Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Atuteh, ka san Jakop, ka rawi e Isarel thai haw.
2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, [who] will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
Nangmouh na kasakkung, von thung hoi na kasakkung, nangmouh kabawmkung lah kaawm e Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Oe Jakop, ka san, kai ni na rawi e Jeshurun, taket hanh.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy offspring:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui kahrannaw koe tui ka awi han. Talai kaphui dawk palangpui ka lawng sak han. Na catounnaw koe muitha ka awi vaiteh, na canaw koe yawhawinae ka poe han.
4 And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Hot patetlah, ahnimouh teh tui teng ka pâw e sumpathing patetlah a dawn han.
5 One shall say, I [am] the LORD'S; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe [with] his hand to the LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
Tami buet touh ni BAWIPA e tami doeh telah alouke ni Jakop min a kâphung han. Alouke ni Jakop e tami telah a kut dawk thun awh vaiteh, Isarel min teh amamae miphun min lah a hno awh han.
6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and besides me [there is] no God.
Isarelnaw e siangpahrang Jehovah ni karatangkung ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kai teh ahmaloe e lah ka o teh a hnukteng e lah ka o. Kai laipalah teh Cathut alouke roeroe awm hoeh.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show to them.
Ayan e taminaw kai ni ka kangdue sak hnin hoi kai ni ka sak e patetlah apimaw ouk ka pâpho. Hot patetlah, pâpho sak haw. Kai hanlah kaawm lahun e hno kaawm han rae hno heh kai koe kamphawng sak naseh.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? verily [there is] no God; I know not [any].
Taket awh hanh, puen hai puen awh hanh. Hmaloe vah nangmouh koe ka dei teh na panue sak awh toe. Kai hloilah Cathut ao maw. Oe, lungsong alouke roeroe awm hoeh. Buet touh boehai ao tie ka panuek hoeh.
9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Meikaphawk kasaknaw teh, abuemlah hoi hno han kamcu hoeh e naw doeh. A sungren sak awh eiteh, banglahai tho hoeh. Kaimouh teh ka hmawt thai awh hoeh, ka panuek thai awh hoeh tie kayanae hah amamouh ni a pâpho awh.
10 Who hath formed a god, or cast a graven image [that] is profitable for nothing?
Apinimaw cathut a sak. Apinimaw banglah ka tho hoeh e meikaphawk hah a sak.
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they [are] of men: let them all be assembled, let them stand up; [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.
Khenhaw! a huiko pueng ni a kaya awh han. Thaw katawkkungnaw hai tami kahring doeh. Abuemlah hoi kamkhueng nateh kangdout awh naseh. Taket awh vaiteh yeirai a po awh han.
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yes, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Sum ka dêi ni cakâ ouk a dêi. Hmaisaan dawk a phum teh a kut tha kâsanguekhai teh, cakkin hoi a dêi. A vonhlam toteh a tha ouk a tawn. Tui a nei hoeh toteh tui a kahran.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Lettama ni rui a payang teh cacung hoi a ruen. Lettama hnopai hoi a sak hnukkhu imvan ao thai nahanlah kompa hoi a thut teh, tami mei hoi a kâvan nahanelah tami hoi mei kâvan lah a sak.
14 He heweth down cedars for himself, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].
Sidar thing a tâtueng awh teh, hmaica thing hoi saipres thing a la awh teh, ratu dawk e thing buet touh teh a ham lah o nahanlah a cak sak. Sidar thing a ung awh teh khotui ni a roung sak.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take of it, and warm himself; indeed he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yes, he maketh a god, and worshipeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down to it.
Hathnukkhu hoi teh, tami hane thing lah doeh a tho toe. Thing lah a bet awh teh, hmai a kamben awh. Hmai a bet awh teh vaiyei hai a pâeng awh, cathut lah a sak awh teh a bawk awh. Hote thing hah meikaphawk lah a sak awh teh, hot hah tabo laihoi a bawk awh.
