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.
Jakob nang aka suen tih Israel nang aka hlom Yahovah loh tahae ah tah, “Nang te kan tlan coeng dongah rhih boeh, nang te na ming neh kamah taengla kang khue coeng.
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 te na kat vaengah nang taengah ka om vetih tuiva loh nang n'yo mahpawh. Hmai dongah na caeh vaengah na duih mahpawh. Hmaisai long khaw nang te n'dom mahpawh.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Kai tah Yahovah na Pathen, Israel kah a cim ni. Nang kah khangnah ham nang yuengla, Egypt Kusa neh Seba taengah nang kah tlansum ka paek coeng.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
Ka mikhmuh ah na phutlo tih n'thangpom coeng. Kai khaw nang kan lungnah tih nang yueng la hlang taengah, na hinglu yueng te namtu taengah ka paek ni.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Nang taengah kang om puei dongah rhih boeh. Na tiingan te khocuk lamloh kam pawk puei vetih namah te khotlak lamloh kan coi ni.
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 ends of the earth;
tlangpuei taengah pae laeh, tuithim taengah khaw hloh boeh. Khohla lamkah ka ca rhoek neh ka tanu rhoek te diklai khobawt lamloh,
7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
ka ming neh ka khue boeih te hang khuen,” ka ti ni. Kamah thangpomnah ham anih ka suen tih ka hlinsai tih ka saii bal.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Mikdael mik neh hnapang hna aka om pilnam te khuen laeh.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Namtom boeih te tun coi uh thae tih namtu rhoek khaw tingtun uh. Hekah he amih taengah unim aka puen tih lamhma kah te mamih taengah aka yaak sak. Amamih kah laipai te tloeng saeh lamtah tang uh saeh. Te vaengah ya uh saeh lamtah oltak te thui uh saeh.
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 there be after me.
Nangmih tah kamah kah laipai rhoek ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Ka sal te khaw na ming uh tih kai nan tangnah uh ham ni ka tuek. Te daengah ni kai kamah mikhmuh ah pathen te poeh tarha pawt tih ka hnukah a om pawt ham khaw na yakming uh eh.
11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Kai, kamah he Yahovah ni. Kai pawt atah khangnah om pawh.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
Kamah ka puen tih ka khang coeng. Ka yaak coeng dongah nangmih taengah kholong a om moenih. Nangmih tah kai laipai rhoek ni. “Kai tah Pathen ni” a ti he khaw BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
A tue khohnin dongah khaw kamah coeng hoeh, ka kut lamkah huul mahpawh. Ka saii phoeiah u long a balkhong thai eh?
14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
Nangmih aka tlan BOEIPA, Israel kah a cim loh, “Nangmih ham Babylon la ka tueih vetih amih neh amamih kah a tamlung nah sangpho dongah Khalden khaw rhalyong rhoek bangla boeih kan suntlak puei ni.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
Kai nangmih kah Yahovah cim, Israel aka suen, nangmih manghai ni,” a ti.
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Tuitunli ah longpuei aka khueh tih tui len dongah aka hawn BOEIPA loh,
17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
Rhenten yalh khungdaeng tih a thoh uh kolla, thut bangla thi tih aka duek leng neh tatthai marhang aka khuen loh,
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
hnukbuet te poek voel boel lamtah yan kah te khaw thoelh uh boeh.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Kai loh a thai la ka saii te poe coeng he. Khosoek ah longpuei, khopong ah tuiva ka khueh te khaw na ming uh moenih a?
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
Ka coelh ka pilnam tul ham khopong kah tuiva tui te khosoek ah ka paek. Te dongah kohong mulhing pongui neh kalauk vanu loh kai n'thangpom.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Kamah ham ka hlom pilnam loh kai koehnah mah tae uh saeh.
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
Tedae Jakob loh kai he nan khue pawt tih Israel loh kai ham na kohnue coeng.
23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
Na hmueihhlutnah boiva te kai taengla nang khuen moenih. Na hmueih nen khaw kai nan thangpom moenih. Khocang nen khaw nang tho kan thueng sak pawt tih hmueihtui nen khaw nang kan kohnue sak moenih.
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
Canhnam an te kai hamla tangka neh na lai moenih. Na hmueih tha nen khaw kai nan hmilhmal sak moenih. Tedae na tholhnah neh kai taengah tho na thueng tih, namah kathaesainah neh kai nan kohnue sak.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Kai, kamah loh kamah ham ni na boekoek ka khoe. Te dongah na tholhnah te ka thoelh moenih.
26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Kai he n'thoelh lah, laitloek rhenten lah sih, na tang te na tae lah mako.
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
Na pa cuek te tholh rhoe tih nang kah oldoe rhoek loh kai taengah boe a koek uh.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Te dongah hmuencim mangpa te ka poeih vetih Jakob te yaehtaboeih la, Israel te honah la ka khueh ni,” a ti.
