Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.
Hat hnin vah, Judah ram dawk hete la heh a sak awh han. Kaimouh koe kacakpounge kho ao. Rungngangnae rapannaw hoi kânguenae na poe han.
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation that keepeth faithfulness may enter in.
Yuemkamcu e tamikalan miphun a kâen nahanelah, kho longkhanaw hah paawng awh haw.
3 The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace; because it trusteth in Thee.
BAWIPA ni ama kâuep ni teh a lung kathounge naw hah ka kuep e lungmawngnae thungvah, a khetyawt han.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever, for the LORD is GOD, an everlasting Rock.
BAWIPA hah poe kâuep awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jehovah Cathut teh kangning e lungsong doeh.
5 For He hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground, bringing it even to the dust.
Ahni teh, a rasangnae hmuen, ka talue e kho dawk kaawm e naw hah a pabo han. Hote kho hah a rahnoum sak han. Hote kho hah rahnoum sak vaiteh, vaiphu dawk a ta han.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
Khok ni khopui a coungroe han. Mathoenaw e khok, a thakatawnnaw e khok ni a coungroe han.
7 The way of the just is straight; Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.
Tami kalannaw e lamthung teh a lan. Oe kalan e BAWIPA, nama ni, tami kalannaw e lamthung hah na lan sak.
8 Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for Thee; to Thy name and to Thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
Oe BAWIPA kaimouh teh, nange lawkcengnae lamthung dawk nang hah na ring awh. Na min hoi pahnimhoehnae teh, ka muitha ni a doun e lah ao.
9 With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Tangmin vah ka muitha ni Bawipa nang na doun. Ka muitha ni ka thungvah, Bawipa nang na tawng. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai dawk lawkcengnae ao toteh, talaivan kaawm e naw ni lannae hah a kamtu awh han.
10 Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Tamikathoutnaw teh, hawinae a hmu awh nakunghai, lannae kamtu thai awh hoeh. Ahni teh, lannae ram dawk patenghai kathout hno hah a sak awh teh, BAWIPA e taluenae hah banglahai ngai awh hoeh.
11 LORD, Thy hand was lifted up, yet they see not; they shall see with shame Thy zeal for the people; yea, fire shall devour Thine adversaries.
Oe BAWIPA, na kut hah na dâw eiteh, ahnimouh ni hmawt awh hoeh. Na miphunnaw hanelah, na lung patawnae hah ahnimouh patue nateh yeirai phawt sak haw. Na tarannaw hoi kâkuen e hmai ni ahnimouh teh, kang naseh.
12 LORD, Thou wilt establish peace for us; for Thou hast indeed wrought all our works for us.
Oe BAWIPA, nang ni kaimanaw hah lungmawngnae na poe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh hanelah nang ni na sak e seng doeh.
13 O LORD our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.
Kaimae BAWIPA Cathut, nang hloilah alouke bawipanaw ni kaimouh teh na uk awh toe. Hatei, nange na min duengdoeh kaimouh ni ka pâkuem awh.
14 The dead live not, the shades rise not; to that end hast Thou punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Ahnimouh teh a due awh toe. Bout hring awh mahoeh toe. Ka dout e lah ao awh dawkvah, thaw awh mahoeh toe. Hatdawkvah, Bawipa, tho nateh, ahnimanaw hah raphoe nateh, bout pâkuem kawi pueng hah raphoe pouh haw.
15 Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O LORD, yea, exceeding great honour with the nations; Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.
Bawipa nang ni, nama e miphun na pung sak toe. Oe BAWIPA nang ni nama e miphun na pung sak teh, lentoenae na kamnue toe. Ramrinaw hai na pakaw toe.
16 LORD, in trouble have they sought Thee, silently they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
Oe BAWIPA, runae kâhmo toteh, nang koe ahnimouh teh a tho awh. Nang ni ahnimouh na yue toteh, a ratoum awh.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been at Thy presence, O LORD.
Oe BAWIPA, camovawn e napui ni, camo khe hnin a hnai toteh, a pataw dawkvah a hram e patetlah kaimouh hai nange hmalah hot patetlah ka o awh.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the land; neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life.
Kaimouh teh camo ka vawn awh niteh, patawnae puenghoi ka khang awh ei nakunghai, kahlî doeh ka khe awh. Kaimouh teh talai van vah, hloutnae hah ka tâcawt sak thai awh hoeh. Talaivan kaawm naw hai rawm awh hoeh.
19 Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise — awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust — for Thy dew is as the dew of light, and the earth shall bring to life the shades.
Bawipa nange tami kadout naw teh a hring awh han. Ahnimae tak teh a thaw awh han. Vaiphu dawk kaawm e naw, kâhlaw hoi thaw awh vaiteh, lunghawi la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa nange tadamtui teh, angnae tadamtui patetlah ao teh, talai ni hai kadout e naw hah a khe han.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Ka taminaw tho awh. Namamae rakhan thung kâen awh nateh, na hnuklah tho hah taren awh haw. A lungkhueknae a roum totouh, dongdeng kâhrawk awh.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place to visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni talai van kaawm e naw hah, a yonae patetlah runae poe hanelah, ama onae koehoi a tâco. Hat toteh, talai ni amae van rabawk e thi hah a pâpho han. Talai dawk thei lah kaawm e naw hah bout ramuk thai mahoeh toe.
