Isaiah 55
1 Come, everyone of you who's thirsty, come and drink the water! You who don't have money, come—you can buy and eat! Come and buy wine and milk—you don't need money; there's no cost!
Anunae tui aka hal boeih loh tui taengla cet lah. A taengah tangka aka om pawt long khaw paan lah. Lai lamtah ca van. Cet lamtah misur neh suktui te tangka nen pawt akhaw a phu nen pawt akhaw lai lah.
2 Why are you spending money on what isn't food, and why work for something that doesn't satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: eat what is good, and you'll enjoy the very best food.
Buh pawt mai ah tangka na thuek thil te ba ham nim? Na thaphu khaw na daeng a cungnah hae moenih. Kamah taengkah he hnatun, hnatun lamtah a then te ca uh. Na hinglu kah maehhloi nen khaw a pang a dok bitni.
3 Come here, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I'm going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed to David.
Na hna duen lamtah kai taengah pongpa lah. Ya van lamtah na hinglu te hing van saeh. David kah sitlohnah aka tangnah nangmih rhoek taengah kumhal paipi ka saii ni.
4 See how I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for them.
Anih te namtu kah laipai rhaengsang neh namtu rhoek aka uen la ka khueh coeng he.
5 You will call nations you don't even know, and nations who don't know you will come running to you. For the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, I made you glorious.
Namtom na ming pawt loh ng'khue vetih namtom na ming pawt khaw nang taengla ha yong uh pawn ni ke. BOEIPA na Pathen neh Israel kah a cim loh nang n'cam coeng.
6 Look for the Lord while you can still find him; call out to him while he's nearby.
Amah hmuh ham koi vaengah BOEIPA toem uh. A yoei la a om vaengah amah te khue uh.
7 Wicked people should change their ways and get rid of even the thought of doing something wrong. They should turn to the Lord so he can be merciful to them. Come back to our God, because he's generous with his forgiveness.
Halang loh amah khosing, boethae hlang loh a kopoek te hnoo saeh lamtah BOEIPA taengla mael saeh. Mamih kah Pathen taengah tah khodawkngai ham a puh sak vetih, anih te a haidam bitni.
8 For your thoughts are not my thoughts; and your ways are not my ways, declares the Lord.
Ka kopoek he nangmih kopoek moenih, na khosing te ka khosing moenih. BOEIPA olphong ni.
9 In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Vaan ke diklai lakah sang tih ka khosing khaw na khosing lakah sang tangloeng. Ka kopoek khaw nangmih kopoek lakah dung.
10 It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower and food to eat.
Vaan lamkah khonal neh vuelsong a suntlak phoeiah pahoi a mael moenih. Diklai te a sulpuem sak tih a cun phoeiah sul a duei sak. Te dongah lo aka tawn ham cangti neh caak ham buh a paek.
11 In the same way the words I say don't come back to me unfulfilled, they accomplish what I want—they successfully achieve my purpose.
Ka ol aka om tangtae ka ka lamkah aka thoeng he kai taengah kuttling la ha mael mahpawh. Ka ngaih te a saii vetih ka tueih a thaihtak sak ni.
12 You will live happily, taught the ways of peace. Mountains and hills will celebrate, singing beside you; and all the trees will clap their hands!
Kohoenah neh na hlah uh vetih ngaimongnah neh n'khuen bitni. Tlang neh som te na mikhmuh ah tamlung neh rhong uh ni. Khohmuen kah thing boeih khaw kut a paeng uh ni.
13 Cypress trees will grow instead of thorn bushes; myrtle trees will grow instead of brambles. This is to confirm the Lord's reputation—an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.
Tangtii yueng la hmaical khawk ding vetih sakoeih hling yueng la cuihal thing khawk ding ni. BOEIPA ham kumhal miknoek la a ming om vetih phae voel mahpawh.
