Isaiah 63
1 [I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
Bozrah himbai a thimduk neh Edom lamkah aka pawk he nim? A pueinak nen mah a hiin coeng. Amah kah thadueng cungkuem neh aka khuum mai te. Khang khungdaeng ham khaw kamah long ni duengnah neh ka thui.
2 [I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
Balae tih na pueinak te a thim? Na himbai khaw misur rhom khuiah a nook bangla.
3 [He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
Sum khaw kamah bueng long ni ka huelh. Pilnam pakhat khaw kai taengah nuen pawh. Ka thintoek ah amih a neet tih ka kosi neh amih ka taelh. A thii loh ka himbai a haeh tih ka hnicu he a pum la ka nok.
4 I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
Phulohnah hnin ham te ka lungbuei ah hing cakhaw kai ham tlannah kum ha pai coeng.
5 I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
Ka paelki van akhaw aka bom om pawh. Ka pong bal akhaw aka talong om pawh. Ka bantha loh kamah ham a khang tih ka kosi loh amah la kai n'duel.
6 Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
Ka thintoek ah pilnam ka suntlae tih ka kosi neh amih ka rhuihmil sak. Amih thii te diklai dongah ka tlak sak.
7 I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
BOEIPA loh mamih ham boeih a thuung van bangla BOEIPA kah sitlohnah neh BOEIPA koehnah ni ka thui eh. Amih kah haidamnah bangla amah kah sitlohnah cangpai neh Israel imkhui te thennah neh muep a thuung.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
“Amih ka pilnam he tah camoe khaw rhilat mahpawh,” a ti coeng dongah BOEIPA tah amih aka khang la om coeng.
9 When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
Amih kah citcai boeih dongah BOEIPAamah ham khaw khobing sut. A mikhmuh kah puencawn loh amih te a khang. A lungnah neh a thinphatnah dongah amih te a tlan. Khosuen lamkah hnin takuem amih te a poeh tih amih te a ludoeng.
10 But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
Tedae amih loh amah kah Mueihla cim te a koek tih kothae a paekuh. Te dongah amih taengla mael tih thunkha bangla amih te amah loh a vathoh thil.
11 Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
Khosuen tue kah a pilnam Moses a thoelh. Amih te a boiva aka dawn neh tuipuei lamloh aka khuen te melae? A kotak ah a Mueihla Cim te aka khueh te melae?
12 Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
Amah kah boeimang bantha te Moses bantang ah aka pongpa sak, amah kah kumhal ming dang sak ham amih mikhmuh lamkah tui aka phih.
13 Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
Amih te khosoek ah marhang bangla tuidung longah a mawt dae paloe uh pawh.
14 They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
Kolbawn la aka suntla rhamsa bangla BOEIPA Mueihla loh anih a duem sak. Boeimang ming te namah hut la khueh ham ni na pilnam khaw na hmaithawn tangloeng.
15 [Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
Vaan lamloh paelki lamtah na imhmuen cim lamloh hmuh lah. Na boeimang neh na thatlainah na thayung thamal melae? Na ko a hah neh na haidamnah he kai taengah thiim uh.
16 You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
Kaimih napa tah namah pai ni. Abraham loh kaimih m'ming moenih. Israel long khaw kaimih m'hmat moenih. Kaimih napa he Yahovah namah ni. Khosuen lamloh kaimih aka tlan khaw namah ming ni.
17 Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
BOEIPA aw balae tih na longpuei lamloh kaimih kho nan hmang sak. Namah hinyahnah lamloh kaimih lungbuei na hit sak. Na rho koca na sal rhoek ham ha mael laeh.
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Namah kah pilnam cim kolkalh a pang uh vaengah kaimih kah rhal rhoek loh na rhokso te a suntlae uh.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Khosuen lamkah ka om uh coeng dae amih soah na taemrhai pawt dongah amih taengah na ming te khue van pawh. Vaan ke na phen koinih na mikhmuh ah na suntlak sak vetih tlang rhoek khaw moelh uh sue.