16 He burneth part of it in the fire; with part of it he eateth flesh; he roasteth meat, and is satisfied: yes, he warmeth [himself], and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Hote thing hah a tangawn hmai a bet awh, a tangawn moi thawng nahanlah a hno awh, moi a pâeng awh teh kaboumlah a ca awh. Hmai a kamben awh teh huthutbet toe ati awh teh, hmai hai ka hmu toe ati awh.
17 And the residue of it he maketh a god, [even] his graven image: he falleth down to it, and worshipeth [it], and prayeth to it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou [art] my god.
Ka cawi e hai a la awh teh, cathutkaphawk lah a sak awh. Hote meikaphawk hmalah a tabo awh teh a bawk awh. Ahni koe a ratoum awh, na rungngang haw, bangdawkmaw kaie cathut nahoehmaw, atipouh awh.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Panuek awh hoeh ni teh thaipanuek awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmu thai hoeh nahan a mit a tabuem pouh teh, a thai thai hoeh nahan a lungthin khik a khan pouh.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there] knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; I have also baked bread upon its coals; I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue of it an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Hahoi apinihai pouk thai awh hoeh, panuek thai awh hoeh. Atangawn teh hmai a bet awh teh, hmaisaan dawk vaiyei hai a pâeng awh, moi hai a pâeng awh teh a ca awh. Ka cawi rae naw teh panuettho e lah maw ao han toung. Thingtalong hah tabo laihoi bawk han na maw tie ka panuek e hoi ka thaipanuek e khoeroe awm hoeh bo toung aw.
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my right hand?
Hraba hoi kâkawk teh dumyennae lungthin hoi lam a payon awh toe. Hatdawkvah a hringnae hah rungngang thai hoeh. Aranglae kut dawk hai laithoe ao tie panuek thai awh hoeh.
21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou [art] my servant: I have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by me.
Oe Jakop, hote hnonaw teh pahnim hanh. Isarel hai pahnim hanh. Nangmouh teh kaie ka san doeh. Kai ni na sak e ka san doeh. Oe Isarel, nang teh ka pahnim e lah na awm mahoeh.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud, thy sins: return to me; for I have redeemed thee.
Kâtapoenae hateh, kathapoung e tâmai kâhin e patetlah ka kâhin sak han. Kai koe bout ban awh leih, kai ni yo na ratang awh toe.
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
Oe kalvannaw lunghawi hoi la sak awh. BAWIPA ni a sak toe. Nangmouh talai taminaw hram awh haw. Monnaw, ratunaw hoi thingkungnaw hram nateh la sak awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Jakop teh a ratang toe. Isarelnaw lah a lentoenae a kamnue toe.
24 Thus saith the LORD thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, [I am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself:
Nang karatangkung BAWIPA, vonthung na ka sak e ni hettelah a dei, Kai heh Jehovah hnonaw pueng kasakkung, kalvannaw haiyah madueng lahoi ka sak niteh, kama dueng lahoi talai kapakawkung doeh.
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
Kai ni a lai kathoutnaw e mitnoutnaw hai ka raphoe pouh. Khueyuenaw hai ka pathu sak, a lungkaangnaw kamlang sak teh, a panuenae pathu lah kacoungsakkung.
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up her decayed places:
Kai ni ka sannaw e lawk hah ka caksak teh, ka patounenaw ni a dei e patetlah ouk ka sak. Jerusalem kho hanelah nang teh tami onae lah na o han telah thoseh, Judah kho hah sak lah na o han, ka rawk e naw hah pathoup lah ao han telah thoseh ka dei.
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
Talîpui hai tui hak seh, nange palangnaw pueng ka hak sak han telah thoseh,
28 That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and [he] shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Sairas siangpahrang hanelah nang teh kaie tukhoumkung doeh, kai ni ka ngai e pueng na kuep sak vaiteh, Jerusalem kho pathoup seh, Bawkim adu ung seh telah thoseh ka dei.
