmih mikhmuh ah aka cet BOEIPA neh Israel Pathen loh nang ng'khoem ta.
13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Ka sal loh a cangbam bitni. Amah te a pomsang vetih a ludoeng vaengah bahoeng sang bitni.
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—
Nang taengah muep a hal uh vanbangla a hmuethma khaw hlang lakah, a suisak hlang ca rhoek lakah poeih uh tangloeng coeng.
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.
Namtom rhoek khaw anih kongah a haeh muep vetih manghai rhoek loh a ka a buem uh ni. Amih taengah a doek pah pawt te khaw a hmuh uh vetih a yaak uh noek pawt te a yakming uh ni.
