< Isaiah 65 >

1 I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
Kai aka dawt pawt rhoek loh kai n'toem aka tlap pawt loh m'hmuh coeng. Kai ming aka khue noek pawh namtom taengah, “Kai ni he, kai ni he,” ka ti nah.
2 I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
A kopoek hnukah a then pawt la longpuei aka vai pilnam thinthah taengah khohnin yung ah ka kut ka phuel.
3 These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
Ka mikhmuh ah kai aka veet tih dum ah aka ngawn nainoe neh ka laiboeng dongah aka phum.
4 They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
Phuel ah kho aka sa tih rhalrhing neh aka rhaeh, ok saa neh maehhang te a am dongah dikyik dikyak la a sok.
5 They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
“Nang te khoem uh laeh, kai taengla ha mop boeh,” aka ti rhoek aw he hmaikhu, khohnin yung kah hmai aka rhong neh ka hnarhong khuiah nan hawth uh.
6 Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
Ka mikhmuh ah a daek tangtae coeng ni he, ka ngam mahpawh. Amih kah rhang dongah ka thuung rhoe ka thuung ni.
7 I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
Nangmih kah thaesainah neh na pa rhoek kah thaesainah khaw BOEIPA loh rhenten a thui coeng. Tlang ah a phum tih som ah kai m'veet uh. Te dongah a thaphu te amamih kah rhang dongah lamhma la ka loeng pah ni.
8 This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
Thaihsu khuikah misur thai te a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. “A khuiah a yoethennah dongah anih te phae boeh,” a ti. Boeih a phae pawt hamni ka sal rhoek ham ka saii tangloeng eh.
9 I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
Jakob lamkah a tiingan neh ka tlang aka pang ham te Judah lamloh ka thoeng sak ni. Te te ka coelh rhoek loh a pang uh vetih te ah te ka sal rhoek loh kho a sak uh ni.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
Kai aka toem ka pilnam ham tah Sharon te boiva kah tolkhoeng la, Akor kol saelhung kah a kolhmuen la om ni.
11 But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
Tedae nangmih tah BOEIPA aka hnoo, ka tlang cim aka hnilh, Yoekam ham caboei aka phaih, Meni ham yu aka doh,
12 I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
nangmih te cunghang neh kan tae thil vetih nangmih te maeh la boeih na koisu uh ni. Kang khue lalah nan doo pawh. Ka thui lalah na hnatun pawt tih ka mikhmuh ah a thae na saii. Te dongah na tuek vaengah te ka ngaih rhoe moenih.
13 So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Ka sal rhoek loh a caak uh vaengah nangmih tah na lamlum uh ni he. Ka sal rhoek loh a ok uh vaengah na halthi uh ni he. Ka sal rhoek loh ko a hoe uh vaengah nangmih tah yah na poh uh ni he.
14 Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
Ka sal rhoek te lungbuei thennah neh a tamhoe uh vaengah nangmih tah lungbuei thakkhoeihnah na pang uh vetih mueihla pocinah neh na rhung uh ni.
15 Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
Nangmih ming tah ka coelh rhoek taengah olhlo la kap vetih nang te ka Boeipa Yahovah loh n'duek sak ni. Tedae a sal rhoek te ming a tloe neh a khue ni.
16 Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
Diklai ah aka uem te tah Amen Pathen loh a uem vetih diklai ah aka toemngam tah Amen Pathen loh a toemngam ni. Hnukbuet kah citcai te a hnilh uh vetih ka mikhmuh ah thuh uh ni.
17 Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
Vaan thai neh diklai thai ka suen coeng he. Lamhma te poek uh voel pawt vetih lungbuei ah khaw cuen voel mahpawh.
18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
Tedae lat ngaingaih uh lamtah kai loh ka suen te a yoeyah la omngaih puei uh. Kai loh Jerusalem kah omngaihnah neh a pilnam kah omthennah te ka suen coeng.
19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
Jerusalem soah ka omngaih vetih ka pilnam soah ka ngaingaih bal ni. A khuiah rhah ol neh pang ol n'yaak voel mahpawh.
20 No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
Te ah tah a kum aka cahni neh a kum aka soep mueh patong khaw koep om mahpawh. Camoe khaw kum yakhat ca thoeng ah duek ni. Tedae kum yakhat ca thoeng duela lai aka hmu tah thae a phoei thil ni.
21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
Im a sak uh vetih kho a sak uh ni. Misur a phung uh vetih a thaih a caak uh ni.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
A sak uh phoeiah tah a tloe loh khosak thil mahpawh. A phung phoeiah a tloe loh ca mahpawh. Ka pilnam kah kum he thingkung kah kum bangla om vetih a kut kah bitat te ka coelh rhoek loh a hmawn puei ni.
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
A poeyoek la kohnue uh pawt vetih lungmitnah la ca cun uh mahpawh. Amih kah tiingan neh a taengkah a cadil cahma khaw BOEIPA kah yoethen a paek rhoek ni.
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
Om ngawn bitni, ng'khue uh hlanah khaw kai loh ka doo ni. A thui uh li vaengah kai loh ka yaak pawn ni.
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
Uithang neh tuca te pakhat la luem rhoi ni. Sathueng loh saelhung bangla cangkong a caak ni. Rhul tah laipi te a buh nah vetih thaehuet mahpawh, ka tlang cim tom ah phop uh voel mahpawh.
