Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, to me; and listen, you people, from far; The LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name.
Oe tuilum taminaw, ka lawk hah thai awh haw. Ahla koe e miphunnaw na hnâpakeng awh haw. Vonthung ka o nah roeroe vah BAWIPA ni na kaw toe. Anu e vonthung vah ka min a pakhum toe.
2 And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;
Ka pahni hah tahloi kahran e patetlah a sak teh, a kut tâhlip dawk na hro. Pala pikhluk e patetlah na coung sak teh, a palabom dawkvah na pâseng.
3 And said to me, You are my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Oe Isarel nang teh kaie san doeh. Nang dawk hoi ka bawilennae a kamnue han telah ka ti toe.
4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
Kai ni hai hawinae awm laipalah ka tawk toe. Ayawmyin lah ka tha hai a baw toe. Hatei, ka lannae tawkphu teh BAWIPA koe ao teh, ka tawkphu teh Cathut koe ao tie hah ka cai telah ati.
5 And now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
Atuvah, BAWIPA ama koe Jakop bankhai hane hoi, ama koe Isarel ka pâkhueng hane a san lah o nahanelah, von thung hoi na kangdoutkhai e ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hmaitung vah ka sungren e lah ka o. Ka Cathut teh ka thasainae lah ao han.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.
Bokheiyah, ama ni, Jakop miphun kangdue sak hane hoi Isarelnaw thung dawk kahloutnaw hah bout kangdue sak hanelah, ka san lah na o e heh hno ka pâhawca doeh. Talai pout totouh ka rungngangnae lah na o nahan, Jentelnaw kaangsakkung lah onae hai na poe han.
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
Isarelnaw hah a ratang teh, a tami kathoungnaw ayâ ni a pacekpahlek e, miphun ni a panuet e, lawkcengkung san, Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Yuemkamcu, BAWIPA, Isarel tamikathoung, na karawikung kecu dawkvah, siangpahrangnaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh, a thaw awh han, bawinaw ni hai a bawk awh han telah ati.
8 Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Ngai kaawm e tueng dawk na lawk hah ka tarawi toe. Rungngangnae hnin dawk nang hah na kabawp toe. Na ring vaiteh, miphunnaw hanelah lawkkamnae hah na poe han. Ram bout kangdue sak hane hoi kingkadi e râw lah bout coe hanelah,
9 That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
Thongkabawtnaw koe tâcawt awh. Hmonae koe kaawmnaw koevah, kamphawng awh telah na dei thai nahanelah, na ta awh han. Lamthungnaw dawk cet awh vaiteh, arasangnae cailum hmuen dawk pawngpanae lah ao awh han.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
Vonhlam awh mahoeh, tui kahran awh mahoeh. Khumbei ni runae poe awh mahoeh. Kanî raeng ni daw awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ka pahren e ni cetkhai awh vaiteh, tui onae koe a ceikhai han.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Kaie mon pueng teh lamthung lah ka coung sak han. Kaie lam kalennaw hai ka tawm han.
12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, see, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Khenhaw! Ahnimanaw teh ahlanae koehoi tho hanelah a kâcai awh. Khenhaw! ahnimanaw teh atunglah hoi kanîloumlah hoi tho hanelah a kâcai awh. Ahnimouh teh Sinim ram hoi tho hanlah kâcai awh e naw doeh.
13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have mercy on his afflicted.
Oe kalvannaw lunghawi hoi la sak awh haw. Oe talai lunghawi haw. Oe monnaw la sak awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a taminaw a lung a pahawi. Runae kâhmonaw hai a pahren han.
14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.
Hateiteh, Zion ni, Jehovah ni na ceitakhai teh, Bawipa ni na pahnim toe ati.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
Napui ni a ca a khe e hah, a pahren hoeh totouh, sanu a pânei lahun e camo a pahnim thai han na maw. Pahnim thai nakunghai kai ni na pahnim hoeh.
16 Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Kai ni ka kuttabei dawk ca ka thut teh, na kâkalupnae rapan teh ka hmalah pou ao.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
Na canu capanaw ni karanglah a kâroe awh han. Nang karaphoenaw hoi, nang ka hmawt sak e naw ni na tâco takhai han.
18 Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
Na tengpam vah khenhaw! Ahnimanaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh nang koe a tho awh. BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Kai teh ka hring dawkvah, nang teh langa a kamthoup e patetlah phunkuep hoi na kamthoup dawkvah, rumram nahoeh ati.
19 For your waste and your desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you up shall be far away.
Raphoe teh kingdi e hmuen hoi ka rawk tangcoung e na ram teh, atuvah kho ka sak e apap dawkvah, abueng toe. Nangmouh na kapayawpnaw teh ahlanae koe ao awh han.
20 The children which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
Na canaw a due hnukkhu, bout na tawm e capanaw ni hmuen khout awh mahoeh. A hmuen na poe ei telah a hei awh han.
21 Then shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
Hatnavah, nang ni na lungthung hoi, hetnaw heh apinimouh na khe pouh aw, ka canaw be kadout niteh, madueng kaawm e, yuengyoe kâva e lah bout ka o. Hetnaw hah apinimouh a thokhai awh. Kai teh ka madueng kaawm e lah ka o dawkvah, hetnaw heh nâmouh ao awh aw na ti han.
22 Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, khenhaw! Kai ni khoram tangkuem kaawm e miphunnaw koe ka kut ka dâw teh, mitnoutnae hah ka vo pouh han. Ahnimouh ni nange na canu capanaw hah a kut hoi tawm awh vaiteh, a loung dawk hrawm awh vaiteh, a thokhai awh han.
23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
Siangpahrangnaw ni nange camo tawm awh vaiteh, siangpahrangnaw teh nange camo ka khoum e lah ao awh han. Na hmalah tabawk awh vaiteh, na khok dawk e vaiphu hah a palem awh han. Kai teh Jehovah lah ka o e hai thoseh, kai na kangaihawinaw teh kayanae a ohoehnae hai thoseh na panue han.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
Athakaawme kut dawk hoi hnopai lawp han na maw. Taki ka tho e san hah rungngang han na maw.
25 But thus says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your children.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atangcalah, athakaawme ni man tangcoung e tami hah bout la han. Takitho e ni lawp tangcoung e lawphno hah bout la han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ka taran e hah kai ni ka taran vaiteh, na capanaw hah ka rungngang han.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Nang na karektapnaw hah amamae tak ka ca sak han. Amamae thi hah misurtui nei e patetlah koung ka boum lah a nei awh han. Hatdawkvah, kai Jehovah teh nang ka rungngangkung, nang karatangkung, Jakop miphun dawk athakaawme Cathut, ao tie hah tami pueng ni a panue awh han telah a dei.
