Isaiah 43
1 But now thus hath said 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; mine art thou.
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 Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers, —they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on 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 have given Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba in place of 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 art precious in my eyes, art honorable, and I indeed do love thee: therefore will I give men in place of thee, and nations instead of thy soul.
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; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.
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, Withhold not: bring my sons from afar, 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 Every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; whom I have formed; yea, whom I have made.
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 forward 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 announce this? and cause us to hear 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: in order that ye may know and believe me, and understand, that I am he; before me there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.
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, I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Kai, kamah he Yahovah ni. Kai pawt atah khangnah om pawh.
12 I myself have announced it, and I have saved, and I have let it be heard, and there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and 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, from the [first] day am I he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: if I will work, is there one that can hinder 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 hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, For your sake did I send to Babylon, and in swift vessels brought I them all down, and the Chaldeans, in the ships of their joyful song.
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, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Kai nangmih kah Yahovah cim, Israel aka suen, nangmih manghai ni,” a ti.
16 Thus hath said the Lord, who 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 Who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power: together shall they lie down, they shall not rise up again; they are extinct, like a wick are they quenched.
Rhenten yalh khungdaeng tih a thoh uh kolla, thut bangla thi tih aka duek leng neh tatthai marhang aka khuen loh,
18 Remember not the former things, and ancient events regard no more.
hnukbuet te poek voel boel lamtah yan kah te khaw thoelh uh boeh.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; will ye not acknowledge it? I will even make in the wilderness a way, and in the desert rivers.
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 beasts of the field shall honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;
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 which I have formed for myself; my praise shall they relate.
Kamah ham ka hlom pilnam loh kai koehnah mah tae uh saeh.
22 But on me hast thou not called, O Jacob; for thou art become 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 unto me the lamb of thy burnt-offerings; and with thy sacrifices hast thou not honored me: I have not troubled thee with meat-offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
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 not bought for me sweet cane, and with the fat of thy sacrifices hast thou not satisfied me; but thou hast troubled me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy 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, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.
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: relate thou, in order 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 did sin, and they that plead for thee transgressed against me.
Na pa cuek te tholh rhoe tih nang kah oldoe rhoek loh kai taengah boe a koek uh.
28 Therefore do I profane the holy princes, and I give up 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.
