Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
Oe, Nang ni kalvan paawng nateh kum haw. Na hmalah monnaw kâhuen naseh.
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
Hmai ni songnawng a kak e patetlah thoseh, tui a tangdo sak e patetlah thoseh, awm naseh. Hottelah pawiteh, na tarannaw ni na min panuek awh vaiteh, na hmalah vah miphun pueng ni a pâyaw awh han.
3 When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
Kaimouh ni ka ngaihawi awh hoeh e hlak, kângairu hno a sak toteh, na tho teh, monnaw teh na hmalah a kâhuet awh.
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
Ama kangaihawinaw hmalah hawinae ka sak e Cathut, nang hloilah alouke Cathut hah talai pek kamtawng hoi apinihai panuek boihoeh, hnâ hoi hai thai boi hoeh, mit hoi hmawt boihoeh.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
Onawmnae lahoi kalan lah ka tawk e, na lamthung dawk nang ka pahnim hoeh e, hah nang ni na kâhmo, bokheiyah, na lungkhuek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka payon awh toe. Hete lamthung heh pou ka dawn awh toe. Rungngang lah kaawm awh han rah nama aw.
6 For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kathounghoehe patetlah koung o awh toe. Lannae pueng teh, kakhin e hna hoi a kâvan. Maimouh pueng teh thinghna patetlah kamyai awh teh, mamae yonnae ni kahlî patetlah na palek awh.
7 There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Na min ka kaw e, nang dawk kâuep hanelah mahoima kâhroecoe e tami buet touh boehai awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a minhmai a hro teh, maimouh hah mamae yon dawk na raphoe awh toe.
8 But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
Hatei, Jehovah, nang teh kaimae na pa lah na o. Kaimouh teh amhrulai lah ka o awh. Nang teh kaimae hlaamkabokung lah na o. Kaimouh pueng teh, na kut hoi na sak e hno lah ao.
9 Don’t be furious, Yahweh. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
Oe BAWIPA, puenghoi na lungkhuek sak hanh. Kangeknae yon hah pou pâkuem hanh. Khenhaw! Kaimouh pueng teh BAWIPA e tami doeh.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Kho kathoung teh kahrawng lah ao toe. Zion mon hai kahrawng lah ao toe. Jerusalem kho hai a rawk toe.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
Mintoenaw ni nang na pholennae hmuen, kaimae kathoung ni teh a mei kahawi e im teh, hmai a kak toe. Kaimouh ni ka ngai poung awh e hmuennaw teh koung a rawk toe.
12 Will you hold yourself back for these things, Yahweh? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
Oe BAWIPA, hetnaw heh na panguep han na ou. Duem na o takhai vaiteh, maimanaw hah puenghoi na ru sak han maw.
