Isaiah 49
1 Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: YHWH has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he 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 has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
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 said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
Oe Isarel nang teh kaie san doeh. Nang dawk hoi ka bawilennae a kamnue han telah ka ti toe.
4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with YHWH, and my reward 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 Now says YHWH who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of YHWH, and my God has become 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, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the remnant of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part 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 says YHWH, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of YHWH who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen 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 says YHWH, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
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 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
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 shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
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 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Kaie mon pueng teh lamthung lah ka coung sak han. Kaie lam kalennaw hai ka tawm han.
12 Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
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, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for YHWH has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
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 But Zion said, "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 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will 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 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Kai ni ka kuttabei dawk ca ka thut teh, na kâkalupnae rapan teh ka hmalah pou ao.
17 Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart 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 all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says YHWH, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, 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 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
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 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may 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 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
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 says the Lord YHWH, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
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 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am YHWH; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
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 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Athakaawme kut dawk hoi hnopai lawp han na maw. Taki ka tho e san hah rungngang han na maw.
25 But thus says YHWH, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
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 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, 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.
