Isaiah 66
1 This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; van loe kang hnuthaih tangkhang ah oh, long loe ka khok koenghaih ah oh; kai han na sak ih im loe naa ah maw oh? Kang hakhaih ahmuen loe naa ah maw oh?
2 I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
Ka ban mah to baktih hmuennawk to sak pongah, to hmuennawk boih to oh o, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; poek pahnaemhaih palung tawn kami, dawnpakhuem kami, ka lok zithaih tawn kaminawk to ka khetzawn han.
3 When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
Maitaw tae bop kami loe kami hum baktiah ni oh; tuucaa hoi angbawnhaih sah kami loe ui tahnong takroek kami hoiah anghmong; canghum paek kami loe okthii paek kami hoiah anghmong; hmuihoih thlaek kami loe krang han tahamhoihaih paek kami hoiah anghmong. Ue, to kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ih loklam to qoih o, nihcae hinghaih loe panuet kaom hmuen ah kanawm acaeng o.
4 I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
Ka kawk naah mi mah doeh pathim o ai; lok ka thuih naah tahngai o ai; ka hmaa ah sethaih to a sak o moe, ka koeh ai ih hmuen to a qoih o pongah, kai doeh nihcae hanah raihaih to ka qoih pae moe, nihcae nuiah zit kaom hmuen ka phaksak han.
5 Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
Angraeng ih lok zii kaminawk, a lok to tahngai oh; nangcae hnuma moe, ka hmin pongah haek ih nawkamyanawk mah, nangcae anghoehaih to hnuk o hanah, Angraeng loe lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah thuih o; toe nihcae loe azathaih tong o tih.
6 Hear all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back what they deserve.
To lok loe vangpui thung ih hanghaih lok, tempul thung ih lok hoi Angraeng mah a misanawk lulakhaih lok ah oh.
7 She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
Zion canu loe caa tapenhaih kana panoek ai naah tapen boeh; caa tapenhaih kana panoek ai naah capa to tapen boeh.
8 Who has ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into labor, she gave birth to her children.
Mi maw to baktih hmuennawk to thaih vaih? Mi maw to baktih hmuennawk to hnu vaih? Prae loe nito thungah tacawt thaih maw? Prae kaminawk doeh nito thungah nawnto tapen thai boih maw? Toe Zion loe caa tapenhaih kana panoek parai ai ah a caanawk to tapen boeh.
9 Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
Kai mah nawkta ohsak tom naah, tapen ai ah ka ohsak maw? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; zok ka pomsak pacoengah, tapen ai ah ka omsak tih maw? tiah na Sithaw mah thuih.
10 Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns over her.
Jerusalem palung kaminawk, anih hoi nawnto anghoe oh loe poek nawm oh; anih palungsae haih kaminawk, anih hoi nawnto anghoe oh loe, nawm oh.
11 Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
To tiah nahaeloe anih ih monghaih tahnutui to na nae o ueloe, nam hah o tih; tahnutui to na nae o ueloe, pop parai tahnutui longh pongah palung nang hoe o tih, tiah thuih.
12 This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on her knees.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; khenah, monghaih loe anih khaeah vapui baktiah ka longsak moe, Gentel kaminawk lensawkhaih to tui baktiah ka longsak han; tahnutui to na nae o tih, nongpata mah a caa to ban hoiah tapom moe, phaih nuiah pahawnh baktiah na om o tih.
13 Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.
Amno mah a caa pathloep baktiah, nangcae to kang pathloep han; nangcae to Jerusalem ah kang pathloep o han, tiah thuih.
14 When you see this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing his enemies.
Hae hmuen na hnuk o naah nang hoe o ueloe, na huhongnawk doeh kahing phroh baktiah sai tih; Angraeng ih ban loe nihcae khaeah oh, tiah a tamnanawk mah panoek o ueloe, anih palungphuihaih to a misaknawk khaeah amtuengsak tih.
15 Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in flames of fire.
Khenah, Angraeng mah kanung parai palungphuihaih, kangqong hmai hoi thuitaekhaih to amtuengsak hanah, takhi kamhae baktiah kaom hrang lakoknawk to angthueng ueloe, hmai hoiah angzo tih.
16 The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed by the Lord.
Angraeng loe hmai hoi sumsen hoiah kaminawk boih to lokcaek tih; pop parai kaminawk to Angraeng mah hum tih.
17 Those who dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says the Lord.
Okmoi, pazu moi, panuet kaom moi caa kami hoi takha um ih thing maeto hnukbang ah angmacae hoi angmacae ciimcai hanah prae kalah kaminawk ih sithaw bok kaminawk loe, nawnto amro o boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. They will come and see my glory.
Nihcae mah sak o ih tok hoi poekhaihnawk to ka panoek; prae congca kaminawk hoi lok congca apae kaminawk to nawnto ka pakhueng han; to naah nihcae angzo o ueloe, ka lensawkhaih to hnu o tih.
19 I will give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce my glory among the nations.
Nihcae salakah angmathaih to ka suek han, misa ban thung hoiah kaloih kaminawk to prae congca kaminawk, Spain prae Tarshish, Lud, tiah kawk ih Libia kaminawk, Lidia kaminawk (kalii kahhaih bangah ahmin amthang kaminawk) khaeah, Tubal hoi Javan, tiah kawk ih Grik kaminawk, ka tamthanglok thai vai ai, ka lensawkhaih hnu vai ai, angthla parai tuipui thungah kaom kaminawk salakah, ka patoeh han; nihcae mah ka lensawkhaih to Gentel kaminawk khaeah thui o tih.
20 They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng im ah tathlang ih hmuen to ciimcai laom pongah sin o baktih toengah, nihcae mah nam nawknamyanawk to hrang, hrang lakok, laa hrang, mule hrang, tahnogsawk hrang hoiah phaw o ueloe, Angraeng khae paek hanah, prae congca hoiah kai ih kaciim mae Jerusalem ah angzo o haih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
21 I will choose some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
Nihcae thungah thoemto kaminawk to qaima hoi Levi kami ah ka qoih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
22 As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
Ka sak han koi van kangtha hoi long kangtha loe ka hmaa ah oh poe baktih toengah, na caanawk hoi na hmin doeh om poe tih, tiah a thuih.
23 Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, says the Lord.
Kaminawk boih mah kai ang bok o hanah, khrah kangtha kruek, Sabbath ni kruek angzo o tih, tiah Aangraeng mah thuih.
24 They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
Nihcae mah caeh o ueloe, ka nuiah sethaih sah kaminawk ih qok to khen o tih; nihcae kacaa alungh loe dueh mak ai, nihcae kakangh hmai doeh dueh mak ai; nihcae loe kaminawk boih mah panuet ih kami ah om o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
