Isaiah 55
1 “All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
Oe, tui kahran pueng, tui aonae koe tho awh. Tangka ka tawn hoeh naw tho awh. Ran awh nateh net awh. Tangka hoi aphu poe laipalah tho awh nateh misurtui hoi sanutui ran awh haw.
2 [What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
Rawca lah kaawm hoeh e dawk nangmouh ni na tangka thoseh, von ka paha thai hoeh e dawk na hnopai thoseh bangkongmaw na pâbaw awh. Ka lawk thai awh haw. Kahawie rawca hah cat awh. Na hringnae a nawm han.
3 Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
Na hnâpakeng awh nateh, thai awh haw. Hottelah na tet awh pawiteh, nangmae muitha teh a hring han. Kai ni hai, nangmouh hoi a yungyoe lawkkamnae ka sak vaiteh, Devit dawk lungmanae ka caksak han.
4 By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
Khenhaw! ahni teh, tami pueng hanelah, kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o sak hane thoseh, taminaw hanelah kahrawikung kacue lah thoseh, miphunnaw koe ka poe toe.
5 And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
BAWIPA Cathut hoi Isarel Tami Kathoung kecu dawk, na panue boihoeh e miphun hah na kaw han. Nang na ka panuek boihoeh e miphun hah, nang koe a yawng han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a bawilennae caksak toe telah ati.
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Hmu thai lahun nah BAWIPA hah tawng awh, a hnai lahun nah ama hah kaw awh.
7 Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
Tamikathout ni a lamthung cettakhai naseh. Tamikalan hoeh e ni a pouknae thoseh, a pahnawt vaiteh, BAWIPA koe ban naseh. Hottelah tetpawiteh, a pahren han. Maimae Cathut koe kâthung naseh, hottelah tetpawiteh, a ngaithoum han.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka pouknae heh, nangmae pouknae hoi kâvan hoeh. Ka lamthung hai na lamthung hoi kâvan hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
9 Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
Kalvan heh talai hlak a rasang e patetlah ka lamthung hai na lamthung hlak a rasang teh, ka pouknae hai na pouknae hlak a rasang.
10 Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ratui hoi tadamtui teh, kalvan hoi a rak teh bout ban toung laipalah, cati kahei koe cati hah a poe teh, rawca ka cat hane koe rawca hah a poe thai nahan, talai a duk sak teh, a kung a pâw sak teh, a paw a paw sak e patetlah,
11 And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
Ka kâko hoi ka tâcawt e ka lawk teh ao han. Ayawmlah kama koe bout ban mahoeh. Ka ngainae a kuep sak vaiteh, ka patoun ngainae dawk kuepcingnae a hmu han.
12 You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lunghawi laihoi na tâco awh vaiteh, karoumcalah na ceikhai awh han. Montang monruinaw ni nangmae hmalah la a sak awh han. Kahrawng e thingnaw pueng ni a kuttabawng awh han.
13 Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
Pâkhing yueng lah hmaica, pho yueng lah tuihannaw a pâw han. Hote hno teh BAWIPA hanelah minhawinae hoi, kahmat thai hoeh e a yungyoe mitnout lah ao han.
