Isaiah 43

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, thou art Mine.

Toe vaihi loe Aw Jakob, nang sahkung, Aw Israel, nang omsakkung, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Aw Israel zii hmah; kai mah kang krang boeh moe, ahmin hoiah kang kawk boeh; nang loe kai ih hmuen ah ni na oh boeh.

2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Tui nang kat naah doeh, kang oh thuih han; vapui nang kat naah doeh, tui mah na uem mak ai; hmai pongah na caeh naah doeh, na kangh mak ai; hmaipalai mah doeh na kangh mak ai.

3 For I am the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Kai loe nang pahlongkung, nang ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi Ciimcai Israel Sithaw ah ka oh; nang akrang hanah Izip, Ethiopia hoi Seba prae to ka paek.

4 Since thou art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.

Nang loe ka mik hnukah atho kana ah na oh moe, pakoeh koiah na oh; kang palung pongah nang hanah kaminawk to kang paek, na hing hanah acaeng kaminawk kang paek han.

5 Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

Zii hmah; nang hoi nawnto ka oh; na caengnawk to ni angzae bang, niduem bang hoiah ka hoih moe, nawnto ka pakhueng han;

6 I will say to the north: 'Give up,' and to the south: 'Keep not back, bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;

aluek bang hanah, Prawt oh, tiah ka naa moe, aloih bang khaeah, Naeh o caeng hmah; angthla parai ahmuen hoiah ka capanawk to hoi oh loe, ka canunawk to long boenghaih ahmuen hoiah hoi oh, tiah ka thuih pae han.

7 Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.'

Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih kaminawk, ka lensawkhaih amtuengsak han ih ni ka sak moe, ka ohsak, ue, kai mah ni anih to ka sak.

8 The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that have ears.

Mik tawnh o e, mikmaeng kaminawk, naa tawnh o e, naapang kaminawk to angzo o haih ah.

9 All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them hear, and say: 'It is truth.'

Prae kaminawk boih nawnto amkhueng o nasoe, kaminawk angcuu o nasoe; nihcae thungah mi kawbaktih mah maw hae hmuen hae thui ueloe, hmaloe ah kaom hmuennawk to mi mah maw aicae khaeah thui tih? Nihcae loe toeng o, tiah panoek thai hanah, hnukungnawk to angzo o haih nasoe; to tih ai boeh loe lok tahngai o nasoe loe, loktang to thui o nasoe.

10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no God formed, neither shall any be after Me.

Kai loe anih boeh ni, tiah panoek moe, nang tang o pacoengah, kai nang panoek o tangtang thai hanah, nangcae loe kai hnukung, kang qoih o ih tamna ah na oh o, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.

Kai, Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh; Kai ai ah loe pahlongkung om ai.

12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God.

Kai loe thuih moe, ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka pahlong, kamtueng ah doeh ka sak boeh, nangcae salakah prae kalah sithaw to om ai; to pongah nangcae loe Kai hnukung ah na oh o, Kai loe Sithaw ah ka oh.

13 Yea, since the day was I am He, and there is none that can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse it?

Ue, Kai loe ani om ai naah Sithaw ah ka oh boeh; ka ban thung hoi kalomh thaih mi doeh om ai; ka sak ih hmuen hae mi mah maw aek thai tih? tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

14 Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.

Nangcae akrangkung, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; nangcae pongah Babylon ah kami ka patoeh moe, kaproeng Khaldian kaminawk to nihcae amoekhaih palongpui thungah ka kraksak boih han.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, Ciimcai nangcae ih Sithaw, Israel sahkung, nangcae ih Siangpahrang ah ka oh, tiah thuih.

16 Thus saith the LORD, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

Tuipui thungah loklam sahkung, kalen parai tuipui thungah caehhaih lam sahkung,

17 Who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:

hrang lakok hoi hrangnawk, pop parai misatuh kaminawk zaehoikung, nihcae angthawk thaih han ai ah, nawnto amtimsak moe, kadueh hmai baktiah nihcae paduekkung Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih;

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

hnukbang ih hmuennawk to pahnet oh loe, canghnii ih hmuennawk to poek o hmah lai ah.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Khenah, hmuen kangtha ka sak han boeh; vaihi tacawt tahang tih boeh; praezaek ah loklam to ka sak moe, long karoem ahmuen ah tui ka longsak han, tito na panoek o ai maw?

20 The beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;

Ka qoih ih kami, kaimah ih kaminawk to tui paek hanah, praezaek ah tui ka paek moe, long karoem ahmuen ah tui ka longsak pongah, taw ih moisannawk, tasuinawk hoi bukbuhnawk mah kai to pakoeh o tih.

21 The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.

Nihcae mah kai pakoeh o hanah, kaimah ni hae kaminawk hae ka sak.

22 Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself about Me, O Israel.

Toe Aw Jakob, nang mah loe nang kawk ai; Aw Israel, kai hae nang hmawt sut boeh.

23 Thou hast not brought Me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

Kai khaeah hmai angbawnhaih hanah tuu to na sin ai, hmuen tathlanghaih hoiah doeh nang pakoeh ai. Hmuen paekhaih hoiah tok kang sahsak ai, hmuenzit ah oh han ai ah hmuihoih tui paek hanah doeh kang hnih ai.

24 Thou hast bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.

Kai hanah hmuihoih tui nang qan pae ai, angbawnhaih kathawk moi hoiah doeh kai zok nam hah sak ai; toe na zaehaih to hmuenzit ah nang phawsak moe, na sakpazaehaih hoiah kai nang phosak.

25 I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.

Kai, kaimah roe mah ni, kaimah hanah na zaehaih to kang takhoe pae, na zaehaihnawk to ka pakuem mak ai boeh.

26 Put Me in remembrance, let us plead together; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Kalaem tangcae hmuen to na thui ah; nawnto thui o si; na loih thai hanah, thui ah.

27 Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors have transgressed against Me.

Hmaloe ih nam pa loe zaehaih to sak boeh, nang patuk kaminawk loe ka nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o boeh.

28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.

To pongah hmuenciim ah toksah qaimanawk to amhnong kami ah ka sak, Jakob to ka tangoeng moe, Israel to loksae ka bah.
