Isaiah 46
1 Bel sinketh down; Nebo falleth; Their images are laid upon beasts and cattle; Those that ye once bore are packed upon them; A burden to the weary beast!
Bel te koisu tih Nebo khun coeng. Amih kah muei te mulhing neh rhamsa dongah om. Na hnohoei pataeng buhmueh rhathih ham tah hnorhih la a tloeng.
2 They sink down; they fall together; They cannot rescue the burden; They themselves go into captivity.
A khun neh rhenten a koisu uh dongah hnorhih poenghal uh thai pawh. Te dongah amih kah hinglu tah tamna la cet.
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel; Ye that have been borne by me from your birth, That have been carried by me from your earliest breath!
Jakob imkhui neh bungko lamloh ka yom tih ka bung dong lamkah ka poeh Israel imkhui kah a meet boeih loh kamah taengkah he ya uh saeh.
4 Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and will deliver you.
Patong duela kai tah amah thim la ka om tih, sampok duela ka laetaep ni. Kamah loh ka saii dongah kamah long ni ka phueih eh. Ka laetaep vetih ka poenghal sak ni.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and compare me? Yea, to whom will ye compare me, that we may be like?
U taengah nim kai nan lutlat sak uh vetih nan tluk sak uh eh, kai aka puet ham kamah bangla na om venim?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver in the balance; They hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; They fall down, yea, they worship it.
Sungsa dong lamloh sui aka buk tih capu kong neh tangka aka thuek. Aka cilpoe te a paang uh tih pathen a saii pah te a buluk thil uh tih a bawk uh.
7 They lift him upon the shoulder, and carry him; They set him in his place, and there he standeth; From his place he moveth not; Yea, one may cry to him, yet doth he not answer, Nor save him out of his distress.
A laengpang dongah a koh uh tih a laetaep uh. Tedae amah hmuen la a tloeng akhaw a pai hmuen lamloh nong pawh. Anih te a doek akhaw a citcai lamloh doo pawt tih amah te khang bal pawh.
8 Remember these things, and show yourselves men; Lay them to heart, ye apostates!
He poek uh lamtah sap uh lah. Boekoek rhoek loh na lungbuei te mael takuh.
9 Remember the former things in ancient times! For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
Khosuen kah te lamhma la poek uh. Pathen kamah phoeiah Pathen tloe om pawt tih kai bang khaw om pawh.
10 Declaring the end from the beginning; From ancient times the things that were not yet done; Saying, My purpose shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure;
A tongcuek lamkah hmailong due khaw, hlamat lamkah a saii uh noek pawt te aka puen loh, “Kai kah cilsuep tah thoo vetih ka huengaih boeih te ka saii ni,” a ti.
11 Calling from the East the eagle, The man that executeth my purpose from a far country; I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Khocuk lamkah vatlung neh khohla bangsang khohmuen lamkah a cilsuep hlang te ka cilsuep la ka khue. Ka thui tangtae te ni ka thoeng sak bal vetih, ka taeng tangtae te ka saii bal eh.
12 Hearken to me, ye stubborn-hearted, That are far from deliverance!
Kamah taengah hnatun uh lah, lungbuei aka lueng rhoek he duengnah lamkah neh daengrhae daengkhoi.
13 I have brought near my deliverance; it is not far off; My salvation shall not tarry; I will give to Zion salvation, To Israel, my glory.
Ka duengnah kang khuen he hlavak pawt tih kamah lamkah loeihnah he uelh mahpawh. Te dongah loeihnah he Zion taengah, ka boeimang te Israel taengah ka paek ni.
