Esias 50
1 Thus saith the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put her away? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, ye are sold for your sins, and for your iniquities have I put your mother away.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nangmae manu manae ca, kâmanae hah nâne ao. Nahoeh pawiteh, ka laiba dawkvah api koe maw nangmanaw hah na yo awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, namamae na payonnae dawkvah san lah na o awh. Namamouh kaya poenae dawkvah, nangmae manu ka manae doeh.
2 Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to hearken? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.
Kai ka tho navah bangkongmaw taminaw ao awh hoeh. Bangkongmaw na kaw awh lahun nah na pato awh hoeh. Kai ni na ratang thai awh hoeh nahanelah, ka kut a duem namaw. Rungngang thai hoeh nahanlah bahu ka tawn hoeh na maw. Khenhaw! kai ni ka yue teh, tuipui hai remphui. Palang pui hai kahrawng patetlah ka o sak. Tui ao hoeh dawk tanganaw a pawk awh. Tui kahran hoi a due awh.
3 I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.
Kalvan teh hmonae hoi ka tangoung teh, burihni ka kâkhu sak.
4 The Lord [even] God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:
Ka tâwn e koe lawk hoi a tawnnae ka dam sak thai nahanelah, Bawipa Jehovah ni thoumthainae lai na poe. Amom tangkuem kai hah na pâhlaw, ca ka kamtu e patetlah thaisak hanelah ka hnâ heh a pâhlaw.
5 and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.
Bawipa Jehovah ni ka hnâ hah a paawng teh, kai hai kangek mahoeh. Ka taran mahoeh. Hnuklah kâhnawn mahoeh.
6 I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting:
Ka keng kahemnaw koe thoseh, hmaibeisam kapawnnaw koe thoseh, hmaibei ka patueng. Yeiraiponae hoi tamthawinae dawk hoi ka minhmai ka hrawk hoeh.
7 but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp han. Hatdawkvah, yeirai ka po mahoeh. Hatdawkvah, lungtaw patetlah ka minhmai ka hruek teh, kayak mahoeh tie ka panue.
8 for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yea, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw nigh to me.
Kai tangnae na kapoekung teh a hnai toe. Apimaw na tuk han. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw. Kamtueng awh sei. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw, rek na hnai naseh.
9 Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all ye shall wax old as a garment, and a moth shall devour you.
Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp roeroe han. Apinimaw kai hah na sung sak han. Hot patetlah e taminaw teh napon patetlah ao awh vaiteh, khakbara ni koung a ca awh han.
10 Who is among you that fears the Lord? let him hearken to the voice of his servant: ye that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God.
Nangmouh dawk apimaw BAWIPA ka taket, ahni teh a san e lawk ngai naseh. Apimaw angnae tawn laipalah hmonae dawk ouk ka cet. Jehovah min hah kâuep nateh, amae Cathut dawk kamngawi naseh.
11 Behold, ye all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which ye have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Hmai hah patawi teh, amamouh hmaitali hoi muen kâkatum e taminaw, namamae hmaiang dawk thoseh, namamouh ni patawi e hmainaw dawk thoseh, cet awh. Hetheh ka kut dawk hoi ka sin e hmai teh namamouh koe lah tangpek vaiteh, lungmathoe laihoi na yan awh han.
