Isaiah 42
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Khenhaw! kai ni ka tawm e ka san, ka lungkuepkhai teh, ka rawi e san doeh. Ka Muitha hah ahni van ka patue han. Ahni ni lannae hah miphunnaw koe a thokhai han.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Ahni teh, hramki mahoeh. Oung mahoeh. Ahnie lawk hai lamthung dawk apinihai thai mahoeh.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
Coungroe e lungpum hah khoe hoeh, hmai ka tawk e hmaiim hah padout hoeh. Lannae hah yuemkamcunae hoi a thokhai han.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Talaivan vah lannae phung a kangdue sak hoehroukrak, a thayoun mahoeh, a lungpout mahoeh. Ahlanae koe kaawmnaw ni hai ahnie kâlawk hah a ngaihawi awh han.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and expanded them; he that spread forth the earth, and that which it produceth; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.
Kalvan ka sak niteh, talai hoi talai thung kaawm e pueng ka sak e, talai van kaawm e naw hah kâha hai thoseh, talai van lam kacetnaw hah muitha hai thoseh, ka poe e, Cathut Jehovah ni a dei e teh,
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
kai teh Jehovah doeh. Kai ni nang hah lannae lahoi na kaw vaiteh, na kut dawk hoi na hrawi han.
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
Nang ni mit ka dawnnaw e mit na hmu sak thai nahane hoi, paung lah kaawm e naw hah thongim thung hoi thoseh, hmonae koe ka tahung e naw hah hmonae thongim thung hoi thoseh, rasa tâcokhai hanelah, taminaw hoi lawkkam e lah thoseh, miphunnaw hanelah angnae lah thoseh, nang hah kai ni na ta toe.
8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Kai teh Jehovah doeh. Hothateh, kaie ka min doeh. Kai bawilennae hah apihai thoseh, kai ni ka coe e pholennae hah meikaphawknaw hai thoseh, ka poe hoeh.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Yampa e hnonaw teh a loum toe. A katha e hnonaw hah atu ka pâpho. Hotnaw a tâco hoehnahlan vah, nangmouh sut na thai sak.
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
Tui dawk ka cet kaawm e naw hoi ahlanae koe ramlouk lah kaawm e naw, BAWIPA koe la katha sak awh. Ahni hah talai apoutnae koehoi pholen awh.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Kahrawngum hoi hot thung e kho kaawm e pueng, hoi Kedar kho kaawm e taminaw pueng ni pholen awh naseh. Sela kaawm e naw pueng ni monsom vah hram laihoi lunghawi laihoi la sak awh naseh.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles.
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnue sak laihoi, tuilum apoutnae koe a lungmanae teh pholen awh.
13 The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yes, roar; he will prevail against his enemies.
BAWIPA teh athakaawme tami patetlah a tâco teh, ransa patetlah a taran ahawi. Tânae hoi a hram teh, a tarannaw hah a tâ.
14 I have long time held my peace; I have been still, [and] restrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
Kai teh atueng kasawlah duem ka o. Kai teh duem ka o teh, ka taminaw hah ka pato hoeh. Atuteh, camo ka khe e napui patetlah kahram han. Hongho hongho kâha vaiteh, ngawt ka tawn han.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers [to be] islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Monnaw hoi monruinaw ka raphoe han. Thingkung ramkungnaw puenghai ka ke sak han. Tuipuinaw hai tuilumnaw lah kacoungsak vaiteh, talînaw pueng hai kahaksak han.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do for them, and not forsake them.
Mit kadawnnaw hah a panue awh hoeh e lam dawk hoi ka thak vaiteh, a panue awh hoeh e lamthung dawk lam ka patue han. Ahnimae hmalah hmonae hah angnae lah kacoungsak han. Lamthung tangkomnaw hah, ka kânging sak han. Hetnaw hah ka sak vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah ka hnoun mahoeh.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods.
Meikaphawk ka bawk awh niteh, meikaphawk hanelah, nang teh kaimae cathutnaw doeh katetenaw teh puenghoi kayak awh vaiteh, hnuklah a kamlang awh han.
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Hnâpangnaw thai awh haw. Mitdawnnaw, na hmu thai nahanelah khenhaw.
19 Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
Kaie ka san hloilah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. Ka patoun e laiceinaw patetlah apimouh a hnâ ka pang va. Kaie ka hui patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va. BAWIPA e san patetlah apimouh a mit ka dawn va.
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
Ahni ni moikapap a hmu eiteh, kâhruetcuet thai hoeh. A hnâkâko eiteh thai thai hoeh.
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honorable.
BAWIPA teh amae kâlawk rasangsak hane hoi a lentoesak hanelah, amae lannae dawk a lungyouk.
22 But this [is] a people robbed and pillaged; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Hete miphun teh, tuk e hoi lawp e miphun lah doeh ao. Ahnimouh teh, tangkom dawk tangkam a kâman awh teh, thongim dawk hro e lah ao awh. Kahloutsakkung kaawm hoeh e lawp e lah ao awh. Tuk teh lawp lah ao awh navah, na poe leih telah ka tet hane awm hoeh.
23 Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken, and hear for the time to come?
Nangmouh thung dawk apinang mouh hete lawk hah na ka thai awh han va. Atu hoi hmalah te, apinang mouh na ka thai awh han.
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law.
Jakop teh tuk e hoi lawp e lah thoseh, Isarel hah kalawmkungnaw koe thoseh, apimouh ka hnawng va. Maimouh ni taran awh teh, ahni koe yonnae sak awh e BAWIPA ni nahoehmaw. Ahnimouh teh Bawipa e lamthung dawn awh hoeh. Bawipa e kâlawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.
Hatdawkvah, puenghoi a lungkhueknae teh, ahnimouh lathueng a rabawk teh, takikatho e tarankâtuknae hah ahnimouh koe a pha sak. Ahnimouh tengpam vah hmai a sawi. Hateiteh, panuek awh hoeh. Amamouh hoi amamouh a kak awh. Hatei, pâkuem awh hoeh.
