Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Oe tuilumnaw, a hmalah sairasuep lah awm awh. Taminaw ni tha hoi bout kawi awh naseh. Rek hnai awh naseh, lawk dei awh naseh. Lawkcengnae koe kahnaicalah tho awh naseh.
2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
Kanîtholah hoi tami buet touh hah apinimaw a kangdue sak, apimaw lannae koe a khok rahim vah a kaw. Apinimaw a hmalah miphun hah a poe teh, siangpahrangnaw e lathueng vah lawk a ceng sak. Apinimaw vaiphu patetlah a tahloi koe a poe teh, cahik kahlî ni a palek e patetlah apinimaw licung koe a poe.
3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
Apinimaw ahnimanaw hah a pâlei teh, a khok hoi a coungroe boihoeh e lam dawk hoi a yawngtahrei.
4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Apinimaw hete hnonaw hah a sak teh, miphunnaw hah a kamtawngnae koehoi a kaw vaw. Kai Jehovah, ahmaloe poung e hoi a hnukteng poung e koe kaawm e kasakkung teh kai doeh.
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
Tuilumnaw ni a hmu awh teh a taki awh. Talai poutnae naw teh a pâyaw awh. Rek a hnai awh teh, a kamkhueng awh.
6 They helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
A imri buet touh hoi buet touh a kâkabawp awh teh, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi sak awh telah tha a kâpoe awh.
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smoothes with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
Kutsakkathoum e ni suihlunkathoum e hah tha a poe. Cakkin hoi ka pacai e nihai, sum ka dêi ni teh kahei ka pacawng e tami hanlah ahawi atipouh. Ahnimouh ni hote meikaphawk hah a kâroe hoeh nahanlah sum hoi kacaklah a het awh.
8 But you, Israel, are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Hatei, nang Isarel, ka san, kai ni na rawi e Jakop, ka hui Abraham e catoun,
9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called you from the chief men thereof, and said to you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and not cast you away.
Kai ni nang teh talai poutnae koehoi ka kut hoi na sawn teh, ahlapoungnae hmuen koehoi na kaw teh, nang teh kaie thaw ka tawk e lah na o. Kai ni nang teh na rawi toe. Kai ni nang teh na pahnawt hoeh.
10 Fear you not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Taket hanh. Kai teh nang hoi rei ka o. Na lungpuen hanh. Kai teh na Cathut lah ka o, tha na o sak han. Na kabawp han. Lawkkamcaknae aranglae ka kut hoi na tawm han.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against you shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with you shall perish.
Nang koe a lung ka khuek e naw teh, yeiraipo awh vaiteh, minhmai a kaya awh han.
12 You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contended with you: they that war against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nothing.
Nang na katuknaw hah na tawng hai na hmawt mahoeh toe. Nang hoi taran ka tuk e naw teh ayawmyin patetlah ahrawnghrang patetlah ao awh han.
13 For I the LORD your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not; I will help you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange Jehovah na Cathut ni nang hanelah, na lungpuen hanh, na kabawp han ati teh, nange aranglae kut hah a kuet.
14 Fear not, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, and your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Oe Tangraet Jakop, miphun kathoengcae Isarel, taket hanh. Kai ni na kabawp han. Nang karatangkung teh, Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa lah ao telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
15 Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff.
Khenhaw! Cangkatinnae seh katha, kahran e, hâ ka tawn e lah na coungsak awh han. Monnaw hah katin vaiteh kâbawng sak han. Monruinaw hah cahik patetlah ao sak han.
16 You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Na hut awh vaiteh kahlî ni ahnimanaw hah a palek awh han. Cakho ni hai a palek awh han. Nang teh BAWIPA dawk na lunghawi han. Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa hah na lentoesak awh han.
17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Ka mathoe e hoi kavoutthoupnaw ni tui a tawng awh teh a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah, tui a kahran awh toteh, Kai BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hah ka pato han. Isarelnaw e Cathut Jehovah lah kaawm e Kai ni ahnimanaw hah ka pahnawt mahoeh.
18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the middle of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Arasangnae cailum hmuen koe palangnaw thoseh, ayawnnaw lungui vah tuiphueknaw thoseh, ka tâco sak han. Kahrawng thingyei hah tuikamuem lah ka coung sak vaiteh, ka ke e talai hah palang lah ka coung sak han.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
Thingyei um vah sidar thing, anri thing, tuihan thing hoi olive thingnaw hah ka ung han. Kahrawngum dawkvah, hmaica thing, saipres thing, kongkang thingnaw hah ka pâw sak han.
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
Hettelah hoi BAWIPA e kut ni hete hnonaw hah a sak teh, Isarelnaw e kathounge Bawipa ni hotnaw a sak tie hah, hmawt awh vaiteh, panuek awh vaiteh, pouk awh vaiteh, a thaipanuek awh han doeh.
21 Produce your cause, says the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob.
Nangmae hno ka tâcawt e hah pâpho awh haw telah BAWIPA ni ati. Kacake kapanuekkhaikung hah na patue awh haw telah Jakop miphun e siangpahrang ni a ti.
22 Let them bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
Ka tâcawt hane naw hah pâpho awh nateh, dei awh naseh. Ka pouk awh vaiteh, ka panue thai awh nahanelah, yampa e naw hah dei awh naseh. Hoehpawiteh, ka tâcawt hane naw hah kaimouh koe dei awh naseh.
23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Nangmouh teh cathutnaw lah na o awh e ka panue awh nahanelah, ka tâcawt hane naw hah dei awh haw. Kaimouh teh buet touh hoi buet touh kâkhet teh, ka taki awh nahan kahawi e hoehpawiteh, kahawihoehe hnonaw hah dei awh naseh.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of nothing: an abomination is he that chooses you.
Khenhaw! Nangmouh teh ayawmyin doeh toe. Nangmae na tawksak awh e hai ahrawnghrang hlak a rahnoum. Nangmouh na ka rawi e teh panuet a tho.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call on my name: and he shall come on princes as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
Buet touh hah atung lahoi ka tâcosak vaiteh, ahni teh a tho han. Kanîtholah hoi buet touh a tho vaiteh, ahni ni ka min hah a kaw han. Hlaamkabokung ni amhru hah a katin e patetlah ahni ni bawinaw hah amhru patetlah a katin han.
26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yes, there is none that shows, yes, there is none that declares, yes, there is none that hears your words.
Kaimouh ni ka panue awh nahan, bokheiyah sut ka ti awh nahan, ahmaloe hoi apinimaw a dei boi. Ka dei e awm hoeh. Ka pâpho e awm hoeh. Hothloilah nangmae lawk hah ka thai boi e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that brings good tidings.
Kai teh Zion kho hah khenhaw! haw o ho hmaloe ka tet e lah ka o. Kamthang kahawi ka dei hane tami hai Jerusalem lah ka patoun.
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counselor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Hatei, ka khet navah buet touh boehai awm hoeh. Bout dei hanelah ahnimanaw hah ka pacei torei teh, ahnimouh thungvah, kâpankhaikung buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
Khenhaw! Ahnimouh pueng teh dumyennae buet touh duengdoeh kaawm. Ahnimouh ni a tawksaknae hai ayawmyin doeh. Ahnimouh ni a hlun awh e meikaphawk hai kahlî hrawnghrang lah doeh ao.
