Isaiah 42
1 Ka sal he ne. Anih he ka moem tih kamah loh ka coelh. Ka hinglu loh a moeithen tih anih soah ka Mueihla ka khueh dongah namtom ham tiktamnah a khuen pah ni.
Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
2 Anih tah pang pawt vetih huel uh bal mahpawh. A ol te tollong ah ya uh mahpawh.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 Capu aka paep te khaem pawt vetih thut aka nap khaw thih mahpawh. Oltak neh tiktamnah te a thoeng sak.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.
4 Diklai ah tiktamnah a khueh duela muei pawt vetih paep mahpawh. A olkhueng te khaw kholong tuiva loh a ngaiuep uh ni.
He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching.
5 Vaan aka suen tih aka dih, diklai aka nulh tih a cadil cahma, a pilnam taengah hiil aka pae, a sokah aka pongpa rhoek taengah mueihla aka pae Pathen Yahovah loh,
Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 “Kai Yahovah loh nang te duengnah khuila kang khue coeng. Na kut te kan moem vetih nang kang kueinah ni. Nang te pilnam kah patai la, namtom kah khosae la kang khueh ni.
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand, and kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
7 Mikdael te mik tueng sak ham, hlongkhoh te rhomhmop lamloh, hmaisuep kah khosa rhoek te thong im lamloh doek ham ni.
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8 Kai Yahovah loh ka ming neh ka thangpomnah he a tloe taengla, ka koehnah te mueidaep rhoek taengla ka pae mahpawh.
I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
9 Lamhma te ha thoeng coeng tih a thai la ka puen coeng he. A poe hlan ah nangmih kan yaak sak,” a ti.
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Diklai khobawt lamloh tuitunli la aka suntla rhoek, sanglak boeih neh te kah khosa rhoek loh amah koehnah laa thai te BOEIPA taengah hlai uh lah.
Sing unto 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 therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Khosoek neh khopuei, vangca loh huel uh saeh. Kedar khosa rhoek te tamhoe uh saeh lamtah Sela khosa rhoek te tlang som lamloh he uh saeh.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Thangpomnah te BOEIPA taengah tloeng uh saeh, amah koehnah te sanglak ah thui uh saeh.
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands.
13 BOEIPA tah hlangrhalh la thoeng tih caemtloek hlang la haenghang coeng. A thatlainah neh yuhui vetih a kawk vaengah a thunkha rhoek te a poe ni.
The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, He will stir up jealousy like a man of war; He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty against His enemies.
14 Kumhal ham ka ngam coeng tih hil ka phah. Cacun bangla ka thiim uh tih, ka ha-awt la ka kii vaengah luei ka hlak.
I have long time held My peace, I have been still, and refrained Myself; now will I cry like a travailing woman, gasping and panting at once.
15 Tlang som rhoek te ka khah vetih a baelhing khaw boeih ka rhae ni. Tuiva te sanglak la ka khueh vetih tuibap khaw ka haang sak ni.
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Mikdael rhoek te a ming noek pawh longpuei ah ka pongpa puei ni. A ming uh pawh a hawn ah amih te a hoihaeng ni. Khohmuep khaw amih mikhmuh ah khosae la, caehthae khaw tlangkol la ka khueh ni. Hekah olka he ka rhoih vetih amih te ka hnoo mahpawh.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
17 Mueithuk dongah aka pangtung tih na mueihloe te, “Mamih kah pathen ni,” aka ti rhoek khaw a hnuk la balkhong uh vetih yahpohnah neh yah a bai uh ni.
They shall be turned back, greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images: 'Ye are our gods.'
18 Hnapang rhoek loh ya uh. Mikdael rhoek loh paelki saeh lamtah hmu uh van saeh.
Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Ka sal phoeiah atah mikdael te unim? Hnapang khaw ka puencawn la ka tueih te unim? Paya bangla aka thuung mikdael neh BOEIPA kah sal bangla mikdael khaw unim?
Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger that I send? Who is blind as he that is wholehearted, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20 Na hmuh khaw muep na hmuh uh dae na ngaithuen uh moenih, hna a khui akhaw a yaak moenih.
Seeing many things, thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
21 BOEIPA loh amah kah duengnah dongah hmae tih olkhueng a pomsang nen ni amah a thangpom uh.
The LORD was pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.
22 Pilnam he a poelyoe tih a rheth coeng. Amih boeih te a khui ah khoep a tlaeng tih thong im ah a thuh uh. Te vaengah maeh la poeh tih hlang loh a muk te huul uh pawh. Te vaengah mael laeh aka ti khaw om pawh.
But this is a people robbed and spoiled, 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.'
23 Nangmih ah unim he hna a kaeng vetih, a hnatung vetih a hnuk ah aka hnatang eh?
Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Jakob te muk la muk ham, Israel te poelyoe ham aka pae te unim? A longpuei ah pongpa ham ng'huem uh pawt tih a olkhueng te n'hnatun uh pawt dongah, BOEIPA amah taengah n'tholh uh moenih a?
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto His law.
25 Te dongah anih te a kosi thintoek neh a hawk thil tih caem kah tlungalnah neh a kaepvai ah a hlawp coeng. Tedae ming pawt tih a taeng a dom pah te khaw a lungbuei ah dueh pawh.
Therefore He poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
