< Isaiah 51 >

1 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look at the rock from which you were chiseled and to the quarry from which you were cut.
Duengnah aka hloem tih BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek loh kai ol he hnatun lah. Nangmih n'daeh nah lungpang neh nangmih n'koeih nah lungkhui tangrhom te paelki uh.
2 Look at Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you; for when he was a lone individual, I called him. I blessed him and made him many.
Na pa Abraham neh nangmih aka yom Sarah te so lah. Anih te pakhat bueng ni ka khue dae anih yoethen ka paek tih ka ping sak.
3 Yes, Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; her wilderness he made like Eden, and her desert plains beside the Jordan River valley like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving, and the sound of singing.
BOEIPA loh Zion a hloep vetih a imrhong khaw boeih a hloep pah ni. A khosoek te Eden bangla, a kolken te BOEIPA dum bangla a khueh ni. A khuiah omngaihnah neh kohoenah a hmuh vetih, uemonah neh oldi ol a yaak ni.
4 “Be attentive to me, my people; and listen to me, my people! For I will issue a decree, and I will make my justice to be a light for the nations.
Ka pilnam loh kamah taengah hnatung uh lamtah ka namtu loh kamah taengah hnakaeng uh. Olkhueng tah kai taeng lamloh ha thoeng vetih ka tiktamnah te pilnam kah vangnah la ka hoep ni.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation will go out, and my arm will judge the nations; the coastlands will wait for me; for my arm they will eagerly wait.
Ka duengnah he yoei tih kai kah daemnah tah ha pawk coeng. Ka ban loh pilnam ham lai a tloek ni. Kamah he sanglak rhoek loh n'lamtawn uh tih ka ban a ngaiuep uh.
6 Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look at the earth beneath, for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die like flies. But my salvation will continue forever, and my righteousness will never stop working.
Na mik vaan la dai lamtah diklai dangdik ke khaw paelki lah. Vaan ke hmaikhu bangla cing vetih diklai khaw himbai bangla hmawn ni. A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw pilhlip bangla duek ni. Kamah kah khangnah he kumhal duela om vetih ka duengnah he rhihyawp mahpawh.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your heart: Do not fear the insults of men, nor be disheartened by their abuse.
Duengnah aka ming tih a lungbuei ah ka olkhueng aka dueh pilnam loh kamah taengah hnatun uh lah. Hlanghing kah kokhahnah te rhih uh boel lamtah amih kah honah dongah rhihyawp uh boeh.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
Amih te bungbo loh himbai bangla a caak vetih keet loh tumul bangla a yoop ni. Tedae kai kah duengnah tah kumhal duela, kamah kah khangnah he cadilcahma kah cadilcahma duela om ni.
9 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, arm of Yahweh. Awake as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not you who crushed Rahab, you who pierced the monster?
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, BOEIPA bantha kah a sarhi te bai laeh. Khosuen thawnpuei khothoeng tue kah bangla haenghang laeh. Rahab aka daeh tih tuihnam aka poeih te nang moenih a?
10 Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep, and make the depths of the sea into a way for the redeemed to pass through?
Tuipuei tui aka dung tangkik aka kak sak, a tlan rhoek loh a kat nah ham longpuei te tuipuei dung ah aka khueh khaw nang moenih a?
11 The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come to Zion with cries of joy and with gladness forever on their heads; and gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and mourning will flee away.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah a lat rhoek tah ha mael uh vetih tamlung neh, a lu dongkah kumhal kohoenah neh Zion a pha uh ni. Omngaihnah neh kohoenah loh a kae vaengah tah kothaenah neh hueinah khaw rhaelrham pawn ni.
12 “I, I, am he who comforts you. Why are you afraid of men, who will die, the sons of mankind, who are made like grass?
Nangmih aka hloep te khaw kai kamah ni. Nang hlanghing, duek aka rhih te unim? Hlang capa he sulrham bangla aka lam ni a tloeng uh.
13 Why have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth? You are in constant dread every day because of the hot fury of the oppressor when he decides to destroy. Where is the fury of the oppressor?
Nang aka saii, vaan aka dih tih diklai aka suen BOEIPA te na hnilh. Kosi kah a kilh dongah hnin takuem na rhih nainoe mai. Tedae phae hamla aka tawn uh tih kosi kah a kilh te ta melae?
14 The one who is bent down, Yahweh will hurry to release; he will not die and go down to the pit, nor will he lack bread.
A khuum hlang te koeloe a hlah vetih vaam khuiah khaw duek mahpawh, a buh khaw vaitah mahpawh.
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Kai Yahovah na Pathen loh tuitunli khaw a kueng tih a tuiphu loh hue a sak. A ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni.
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are my people.'”
Na ka dongah ka ol kang khueh tih ka kut kah hlipkhup neh nang kan dah. Vaan aka ling tih diklai aka suen loh Zion te, “Nang tah ka pilnam ni,” a ti ham ni.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk out of the hand of Yahweh from the bowl of his anger; you who have drunk out of the bowl, down to the dregs from the cup of staggering.
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh Jerusalem aw thoo laeh. BOEIPA kut lamkah kosi boengloeng na ok coeng. Ngaengainah boengloeng dongkah a tuisam te na ci tih na ok.
18 There is no one among all the sons she has born to guide her; there is no one among all the sons that she has raised to take her by the hand.
A ca sak boeih loh amah te khool pawt tih a ca cah boeih loh a kut ah moem voel pawh.
19 These two troubles happened to you—who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will comfort you?
Te rhoi loh nang n'doe coeng. Nang hamla unim aka rhaehba lah ve? rhoelrhanah neh pocinah, khokha neh cunghang lakli ah u nang nim kan hloep bal eh?
20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at every street corner, like an antelope in a net; they are filled with the anger of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
Na ca rhoek loh saa uh tih thaang dongkah cuung bangla imlang tom ah lu a doelh uh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah kosi neh na Pathen kah tluungnah ngawn tah rhoeh coeng.
21 But now hear this, you oppressed one and drunken one, but not drunk with wine:
Te dongah mangdaeng neh misurtui nen pawt khaw aka rhuihmil tarha loh ya laeh he.
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God, who pleads the cause of his people, says this, “See, I have taken the cup of staggering from your hand— the bowl, which is the cup of my anger—so that you will not drink it again.
Tangkhuet la a pilnam aka rhuun na Boeipa Yahovah neh na Pathen loh, “Na kut lamkah rhuihmil boengloeng te ka loh coeng he ne, kai kah kosi boengloeng dongkah tuisam te ok hamla koep koei voel boeh.
23 I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, those who have said to you, 'Lie down, that we may walk over you'; you made your back like the ground and like the street for them to walk on.”
'Na hinglu te duen lamtah kang kan uh mai eh,’ a ti uh tih nang aka pae sak rhoek, nang nam te diklai bangla na duen pah tih long bangla aka pongpa thil rhoek kah kut dongah ni ka paek pawn eh,” a ti.
