Isaiah 41
1 Be silent to me O islands and peoples let them renew strength let them approach then let them speak together for judgment let us draw near.
Sanglak te kai hmaiah duem om uh. Namtu rhoek khaw thadueng cawn saeh lamtah ha mop uh saeh. Te vaengah, “Laitloeknah ah tun capit uh sih,” ti uh saeh.
2 Who? has he stirred up from [the] east righteousness he calls him to foot his he delivers up before him nations and kings he subdues he makes [them] like dust sword his like chaff driven about bow his.
Khocuk lamloh aka haenghang te unim? Anih te a kho kungah duengnah la a khue. Namtom rhoek te a mikhmuh ah a tloeng pah. Manghai rhoek te a hnaa tih a cunghang neh laipi bangla a saii, a liva te divawt bangla a khoek.
3 He pursues them he passes on peace a path with feet his not he comes.
Amih loh a hloem vaengah a kho loh a cawt noek pawh caehlong te sading la a poeng.
4 Who? has he done [it] and has he accomplished [it]? calling forth the generations from [the] beginning I Yahweh [am] first and with [the] last I [am] he.
A lu lamloh a saii tih a khuen phoeiah cadilcahma aka khue te unim? Lamhma khaw kai Yahovah ni, a hnukkhueng taengah khaw kamah ka om.
5 They have seen islands so they may be afraid [the] ends of the earth they tremble they have drawn near and they have come!
Sanglak rhoek loh a hmuh uh tih a rhih uh. Diklai khobawt rhoek khaw a lakueng uh dongah ha tawn uh tih halo uh.
6 Each neighbor his they help and to brother his he says be strong.
Hlang loh a hui te bom uh saeh lamtah a manuca te, “Thaahuel lah,” ti nah saeh.
7 And he encouraged a craftsman a metalsmith a smoother of a hammer a striker of an anvil saying of the soldering [is] good it and he strengthened it with nails not it will be shaken.
Kutthai loh sui aka cilpoe te a thaphoh. Kilung neh aka picai loh thilung aka hnaa te, “Khangtui khaw khaw then ngawn,” a ti nah. A tuen pawt ham thicung neh a khing.
8 And you O Israel servant my Jacob whom I have chosen you [the] offspring of Abraham friend my.
Tedae ka lungnah Abraham tiingan, ka sal Israel nang neh Jakob nang la kan tuek.
9 Whom I took hold of you from [the] ends of the earth and from remotest parts its I called you and I said to you [are] servant my you I have chosen you and not I have rejected you.
Diklai khobawt lamloh nang kan doek tih, a hlahloei lamkah ni nang kang khue. Nang te, “Ka sal ni,” ka ti dongah nang kan coelh. Te dongah nang te kan hnawt moenih.
10 May not you be afraid for [am] with you I may not you fear for I [am] God your I have strengthened you also I have helped you also I have supported you with [the] right [hand] of righteousness my.
Rhih boeh, nang taengah kamah ka om. Mangthong ngawn boeh kai he na Pathen ni. Na nam kan ning sak vetih nang kam bom ngawn bitni. Kamah kah duengnah bantang kut neh nang kan moem bitni.
11 There! they will be ashamed and they may be put to shame all those [who] are angry with you they will be as nothing so they may perish [the] people of strife your.
Nang taengah aka lungoe boeih tah yak uh vetih a hmaithae uh ni. Namah taengah tuituknah aka khueh hlang rhoek a hong la om vetih milh uh ni.
12 You will seek them and not you will find them [the] people of strife your they will be as nothing and as nothing [the] people of warfare your.
Na rhalcak te hlang na tlap cakhaw na hmu mahpawh. Nang kah caemtloek hlang rhoek te a hong neh a poei-oep la om ni.
13 For I [am] Yahweh God your [who] takes hold of right [hand] your who says to you may not you be afraid I I will help you.
Kai tah na bantang kut aka moem tih nang taengah, “Rhih boeh nang te kamah loh kam bom bitni,” aka ti Yahovah na Pathen ni.
14 May not you be afraid O worm of Jacob O men of Israel I I will help you [the] utterance of Yahweh and [is] redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel.
Jakob talam, Israel hlang loh rhih boeh. Kamah loh nang kan bom bitni. Israel kah hlangcim nang aka tlan, BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
15 Here! I will make you a threshing-sledge sharp new an owner of teeth you will thresh mountains so you may crush [them] and hills like chaff you will make.
Nang te tloep dongkah thingphael no a thai kah kungmah la kang khueh ni. Tlang na til vetih na tip sak ni. Som khaw cangkik bangla na khueh ni.
