Isaiah 59
1 Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
Khenhaw! BAWIPA e kut teh rungngang thai hoeh han totouh duem hoeh. Thai thai hoeh nahan totouh a hnâpang hoeh.
2 But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
Hatei, namamae payonnae ni na Cathut koehoi na kapek awh teh, a thai hoeh nahanelah na hawi awh hoeh nae ni a minhmai hah nangmouh koehoi a hro toe.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
Nangmae kut teh thi hoi thoseh, na kutdawnnaw teh yonnae hoi thoseh, na khin sak awh. Nangmouh ni pahni hoi laithoe na dei awh. Na laihoi thoenae lawk na dei awh.
4 There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
Kângingnae hah apinihai tawng awh hoeh. Lawkkatang hah tarawi awh hoeh. Ayawmyin e lawk hah a kâuep awh teh, laithoe lawk doeh ouk a dei awh. Thoenae hah a vawn awh teh, payonnae hah a khe awh.
5 They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
Tahrun tadui hah a awt awh teh, Bombarui hah a kawng awh. A taduinaw kacate teh a due. A tadui a kâkhei teh tahrun lah a tâco.
6 Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
A kawng awh e bombarui teh, khohna lah kangcoung pouh hoeh. A kawng awh e hni hah kâkhu awh mahoeh. A sak awh e hno hah kahawihoehe hoi a sak awh dawkvah, a kut dawk thamanae ao.
7 Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways.
A khoknaw teh thoenae saknae koe a yawng awh teh, yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami thipalawngnae koe a hue a rang awh. A pouknae hai kahawihoehe pouknae doeh. A ceinae lamthung hai rucatnae hoi rawknae lamthung lah doeh ao.
8 They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
Roumnae lamthung panuek awh hoeh. Ahnimae lamthung dawk kângingnae awm hoeh. A cei awh nahan lamlongkawinaw a sak awh teh, kadawnnaw pueng ni roumnae hmawt awh mahoeh.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
Hatdawkvah, kângingnae teh maimouh koehoi kahlatpoung lah ao teh, lannae ni hai na phat boi awh hoeh toe. Angnae hah ka ring awh, hatei, haw vah hmonae teh ao. Ka ring awh e teh angnae eiteh, kahmawt poung e koe doeh cei awh.
10 We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
Mit ka dawn e patetlah tapang thupthup payam awh teh, mit ka tawn hoeh e patetlah pou payam awh. Tangmin e patetlah kanîthun hai kamthui awh teh, ka rawp awh. Thaonae koe teh tami kadout patetlah doeh ka o awh toe.
11 We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us.
Tavom patetlah ka hram awh teh, bakhu patetlah ka cingou awh. Kângingnae ka tawng awh ei, pâphawng awh hoeh toe. Rungngangnae ngaihawi awh ei, maimouh koehoi ahla poung toe.
12 For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk eknae teh a hmaitung vah hoehoe apap. Ka yonae ni kamamouh koelah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Ka payon awh e pueng kamamouh koe ao teh, sakpayon e pueng hai kamamouh ni ka panue awh.
13 In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood.
Kâtapoenae, laithoe lahoi BAWIPA tarannae, Cathut hnamthun takhai e, repcoungroenae, taranthawnae lawk deinae, ka vawn awh teh, lungthin thung hoi laithoe lawk dei awh.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
Kalan lah lawkcengnae ni hnam na thun takhai teh, kângingnae ni kahlatpoung e hmuen koe a kangdue. Lawkkatang teh lam dawk a rawp teh, lannae kâen thai hoeh.
15 And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
Lawkkatang teh a rawk toe. Thoenae ka roun e tami hah hnopainaw a lawp awh toe. BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu teh, kângingnae ao hoeh toung dawkvah, a maithoe.
16 And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.
Tami awm hoeh tie a hmu navah, ka kâhet pouh e awm hoeh tie hah kângai lah a ru. Hatdawkvah, a kut hoi roeroe rungngangnae letlang a sak teh, amae lannae lahoi letlang a kangdue sak.
17 He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
Lannae hah bahling lah a patuep teh rungngangnae hah sumluhuem lah a kâmuk. Moipathungnae hoi a kamthoup teh, lungthahmeinae angkidung hah a kho.
18 As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
A tawk a sak awh e patetlah aphu a hmu awh han. Ama ka taran e naw koe a lungkhueknae hah tarannaw ni khang han a kamcu e patetlah moi a pathung awh han.
19 And they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
BAWIPA e min teh kanîloumlah hoi a taki awh vaiteh, a bawilennae hah kanîtho lahoi a taki awh han. Tarannaw teh tuikalen patetlah a tho navah, BAWIPA e Muitha ni ama hoi kâtaran lah a ngang han.
20 And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord.
Zion vah ka ratangkung, Jakop kâtapoenae kamlang takhai naw koe a tho han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
21 This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Het hah doeh, ahnimouh hoi kaie lawkkam e teh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Na lathueng kaawm e ka Muitha hoi na pahni dawk ka hruek e ka lawk ni, na pahni thoseh, na catounnaw e pahni thoseh, na catounnaw e pahni thoseh, atu hoi a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh tâcawt takhai mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
