Isaiah 43
1 But now this is what the Lord says to Jacob, the one who created you; to Israel, the one who formed you: “Don't be afraid! I have saved you! I have called you by name; you are mine!
Hatei, atuteh Oe Jakop nangmouh kasakkung hoi, Oe Isarel nangmouh kapâkhuengkung Jehovah ni telah ati, taket awh hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh na ratang awh toe, na min lahoi na kaw awh teh kaie lah doeh na o awh toe.
2 When you walk through the water, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they won't flood over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you on fire.
Tui na raka awh nahaiyah nangmouh koe ka o vaiteh, tuipui na raka nahai na pâyawt awh mahoeh. Hmai dawk na cei awh nakunghai na kang awh mahoeh. Hmaipalai ni hai na kang awh mahoeh.
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for your freedom; I traded Ethiopia and Seba for you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh nangmae Jehovah na Cathut, Isarel Tami Kathoung, nangmouh ka rungngangkung doeh. Nangmouh ratang hanelah, Izipnaw koe na poe teh, Ethiopia hoi Sheba nangmae yueng lah ka poe.
4 Because you are so valuable to me, because I honor you, and because I love you, I give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your lives.
Ka mithmu vah ka talue poung e lah na o awh teh, bari kawi e lah na o awh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh na ban thai awh nahanelah tami na poe vaiteh, na hringnae kâthung nahanelah tamihu na poe han.
5 Don't be afraid, for I am with you! I will bring you and your children from the east and the west, and gather you together.
Taket awh hanh, nangmouh koe ka o, na catounnaw hah kanîtho koehoi ka thokhai vaiteh, kanîloumlah hoi ka pâkhueng han.
6 I will tell the north, ‘Hand them over!’ and the south, ‘Don't stop them!’ Bring my sons back from far away and my daughters from distant lands.
Atunglah pou thak awh ka ti vaiteh, akalah katek awh hanh lawih telah ka ti pouh han. Ka capa hah ahlapoungnae koehoi thokhai awh, ka canu hah talai poutnae koehoi thokhai awh.
7 Bring back everyone who bears my name, those I created for my honor, those I formed and made.
Ka min lahoi ka kaw e tami pueng hoi, ka lentoe nahanelah ka sak e tamipueng teh thokhai awh haw telah ka ti han.
8 Bring back those who have eyes but are blind, those who have ears but are deaf.
Mit tawn eiteh mitdawnnaw hoi hnâ tawn eiteh hnâpangnaw kai koe thokhai awh.
9 Have all the nations gather together! Have all the peoples assemble! Who among them could have said this, and predict what was going to happen? Have them bring their witnesses to prove that they're right. Then have them listen, and say, ‘It's true!’
Miphun pueng hoi tamimaya hmuen touh koe kamkhueng awh naseh. Ahnimouh thung dawk apinimaw a pâpho thai teh, ayan e hno hah a hmu sak thai han. Lan sak lah o thai nahanelah, kapanuekkhaikung hah thokhai awh naseh. Telah hoeh nakunghai hnâ hoi thai awh nateh, hethateh lawkkatang doeh tet awh naseh.
10 However, you are my witnesses, the Lord declares, and my chosen servant, so that you can think about it, and believe me and understand that I am God. No god preceded me, and none will come after me.
Na panue awh teh na yuem thai awh nahanelah, kai teh ahni doeh tie na panue thai awh nahanelah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung hoi ka rawi e ka sannaw doeh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ka hmalah sak e thung dawk bangpatet e cathut hai awm hoeh, ka hnuk lahai awm mahoeh.
11 I, yes I am the Lord, and there is no Savior apart from me.
Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai laipateh rungngangkung alouke awm hoeh.
12 I predicted what was going to happen, then I saved you, then I announced it—there was no foreign god among you that did this. You are my witnesses that I am God, declares the Lord.
Kama ni ka dei teh ka rungngang, na panue sak dawk nangmouh rahak cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Hatdawkvah, nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh telah BAWIPA ni ati. Kai teh Cathut doeh.
13 I am God from the beginning. No one can snatch anybody from my hand. No one can reverse what I do.
Ahnintha ao hoehnahlan kai teh ahni doeh. Ka kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thaikung apihai awm hoeh. Ka sak hnukkhu apinimaw a rakhout thai han.
