< Isaiah 64 >

1 Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, — that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
Hmai neh thingpaem a hlae tih hmai loh tui a tlawk sak bangla na rhal rhoek taengah na ming ming sak ham ni,
2 — as fire kindleth brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!
na mikhmuh ah namtom rhoek khaw tlai uh ni.
3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
Ka lamtawn pawt te a rhih om la na saii vaengah tlang rhoek na mikhmuh ah na suntlak sak tih moelh uh.
4 Never have [men] heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth for him.
Khosuen lamloh ya uh noek pawt tih, hnakaeng uh pawh. Amah aka rhingda ham a saii namah phoeikah Pathen ti he mik loh ana hmuh moenih.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned: ) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be saved.
Aka ngaingaih tih na longpuei ah duengnah a saii neh nang aka poek rhoek te na doo. Nang khaw na thintoek coeng te. Tedae amih soah kumhal n'tholh dongah n'khang venim.
6 And we are all become as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have carried us away;
Kaimih boeih he rhalawt la ka om uh tih kaimih kah duengnah boeih he pumbuk hni bangla om. Kaimih boeih he hawn bangla ka hoo uh tih kaimih thaesainah loh khohli bangla kaimih n'yawn.
7 and there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast caused us to melt away through our iniquities.
Na ming aka khue ham neh nang saicin ham aka haeng khaw om pawh. Kaimih lamloh na maelhmai na thuh tih kaimih kathaesainah kut ah kaimih nan paci sak.
8 And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Yahovah namah he kaimih napa ni. Kaimih he amlai ni, kaimih aka hlinsai khaw namah ni. Kaimih boeih he na kut kah a bitat ni.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
BOEIPA na thin bahoeng toek sak aih boeh. Thaesainah khaw a yoeyah la poek boeh. Kaimih na pilnam boeih n'paelki laeh he.
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Namah kah khopuei cim rhoek te khosoek la poeh coeng. Zion khaw khosoek la Jerusalem khopong la poeh.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire, and all our precious things are laid waste.
Kaimih kah im cim neh kaimih kah boeimang, a pa rhoek loh nang thangthen nah te hmai dongah ungkhang la poeh tih kaimih kah ngailaemnah boeih khaw imrhong la om.
12 Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Te lalah khaw na thiim uh venim? BOEIPA nim na ngam vetih kaimih mat nan phaep aih veh.
