Isaiah 26
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God has made salvation its walls and ramparts.
Hat hnin vah, Judah ram dawk hete la heh a sak awh han. Kaimouh koe kacakpounge kho ao. Rungngangnae rapannaw hoi kânguenae na poe han.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
Yuemkamcu e tamikalan miphun a kâen nahanelah, kho longkhanaw hah paawng awh haw.
3 The mind that is stayed on you, you will keep him in perfect peace, for he trusts in you.
BAWIPA ni ama kâuep ni teh a lung kathounge naw hah ka kuep e lungmawngnae thungvah, a khetyawt han.
4 Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting rock.
BAWIPA hah poe kâuep awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jehovah Cathut teh kangning e lungsong doeh.
5 For he will bring down those who live proudly; the fortified city he will lay low, he will lay low to the ground; he will level it to the dust.
Ahni teh, a rasangnae hmuen, ka talue e kho dawk kaawm e naw hah a pabo han. Hote kho hah a rahnoum sak han. Hote kho hah rahnoum sak vaiteh, vaiphu dawk a ta han.
6 It will be trampled down by the feet of the poor and the treading of the needy.
Khok ni khopui a coungroe han. Mathoenaw e khok, a thakatawnnaw e khok ni a coungroe han.
7 The path of the righteous is level, Righteous One; the path of the righteous you make straight.
Tami kalannaw e lamthung teh a lan. Oe kalan e BAWIPA, nama ni, tami kalannaw e lamthung hah na lan sak.
8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, we wait for you; your name and your reputation are our desire.
Oe BAWIPA kaimouh teh, nange lawkcengnae lamthung dawk nang hah na ring awh. Na min hoi pahnimhoehnae teh, ka muitha ni a doun e lah ao.
9 I have longed for you in the night; yes, my spirit within me seeks you earnestly. For when your judgments come on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn about righteousness.
Tangmin vah ka muitha ni Bawipa nang na doun. Ka muitha ni ka thungvah, Bawipa nang na tawng. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai dawk lawkcengnae ao toteh, talaivan kaawm e naw ni lannae hah a kamtu awh han.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked one, but he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he acts wickedly and does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
Tamikathoutnaw teh, hawinae a hmu awh nakunghai, lannae kamtu thai awh hoeh. Ahni teh, lannae ram dawk patenghai kathout hno hah a sak awh teh, BAWIPA e taluenae hah banglahai ngai awh hoeh.
11 Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, but they do not notice. But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame, because fire of your adversaries will devour them.
Oe BAWIPA, na kut hah na dâw eiteh, ahnimouh ni hmawt awh hoeh. Na miphunnaw hanelah, na lung patawnae hah ahnimouh patue nateh yeirai phawt sak haw. Na tarannaw hoi kâkuen e hmai ni ahnimouh teh, kang naseh.
12 Yahweh, you will bring about peace for us; for indeed, you have also accomplished all our works for us.
Oe BAWIPA, nang ni kaimanaw hah lungmawngnae na poe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh hanelah nang ni na sak e seng doeh.
13 Yahweh our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us; but we praise your name alone.
Kaimae BAWIPA Cathut, nang hloilah alouke bawipanaw ni kaimouh teh na uk awh toe. Hatei, nange na min duengdoeh kaimouh ni ka pâkuem awh.
14 They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not arise. Indeed, you came in judgment and destroyed them, and made every memory of them to perish.
Ahnimouh teh a due awh toe. Bout hring awh mahoeh toe. Ka dout e lah ao awh dawkvah, thaw awh mahoeh toe. Hatdawkvah, Bawipa, tho nateh, ahnimanaw hah raphoe nateh, bout pâkuem kawi pueng hah raphoe pouh haw.
15 You have increased the nation, Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are honored; you have extended all the borders of the land.
Bawipa nang ni, nama e miphun na pung sak toe. Oe BAWIPA nang ni nama e miphun na pung sak teh, lentoenae na kamnue toe. Ramrinaw hai na pakaw toe.
16 Yahweh, in trouble have they looked to you; they whispered prayers when your discipline was on them.
Oe BAWIPA, runae kâhmo toteh, nang koe ahnimouh teh a tho awh. Nang ni ahnimouh na yue toteh, a ratoum awh.
17 As a pregnant woman nears the time for her to give birth, when she is in pain and cries out in her labor pains, so we have been before you, Lord.
Oe BAWIPA, camovawn e napui ni, camo khe hnin a hnai toteh, a pataw dawkvah a hram e patetlah kaimouh hai nange hmalah hot patetlah ka o awh.
18 We have been pregnant, we have been in labor, but it is as if we have only given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
Kaimouh teh camo ka vawn awh niteh, patawnae puenghoi ka khang awh ei nakunghai, kahlî doeh ka khe awh. Kaimouh teh talai van vah, hloutnae hah ka tâcawt sak thai awh hoeh. Talaivan kaawm naw hai rawm awh hoeh.
19 Your dead will live; their dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing for joy, you who live in the dust; for your dew is the dew of light, and the earth will bring forth its dead.
Bawipa nange tami kadout naw teh a hring awh han. Ahnimae tak teh a thaw awh han. Vaiphu dawk kaawm e naw, kâhlaw hoi thaw awh vaiteh, lunghawi la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa nange tadamtui teh, angnae tadamtui patetlah ao teh, talai ni hai kadout e naw hah a khe han.
20 Go, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until the indignation has passed by.
Ka taminaw tho awh. Namamae rakhan thung kâen awh nateh, na hnuklah tho hah taren awh haw. A lungkhueknae a roum totouh, dongdeng kâhrawk awh.
21 For, look, Yahweh is about to come out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will uncover her bloodshed, and will no longer conceal her slain.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni talai van kaawm e naw hah, a yonae patetlah runae poe hanelah, ama onae koehoi a tâco. Hat toteh, talai ni amae van rabawk e thi hah a pâpho han. Talai dawk thei lah kaawm e naw hah bout ramuk thai mahoeh toe.
