< Isaiah 45 >
1 This is what Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, in order to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, and to open the doors before him, so that gates remain open:
Amah kah a koelh Cyrus te BOEIPA loh, “Namtom rhoek te a mikhmuh ah hnaa hamla a bantang kut te ka moem pah. A mikhmuh ah thohkhaih rhoek te ong hamla manghai rhoek cinghen khaw ka hlam pah ni. Te vaengah vongka te kalh uh mahpawh.
2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut in pieces their iron bars,
Kamah he na mikhmuh ah ka pongpa vetih ngoem te ka nolh rhoe ka nolh ni. Rhohum thohkhaih te ka thuk vetih thi thohkalh ka tloek ni.
3 and I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden away, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, I, the God of Israel.
Hmaisuep khuikah thakvoh neh a huephael kah kawn te nang taengah kam paek bitni. Te daengah ni BOEIPA kamah he na ming neh aka khue Israel Pathen la na ming eh.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name, giving you a title of honor, though you have not known me.
Ka sal Jakob neh ka coelh Israel ham nang te na ming nen ni kang khue. Kai nan ming pawt cakhaw nang kan mingkhaep coeng.
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other; there is no God but me. I will arm you for battle, though you have not known me;
Kai he Yahovah ni. Kai kah a voelah a tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe khaw a om moenih. Nang te kam poeh mai cakhaw kai nan ming hae moenih.
6 that people may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no god but me: I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
Kai Yahovah kamah pawt atah a tloe om pawt tih a tloe a om pawt te khocuk khomik taeng lamloh khotlak duela ming uh saeh.
7 I form the light and create darkness; I bring peace and create disaster; I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
Vangnah aka hlinsai tih a hmuep aka suen. Rhoepnah aka saii tih boethae aka suen. Te rhoek boeih aka saii khaw BOEIPA kamah ni.
8 You heavens, rain down from above! Let the skies rain down righteousness. Let the earth absorb it, that salvation may sprout up, and righteousness spring up together with it. I, Yahweh, have created them both.
Vaan khaw a so lamkah ha pha lamtah khomong khaw duengnah ha sih saeh. Diklai te ong uh saeh lamtah daemnah loh thaihsu saeh. Duengnah khaw cuen laeh saeh. Te te kai Yahovah long ni ka suen.
9 Woe to anyone who argues with the one who formed him, to him who is like any other earthen pot among all the earthen pots in the ground! Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles on it'?
Anunae, diklai paikaek lakli kah paikaek pakhat loh amah aka hlinsai te a oelh mai. Amlai loh amah aka picai te, “Nang kah bisai khaw banim na saii dae, a kut khaw om pawt nim?” a ti nah cop a?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you fathering?' or to a woman, 'What are you giving birth to?'
Anunae, a napa la, “Balae tih nan sak,” a manu te, “Balae tih nan yom?” aka ti mai.
11 This is what Yahweh says, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: 'Why do you ask questions about what I will do for my children? Do you tell me what to do concerning the work of my hands?'
Israel kah Yahovah cim neh anih aka hlinsai loh, “Aka thoeng ham te kamah n'dawt lah. Ka ca rhoek ham neh ka kut dongkah bisai ham te kai nan uen mai.
12 'I made the earth and created man on it. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all the stars to appear.
Kai loh diklai khaw diklai hman kah hlang khaw ka saii. Kai loh ka suen tangtae vaan ke khaw kamah kut loh a dih tih a caenmpuei rhoek khaw boeih ka uen.
13 I stirred Cyrus up in righteousness, and I will smooth out all his paths. He will build my city; he will let my exiled people go home, and not for price nor bribe,'” says Yahweh of hosts.
Anih te duengnah dongah ka haeng vetih a longpuei te boeih ka dueng pah ni. Anih loh kai kah khopuei te a khoeng vetih ka hlangsol la a tueih ni. A phu khaw thui mahpawh, kapbaih khaw hoe mahpawh,” a ti he caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui.
