Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O islands, to Me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, YHWH has called Me from the womb, From the bowels of My mother He has made mention of My Name.
Oe tuilum taminaw, ka lawk hah thai awh haw. Ahla koe e miphunnaw na hnâpakeng awh haw. Vonthung ka o nah roeroe vah BAWIPA ni na kaw toe. Anu e vonthung vah ka min a pakhum toe.
2 And He makes My mouth as a sharp sword, He has hid Me in the shadow of His hand, And He makes Me for a clear arrow, He has hid Me in His quiver.
Ka pahni hah tahloi kahran e patetlah a sak teh, a kut tâhlip dawk na hro. Pala pikhluk e patetlah na coung sak teh, a palabom dawkvah na pâseng.
3 And He says to me, “You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.”
Oe Isarel nang teh kaie san doeh. Nang dawk hoi ka bawilennae a kamnue han telah ka ti toe.
4 And I said, “I labored in vain, I consumed my power for emptiness and vanity, But my judgment [is] with YHWH, And my wage with my God.”
Kai ni hai hawinae awm laipalah ka tawk toe. Ayawmyin lah ka tha hai a baw toe. Hatei, ka lannae tawkphu teh BAWIPA koe ao teh, ka tawkphu teh Cathut koe ao tie hah ka cai telah ati.
5 “And now,” said YHWH, who is forming Me from the belly—His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honored in the eyes of YHWH, And My God has been My strength).
Atuvah, BAWIPA ama koe Jakop bankhai hane hoi, ama koe Isarel ka pâkhueng hane a san lah o nahanelah, von thung hoi na kangdoutkhai e ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hmaitung vah ka sungren e lah ka o. Ka Cathut teh ka thasainae lah ao han.
6 And He says, “It has been a light thing That You are My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to bring back the preserved of Israel, And I have given You for a light to the nations, To be My salvation to the end of the earth.”
Bokheiyah, ama ni, Jakop miphun kangdue sak hane hoi Isarelnaw thung dawk kahloutnaw hah bout kangdue sak hanelah, ka san lah na o e heh hno ka pâhawca doeh. Talai pout totouh ka rungngangnae lah na o nahan, Jentelnaw kaangsakkung lah onae hai na poe han.
7 Thus said YHWH, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the detested of a nation, To the Servant of rulers: “Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of YHWH, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooses You.”
Isarelnaw hah a ratang teh, a tami kathoungnaw ayâ ni a pacekpahlek e, miphun ni a panuet e, lawkcengkung san, Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Yuemkamcu, BAWIPA, Isarel tamikathoung, na karawikung kecu dawkvah, siangpahrangnaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh, a thaw awh han, bawinaw ni hai a bawk awh han telah ati.
8 Thus said YHWH: “In a time of good pleasure I answered You, And in a day of salvation I helped You, And I keep You, and give You, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Ngai kaawm e tueng dawk na lawk hah ka tarawi toe. Rungngangnae hnin dawk nang hah na kabawp toe. Na ring vaiteh, miphunnaw hanelah lawkkamnae hah na poe han. Ram bout kangdue sak hane hoi kingkadi e râw lah bout coe hanelah,
9 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. They feed on the ways, And their pasture is in all high places.
Thongkabawtnaw koe tâcawt awh. Hmonae koe kaawmnaw koevah, kamphawng awh telah na dei thai nahanelah, na ta awh han. Lamthungnaw dawk cet awh vaiteh, arasangnae cailum hmuen dawk pawngpanae lah ao awh han.
10 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor do mirage and sun strike them, For He who is pitying them leads them, And tends them by fountains of waters.
Vonhlam awh mahoeh, tui kahran awh mahoeh. Khumbei ni runae poe awh mahoeh. Kanî raeng ni daw awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ka pahren e ni cetkhai awh vaiteh, tui onae koe a ceikhai han.
11 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
Kaie mon pueng teh lamthung lah ka coung sak han. Kaie lam kalennaw hai ka tawm han.
12 Behold, these come in from afar, And behold, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.”
Khenhaw! Ahnimanaw teh ahlanae koehoi tho hanelah a kâcai awh. Khenhaw! ahnimanaw teh atunglah hoi kanîloumlah hoi tho hanelah a kâcai awh. Ahnimouh teh Sinim ram hoi tho hanlah kâcai awh e naw doeh.
13 Sing, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For YHWH has comforted His people, And He pities His afflicted ones.
Oe kalvannaw lunghawi hoi la sak awh haw. Oe talai lunghawi haw. Oe monnaw la sak awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a taminaw a lung a pahawi. Runae kâhmonaw hai a pahren han.
