Isaiah 50
1 Thus says YHWH, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Nangmae manu manae ca, kâmanae hah nâne ao. Nahoeh pawiteh, ka laiba dawkvah api koe maw nangmanaw hah na yo awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, namamae na payonnae dawkvah san lah na o awh. Namamouh kaya poenae dawkvah, nangmae manu ka manae doeh.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Kai ka tho navah bangkongmaw taminaw ao awh hoeh. Bangkongmaw na kaw awh lahun nah na pato awh hoeh. Kai ni na ratang thai awh hoeh nahanelah, ka kut a duem namaw. Rungngang thai hoeh nahanlah bahu ka tawn hoeh na maw. Khenhaw! kai ni ka yue teh, tuipui hai remphui. Palang pui hai kahrawng patetlah ka o sak. Tui ao hoeh dawk tanganaw a pawk awh. Tui kahran hoi a due awh.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
Kalvan teh hmonae hoi ka tangoung teh, burihni ka kâkhu sak.
4 YHWH has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Ka tâwn e koe lawk hoi a tawnnae ka dam sak thai nahanelah, Bawipa Jehovah ni thoumthainae lai na poe. Amom tangkuem kai hah na pâhlaw, ca ka kamtu e patetlah thaisak hanelah ka hnâ heh a pâhlaw.
5 YHWH has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
Bawipa Jehovah ni ka hnâ hah a paawng teh, kai hai kangek mahoeh. Ka taran mahoeh. Hnuklah kâhnawn mahoeh.
6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
Ka keng kahemnaw koe thoseh, hmaibeisam kapawnnaw koe thoseh, hmaibei ka patueng. Yeiraiponae hoi tamthawinae dawk hoi ka minhmai ka hrawk hoeh.
7 But YHWH will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp han. Hatdawkvah, yeirai ka po mahoeh. Hatdawkvah, lungtaw patetlah ka minhmai ka hruek teh, kayak mahoeh tie ka panue.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
Kai tangnae na kapoekung teh a hnai toe. Apimaw na tuk han. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw. Kamtueng awh sei. Na ka tuk hane teh apimaw, rek na hnai naseh.
9 Look, YHWH will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
Bawipa Jehovah ni na kabawp roeroe han. Apinimaw kai hah na sung sak han. Hot patetlah e taminaw teh napon patetlah ao awh vaiteh, khakbara ni koung a ca awh han.
10 Who is among you who fears YHWH, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of YHWH, and rely on his God.
Nangmouh dawk apimaw BAWIPA ka taket, ahni teh a san e lawk ngai naseh. Apimaw angnae tawn laipalah hmonae dawk ouk ka cet. Jehovah min hah kâuep nateh, amae Cathut dawk kamngawi naseh.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Hmai hah patawi teh, amamouh hmaitali hoi muen kâkatum e taminaw, namamae hmaiang dawk thoseh, namamouh ni patawi e hmainaw dawk thoseh, cet awh. Hetheh ka kut dawk hoi ka sin e hmai teh namamouh koe lah tangpek vaiteh, lungmathoe laihoi na yan awh han.
