Isaiah 46
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
Bel loe amtim boeh, Nebo doeh angam sut boeh; nihcae ih krang loe khok palito kaom moinawk hanah phawh o sak; to hmuen loe moinawk han hmuen kazit ah oh, thacak ai moi han cae loe kazit parai hmuen ah oh pae.
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
Nihcae loe lu thuk o moe, nawnto angam o sut boeh; hmuenzit hoiah loih o thai ai; angmacae doeh tamna ah caeh o boeh.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
Jakob imthung takoh ka lok hae tahngai oh; kanghmat Israel imthung takoh, tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah kang patawnh moe, zokthung hoiah ni kang moek boeh;
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
na mitong o moe, sam na pok o karoek to kai loe to baktih kami ah ka oh; kang sak baktih toengah kang khet han; kang moek moe, kang pahlong han.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
Kai hae mi hoiah maw nang hmong o sak moe, mi hoiah maw nang van o sak? Kai loe mi hoiah maw nang patah o moe, mi hoiah maw nang zun o sak?
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Nihcae loe angmacae ih pasah thung ih sui to pakong o, sumkanglung to tah o moe, sui sah kop kami to a tlai o; sui sah kop kami mah nihcae hanah sithaw to sak pae; ue, a sak pacoengah a hmaa ah akuep o moe, a bok o.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
Angmacae palaeng ah a thuengh o moe, aput o; a oh o haih ahmuen ah caeh o haih moe, to ah angdoet o sak; to krang loe ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthui thai ai; ue, anih to kawk o, toe pathim pae thai ai, raihaih thung hoiah doeh pahlong thai ai.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
Hae hae pakuem o poe ah loe kaminawk khaeah patuek oh; Aw nangcae hmuen sah pazae kaminawk, palung thungah pakuem oh.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Canghnii ih hmuennawk to pakuem oh; Kai loe Sithaw ah ka oh, kai ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai; Kai baktih Sithaw kalah mi doeh om ai.
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
Tangsuek hoi boeng khoek to kaom ai vop hmuennawk kawng to canghnii hoiah ka thuih coek boeh; ka thuih ih lok loe cak poe tih, ka koeh ih hmuennawk to ka sak boih han.
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
Moi kacaa tavaanawk to ni angzae bang hoiah ka kawk moe, ka thuih ih lok to acungsak hanah, angthla parai prae hoiah kami to ka kawk; ue, ka thuih pacoeng boeh loe ka thuih ih lok baktiah kang coengsak han; sak ka tim boeh loe ka sak ngaep pacae han.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Palungthah kami, toenghaih hoiah angthla kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh;
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
Ka toenghaih to kanghnai ah ka sin han; angthla ah om mak ai; ka pahlonghaih doeh akra mak ai; ka pahlonghaih to Zion khaeah ka paek moe, ka lensawkhaih to Israel khaeah ka paek han.
