Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
Tekah khohnin ah tah Judah kho ah hekah laa he a sak ni. “Mamih ham sarhi la aka tak khopuei, khangnah vongtung neh rhalmahvong khaw a khueh.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Vongka rhoek ong uh lamtah oltak aka ngaithuen namtu loh a dueng la kun van saeh.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
Benbonah aka talong tih namah dongah aka pangtung kah rhoepnah ngaimongnah tah na kueinah ni.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
BOEIPA dongah a yoeyah la pangtung lah. BOEIPA Yahweh tah kumhal lungpang la om.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
Hmuensang khorha kah khosa khaw a ngam sak. Aka pomdoep uh te khaw diklai ah a kunyun, a kunyun sak tih, laipi khuila a bol.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
Te vaengah mangdaeng kah a kho, a kho ah tattloel kah khokan loh a taelh.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Aka dueng kah caehlong tah vanat tih aka thuem kah namtlak te a dueng la na saelh pah.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
BOEIPA namah kah caehlong tah tiktam pai, na ming ham nang kan lamtawn uh tih, ka hinglu ngaihlihnah tah namah poekkoepnah ham om saeh.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
Ka hinglu neh khoyin ah nang kan ngaidam. Ka khui kah ka mueihla long khaw nang kan toem. Diklai hman kah na laitloeknah vanbangla lunglai dongkah khosa rhoek loh duengnah a cang uh.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
Halang te rhen mai cakhaw khohmuen kah duengnah khaw a cang moenih. Oldueng a phayoe sak tih BOEIPA kah rhimomnah te hmu pawh.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
BOEIPA nang kah kut thueng te hmu uh pawh. Pilnam kah thatlainah loh hmu saeh lamtah yahpok kolo saeh. Na rhal rhoek kah hmai long khaw amih te hlawp nawn saeh.
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
BOEIPA aw, kaimih ham rhoepnah nan tloeng tih kamamih kah bitat boeih khaw kaimih yueng la na saii.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA nang voelkah boei rhoek loh kaimih n'rhukom thil. Na ming neh namah bueng ni kam poek uh.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Aka duek rhoek te hing uh pawt tih sairhai he khaw thoo uh noek pawh. Te dongah amih te na hip tih na milh sak. Te vaengah amih poekkoepnah khaw boeih na paltham sak.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Namtom te na thap coeng. BOEIPA namah loh na thap namtom loh namah n'thangpom coeng tih diklai khobawt khaw boeih na lakhla sak.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Rhal lakli ah khaw BOEIPA namah te ng'hip uh tih amih te na thuituennah neh na calthai loh a kilh.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
Aka vawn loh camoe om ham a tawn uh bangla, aka vawn loh a tharui khui kah a tloh neh a pang bangla, BOEIPA nang kah mikhmuh ah ka om uh tangkhuet.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Ka vawn uh tih pumrih uh dae khohli ni ka cun uh. Diklai ah khangnah khaw n'saii uh pawt tih lunglai kah khosa khaw cungku uh hae pawh.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
Namah ah aka duek rhoek tah hing uh ni. Ka rhok he khaw thoo ni. Laipi dongkah khosa rhoek khaw haenghang vetih tamhoe ni. Namah kah buemtui khosae buemtui bangla diklai long he sairhai rhoek te a cungku sak ni.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
Ka pilnam aw cet lamtah namah imkhui la kun laeh. Na thohkhaih te khai laeh. Kosi a poeng la a poeng hil tah mikhaptok ca khaw na hnuk longah bet thuh dae.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
Diklai khosa rhoek kathaesainah te cawh hamla amah hmuen lamloh BOEIPA ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah a sokah thii te diklai loh a phoe vetih a pum dongkah a ngawn uh te khaw phah voel mahpawh.
