Isaiah 52
1 Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh Zion nang loh sarhi tak sak. Khopuei cim Jerusalem nang boeimang himbai bai laeh. Na khuiah aka pawk ham pumdul neh rhalawt loh n'koei voel mahpawh.
Awake, awake, put on thy majesty, O Zion! Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For no more shall come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Laipi te khoek laeh. Jerusalem aw thoo lamtah ngol laeh. Zion nu tamna aw na rhawn kah kuelrhui te hlam rhoe hlam laeh.
Shake thyself from the dust, Arise and sit erect, O Jerusalem! Loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “A yoeyap la n'yoih uh tih tangka mueh lam ni n'tlan uh eh,” a ti.
For thus saith Jehovah: For naught were ye sold, And without money shall ye be ransomed.
4 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lamhma ah tah ka pilnam loh Egypt ah bakuep pahoi ham suntla tih Assyria loh lungli lungla la anih te a hnaemtaek.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down to Egypt formerly to sojourn there, And the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Tahae ah ba aih nim kai tloe tah, menim kai ham tah BOEIPA kah olphong lah ve? Ka pilnam te poeyoek la a khuen coeng. Anih aka taem la aka taem rhoek tah rhung uh coeng. BOEIPA kah olphong dae ta, nainoe taitu la hnin takuem ah kai ming a tlaitlaek.
And now, what have I here to do, saith the Lord, When my people is taken away for naught, And their tyrants exult, saith Jehovah, And all the day long my name is blasphemed.
6 Ka ming he ka pilnam loh ming tangloeng saeh. Tekah khohnin ah kamah loh, “Kai ni he,” ka ti tangloeng coeng.
Therefore shall my people know my name; Therefore in that day shall they know That I am he that said, Behold, here am I!
7 Rhoepnah aka phong tih aka yaak sak, a then aka phong tih khangnah aka yaak sak, Zion taengah, “Na Pathen tah manghai coeng,” aka ti nah kah a khokan tah tlang soah khaw damyal tangkik mai.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, of him that proclaimeth peace! That bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth salvation! That saith to Zion, “Thy God is king!”
8 Na rhaltawt rhoek kah ol tah ol pakhat la huek a huel uh tih tamhoe uh. BOEIPA te Zion la a mael vaengah tah a mik, mik ah so uh thae ni.
Hark! the voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice together; yea, they shout! For eye to eye shall they behold, When Jehovah returneth to Zion.
9 Jerusalem imrhong rhoek tun pang uh lamtah tamhoe uh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam a hloep tih Jerusalem a tlan coeng.
Break forth into joy; shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem! For Jehovah hath pity on his people; he redeemeth Jerusalem.
10 Namtom boeih kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh a ban cim te a lam vetih diklai khobawt ah mamih Pathen kah khangnah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
Jehovah maketh bare his holy arm In the sight of all the nations; All the ends of the earth Behold the salvation from our God.
11 Nong uh laeh, nong uh lamtah te lamloh coe uh laeh. Rhalawt te ben boeh, a khui lamloh nong laeh. BOEIPA kah hnopai aka phuei long tah meet uh.
Depart, depart ye; go ye out from thence; Touch no unclean thing! Go ye out from the midst of her; Be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah!
12 Tokrhat la coe boel lamtah yonglong khaw hmaai boeh. Nangmih mikhmuh ah aka cet BOEIPA neh Israel Pathen loh nang ng'khoem ta.
For not in haste shall ye go forth, Nor in flight shall ye pass along; For Jehovah shall march in your front, And the God of Israel bring up your rear.
13 Ka sal loh a cangbam bitni. Amah te a pomsang vetih a ludoeng vaengah bahoeng sang bitni.
Behold, my servant shall prosper; He shall be lifted up, and set on high, and greatly exalted.
14 Nang taengah muep a hal uh vanbangla a hmuethma khaw hlang lakah, a suisak hlang ca rhoek lakah poeih uh tangloeng coeng.
As many were amazed at the sight of him, —So disfigured and scarcely human was his visage, And so unlike that of a man was his form, —
15 Namtom rhoek khaw anih kongah a haeh muep vetih manghai rhoek loh a ka a buem uh ni. Amih taengah a doek pah pawt te khaw a hmuh uh vetih a yaak uh noek pawt te a yakming uh ni.
So shall he cause many nations to exult on account of him; Kings shall shut their mouths before him. For what had never been told them shall they see, And what they never heard shall they perceive.
