Isaiah 44
1 And now hear, O Jacob, my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
Atuteh, ka san Jakop, ka rawi e Isarel thai haw.
2 Thus saith the Lord that made and formed thee, thy helper from the womb: Fear not, O my servant Jacob, and thou most righteous whom I have chosen.
Nangmouh na kasakkung, von thung hoi na kasakkung, nangmouh kabawmkung lah kaawm e Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Oe Jakop, ka san, kai ni na rawi e Jeshurun, taket hanh.
3 For I will pour out waters upon the thirsty ground, and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy stock.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui kahrannaw koe tui ka awi han. Talai kaphui dawk palangpui ka lawng sak han. Na catounnaw koe muitha ka awi vaiteh, na canaw koe yawhawinae ka poe han.
4 And they shall spring up among the herbs, as willows beside the running waters.
Hot patetlah, ahnimouh teh tui teng ka pâw e sumpathing patetlah a dawn han.
5 One shall say: I am the Lord’s, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand, To the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
Tami buet touh ni BAWIPA e tami doeh telah alouke ni Jakop min a kâphung han. Alouke ni Jakop e tami telah a kut dawk thun awh vaiteh, Isarel min teh amamae miphun min lah a hno awh han.
6 Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the brat, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.
Isarelnaw e siangpahrang Jehovah ni karatangkung ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kai teh ahmaloe e lah ka o teh a hnukteng e lah ka o. Kai laipalah teh Cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh.
7 Who is like to me? let him call and declare: and let him set before me the order, since I appointed the ancient people: and the things to come, and that shall be hereafter, let them shew unto them.
Ayan e taminaw kai ni ka kangdue sak hnin hoi kai ni ka sak e patetlah apimaw ouk ka pâpho. Hot patetlah, pâpho sak haw. Kai hanlah kaawm lahun e hno kaawm han rae hno heh kai koe kamphawng sak naseh.
8 Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled, from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?
Taket awh hanh, puen hai puen awh hanh. Hmaloe vah nangmouh koe ka dei teh na panue sak awh toe. Kai hloilah Cathut ao maw. Oe, lungsong alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Buet touh boehai ao tie ka panuek hoeh.
9 The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed.
Meikaphawk kasaknaw teh, abuemlah hoi hno han kamcu hoeh e naw doeh. A sungren sak awh eiteh, banglahai tho hoeh. Kaimouh teh ka hmawt thai awh hoeh, ka panuek thai awh hoeh tie kayanae hah amamouh ni a pâpho awh.
10 Who hath formed a god, and made a graven thing that is profitable for nothing?
Apinimaw cathut a sak. Apinimaw banglah ka tho hoeh e meikaphawk hah a sak.
11 Behold, all the partakers thereof shall be confounded: for the makers are men: they shall all assemble together, they shall stand and fear, and shall be confounded together.
Khenhaw! a huiko pueng ni a kaya awh han. Thaw katawkkungnaw hai tami kahring doeh. Abuemlah hoi kamkhueng nateh kangdout awh naseh. Taket awh vaiteh yeirai a po awh han.
12 The smith hath wrought with his file, with coals, and with hammers he hath formed it, and hath wrought with the strength of his arm: he shall hunger and faint, he shall drink no water, and shall be weary.
Sum ka dêi ni cakâ ouk a dêi. Hmaisaan dawk a phum teh a kut tha kâsanguekhai teh, cakkin hoi a dêi. A vonhlam toteh a tha ouk a tawn. Tui a nei hoeh toteh tui a kahran.
13 The carpenter hath stretched out his rule, he hath formed it with a plane: he hath made it with corners, and hath fashioned it round with the compass: and he hath made the image of a man as it were a beautiful man dwelling in a house.
Lettama ni rui a payang teh cacung hoi a ruen. Lettama hnopai hoi a sak hnukkhu imvan ao thai nahanlah kompa hoi a thut teh, tami mei hoi a kâvan nahanelah tami hoi mei kâvan lah a sak.
14 He hath cut down cedars, taken the holm, and the oak that stood among the trees of the forest: he hath planted the pine tree, which the rain hath nourished.
Sidar thing a tâtueng awh teh, hmaica thing hoi saipres thing a la awh teh, ratu dawk e thing buet touh teh a ham lah o nahanlah a cak sak. Sidar thing a ung awh teh khotui ni a roung sak.
15 And it hath served men for fuel: he took thereof, and warmed himself: and he kindled it, and baked bread: but of the rest he made a god, and adored it: he made a graven thing, and bowed down before it.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, tami hane thing lah doeh a tho toe. Thing lah a bet awh teh, hmai a kamben awh. Hmai a bet awh teh vaiyei hai a pâeng awh, cathut lah a sak awh teh a bawk awh. Hote thing hah meikaphawk lah a sak awh teh, hot hah tabo laihoi a bawk awh.
16 Part of it he burnt with fire, and with part of it he dressed his meat: he boiled pottage, and was filled, and was warmed, and said: Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.
