Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
Bel te koisu tih Nebo khun coeng. Amih kah muei te mulhing neh rhamsa dongah om. Na hnohoei pataeng buhmueh rhathih ham tah hnorhih la a tloeng.
2 They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
A khun neh rhenten a koisu uh dongah hnorhih poenghal uh thai pawh. Te dongah amih kah hinglu tah tamna la cet.
3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.
Jakob imkhui neh bungko lamloh ka yom tih ka bung dong lamkah ka poeh Israel imkhui kah a meet boeih loh kamah taengkah he ya uh saeh.
4 Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
Patong duela kai tah amah thim la ka om tih, sampok duela ka laetaep ni. Kamah loh ka saii dongah kamah long ni ka phueih eh. Ka laetaep vetih ka poenghal sak ni.
5 “To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
U taengah nim kai nan lutlat sak uh vetih nan tluk sak uh eh, kai aka puet ham kamah bangla na om venim?
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down— yes, they worship.
Sungsa dong lamloh sui aka buk tih capu kong neh tangka aka thuek. Aka cilpoe te a paang uh tih pathen a saii pah te a buluk thil uh tih a bawk uh.
7 They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
A laengpang dongah a koh uh tih a laetaep uh. Tedae amah hmuen la a tloeng akhaw a pai hmuen lamloh nong pawh. Anih te a doek akhaw a citcai lamloh doo pawt tih amah te khang bal pawh.
8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
He poek uh lamtah sap uh lah. Boekoek rhoek loh na lungbuei te mael takuh.
9 Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.
Khosuen kah te lamhma la poek uh. Pathen kamah phoeiah Pathen tloe om pawt tih kai bang khaw om pawh.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
A tongcuek lamkah hmailong due khaw, hlamat lamkah a saii uh noek pawt te aka puen loh, “Kai kah cilsuep tah thoo vetih ka huengaih boeih te ka saii ni,” a ti.
11 I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
Khocuk lamkah vatlung neh khohla bangsang khohmuen lamkah a cilsuep hlang te ka cilsuep la ka khue. Ka thui tangtae te ni ka thoeng sak bal vetih, ka taeng tangtae te ka saii bal eh.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
Kamah taengah hnatun uh lah, lungbuei aka lueng rhoek he duengnah lamkah neh daengrhae daengkhoi.
13 I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.
Ka duengnah kang khuen he hlavak pawt tih kamah lamkah loeihnah he uelh mahpawh. Te dongah loeihnah he Zion taengah, ka boeimang te Israel taengah ka paek ni.
