Isaiah 58
1 Give a roar from the throat! Don't hold back! Shout out like a trumpet! Announce to my people how rebellious they are; denounce to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
Tha hoi hang ah, na lok to paquem hmah; mongkah tuen baktiah hang ah; kai ih kaminawk khaeah sakpazaehaih to thui paeh loe, Jakob imthung takoh khaeah zaehaihnawk to amtuengsak ah.
2 Every day they come to me, pleased to know my ways as if they were a nation that does what is right and follow the laws of their God! They ask me to treat them right; they like to be close to their God.
Nihcae loe toenghaih sah kami, angmacae Sithaw mah thuih ih lok pahnawt ai kami ah oh o baktih toengah, ni thokkruek kai ang pakrong o; kai ih loklam katoeng to panoek han koeh o; toenghaih loklamnawk to ang dueng o moe, Sithaw khaeah anghnaihaih to a koeh o.
3 “Didn't you see that we fasted?” they ask. “Didn't you notice how we denied ourselves?” That's because whenever you fast you still do whatever you want, and you treat your workers badly.
Tipongah buhzahhaih ka sak o naah, nang khen ai loe? Tipongah pakhra patanghaih hoiah ka oh o naah, nang dawncang ai loe? tiah na thuih o, khenah, buhzahhaih niah na tamnanawk to angpho qawt ah tok na sak o sak moe, nangmacae loe kanawm ah na oh o.
4 Can't you see that when you're fasting you quarrel and argue, and end up having a vicious fist-fight? When you fast like this you can't expect your prayers to be heard on high!
Khenah, nangcae loe lok angaekhaih, ban pathluem moe, maeto hoi maeto angbohhaih hoiah buhzahhaih to na sak o; nangcae ih lok to hmuensang hoiah thaih hanah, vaihni ah na sak o ih buhzahhaih baktiah buh na zaa o han om ai.
5 Is this the kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?
Kami maeto loe buhzah moe, poek patanghaih hoiah oh, anih loe phroh kazai baktiah zai sut moe, kazii to angzaeng hoi maiphu nuiah angsong sut, to tiah ohhaih ani to maw ka koeh ih buhzahhaih ah oh? To tiah sakhaih loe Angraeng mah tapom koi buhzahhaih ah oh, tiah thui thai tih maw?
6 No, this is the fast I want: set free those who have been unjustly imprisoned, untie the cords of the yoke used to burden people, set free those who are oppressed, and get rid of every form of abuse.
Ka qoih ih buhzahhaih loe, Sethaih qui hoiah kangzaeng kaminawk to khramh pae moe, hmuenzit amtiksak meo, pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to loisak pacoengah, tahnong ih quinawk khram paehaih to na ai maw?
7 Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house. When you see people naked, give them clothes, and don't reject your own relatives.
Zok amthlam kaminawk to buh pacah moe, ohhaih ahmuen tawn ai amtang kaminawk hanah ohhaih ahmuen paek pacoengah, khukbuen tawn ai kaminawk hanah khukbuen paek moe, aimah ih acaengnawk angqoi taak ving ai ah khosakhaih hae na ai maw?
8 Then your light will shine out like the dawn, and you will be healed quickly; your salvation will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will go behind you.
To tiah ni na aanghaih loe akhawnbang ih ni aengh baktiah tacawt ueloe, karangah ngan na tui tih; na toenghaih to na hmaa ah caeh ueloe, Angraeng lensawkhaih mah hnukbang hoiah na pakaa tih.
9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out for help, the Lord will say, “I'm here.” If you get rid of oppression among you, if you stop pointing the finger and slandering others,
To tiah na sak nahaeloe na kawkhaih lok to Angraeng mah pathim tih; na hangh naah, haeah Ka oh, tiah na naa tih. Minawk pacaekthlaekhaih tongh kaminawk ih hmuenzit to na khring pae, ban pazung hoi takhih moe, kasae thuihaihnawk to nang hmatsak,
10 if you dedicate yourselves to helping the hungry and give the poor what they need, then your light will shine out in the darkness, and your night will be like the sun at noon.
zok amthlam kaminawk hoi pakhra patangkhang kaminawk ih angaihaihnawk to paek pacoengah, tahmenhaih palung na tawnh nahaeloe, vinghaih thungah na aanghaih to tacawt ueloe, na vinghaih loe athun ih ni aengh baktiah om tih boeh.
11 The Lord will always lead you; he will give you all you need in you in a desolate land; he will make you strong again. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry.
Nang loe Angraeng mah na caeh haih poe tih, zok amthlam naah zok amhahsak ueloe, na huhongnawk to thacaksak tih; nang loe tui paek ih dum baktiah om ueloe, tui kang vai ai tuipuek baktiah na om tih.
12 Some among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore generations-old foundations. You will be called the Repairer of the Break in the Wall, the Restorer of Life's Pathways.
Na caengnawk mah canghnii hoiah kapong sut ahmuen amaenawk to pakhraih o let ueloe, canghnii hoi kaom im sakhaih ahmuennawk to raemh o let tih; to naah nang loe kamro tapangnawk pakraih kami, kami ohhaih loklamnawk sah let kami, tiah kawk o tih.
13 If you make sure you don't break the Sabbath by doing whatever you please on my holy day, if you say the Sabbath brings you pleasure and the Lord's day is to be honored, and if you honor it by leaving aside your own ways, by not doing whatever you please, and by avoiding everyday chatting,
Ciimcai kai ih ani ah, na koehhaih bangah na caeh ai, Sabbath ni to kahoih ah na zah, Sabbath ni loe koeh koi kaom ciimcai Angraeng ih niah oh pongah, pakoeh han oh, tiah na thuih; na koehhaih loklam ah na caeh ai, na koeh to na pakrong ai, na koeh ih lok doeh apae ai ah na oh moe, to ni to khingzahaih na paek nahaeloe,
14 then you'll find the Lord is the one who truly makes you happy, and I will give you high positions on the earth and give you what I promised to Jacob, your forefather. I, the Lord, have spoken.
Angraeng ah anghoehaih na tawn tih; long nui ih hmuensang koekah kang ohsak moe, nam pa Jakob ih qawk hoiah kang com han, tiah Angraeng ih pakha mah thuih.
