< Isaiah 58 >

1 “Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Olrhong neh pang lamtah tuem boeh. Tuki bangla na ol te huel. Ka pilnam taengah a boekoek, Jakob imkhui taengah a tholh te puen pah.
2 For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”
A hnin, hnin ah kai n'toem uh tih duengnah aka saii namtom bangla ka longpuei mingnah dongah hmae uh. A Pathen kah laitloeknah te hnoo uh pawt tih laitloeknah te kai n'dawt uh. Duengnah dongah Pathen vang a kai uh.
3 “Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers.
Ba ham nim ka yaeh uh. Ka hinglu ka phaep uh khaw na hmu pawt tih na ming pawh. Na yaehnah hnin ah na ngaih te na dan tih na tueihyoeih rhoek te boeih na tueihno.
4 You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high.
Tuituknah, olpungnah neh na yaeh uh tih halangnah kuthluem neh hlang aka ngawn rhung mai la. Tihnin kah bangla na ol te hmuensang ah yaak sak ham na yaeh uh moenih.
5 Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?
Kai kah ka tuek yaehnah tah he tla om a? Hlang loh amah kah hinglu a phaep ham khohnin dae ni. A lu te canghlong bangla duengyai tih tlamhni neh hmaiphu a phaih te nim? Te mai te nim yaehnah neh BOEIPA taengkah kolonah khohnin na ti van?
6 Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and tear off every yoke?
He bang yaehnah he ni ka coelh moenih a? Halangnah dongkah thuengthuelnah te dul pah ham, hnokohcung rhoi te hlam ham, a neet rhoek te sayalh la tueih ham ni. Te dongah hnokohcung boeih te khaem laeh.
7 Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Na buh te bungpong taengah tael pah ham moenih a? Mangdaeng airhoeng te im la na khuen mako, pumtling te na hmuh vaengah anih te na khuk mako. Namah saa te thuh tak boeh saw.
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Te vaengah na vangnah te khothaih bangla thoeng vetih na hoeihnah khaw pahoi poe ni. Na duengnah te na mikhmuh ah pongpa vetih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah loh nang n'cului ni.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,
Na khue tih na pang vaengah BOEIPA loh n'doo vetih, “Kai la he,” a ti ni. Kutdawn loh a khi hnokohcung neh boethae la aka cal te khaw na khui lamloh na khoe mako.
10 and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.
Na hinglu he bungpong ham na dang van coeng dongah a phaep hlang kah a hinglu khaw cung sak van. Te daengah ni na vangnah loh hmaisuep ah thoeng vetih na taengkah khohmuep te khothun la a poeh eh.
11 The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
BOEIPA loh nang m'mawt yoeyah vetih tuikoek haikoeng khuikah na hinglu te n'cung sak ni. Na rhuh a caang sak vetih khosul dum bangla na om ni. Tuiphuet tui bangla anih kah tui tah caap pah pawh.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling.
Te vaengah na taengkah khosuen imrhong te a yung lamkah loh hang khoeng uh vetih cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela pai ni. Namah te khaw a puut aka biing, khosa ham a hawn aka tlaih la n'khue uh ni.
13 If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,
Kai kah khohnin cim ah na kongaih saii hamla namah kho neh Sabbath te na mael tak atah, Sabbath tah BOEIPA kah a thangpom neh aka cim pangdoknah la na thui atah, na longpuei na saii nen khaw, na sanaep na hmuh nen khaw, olka na thui nen khaw, na thangpom atah,
14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.”
BOEIPA dongah na pang na dok vetih diklai kah hmuensang, hmuensang ah nang te n'ngol sak ni. Na pa Jakob kah rho te nang kan cah ni. BOEIPA kah ka loh a thui ngawn coeng.