14 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: For your sake I will send attackers against Babylon and bring them down. All the Babylonians will be like fugitives, escaping in the ships they're so proud of.
Isarelnaw e Kathoung Poung, nangmouh karatangkung BAWIPA ni telah a dei, nangmouh kecu dawk Babilon kho dawk ransa ka patoun, hottelah abuemlah hoi Khaldean taminaw, a lunghawinae long dawk kayawngnaw a ceikhai e patetlah na ceikhai awh.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.
Kai teh, Jehovah, nangmae Tami Kathoung, Isarel kasakkung, nangmae siangpahrang doeh.
16 This is what the Lord says, the one who makes a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters;
Tuipui dawk lamthung ka sak niteh, athakaawme tuinaw dawk lamthung ka sak e,
17 the one who brought out a great army with it horses and chariots and lay them down, never to rise again, snuffed out like a burning wick.
athakaawme tami, rangleng hoi marangnaw ka cetkhai niteh, bout thaw thai hoeh nahanelah karawmsakkung, hmaiim padue e patetlah karoumsakkung BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
18 But don't dwell on the past; don't concentrate on what happened back then.
hnuk lae naw bout pouk hanh lawih, ayan e naw na lungthin dawk tat awh hanh leih.
19 Just look at something new I'm going to do now! In fact it's started already. Can't you see it? Yes, I'm making a way through the wilderness, rivers in the desert!
Thai awh haw, hno katha ka sak han. Atu roeroe kamnue han. Nangmouh ni na panue katang han. Ramke lam ka sak vaiteh, thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak han.
20 The wild animals will be grateful to me, the jackals and the owls, because I'm providing water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, so my people, my chosen people, can drink.
Kahrawng e sarang, kahrawnguinaw, hoi kalaukva ni kai na bari han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rawi e taminaw ni a nei awh hane ramke vah tui ka poe teh thingyeiyawn dawk tui ka lawng sak.
21 I made this people for myself so that through their praise for me they could make me known.
Kama hanelah ka pâkhueng e taminaw ni ka pholennae a kamnue sak awh han.
22 But you haven't called on me for help, Jacob. You've grown tired of me, Israel.
Hateiteh Oe Jakop, nangmouh ni na kaw awh hoeh. Oe Isarel, nangmouh ni kai na hmawtcei awh.
23 You haven't brought me sheep for burnt offerings; you haven't honored me with your sacrifices. I haven't burdened you by asking for grain offerings; I haven't tired you out by demanding incense.
Hmaisawi thuengnae tu hah kai koe na thokhai awh hoeh. Thuengnae lahoi kai na pholen awh hoeh. Hnopoenae lahoi hnori na phawt sak boihoeh. Hmuitui hoi nangmanaw tha na tawn sak boihoeh.
24 You haven't used your money to buy scented calamus; you have not pleased me with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead you have burdened me with your sins, and tired me out with your guilt.
Hmuitui kacinge hah tangka hoi na ran pouh boihoeh, thuengnae sathei thaw hoi kai ka lung na kuep sak boihoeh. Yonnae phu phu hanelah thaw letlang na tawk sak, lam vah thoesaknae lahoi kai letlang na tawn sak awh.
25 I, yes I am the God who wipes out your sins because of who I am, and who doesn't remember your sins any more.
Kai kama roeroe ni doeh kama hanelah nangmae kâ na tapoenae naw na takhoe pouh. Nangmae yonnae ka pouk mahoeh toe.
26 Remind me of the evidence so we can come to a decision together! Present your case to prove that you're right!
Na kapanuekkhaikung, pouk awh haw sei. Na lan awh nahanelah, na lawk dei awh haw.
27 Your very first father sinned, and your leaders rebelled against me.
Hmaloe e na pa ni, yon a sak teh, laiceinaw ni kâtapoe laihoi kai na taran awh.
28 So I treated the priests of the sanctuary with contempt, and I handed Jacob over to be destroyed, and Israel to be scorned.”
Hatdawkvah, hmuen kathoung koe e kacuenaw, kakhin sak han, Jakop hah thoebo hanelah ka poe vaiteh, Isarelnaw pacekpahleknae khang hanelah ka pahnawt toe.
