Isaiah 66
1 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vaan khaw kai kah ngolkhoel ni. Diklai khaw ka kho kah khotloeng ni. Kai ham im na sak uh te melae? Ka duemnah hmuen te menim?
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
2 Te rhoek boeih te ka kut loh a saii. Te rhoek boeih te BOEIPA kah olphong ah om coeng. Mangdaeng neh mueihla aka paep, kai ol dongah aka thuen, te ni ka paelki.
For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3 Vaito aka ngawn loh hlang ni a ngawn. Tu aka ngawn loh ui ni a ah. Ok thii te khocang la aka khuen, hmueihtui aka thoelh tih boethae aka uem, amih long khaw amamih kah longpuei te a coelh uh. Amamih kah sarhingkoi dongah a hinglu khaw naep lah.
He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 Kai long khaw amih kah camoe hnatuem te ka coelh vetih amamih kah rhihnahkoi te amamih soah ka thoeng sak ni. Ka khue vaengah aka doo om pawh. Ka thui dae hnatun uh pawh. Ka mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih ka ngaih mueh te a tuek uh.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.
5 A ol dongah aka thuen rhoek te BOEIPA ol hnatun uh. Nangmih aka hmuhuet tih nang aka rhoe na manuca rhoek loh, “Kai ming neh BOEIPA thangpom saeh lamtah nangmih kah kohoenah te ka hmu eh,” a ti uh dae amih te yak uh ni.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 Khopuei lamkah longlonah ol neh bawkim lamkah ol, a thunkha te a tiing la aka thung BOEIPA ol.
A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
7 A vawn hlan ah aka cun, a soah tharhui a tloh hlan ah ca tongpa aka oi.
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Te bang aka ya te unim? Te bang aka hmu te unim? Khohnin pakhat dongah diklai he vawn tih namtom he voei khat la a cun a? A vawn phoeiah ni Zion loh a ca te a cun.
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Kai ka khaem tih a ka cun pawt eh? BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Kai loh ka cun sak tih ka khaih. Te te na Pathen long ni a thui.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
10 Jerusalem taengah kohoe sak lamtah amah aka lungnah boeih loh anih ham omngaih uh. Anih ham aka nguekcoi boeih loh a taengah omthennah neh ngaingaih uh.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 Te daengah ni nangmih te ng'khut vetih a hloephloeinah rhangsuk te na cung uh eh. Na oktoem uh vetih a thangpomnah neh a baepet la na pang na dok uh bitni.
That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih te kai kah rhoepnah tuiva bangla ka dangka sak tih namtom kah a thangpomnah soklong bangla ka long sak. A haep ah n'khut uh tih m'poeh uh phoeiah khuklu soah n'hnang sak ni.
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.
13 Hlang bangla anih aka hloep a manu te unim? Kamah loh nang kan hloep tangloeng vetih Jerusalem soah dam na ti bitni.
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Na hmuh vaengah na lungbuei ngaingaih vetih na rhuh khaw baelhing bangla poe ni. A sal rhoek te BOEIPA kut loh a ming vetih a thunkha rhoek te kosi a sah thil ni.
And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.
15 BOEIPA tah hmai neh a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ha pawk coeng ke. Amah kah kosi thintoek neh, amah kah tluungnah hmaihluei hmai neh thuung ham pawn ni.
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Pumsa boeih te BOEIPA loh hmai neh cunghang neh lai a tloek ni. BOEIPA taengah a rhok la muep pung ni.
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 Aka ciim uh tih aka caihcil loh, a khui kah khat khat hnukah, dum kah ok saa konawhnah neh su aka ca rhoek te rhenten a thup uh ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18 Kai loh amih kah khoboe neh amih kopoek te ka ming ta. Namtom boeih neh ol boeih te coi ham ha pawk. Amih ha pawk uh vaengah ka thangpomnah te a hmuh uh ni.
For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 Amih taengah miknoek ka khueh vetih amih lamkah hlangyong rhoek te namtom taeng neh Tarshish Pul taengah, lii aka oei Lud, Tubal neh kai olthang aka ya pawt tih kai thangpomnah aka hmu pawh khohla sanglak Javan taengla ka tueih ni. Te vaengah namtom rhoek taengah ka thangpomnah te a doek uh ni.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 Na manuca rhoek boeih te namtom boeih taeng lamloh BOEIPA ham khocang la marhang dongah, leng neh, pa neh, muli-marhang dongah, thoh-lang dongah, ka tlang cim Jerusalem la ha pawk uh ni. BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA im cim kah hnopai dongah khocang la hang khuen uh ni.
And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 Amih lamkah te khosoih la, Levi la ka loh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng.
And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.
22 Te bangla vaan thai neh diklai thai te ka saii tih ka mikhmuh ah aka pai sak khaw kai ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na tiingan neh na ming thoo ni.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 Hlasae lamloh hlasae, Sabbath lamloh Sabbath a pha vaengah pumsa boeih ka mikhmuh ah bakop hamla ha pawk ni. BOEIPA loh a thui.
And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 Kai taengkah boekoek hlang rhoek kah rhok te a thoeng thil uh vetih a hmuh uh ni. Amih kah a rhiit te duek pawt vetih a hmai khaw thi mahpawh. Pumsa boeih taengah koletnah la om uh ni.
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
