Isaiah 46
1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Bel ni a lû a saling teh, Nebo a kârahnoum sak. Ahnimae meikaphawknaw teh, a khok pali touh e saring e van doeh a hung awh. Na phu rumram hanelah doeh sak e lah ao teh, saringnaw ni nget ka tâwn lah a phu awh.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
A kârahnoum awh teh, rei a rawp awh. Amamae hnokari kârungngang thai awh hoeh. Amamanaw san lah letlang a ceikhai awh.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
Oe Jakop imthungnaw ka lawk thai awh haw. Ka cawi rae imthungnaw, pek na khe hoi vonthung na o na hoi doeh kai ni na tawm toe.
4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
Na matawng totouh hai na sam a po ditouh, kai teh hot patetlah e tami lah ka o teh, nangmanaw na tawm awh han, na sak awh e patetlah na ring awh vaiteh, na rungngang awh han.
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
Nangmouh ni api hoi maw na mei na kâla sak awh han. Api hoi maw na kâvan sak awh teh, api hoi maw na bangnue awh han.
6 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
Yawngya thung hoi sui moikapap rasa e patetlah ngun hai yawcu dawk a khing, sum kahlun e koe meikaphawk lah na sak sak awh teh, na tabo sin awh teh na bawk awh.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
A loung dawk a hrawm awh teh, a ceikhai awh teh, amae hmuen dawk ouk a pâhung awh. Pou a kangdue teh, a onae hmuen koehoi kampuen mahoeh toe. A kaw awh nakunghai lawk dei pouh thai mahoeh. A rucatnae koehoi hai rungngang thai mahoeh.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Oe lawk kaeknaw, hetheh pahnim awh hanh. Tongpa katang lah awm awh nateh, bout pouk awh.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
Ayan e hno hah pahnim hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kai teh na Cathut lah ka o teh, kai hloilah Cathut alouke awm hoeh. Kai hoi kâvan e awm hoeh.
10 Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
Kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh thoseh, ayan hoi kaawm rah boihoeh e hnonaw thoseh, ka dei teh ka pouknae a kuep han, ka ngai e pueng be ka sak han telah a ti.
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
Kanîtholah hoi e ka matheng e tava, ahlanae hmuen koehoi ka pouk e hah ka kaw, yo ka dei e patetlah ka sak han.
12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Lannae hoi ahla poungnae koe kaawmnaw ka lawk thai awh haw.
13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
Kahnaicalah lannae ka thokhai han. Ahla poungnae koe kaawm mahoeh. Rungngangnae, lungmanae nihai, na ring mahoeh. Zion vah rungngangnae ka ta vaiteh, ka bawilennae Isarel hanelah ka hruek han.