14 This is what Yahweh says, “The earnings of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush with the Sabeans, men of tall stature, will be brought to you. They will be yours. They will follow after you, coming in chains. They will bow down to you and plead with you saying, 'Surely God is with you, and there is no other except him.'”
BOEIPA loh Egypt kah thaphu khaw, Kusah neh hlang sang Sabean kah a thenpom loh nang te m'paan uh vetih namah taengah om uh ni. Nang hnukah hmaipom neh pongpa uh ni. Nang taengla ha pawk uh vaengah khaw bakop uh ni. Nang taengah te, “Nang taengah Pathen rhep om pai tih hlang tloe a om moenih, pathen tloe a om moenih,” tila thangthui uh ni.
15 Truly you are a God who hides yourself, God of Israel, Savior.
Namah tah Israel Pathen, khangkung neh muei aka thuh Pathen pai ni.
16 They will all be ashamed and disgraced together; those who carve idols will walk in humiliation.
Amih te thikat la boeih yak uh vetih a hmaithae uh bal ni. Muei saii kutthai rhoek te mingthae neh van uh ni.
17 But Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation; you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
Israel te BOEIPA loh kumhal loeihnah dongah a khang ni. Kumhal ah a yoeyah la na yak voel pawt vetih na hmaithae voel mahpawh.
18 This is what Yahweh says, who created the heavens, the true God who created the earth and made it, who established it. He created it, not as a waste, but designed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
He khaw vaan aka suen BOEIPA long ni a thui. Pathen amah loh diklai a hlom tih a saii. Diklai he a hinghong pawt ham a soepsoei phoeiah khosa rhoek ham a suen tih a hlinsai pah. BOEIPA kamah phoeiah a tloe a om moenih.
19 I have not spoken in private, in some hidden place; I did not say to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain!' I am Yahweh, who speaks sincerely; I declare the things that are right.
A huephael neh diklai hmaisuep hmuen ah ka thui moenih. Jakob tiingan taengah hinghong la kai n'tlap ka ti nah moenih. Duengnah aka thui BOEIPA kamah loh vanat la ka puen.
20 Assemble yourselves and come! Gather together, you refugees from among the nations! They have no knowledge, those who carry carved images and pray to gods that cannot save.
Namtom hlangyong rhoek te coi uh thae lamtah ha kun uh laeh. Thikat la ha mop uh laeh. Amamih kah mueithuk thing a phueih nawn khaw ming uh pawt tih aka khang thai pawh pathen taengah thangthui uh.
21 Come close and declare it to me, bring the evidence! Let them conspire together. Who has shown this from long ago? Who announced it? Was it not I, Yahweh? There is no God except me, a just God and a Savior; there is no one besides me.
Puen uh lamtah ha mop uh lah. Tun ah khaw uen uh thae saeh. Hlamat lamloh aka yaak sak tih daengrhae daengkhoi la aka puen te unim? BOEIPA kamah moenih a? Duengnah Pathen kamah pawt atah Pathen tloe om pawh. Kai phoeiah he khangkung a om moenih.
22 Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Diklai khobawt boeih loh kai taengla ha mael uh lamtah khang la om uh lah. Kai Pathen phoeiah Pathen koep a om moenih.
23 By myself I swear, speaking my just decree, and it will not turn back: 'To me every knee will bend, every tongue will swear.
Kamah loh ka toemngam coeng dongah ka ka lamloh aka thoeng duengnah ol tah balkhong voel mahpawh. Kai taengah khuklu boeih a cungkueng vetih ol boeih a caeng ni.
24 They will say of me, “In Yahweh alone are salvation and strength.”'” They will all be ashamed who are angry at him.
Kai BOEIPA bueng dongah ni duengnah neh a sarhi la a thui eh. Amah taengah aka lungoe rhoek khaw a taengla ha pawk uh vetih boeih yak uh ni.
25 In Yahweh all the descendants of Israel will be justified; they will take pride in him.
Israel kah tiingan boeih tah BOEIPA rhangneh tang uh vetih a thangthen uh ni.