16 You will winnow them and a wind it will carry away them and a tempest it will scatter them and you you will be glad in Yahweh in [the] holy [one] of Israel you will boast.
Amih te na rhuek vaengah yilh loh a khuen vetih hlipuei loh a taekyak ni. Tedae nang tah BOEIPA dongah na omngaih vetih Israel kah a cim dongah na thangthen bitni.
17 The poor [people] and the needy [people] [are] seeking water and there not tongue their with thirst it is dry I Yahweh I will answer them [the] God of Israel not I will forsake them.
Mangdaeng neh khodaeng loh tui a tlap. Tuihalh dongah a lai om kolla koh coeng. Kai Israel Pathen Yahovah loh amih te ka doo tih amih te ka hnoo moenih.
18 I will open on bare heights rivers and in [the] middle of valleys springs I will make [the] wilderness a pool of water and a land dry springs of water.
Caphoei cuk ah tuiva, kolbawn laklung ah tuisih ka phuet sak ni. Khosoek te tuibap tui la, khohmuen rhamrhae te tui hnun la ka khueh ni.
19 I will put in the wilderness cedar[s] acacia tree[s] and myrtle tree[s] and tree[s] of oil I will set in the desert plain cypress[es] elm[s] and box tree[s] together.
Khosoek ah lamphai, thingkoi, cuihal neh situi thing ka khueh ni. Kolken ah hmaical, kungkang neh ta-aw thing khaw tun a khueh.
20 So that they may see so they may know so they may set so they may have insight all together that [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this and [the] holy [one] of Israel he has created it.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kut loh a saii tih Israel kah a cim loh a suen te hmu uh saeh lamtah ming uh saeh, dueh uh saeh lamtah tun yakming uh saeh.
21 Bring near case your he says Yahweh bring near arguments your he says [the] king of Jacob.
BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih kah tuituknah phoe puei uh,” a ti. Jakob manghai long tah, “Namamih kah oelhnah te tawn uh,” a ti.
22 Let them bring [them] near and they may tell to us [the things] which they will happen the former [things] - what? [were] they tell so let us take [them] heart our so we may know end their or the coming [things] proclaim to us.
Hnukbuet kah aka thoeng te mamih taengah tawn saeh lamtah thui uh saeh. Amih loh mebang a thui akhaw mamih kah lungbuei ah khueh uh sih. A hmailong ah mamih kah n'yaak bangla a thoeng te ming uh sih.
23 Tell the [things] coming to afterwards so let us know that [are] gods you also you will do good and you may do harm and let us fear (so let us see *Q(K)*) altogether.
A hnuk ah aka lo te thui lamtah nangmih na pathen uh te kam hmat uh eh. Na thae na then khaw ka uem uh vetih ka sawt khaw ka sawt mai bitni.
24 Here! you [are] from nothing and work your [is] from something worthless [is] an abomination [one who] he chooses you.
Nangmih te tangkiktanglai ni he. Na bisai khaw a hong lakah nah. Nangmih aka coelh te khaw tueilaehkoi ni.
25 I have stirred up from [the] north and he has come from [the] rising of [the] sun he will call on name my so he may come officials like mud and like a potter [who] he tramples clay.
Tlangpuei lamloh ka haeng tih khocuk khomik taeng lamloh halo. Ka ming te a phuk tih ukkung rhoek te amlai bangla a pah. Te vaengah amsai bangla tangnong a daep.
26 Who? did he tell [it] from [the] beginning so we may know and from before so we may say correct also there not [was one who] told also there not [was one who] proclaimed also there not [was one who] heard words your.
A tong lamkah unim aka puen tih mikhmuh lamkah khaw ka ming vetih thuem ka ti uh eh. Aka puen khaw om pawh, aka yaak sak khaw om pawh, na ol aka ya khaw om pawh.
27 A first [one] to Zion here! here [are] they and to Jerusalem a bearer of news I gave.
Amih he lamhma la Zion taengah khaw, Jerusalem taengah khaw aka phong la ka paek coeng he.
28 And [when] I may look and there not [is] a person and from these and there not [is] a counselor and I will ask them and they may bring back a word.
Ka hmuh nawn khaw hlang om pawh. Amih ka dawt vaengah ol mael hamla amih aka uen khaw om pawh.
29 There! all of them [are] deception [are] nothing deeds their [are] a wind and emptiness molten images their.
Amih te boeih ah boethae ni ke. A bibi khaw a poei-oep, a tuisi khaw a khohli neh a hinghong ni.
