< Isaiah 58 >
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Kacaipounglah hram nateh, panguep hanh. Mongka patetlah na lawk cai sak. Ka taminaw ni kâlawk a eknae hoi Jakop imthung yonnae hah pâpho haw.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the ordinances of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
Hateiteh, hnintangkuem kai hah na tawng awh teh, ka lamthung panue e hah a ngai awh. Miphun buet touh ni lannae a sak teh, Cathut e lamthung a ceitakhai boihoeh e patetlah kângingnae phunglam hah na pâlei awh teh, Cathut hnai hane hai a ngai awh.
3 — Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours.
Bangkongmaw, rawca ka hai awh e na hmu hoeh. Bang kecu dawk maw, oupnae na poe e hah na panuek laipalah ati awh. Khenhaw! rawca na hai hnin vah, namamouh nawmnae na sak awh teh, na thaw katawknaw pueng na dudam awh.
4 Behold, ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye do not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
Nangmouh ni kâyuekâounnae hoi, thoenae kut na kahluem awh teh, kâthaw hanelah, rawca hah ouk na hai awh. Sahnin e rawca na hai awh e patetlah na lawknaw hah lathueng lah thai hanelah rawca na hai awh mahoeh.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul, — that he should bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? Wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
Rawcahai hnin vah, na ka rek awh e hah maw kai ni ka ngai e lah ao han. A kang patetlah lûsaling hane hoi, buri phai vaiteh vaiphu kâphuen hane na vaimoe. Hetheh, rawcahainae hoi BAWIPA ni a coe e hnin na ti awh han na vaimoe.
6 Is not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break every yoke?
Tamikathout kateknae tangron rathap pouh e, yawcu patue e, hoi yawcu kâkhoe sak e heh ka ngai e rawcahainae nahoehmaw.
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring to thy house the needy wanderers; when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
A von ka hlamnaw koe rawca poe hane karoedengnaw im vah, thokhai e nahoehmaw. Caici lah kaawmnaw na hmu navah, khohna na poe hane, nama e tak na hmu toteh na roun hoeh nahoehmaw.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard.
Na angnae hah amom e kho ka sei e patetlah a sei vaiteh, damnae teh karanglah a pha han. Na lannae ni na hrawi vaiteh, BAWIPA bawilennae a kamnue sak han.
9 Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,
Hottelah na kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni a pato han. Na kaw toteh ahni ni, hi ka o ati han. Nangmouh thung dawk e yawcu hoi, khutdon hoi takhi e, dudamnae lawk dei e hah na kâvan sak awh teh,
10 and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;
a von ka hlamnaw hanelah hring na pasoung teh, rektap e naw hah a von na paha sak pawiteh, hmonae um vah na angnae a tâco vaiteh, hmonae hah kanîthun patetlah ao han.
11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.
Pout laipalah BAWIPA ni na hrawi awh han. Takang a tho navah, ka boum lah na paca han. Na hrunaw hai a tha ka o sak han. Tui ka bu e takha patetlah kahak boihoeh e tuiphuek patetlah na o han.
12 And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.
Nangmouh thung e taminaw ni palang ka rawk e hmuen hah na pathoup awh han. Se moikapap e adu lah ung e pathoup awh ati han. Hottelah nangmouh teh, ka rawk e ka pathoupkung tamimaya lam, khosak nahanelah, patuen ka pathoupkung lah na o awh ati awh han.
13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;
Sabbath a ek hoeh nahan hoi, hnin kathoung hnin nah na ngai e na sak hoeh nahanelah, sabbath hah nawmnae doeh na titeh, BAWIPA e hnin kathoung teh, bari han kamcu na titeh, ma ngai e tarawi mahoeh, mae nawmnae hai sak mahoeh, lawk dei laipalah na pho na len awh pawiteh,
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
BAWIPA dawkvah, na lunghawi vaiteh, talai a rasangnae hmuen dawk na kâcui han. Na pa Jakop ni a pang e râw hoi na kawk han. BAWIPA e pahni ni a dei toe ati.
