< Isaiah 51 >
1 Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look to the rock from where you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from where you are dig.
Toenghaih hnukah pazui moe, Angraeng pakrong kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; na aah o ih lungsong hoi na takaeh o ih tangqom to khen oh;
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
nam pa Abraham hoi nangcae cunkung Sarah to khen oh; tangsuek naah loe anih khue ni ka kawk, toe tahamhoihaih ka paek pongah, anih loe kating ai ah pung.
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Angraeng mah Zion to mongsak tih; kamro ahmuennawk boih doeh mongsak tih; anih ih praezaek to Eden baktiah angcoengsak ueloe, anih ih long karoem ahmuen to Angraeng ih takha baktiah angcoengsak tih; athung ah loe anghoehaih, oephaih, anghoe lok thuihaih hoi laasakhaih loknawk to om tih.
4 Listen to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Kai ih kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; Aw ka caengnawk, kai khaeah naa patueng oh; patuk ih toenghaih lok loe kai khae hoiah tacawt tih, ka toenghaih loe prae kaminawk hanah aanghaih ah om tih.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait on me, and on my arm shall they trust.
Ka toenghaih loe zoi boeh, ka pahlonghaih doeh longh li boeh, ka ban mah kaminawk to lokcaek tih; tuipui thung ih prae kaminawk mah kai to zing o ueloe, ka ban thacakhaih to oep o tih.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Van ah na mik padai o tahang ah loe long ah khen o tathuk ah; van loe hmaikhue baktiah anghmaa ving tih, long doeh kahni baktiah prawn ueloe, athung ah kaom kaminawk loe taksae baktiah dueh o tih.
7 Listen to me, you that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear you not the reproach of men, neither be you afraid of their revilings.
Toenghaih panoek kaminawk hoi palung thungah ka patuk ih lok suem kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; kaminawk mah zoehhaih to zii o hmah, nihcae mah kasae thuihaih pongah doeh tasoeh o hmah.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Karaa mah nihcae to kahni baktiah caa king ueloe, langkawk mah nihcae to tuumui baktiah caa tih; toe ka toenghaih loe dungzan khoek to cak poe tih, ka pahlonghaih doeh caanawk ih adung khoek to om poe tih.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not it that has cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
Aw Angraeng ih ban nang, Angthawk ah, anglawt ah loe thacakhaih hoiah om ah; canghnii ih ni kalaem baktih, adung kangquem baktiah, angthawk ah. Rahab to takroek pat moe, pahui pui ahmaa caasakkung loe nang na ai maw?
10 Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Tuipui hoi kathuk parai tuinawk kangsakkung loe nang na ai maw? Kathuk tuipui nuiah akrang tangcae kaminawk caehhaih loklam sahkung loe nang na ai maw?
11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
To pongah Angraeng mah akrang tangcae kaminawk to amlaem o let ueloe, laasakhaih hoiah Zion ah akun o tih; nihcae loe dungzan anghoehaih lumuek to angmuek o tih; oephaih hoi anghoehaih to hnu o tih; to naah palungsethaih hoi qahhaih loe cawn ving tih boeh.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts you: who are you, that you should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Nangcae pathloepkung loe Kai, kaimah hae boeh ni; kadueh thaih kami, phroh baktiah azaem thaih kami capa to maw na zit o?
13 And forget the LORD your maker, that has stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Vannawk payuengkung, long angdoethaih sahkung, nang sahkung Angraeng to na pahnet ving boeh; pacaekthlaekkung mah kai hae hum tih boeh, tiah palung thung hoiah na poek o moe, ni thokkruek zithaih hoiah kho na sak o; pacaekthlaek kami palungphuihaih loe naa ah maw oh?
14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
Thongkrah kaminawk loe thongim thungah dueh o mak ai, zok doeh amthlam o mak ai, anih loe loih phrat tih.
15 But I am the LORD your God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Kai loe tuipui mah hangh hanah, tuipui angthawksakkung Angraeng na Sithaw ah ka oh; Anih ih ahmin loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah oh.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are my people.
Vannawk angmah ih ahmuen ah suemkung, long angdoethaih ahmuen sahkung, Zion khaeah, Nangcae loe kai ih kami ah na oh o, tiah thuih hanah, na pakha ah ka loknawk to ka suek moe, ka ban hoiah kang pakaa boeh.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; you have drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Angraeng ban ih palungphuihaih boengloeng kanae Aw Jerusalem, anglawt lai ah, angthawk ah loe angdoe ah; tasoehhaih boengloeng to na naek boeh; anaengnawk doeh na naek boih boeh.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any that takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has brought up.
Angmah tapen ih capanawk thungah hoiah angmah han loklam patuekkung mi doeh om o ai; angmah pacah ih capanawk thungah doeh, anih ban hoiah zae kami om o ai.
19 These two things are come to you; who shall be sorry for you? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort you?
Patangkhanghaih hnetto ah kaom, caaknaek khaa pongah kami amrohaih ah kaom sumsen hoi duekhaih to na nuiah phak naah, mi mah maw na qah haih tih? Kawbangmaw kang pathloep thai han?
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
Na capanawk loe tha zok o sut boeh moe, thaang pongah aman sathar baktiah, lamkrung kruekah angsongh o; nihcae loe Angraeng palungphuihaih hoi na Sithaw thuitaekhaih to amhah o sut boeh.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
To pongah pacaekthlaekhaih tongh kami, misurtui hoi nae ai ah mu paquih kami, vaihi tahngai ah;
22 Thus says your Lord the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; you shall no more drink it again:
angmah ih kaminawk khenzawnkung, na Sithaw, na Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, na ban pong ih tasoehhaih boengloeng, palung ka phuihaih boengloeng pong ih anaengnawk to na naek let han ai ah, na ban thung hoiah ka lak ving boeh:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and you have laid your body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
na nuiah caeh kaminawk hanah, loklam baktiah na takpum to long ah baih pae ah, na nuiah ka caeh o thai hanah, long ah tabok oh, tiah kathui, nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk ban ah to boengloeng to ka suek pae han, tiah a thuih.
