Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, will your God say.
Hloep uh pai, ka pilnam he hloep uh pai. Na Pathen loh,
2 Speake comfortably to Ierusalem, and crye vnto her, that her warrefare is accomplished, that her iniquitie is pardoned: for she hath receiued of the Lords hand double for all her sinnes.
Jerusalem te a lungbuei ah thui pah lamtah amah taengah hoe pah. Amah kah thaesainah moeithen pah ham a caempuei khaw cung coeng. A tholhnah cungkuem ham te rhaepnit la BOEIPA kut a yook.
3 A voyce cryeth in the wildernesse, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make streight in the desert a path for our God.
Khosoek kah pang ol dongah BOEIPA kah longpuei rhoekbah uh. Mamih Pathen ham longpuei te kolken duela dueng sak uh.
4 Euery valley shall be exalted, and euery mountaine and hill shall be made lowe: and the crooked shalbe streight, and the rough places plaine.
Kolrhawk khaw boeih nolh saeh lamtah tlang som boeih khaw kunyun sak uh laeh. Cangngok te tlangtlae la, ngoemngak te khaw kolbawn la om saeh.
5 And the glory of the Lord shalbe reueiled, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
BOEIPA kah a ka loh a thui coeng dongah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah te phoe vetih pumsa ah thikat la boeih a hmuh uh ni.
6 A voyce saide, Crie. And he saide, What shall I crie? All flesh is grasse, and all the grace thereof is as the floure of the fielde.
Ol long tah pang dae a ti tih a thui coeng. Balae ka pang thil eh? Pumsa boeih he sulrham banghui ni, pumsa kah sitlohnah boeih khaw lohma kah tamlaep pai banghui mai ni.
7 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth, because the Spirite of the Lord bloweth vpon it: surely the people is grasse.
Sulrham khaw rhae tih tamlaep pai tloih. Pilnam khaw BOEIPA kah a hil loh sulrham bangla a yawn taktak.
8 The grasse withereth, the floure fadeth: but the worde of our God shall stand for euer.
Sulrham he rhae tih rhaipai loh rhul mai cakhaw mamih Pathen kah olka tah kumhal duela pai.
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee vp into the hie mountaine: O Ierusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift vp thy voyce with strength: lift it vp, be not afraide: say vnto the cities of Iudah, Beholde your God.
Zion ham aka phong loh na tlang sang la luei lah. Jerusalem ham aka phong khaw na thadueng ol neh pomsang lah. Rhih boeh pomsang laeh. Judah khopuei rhoek taengah, “Nangmih kah Pathen la he,” ti nah.
10 Beholde, the Lord God will come with power, and his arme shall rule for him: beholde, his rewarde is with him, and his worke before him,
Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah a tlungluen neh ha pawk tih a bantha loh anih ham a taemrhai pah coeng ke. A thapang khaw amah taengah, a thaphu khaw a mikhmuh ah om coeng ke.
11 He shall feede his flocke like a shepheard: he shall gather the lambes with his arme, and cary them in his bosome, and shall guide them with young.
Amah kah tuping aka dawn bangla a ban neh a luem sak. Tuca rhoek te a coi tih a rhang dongah a poem. Cacun khaw a khool bal.
12 Who hath measured the waters in his fist? and counted heauen with the spanne, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure? and weighed ye mountaines in a weight, and the hilles in a balance?
A kutpha dongah tui aka loeng, vaan te khap at la aka khap tih diklai laipi khaw baelpuei dongah aka hluem, tlang neh som boeih khaw cooi dongah coilung pakhat neh aka thuek te unim?
13 Who hath instructed ye Spirit of the Lord? or was his counseler or taught him?
BOEIPA kah mueihla aka noem tih a cilsuep neh anih aka ming sak hlang te unim?
14 Of whom tooke he counsell, and who instructed him and taught him in the way of iudgement? or taught him knowledge, and shewed vnto him the way of vnderstanding?
Anih aka uen tih aka yakming sak khaw, tiktamnah caehlong neh anih aka cang tih mingnah longpuei neh aka cang, anih te lungcuei aka ming sak te unim te?
15 Beholde, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the dust of the balance: beholde, he taketh away the yles as a litle dust.
Namtom rhoek khaw tuiduen dongkah tuicip bangla, cooi dongkah khomong bangla a ngai uh ke ni. Sanglak boeih khaw khonuei bangla a yaal.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient for fire, nor the beastes thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Lebanon pataeng toih rhoeh pawt tih a mulhing hmueihhlutnah la rhoeh pawh.
