Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Khenhaw! kai ni ka tawm e ka san, ka lungkuepkhai teh, ka rawi e san doeh. Ka Muitha hah ahni van ka patue han. Ahni ni lannae hah miphunnaw koe a thokhai han.
2 He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
Ahni teh, hramki mahoeh. Oung mahoeh. Ahnie lawk hai lamthung dawk apinihai thai mahoeh.
3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Coungroe e lungpum hah khoe hoeh, hmai ka tawk e hmaiim hah padout hoeh. Lannae hah yuemkamcunae hoi a thokhai han.
4 He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
Talaivan vah lannae phung a kangdue sak hoehroukrak, a thayoun mahoeh, a lungpout mahoeh. Ahlanae koe kaawmnaw ni hai ahnie kâlawk hah a ngaihawi awh han.
5 Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
Kalvan ka sak niteh, talai hoi talai thung kaawm e pueng ka sak e, talai van kaawm e naw hah kâha hai thoseh, talai van lam kacetnaw hah muitha hai thoseh, ka poe e, Cathut Jehovah ni a dei e teh,
6 I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai ni nang hah lannae lahoi na kaw vaiteh, na kut dawk hoi na hrawi han.
7 That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Nang ni mit ka dawnnaw e mit na hmu sak thai nahane hoi, paung lah kaawm e naw hah thongim thung hoi thoseh, hmonae koe ka tahung e naw hah hmonae thongim thung hoi thoseh, rasa tâcokhai hanelah, taminaw hoi lawkkam e lah thoseh, miphunnaw hanelah angnae lah thoseh, nang hah kai ni na ta toe.
8 I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Hothateh, kaie ka min doeh. Kai bawilennae hah apihai thoseh, kai ni ka coe e pholennae hah meikaphawknaw hai thoseh, ka poe hoeh.
9 The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
Yampa e hnonaw teh a loum toe. A katha e hnonaw hah atu ka pâpho. Hotnaw a tâco hoehnahlan vah, nangmouh sut na thai sak.
10 Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
Tui dawk ka cet kaawm e naw hoi ahlanae koe ramlouk lah kaawm e naw, BAWIPA koe la katha sak awh. Ahni hah talai apoutnae koehoi pholen awh.
11 Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
Kahrawngum hoi hot thung e kho kaawm e pueng, hoi Kedar kho kaawm e taminaw pueng ni pholen awh naseh. Sela kaawm e naw pueng ni monsom vah hram laihoi lunghawi laihoi la sak awh naseh.
12 They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnue sak laihoi, tuilum apoutnae koe a lungmanae teh pholen awh.
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
BAWIPA teh athakaawme tami patetlah a tâco teh, ransa patetlah a taran ahawi. Tânae hoi a hram teh, a tarannaw hah a tâ.
14 I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
Kai teh atueng kasawlah duem ka o. Kai teh duem ka o teh, ka taminaw hah ka pato hoeh. Atuteh, camo ka khe e napui patetlah kahram han. Hongho hongho kâha vaiteh, ngawt ka tawn han.
15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
Monnaw hoi monruinaw ka raphoe han. Thingkung ramkungnaw puenghai ka ke sak han. Tuipuinaw hai tuilumnaw lah kacoungsak vaiteh, talînaw pueng hai kahaksak han.
16 And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
Mit kadawnnaw hah a panue awh hoeh e lam dawk hoi ka thak vaiteh, a panue awh hoeh e lamthung dawk lam ka patue han. Ahnimae hmalah hmonae hah angnae lah kacoungsak han. Lamthung tangkomnaw hah, ka kânging sak han. Hetnaw hah ka sak vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah ka hnoun mahoeh.
17 They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
Meikaphawk ka bawk awh niteh, meikaphawk hanelah, nang teh kaimae cathutnaw doeh katetenaw teh puenghoi kayak awh vaiteh, hnuklah a kamlang awh han.
18 Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
Hnâpangnaw thai awh haw. Mitdawnnaw, na hmu thai nahanelah khenhaw.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
Kaie ka san hloilah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. Ka patoun e laiceinaw patetlah apimouh a hnâ ka pang va. Kaie ka hui patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. BAWIPA e san patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va.
20 Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
Ahni ni moikapap a hmu eiteh, kâhruetcuet thai hoeh. A hnâkâko eiteh thai thai hoeh.
21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
BAWIPA teh amae kâlawk rasangsak hane hoi a lentoesak hanelah, amae lannae dawk a lungyouk.
22 But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
Hete miphun teh, tuk e hoi lawp e miphun lah doeh ao. Ahnimouh teh, tangkom dawk tangkam a kâman awh teh, thongim dawk hro e lah ao awh. Kahloutsakkung kaawm hoeh e lawp e lah ao awh. Tuk teh lawp lah ao awh navah, na poe leih telah ka tet hane awm hoeh.
23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
Nangmouh thung dawk apinang mouh hete lawk hah na ka thai awh han va. Atu hoi hmalah te, apinang mouh na ka thai awh han.
24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
Jakop teh tuk e hoi lawp e lah thoseh, Isarel hah kalawmkungnaw koe thoseh, apimouh ka hnawng va. Maimouh ni taran awh teh, ahni koe yonnae sak awh e BAWIPA ni nahoehmaw. Ahnimouh teh Bawipa e lamthung dawn awh hoeh. Bawipa e kâlawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
25 And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
Hatdawkvah, puenghoi a lungkhueknae teh, ahnimouh lathueng a rabawk teh, takikatho e tarankâtuknae hah ahnimouh koe a pha sak. Ahnimouh tengpam vah hmai a sawi. Hateiteh, panuek awh hoeh. Amamouh hoi amamouh a kak awh. Hatei, pâkuem awh hoeh.
