Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Lungpahawi awh, ka taminaw hah lungpahawi awh haw, telah nangmae Cathut ni a ti.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received from the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
Tarantuk thaw na tawknae tueng akuep toe. Nange yon hai ngaithoum toe telah Jerusalem kho koe lawkkanem lahoi dei awh nateh, oung pouh awh haw.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Ramke dawk Oung pouh e teh, BAWIPA e lamthung teh rasoun awh. Thingyeiyawn dawk maimae Cathut e lamkalen teh sak awh.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.
Ravo kaawm e pueng paten awh nateh, monnaw hah tanghling sak awh. Ukuk kacoum e lamthungnaw hah kânging sak nateh, duradiduradup e naw hah kâpi sak awh.
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see [it]: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnuek vaiteh, tami pueng ni a hmu awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodliness [is] as the flower of the field:
Hote lawk ni hramkhai haw ati navah, kai ni bangmouh ka hramkhai han ka ti pouh navah, tami pueng teh phokung lah doeh ao. Ahnimae hawinae pueng hai kahrawng e a pei patetlah doeh ao.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
BAWIPA e a kâha ni a kanawi toteh, phokungnaw teh a kamyai awh teh, a peinaw hai a sarut awh. Atangcalah, taminaw teh phokung lah doeh ao awh.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall shall stand forever.
Phokung teh a kamyai teh, a pei hai a sarut. Maimae Cathut lawk teh a yungyoe a kangning a ti.
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, go up upon the high mountain: O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Zion mon dawk kamthang kahawi kasinkung, ka rasang e mon dawk luen haw. Jerusalem vah kamthang kahawi kasinkung, puenghoi hramkhai haw. Taket hanh. Na Cathut hah khenhaw! telah Judah khonaw koe dei pouh haw.
10 Behold, the LORD GOD will come with strong [hand], and his arm will rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
Khenhaw! Bawipa Jehovah teh thaonae kut hoi tho vaiteh, amae kutbuembue ni ama hanelah a uk han. Ama e tawkphu teh ama ni a thokhai han. Ama e kutphu hai a hmalah ao.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] will gently lead those that are with young.
A tuhunaw hah tukhoumkung patetlah kawk vaiteh, tucanaw hah a kut hoi tawm vaiteh, a tawm han. A ca kanaw kaawm e tunaw hai paiyai hoi a hrawi han.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Tuinaw hah amae kuttabei hoi ka bangnue e, kalvan hah a kut hoi ka pakhap thai e, talai van e vaiphunaw hah yawcu khingnae dawk ka hrueng thai e, monnaw hah yawcu hoi ka khing niteh, monruinaw hah khinglung hoi ka khing thai e teh api nama.
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counselor hath taught him?
BAWIPA e Muitha hah apinimaw a bangnue thai han. Apimaw ama hoi kâpan niteh, ama hah ka panuek sak.
14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?
Bawipa ni api hoi maw a kâpan teh, ahni ni Bawipa hah a thai panue sak thai vaw. Apinimaw Bawipa hah a cangkhai teh, lamthung hah a patue teh, a thai panuek nahanelah ka dei pouh vaw.
15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Miphunnaw teh sikrei dawk hoi padekca e patetlah ao teh, yawcu dawk e vaiphuca patetlah doeh ao. Khenhaw! Tuilumnaw teh, mungpoung e patetlah doeh ao.
16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts of it sufficient for a burnt-offering.
Lebanon mon teh hmai patawi nahanelah khout hoeh. Hote mon dawk kaawm e moithangnaw hai hmaisawi thueng nahanelah khout hoeh.
17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Khoram pueng hai Bawipa e hmalah teh, banghai bang hoeh e patetlah ao teh, banghai bang hoeh e hlak hai a thoungca e patetlah ao awh teh, ahrawnghrang patet lahai ao awh.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare to him?
Hatdawkvah, Cathut hah api hoi maw bangnue han. Bawipa hah bang hoi maw bangnue han.
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
Meikaphawknaw teh, kasakkung ni sui puk a hluk teh, ngundingyin hai ouk a sak pou awh.
20 He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh for himself a skillful workman to prepare a graven image [that] shall not be moved.
Pasoumhno poe thai hoeh hane totouh, ka roedeng e tami niteh, kahmawn thai hoeh e thing hah a kârawi teh, kâroe thai hoeh e meikaphawk sak hanelah, kasakthaie naw hah ouk a tawng awh.
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Na panuek awh hoeh maw. Apuengcue hoi nangmouh koe dei awh hoeh maw. Talai pek a pâw hoiyah na thaipanuek awh hoeh maw.
22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Talai kamhluem e van vah ka tahung niteh, talai van kaawm e taminaw teh awsi patetlah ao awh.
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Ukkung bawinaw hah banghai bang hoeh lah a coung sak teh, talai lawkcengkungnaw hah ahrawnghrang lah a coung sak.
24 Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Atangcalah ahnimouh hah patue hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae cati hai kahei hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae khawngyang teh talai dawk kâung hoeh. Ahnimouh hah phohmu toteh ahnimouh teh, bongparui ni cahik patetlah a palek awh han.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equaled? saith the Holy One.
Hottelah pawiteh, Kai teh api hoi maw a kâvan na ti awh han vaw telah kathounge Bawipa ni a ti.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names, by the greatness of his might, for that [he] is strong in power; not one faileth.
Nangmae na mit naw hoi kahlun lah khenhaw. Hete hnonaw hah apinimaw a sak. Hote Bawipa ni teh hotnaw pueng hah koung a parei thai. A min lahoi koung a kaw thai. A thasai teh, bahu hoi a kawi dawkvah, buet touh boehai kahmat mahoeh.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
Ka ceinae lamthung teh BAWIPA ni a hro. Ka coe hane kawi hai Cathut ni banglahai ngâi hoeh telah Oe Jakop miphun ni bangkongmaw na dei awh. Oe Isarel miphun bangkongmaw na dei awh.
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
Na panuek hoeh maw. Na thai boihoeh maw. Jehovah teh a yungyoe kangning e Cathut, talai pout ditouh kasakkung Cathut lah ao. A tâwn tie awm hoeh. A patang tie awm hoeh. Bawipa e panuenae hoi thaipanueknae teh apinihai tawng thai hoeh.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
Bawipa ni ka tâwn e naw hah tha a poe teh, tithainae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah tithainae a poe.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Nawsainaw teh a tâwn awh vaiteh, a tha a baw awh han. Camonaw hai kamthui awh vaiteh, a tâlaw awh han.
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw teh, thaonae a katha hoi a kawi awh han. Matawnaw patetlah amamae rathei hoi kahlun lah a kamleng awh han. A yawng awh toteh patang awh mahoeh. A ceio awh to hai tâwn awh mahoeh.