14 And Zion says, “YHWH has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”
Hateiteh, Zion ni, Jehovah ni na ceitakhai teh, Bawipa ni na pahnim toe ati.
15 “Does a woman forget her suckling, The loved one—the son of her womb? Indeed, these forget—but I do not forget you.
Napui ni a ca a khe e hah, a pahren hoeh totouh, sanu a pânei lahun e camo a pahnim thai han na maw. Pahnim thai nakunghai kai ni na pahnim hoeh.
16 Behold, I have carved you on the palms of the hand, Your walls [are] continually before Me.
Kai ni ka kuttabei dawk ca ka thut teh, na kâkalupnae rapan teh ka hmalah pou ao.
17 Those building you have hurried, Those destroying you, and laying you waste, go out from you.
Na canu capanaw ni karanglah a kâroe awh han. Nang karaphoenaw hoi, nang ka hmawt sak e naw ni na tâco takhai han.
18 Lift up your eyes, [look] around and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to you. [As] I live,” a declaration of YHWH! “Surely you put on all of them as an ornament, And you bind them on like a bride.
Na tengpam vah khenhaw! Ahnimanaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh nang koe a tho awh. BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Kai teh ka hring dawkvah, nang teh langa a kamthoup e patetlah phunkuep hoi na kamthoup dawkvah, rumram nahoeh ati.
19 Because your ruins, and your desolate places, And the land of your ruins, Are now surely restricted because of inhabitants, And those consuming you have been far off.
Raphoe teh kingdi e hmuen hoi ka rawk tangcoung e na ram teh, atuvah kho ka sak e apap dawkvah, abueng toe. Nangmouh na kapayawpnaw teh ahlanae koe ao awh han.
20 Again the sons of your bereavement say in your ears: The place is too narrow for me, Come near to me—and I dwell.
Na canaw a due hnukkhu, bout na tawm e capanaw ni hmuen khout awh mahoeh. A hmuen na poe ei telah a hei awh han.
21 And you have said in your heart: Who has begotten these for me? And I [am] bereaved and barren, A captive, and turned aside, And who has nourished these? Behold, I was left by myself, these—where [are] they from?”
Hatnavah, nang ni na lungthung hoi, hetnaw heh apinimouh na khe pouh aw, ka canaw be kadout niteh, madueng kaawm e, yuengyoe kâva e lah bout ka o. Hetnaw hah apinimouh a thokhai awh. Kai teh ka madueng kaawm e lah ka o dawkvah, hetnaw heh nâmouh ao awh aw na ti han.
22 Thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I lift up My hand to nations, And I raise up My ensign to peoples, And they have brought your sons in the bosom, And your daughters are carried on the shoulder.
Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, khenhaw! Kai ni khoram tangkuem kaawm e miphunnaw koe ka kut ka dâw teh, mitnoutnae hah ka vo pouh han. Ahnimouh ni nange na canu capanaw hah a kut hoi tawm awh vaiteh, a loung dawk hrawm awh vaiteh, a thokhai awh han.
23 And kings have been your nursing fathers, And their princesses—your nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to you, And they lick up the dust of your feet, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.”
Siangpahrangnaw ni nange camo tawm awh vaiteh, siangpahrangnaw teh nange camo ka khoum e lah ao awh han. Na hmalah tabawk awh vaiteh, na khok dawk e vaiphu hah a palem awh han. Kai teh Jehovah lah ka o e hai thoseh, kai na kangaihawinaw teh kayanae a ohoehnae hai thoseh na panue han.
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?
Athakaawme kut dawk hoi hnopai lawp han na maw. Taki ka tho e san hah rungngang han na maw.
25 For thus said YHWH: “Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And I strive with your striver, and I save your sons.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atangcalah, athakaawme ni man tangcoung e tami hah bout la han. Takitho e ni lawp tangcoung e lawphno hah bout la han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ka taran e hah kai ni ka taran vaiteh, na capanaw hah ka rungngang han.
26 And I have caused your oppressors to eat their own flesh, And they drink their own blood as new wine, And all flesh has known that I, YHWH, Your Savior, and your Redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!”
Nang na karektapnaw hah amamae tak ka ca sak han. Amamae thi hah misurtui nei e patetlah koung ka boum lah a nei awh han. Hatdawkvah, kai Jehovah teh nang ka rungngangkung, nang karatangkung, Jakop miphun dawk athakaawme Cathut, ao tie hah tami pueng ni a panue awh han telah a dei.
