Isaiah 52
1 Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh Zion nang loh sarhi tak sak. Khopuei cim Jerusalem nang boeimang himbai bai laeh. Na khuiah aka pawk ham pumdul neh rhalawt loh n'koei voel mahpawh.
2 Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Laipi te khoek laeh. Jerusalem aw thoo lamtah ngol laeh. Zion nu tamna aw na rhawn kah kuelrhui te hlam rhoe hlam laeh.
3 This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “A yoeyap la n'yoih uh tih tangka mueh lam ni n'tlan uh eh,” a ti.
4 This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Lamhma ah tah ka pilnam loh Egypt ah bakuep pahoi ham suntla tih Assyria loh lungli lungla la anih te a hnaemtaek.
5 What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
Tahae ah ba aih nim kai tloe tah, menim kai ham tah BOEIPA kah olphong lah ve? Ka pilnam te poeyoek la a khuen coeng. Anih aka taem la aka taem rhoek tah rhung uh coeng. BOEIPA kah olphong dae ta, nainoe taitu la hnin takuem ah kai ming a tlaitlaek.
6 So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
Ka ming he ka pilnam loh ming tangloeng saeh. Tekah khohnin ah kamah loh, “Kai ni he,” ka ti tangloeng coeng.
7 What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Rhoepnah aka phong tih aka yaak sak, a then aka phong tih khangnah aka yaak sak, Zion taengah, “Na Pathen tah manghai coeng,” aka ti nah kah a khokan tah tlang soah khaw damyal tangkik mai.
8 The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
Na rhaltawt rhoek kah ol tah ol pakhat la huek a huel uh tih tamhoe uh. BOEIPA te Zion la a mael vaengah tah a mik, mik ah so uh thae ni.
9 Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
Jerusalem imrhong rhoek tun pang uh lamtah tamhoe uh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam a hloep tih Jerusalem a tlan coeng.
10 The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
Namtom boeih kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh a ban cim te a lam vetih diklai khobawt ah mamih Pathen kah khangnah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
11 Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
Nong uh laeh, nong uh lamtah te lamloh coe uh laeh. Rhalawt te ben boeh, a khui lamloh nong laeh. BOEIPA kah hnopai aka phuei long tah meet uh.
12 But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
Tokrhat la coe boel lamtah yonglong khaw hmaai boeh. Nangmih mikhmuh ah aka cet BOEIPA neh Israel Pathen loh nang ng'khoem ta.
13 Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
Ka sal loh a cangbam bitni. Amah te a pomsang vetih a ludoeng vaengah bahoeng sang bitni.
14 But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
Nang taengah muep a hal uh vanbangla a hmuethma khaw hlang lakah, a suisak hlang ca rhoek lakah poeih uh tangloeng coeng.
15 He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
Namtom rhoek khaw anih kongah a haeh muep vetih manghai rhoek loh a ka a buem uh ni. Amih taengah a doek pah pawt te khaw a hmuh uh vetih a yaak uh noek pawt te a yakming uh ni.
