Isaiah 40
1 “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
Lungpahawi awh, ka taminaw hah lungpahawi awh haw, telah nangmae Cathut ni a ti.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare has been completed, That her punishment has been accepted, That she has received from the hand of YHWH Double for all her sins.
Tarantuk thaw na tawknae tueng akuep toe. Nange yon hai ngaithoum toe telah Jerusalem kho koe lawkkanem lahoi dei awh nateh, oung pouh awh haw.
3 A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, Make straight in a desert a highway for our God.
Ramke dawk Oung pouh e teh, BAWIPA e lamthung teh rasoun awh. Thingyeiyawn dawk maimae Cathut e lamkalen teh sak awh.
4 Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place has become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
Ravo kaawm e pueng paten awh nateh, monnaw hah tanghling sak awh. Ukuk kacoum e lamthungnaw hah kânging sak nateh, duradiduradup e naw hah kâpi sak awh.
5 And the glory of YHWH has been revealed, And all flesh have seen [it] together, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnuek vaiteh, tami pueng ni a hmu awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
6 A voice is saying, “Call,” And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness [Is] as a flower of the field:
Hote lawk ni hramkhai haw ati navah, kai ni bangmouh ka hramkhai han ka ti pouh navah, tami pueng teh phokung lah doeh ao. Ahnimae hawinae pueng hai kahrawng e a pei patetlah doeh ao.
7 Grass has withered, the flower faded, For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, Surely the people [is] grass;
BAWIPA e a kâha ni a kanawi toteh, phokungnaw teh a kamyai awh teh, a peinaw hai a sarut awh. Atangcalah, taminaw teh phokung lah doeh ao awh.
8 Grass has withered, the flower faded, But a word of our God rises forever.
Phokung teh a kamyai teh, a pei hai a sarut. Maimae Cathut lawk teh a yungyoe a kangning a ti.
9 Get up on a high mountain, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up your voice with power, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, do not fear, say to cities of Judah, “Behold, your God.”
Zion mon dawk kamthang kahawi kasinkung, ka rasang e mon dawk luen haw. Jerusalem vah kamthang kahawi kasinkung, puenghoi hramkhai haw. Taket hanh. Na Cathut hah khenhaw! telah Judah khonaw koe dei pouh haw.
10 Behold, Lord YHWH comes with strength, And His arm is ruling for Him, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage before Him.
Khenhaw! Bawipa Jehovah teh thaonae kut hoi tho vaiteh, amae kutbuembue ni ama hanelah a uk han. Ama e tawkphu teh ama ni a thokhai han. Ama e kutphu hai a hmalah ao.
11 He feeds His flock as a shepherd, He gathers lambs with His arm, And He carries [them] in His bosom: He leads suckling ones.
A tuhunaw hah tukhoumkung patetlah kawk vaiteh, tucanaw hah a kut hoi tawm vaiteh, a tawm han. A ca kanaw kaawm e tunaw hai paiyai hoi a hrawi han.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And has meted out the heavens by a span, And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, And has weighed the mountains in scales, And the hills in a balance?
Tuinaw hah amae kuttabei hoi ka bangnue e, kalvan hah a kut hoi ka pakhap thai e, talai van e vaiphunaw hah yawcu khingnae dawk ka hrueng thai e, monnaw hah yawcu hoi ka khing niteh, monruinaw hah khinglung hoi ka khing thai e teh api nama.
13 Who has meted out the Spirit of YHWH, And [being] His counselor, teaches Him?
BAWIPA e Muitha hah apinimaw a bangnue thai han. Apimaw ama hoi kâpan niteh, ama hah ka panuek sak.
14 With whom [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know the way of understanding?
Bawipa ni api hoi maw a kâpan teh, ahni ni Bawipa hah a thai panue sak thai vaw. Apinimaw Bawipa hah a cangkhai teh, lamthung hah a patue teh, a thai panuek nahanelah ka dei pouh vaw.
15 Behold, nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, And have been reckoned as small dust of the balance, Behold, He takes up islands as a small thing.
