< Isaiah 54 >

1 “Sing, you barren woman, you who have not given birth; break into joyful singing and cry aloud, you who have never been in birth labor. For the children of the desolate one are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
Caya nu loh tamhoe laeh, aka cun noek pawt long khaw tamlung neh rhong saeh, aka vawn pawt khaw hlampan saeh. BOEIPA loh, “Rhukom kah a ca rhoek lakah aka pong kah a ca ping ngai coeng,” a ti.
2 “Make your tent larger and spread your tent curtains farther out, unsparingly; lengthen your ropes and strengthen your stakes.
Na dap hmuen te aek lamtah na dungtlungim kah himbaiyan khaw yueng dae. Na liva hlawt ham khaw tuemsoem boel lamtah na hlingcong te caang sak.
3 For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left, and your descendants will conquer nations and resettle desolate cities.
Banvoei bantang la na pungtai vetih na tiingan loh namtom te a pang. Te vaengah khopuei aka pong ah khaw kho a sak uh ni.
4 Do not fear for you will not be ashamed, nor be discouraged for you will not be disgraced; you will forget the shame of your youth and the disgrace of your abandonment.
Rhih boeh, yah na pok mahpawh. Hmaithae na lo pawt vetih na hmai tal mahpawh. Na cacawn vaengkah yahpohnah na hnilh bitni. Na nuhmai vaengkah kokhahnah khaw na poek voel mahpawh.
5 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of the whole earth.
Nang aka yuu nah tih nang aka saii kah a ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni. Nang aka tlan, Israel kah a cim tah diklai pum kah Pathen la a khue.
6 For Yahweh has called you back as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit, like a woman married young and rejected,” says your God.
A hnoo uh dongah mueihla ngaihlih nu bangla nang te BOEIPA loh ng'khue ni. Te dongah na camoe kah na Pathen loh, “Na yuu te khaw a hnawt,” a ti.
7 “For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
Mikhaptok ca nang kan hnoo dae haidamnah neh a tanglue la nang kan coi bitni.
8 In a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily; but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you— says Yahweh, the one who rescues you.
“Thinhul tuiphul vaengah tah ka maelhmai he nang taeng lamloh mikhaptok ah ka thuh coeng dae kumhal kah sitlohnah neh nang kan haidam,” tila nang aka tlan Yahovah loh a thui.
9 For this is like the waters of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
Kai ham tah tahae kah he Noah kah tui van pawn ni. Noah tui loh a khuk vaengah diklai ham ka toemngam te nang taengkah ka thintoek ah ni ka toemngam tih nang kan tluung.
10 Though the mountains may fall and the hills be shaken, yet my steadfast love will not turn away from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken— says Yahweh, who has mercy on you.
“Tlang rhoek te nong uh tih som rhoek ke tuen uh cakhaw kai kah sitlohnah he nang taeng lamloh nong mahpawh. Kai kah rhoepnah paipi tah tuen mahpawh,” tila nang aka haidam BOEIPA loh a thui.
11 Afflicted one, storm-driven and uncomforted one, look, I will set your pavement in turquoise, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Mangdaeng loh a thikthuek khaw damti pawh. Kai loh namah kah canglung lungto neh kan kol sak dongah minhum dongah nang kan hol bitni.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies and your gates of sparkling stones, and your outer wall of beautiful stones.
Na puthue te aithilung, na vongka te hmaihli lungto neh, na khorhi boeih te danngaih lungto neh kan saii ni.
13 Then all your children will be taught by Yahweh; and the peace of your children will be great.
Na ca rhoek te BOEIPA loh boeih a lolmang thil vetih na ca rhoek kah rhoepnah khaw ping ni.
14 In righteousness you will be established, and you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near to you.
Duengnah dongah n'cikngae sak vetih, hnaemtaeknah lamloh na lakhla pawn ni. Na rhih voel pawt vetih porhaknah khaw nang taengla ha pawk voel mahpawh.
15 Look, if anyone stirs up trouble, it will not be from me; anyone who stirs up trouble with you will fall in defeat.
A mae la aka mae te khaw kai lamkah moenih he. Nang aka mae te khaw namah taengah cungku bitni.
16 See, I have created the craftsman, who blows the burning coals and forges weapons as his work, and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
Hmaisa-aek hmai aka hmut kutthai khaw kamah long ni ka suen ne. A bisai te hnopai la a poeh sak akhaw laikoi sak ham kutcaihnah khaw kai loh ka suen pah coeng.
17 No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and you will condemn everyone who accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their vindication from me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Hnopai tom te nang taengah hlinsai cakhaw thaihtak mahpawh. Laitloeknah dongah ol cungkuem loh nang n'tlai thil cakhaw na boe mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong dongah tah tahae kah he BOEIPA sal rhoek kah rho neh kamah taeng lamkah duengnah la om.