Hote thing hah a tangawn hmai a bet awh, a tangawn moi thawng nahanlah a hno awh, moi a pâeng awh teh kaboumlah a ca awh. Hmai a kamben awh teh huthutbet toe ati awh teh, hmai hai ka hmu toe ati awh.
17 But the residue thereof he made a god, and a graven thing for himself: he boweth down before it, and adoreth it, and prayeth unto it, saying: Deliver me, for thou art my God.
Ka cawi e hai a la awh teh, cathutkaphawk lah a sak awh. Hote meikaphawk hmalah a tabo awh teh a bawk awh. Ahni koe a ratoum awh, na rungngang haw, bangdawkmaw kaie cathut nahoehmaw, atipouh awh.
18 They have not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.
Panuek awh hoeh ni teh thaipanuek awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmu thai hoeh nahan a mit a tabuem pouh teh, a thai thai hoeh nahan a lungthin khik a khan pouh.
19 They do not consider in their mind, nor know, nor have the thought to say: I have burnt part of it in the fire, and I have baked bread upon the coals thereof: I have broiled flesh and have eaten, and of the residue thereof shall I make an idol? shall I fall down before the stock of a tree?
Hahoi apinihai pouk thai awh hoeh, panuek thai awh hoeh. Atangawn teh hmai a bet awh teh, hmaisaan dawk vaiyei hai a pâeng awh, moi hai a pâeng awh teh a ca awh. Ka cawi rae naw teh panuettho e lah maw ao han toung. Thingtalong hah tabo laihoi bawk han na maw tie ka panuek e hoi ka thaipanuek e khoeroe awm hoeh bo toung aw.
20 Part thereof is ashes: his foolish heart adoreth it, and he will not save his soul, nor say: Perhaps there is a lie in my right hand.
Hraba hoi kâkawk teh dumyennae lungthin hoi lam a payon awh toe. Hatdawkvah a hringnae hah rungngang thai hoeh. Aranglae kut dawk hai laithoe ao tie panuek thai awh hoeh.
21 Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art my servant. I have formed thee, thou art my servant, O Israel, forget me not.
Oe Jakop, hote hnonaw teh pahnim hanh. Isarel hai pahnim hanh. Nangmouh teh kaie ka san doeh. Kai ni na sak e ka san doeh. Oe Isarel, nang teh ka pahnim e lah na awm mahoeh.
22 I have blotted out thy iniquities as a cloud, and thy sins as a mist: return to me, for I have redeemed thee.
Kâtapoenae hateh, kathapoung e tâmai kâhin e patetlah ka kâhin sak han. Kai koe bout ban awh leih, kai ni yo na ratang awh toe.
23 Give praise, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath shewn mercy: shout with joy, ye ends of the earth: ye mountains, resound with praise, thou, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
Oe kalvannaw lunghawi hoi la sak awh. BAWIPA ni a sak toe. Nangmouh talai taminaw hram awh haw. Monnaw, ratunaw hoi thingkungnaw hram nateh la sak awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Jakop teh a ratang toe. Isarelnaw lah a lentoenae a kamnue toe.
24 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, and thy maker, from the womb: I am the Lord, that make all things, that alone stretch out the heavens, that establish the earth, and there is none with me.
Nang karatangkung BAWIPA, vonthung na ka sak e ni hettelah a dei, Kai heh Jehovah hnonaw pueng kasakkung, kalvannaw haiyah madueng lahoi ka sak niteh, kama dueng lahoi talai kapakawkung doeh.
25 That make void the tokens of diviners, and make the soothsayers mad. That turn the wise backward, and that, make their knowledge foolish.
Kai ni a lai kathoutnaw e mitnoutnaw hai ka raphoe pouh. Khueyuenaw hai ka pathu sak, a lungkaangnaw kamlang sak teh, a panuenae pathu lah kacoungsakkung.
26 That raise up the word of my servant and perform the counsel of my messengers, who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be inhabited: and to the cities of Juda: You shall be built, and I will raise up the wastes thereof.
Kai ni ka sannaw e lawk hah ka caksak teh, ka patounenaw ni a dei e patetlah ouk ka sak. Jerusalem kho hanelah nang teh tami onae lah na o han telah thoseh, Judah kho hah sak lah na o han, ka rawk e naw hah pathoup lah ao han telah thoseh ka dei.
27 Who say to the deep: Be thou desolate, and I will dry up thy rivers.
Talîpui hai tui hak seh, nange palangnaw pueng ka hak sak han telah thoseh,
28 Who say to Cyrus: Thou art my shepherd, and thou shalt perform all my pleasure. Who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be built: and to the temple: Thy foundations shall be laid.
Sairas siangpahrang hanelah nang teh kaie tukhoumkung doeh, kai ni ka ngai e pueng na kuep sak vaiteh, Jerusalem kho pathoup seh, Bawkim adu ung seh telah thoseh ka dei.