Miphunnaw teh sikrei dawk hoi padekca e patetlah ao teh, yawcu dawk e vaiphuca patetlah doeh ao. Khenhaw! Tuilumnaw teh, mungpoung e patetlah doeh ao.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
Lebanon mon teh hmai patawi nahanelah khout hoeh. Hote mon dawk kaawm e moithangnaw hai hmaisawi thueng nahanelah khout hoeh.
17 All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
Khoram pueng hai Bawipa e hmalah teh, banghai bang hoeh e patetlah ao teh, banghai bang hoeh e hlak hai a thoungca e patetlah ao awh teh, ahrawnghrang patet lahai ao awh.
18 And to whom do you liken God, And what likeness do you compare to Him?
Hatdawkvah, Cathut hah api hoi maw bangnue han. Bawipa hah bang hoi maw bangnue han.
19 An artisan has poured out the carved image, And a refiner spreads it over with gold, And he is refining chains of silver.
Meikaphawknaw teh, kasakkung ni sui puk a hluk teh, ngundingyin hai ouk a sak pou awh.
20 He who is poor [by] raised-offerings, Chooses a tree [that is] not rotten, He seeks a skillful artisan for it, To establish a carved image—not moved.
Pasoumhno poe thai hoeh hane totouh, ka roedeng e tami niteh, kahmawn thai hoeh e thing hah a kârawi teh, kâroe thai hoeh e meikaphawk sak hanelah, kasakthaie naw hah ouk a tawng awh.
21 Do you not know—do you not hear? Has it not been declared from the first to you? Have you not understood [From] the foundations of the earth?
Na panuek awh hoeh maw. Apuengcue hoi nangmouh koe dei awh hoeh maw. Talai pek a pâw hoiyah na thaipanuek awh hoeh maw.
22 He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out the heavens as a thin thing, And spreads them as a tent to dwell in.
Talai kamhluem e van vah ka tahung niteh, talai van kaawm e taminaw teh awsi patetlah ao awh.
23 He who is making princes become nothing, Has made judges of earth formless;
Ukkung bawinaw hah banghai bang hoeh lah a coung sak teh, talai lawkcengkungnaw hah ahrawnghrang lah a coung sak.
24 Indeed, they have not been planted, Indeed, they have not been sown, Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, And He has also blown on them, and they wither, And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
Atangcalah ahnimouh hah patue hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae cati hai kahei hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae khawngyang teh talai dawk kâung hoeh. Ahnimouh hah phohmu toteh ahnimouh teh, bongparui ni cahik patetlah a palek awh han.
25 And to whom do you liken Me, And [to whom] I equal? Says the Holy One.
Hottelah pawiteh, Kai teh api hoi maw a kâvan na ti awh han vaw telah kathounge Bawipa ni a ti.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, And see—who has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls to all of them by name, By the abundance of His strength And mighty power, Not one is lacking.
Nangmae na mit naw hoi kahlun lah khenhaw. Hete hnonaw hah apinimaw a sak. Hote Bawipa ni teh hotnaw pueng hah koung a parei thai. A min lahoi koung a kaw thai. A thasai teh, bahu hoi a kawi dawkvah, buet touh boehai kahmat mahoeh.
27 Why say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, And from my God my judgment passes over?”
Ka ceinae lamthung teh BAWIPA ni a hro. Ka coe hane kawi hai Cathut ni banglahai ngâi hoeh telah Oe Jakop miphun ni bangkongmaw na dei awh. Oe Isarel miphun bangkongmaw na dei awh.
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
Na panuek hoeh maw. Na thai boihoeh maw. Jehovah teh a yungyoe kangning e Cathut, talai pout ditouh kasakkung Cathut lah ao. A tâwn tie awm hoeh. A patang tie awm hoeh. Bawipa e panuenae hoi thaipanueknae teh apinihai tawng thai hoeh.
29 He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increases might.
Bawipa ni ka tâwn e naw hah tha a poe teh, tithainae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah tithainae a poe.
30 Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
Nawsainaw teh a tâwn awh vaiteh, a tha a baw awh han. Camonaw hai kamthui awh vaiteh, a tâlaw awh han.
31 But those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw teh, thaonae a katha hoi a kawi awh han. Matawnaw patetlah amamae rathei hoi kahlun lah a kamleng awh han. A yawng awh toteh patang awh mahoeh. A ceio awh to hai tâwn awh mahoeh.