17 All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him, lesse then nothing, and vanitie.
Namtom boeih khaw amah hmaikah pawt bangla poei-oep lakah khaw amah rhangneh hinghong la ngai uh.
18 To whom then wil ye liken God? or what similitude will ye set vp vnto him?
Te dongah Pathen te u taengah nim na lutlat sak vetih amah te mebang nen nim phek na tluk sak uh eh?
19 The workeman melteth an image, or the goldsmith beateth it out in golde, or the goldesmith maketh siluer plates.
Mueithuk te kutthai loh a hloe tih sui aka dung loh sui neh a nulh thil. Cak rhui nen khaw a cam.
20 Doeth not the poore chuse out a tree that will not rot, for an oblation? he seeketh also vnto him a cunning workeman, to prepare an image, that shall not be moued.
Tangkik tanglai loh khocang la thing aka keet pawt te a coelh. Aka tuen pawh mueithuk aka saek ham te kutthai hlangcueih a tlap.
21 Know ye nothing? haue ye not heard it? hath it not bene tolde you from the beginning? haue ye not vnderstand it by the foundation of the earth?
Na ming uh pawt nim? Na ya uh pawt nim? A lu lamloh nangmih taengah thui pawt nim? Diklai kah a yung na yakming uh pawt nim?
22 He sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers, hee stretcheth out ye heauens, as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out, as a tent to dwell in.
Diklai kueluek soah aka ngol tih tangku bangla kho aka sa, vaan te tihil bangla aka cuet, khosa ham dap bangla aka yaai pah la om.
23 He bringeth the princes to nothing, and maketh the iudges of the earth, as vanitie,
Boeica rhoek te a hong taengla aka pae neh diklai kah laitloek rhoek te hinghong la a khueh.
24 As though they were not plated, as though they were not sowen, as though their stocke tooke no roote in the earth: for he did euen blow vpon them, and they withered, and the whirlewinde will take them away as stubble.
A phung uh pawt tih a soem uh pawt hmanah a ngo khaw diklai ah saicin bal pawh. Te dongah amih te phawn a hmuh vaengah tah koh pahoi tih hlipuei loh divawt bangla a khuen.
25 To whom nowe will ye liken me, that I should be like him, saith the Holy one?
Te dongah kai naka puet tih A Cim neh ka vanat aka ti te unim?
26 Lift vp your eyes on hie, and beholde who hath created these things, and bringeth out their armies by nomber, and calleth them all by names? by the greatnesse of his power and mightie strength nothing faileth.
Na mik te a sang la dangrhoek lamtah so uh lah. He he aka suen khaw unim? A caempuei a tarhing ah a thoeng sak tih amih te a ming neh boeih a khue. A thahuem khaw cang kahlak tih thadueng neh a om rhapsat coeng dongah hlang pakhat pataeng a hmaai moenih.
27 Why sayest thou, O Iaakob, and speakest O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my iudgement is passed ouer of my God?
Balae tih Jakob nang na cal. Israel sawt long khaw, “Ka longpuei he BOEIPA taeng lamloh thuh uh coeng, ka tiktamnah he ka Pathen loh a poe coeng,” na ti rhailai.
28 Knowest thou not? or hast thou not heard, that the euerlasting God, the Lord hath created the endes of the earth? he neither fainteth, nor is wearie: there is no searching of his vnderstanding.
Na ming het pawt nim? Khosuen Pathen Yahovah na ya noek pawt nim? Diklai bawt aka suen te tawnba pawt tih a kohnue moenih. A lungcuei te khenah om mahpawh.
29 But he giueth strength vnto him that fainteth, and vnto him that hath no strength, he encreaseth power.
Lamlum te thadueng a paek tih thahuem aka khueh pawt te thaomnah a rhoeng sak.
30 Euen the yong men shall faint, and be wearie, and the yong men shall stumble and fall.
Camoe rhoek te tawnba uh tih kohnue uh. Tongpang rhoek khaw a paloe lam ni a paloe uh.
31 But they that waite vpon the Lord, shall renue their strength: they shall lift vp the wings as the eagles: they shall runne, and not be wearie, and they shall walke and not faint.
Tedae BOEIPA aka lamtawn rhoek tah a thadueng sai vetih atha bangla a phae neh luei ni. Yong uh cakhaw kohnue uh mahpawh. Cet thikthuek cakhaw tawnba uh mahpawh,” a ti.
