Isaiah 45
1 Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
Amah kah a koelh Cyrus te BOEIPA loh, “Namtom rhoek te a mikhmuh ah hnaa hamla a bantang kut te ka moem pah. A mikhmuh ah thohkhaih rhoek te ong hamla manghai rhoek cinghen khaw ka hlam pah ni. Te vaengah vongka te kalh uh mahpawh.
2 “I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
Kamah he na mikhmuh ah ka pongpa vetih ngoem te ka nolh rhoe ka nolh ni. Rhohum thohkhaih te ka thuk vetih thi thohkalh ka tloek ni.
3 And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
Hmaisuep khuikah thakvoh neh a huephael kah kawn te nang taengah kam paek bitni. Te daengah ni BOEIPA kamah he na ming neh aka khue Israel Pathen la na ming eh.
4 For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
Ka sal Jakob neh ka coelh Israel ham nang te na ming nen ni kang khue. Kai nan ming pawt cakhaw nang kan mingkhaep coeng.
5 I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
Kai he Yahovah ni. Kai kah a voelah a tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe khaw a om moenih. Nang te kam poeh mai cakhaw kai nan ming hae moenih.
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
Kai Yahovah kamah pawt atah a tloe om pawt tih a tloe a om pawt te khocuk khomik taeng lamloh khotlak duela ming uh saeh.
7 Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
Vangnah aka hlinsai tih a hmuep aka suen. Rhoepnah aka saii tih boethae aka suen. Te rhoek boeih aka saii khaw BOEIPA kamah ni.
8 Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
Vaan khaw a so lamkah ha pha lamtah khomong khaw duengnah ha sih saeh. Diklai te ong uh saeh lamtah daemnah loh thaihsu saeh. Duengnah khaw cuen laeh saeh. Te te kai Yahovah long ni ka suen.
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
Anunae, diklai paikaek lakli kah paikaek pakhat loh amah aka hlinsai te a oelh mai. Amlai loh amah aka picai te, “Nang kah bisai khaw banim na saii dae, a kut khaw om pawt nim?” a ti nah cop a?
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
Anunae, a napa la, “Balae tih nan sak,” a manu te, “Balae tih nan yom?” aka ti mai.
11 Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
Israel kah Yahovah cim neh anih aka hlinsai loh, “Aka thoeng ham te kamah n'dawt lah. Ka ca rhoek ham neh ka kut dongkah bisai ham te kai nan uen mai.
12 I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
Kai loh diklai khaw diklai hman kah hlang khaw ka saii. Kai loh ka suen tangtae vaan ke khaw kamah kut loh a dih tih a caenmpuei rhoek khaw boeih ka uen.
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Anih te duengnah dongah ka haeng vetih a longpuei te boeih ka dueng pah ni. Anih loh kai kah khopuei te a khoeng vetih ka hlangsol la a tueih ni. A phu khaw thui mahpawh, kapbaih khaw hoe mahpawh,” a ti he caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui.
14 Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
BOEIPA loh Egypt kah thaphu khaw, Kusah neh hlang sang Sabean kah a thenpom loh nang te m'paan uh vetih namah taengah om uh ni. Nang hnukah hmaipom neh pongpa uh ni. Nang taengla ha pawk uh vaengah khaw bakop uh ni. Nang taengah te, “Nang taengah Pathen rhep om pai tih hlang tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe a om moenih,” tila thangthui uh ni.
15 Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
Namah tah Israel Pathen, khangkung neh muei aka thuh Pathen pai ni.
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
Amih te thikat la boeih yak uh vetih a hmaithae uh bal ni. Muei saii kutthai rhoek te mingthae neh van uh ni.
17 Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
Israel te BOEIPA loh kumhal loeihnah dongah a khang ni. Kumhal ah a yoeyah la na yak voel pawt vetih na hmaithae voel mahpawh.
18 For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
He khaw vaan aka suen BOEIPA long ni a thui. Pathen amah loh diklai a hlom tih a saii. Diklai he a hinghong pawt ham a soepsoei phoeiah khosa rhoek ham a suen tih a hlinsai pah. BOEIPA kamah phoeiah a tloe a om moenih.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
A huephael neh diklai hmaisuep hmuen ah ka thui moenih. Jakob tiingan taengah hinghong la kai n'tlap ka ti nah moenih. Duengnah aka thui BOEIPA kamah loh vanat la ka puen.
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
Namtom hlangyong rhoek te coi uh thae lamtah ha kun uh laeh. Thikat la ha mop uh laeh. Amamih kah mueithuk thing a phueih nawn khaw ming uh pawt tih aka khang thai pawh pathen taengah thangthui uh.
21 Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
Puen uh lamtah ha mop uh lah. Tun ah khaw uen uh thae saeh. Hlamat lamloh aka yaak sak tih daengrhae daengkhoi la aka puen te unim? BOEIPA kamah moenih a? Duengnah Pathen kamah pawt atah Pathen tloe om pawh. Kai phoeiah he khangkung a om moenih.
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
Diklai khobawt boeih loh kai taengla ha mael uh lamtah khang la om uh lah. Kai Pathen phoeiah Pathen koep a om moenih.
23 I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng dongah ka ka lamloh aka thoeng duengnah ol tah balkhong voel mahpawh. Kai taengah khuklu boeih a cungkueng vetih ol boeih a caeng ni.
24 Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
Kai BOEIPA bueng dongah ni duengnah neh a sarhi la a thui eh. Amah taengah aka lungoe rhoek khaw a taengla ha pawk uh vetih boeih yak uh ni.
25 In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
Israel kah tiingan boeih tah BOEIPA rhangneh tang uh vetih a thangthen uh ni.
