Isaiah 60

1 Thoo laeh, vang laeh. Nang kah vangnah ha pawk coeng tih BOEIPA thangpomnah tah nang soah sae coeng.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

2 Hmaisuep loh diklai, yinnah loh namtu a dah coeng ke. Tedae nang soah BOEIPA ha thoeng coeng tih a thangpomnah khaw nang soah tueng coeng.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 Na vangnah dongah namtom rhoek loh, namah kah pangtong khosae ah manghai rhoek loh pongpa uh ni.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

4 Na mik te huel lamtah a kaepvai kah amih boeih ke so lah. Kho hla lamkah na ca rhoek te coi uh thae tih nang taengla ha pawk uh. Ha pawk uh vaengah na canu rhoek te a laengpang ah a poeh uh.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.

5 Te vaengah na hmuh vetih na hlampan bitni. Anih te birhih vetih na thinko hang ka sak ni. Tuitunli kah a hlangping te nang taengla ha buung vetih namtom kah khuehtawn te nang taengla ha pawk ni.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

6 Kalauk cako loh nang ng'et ni. Midian neh Ephah kalauk ca rhoek khaw a pum la Sheba lamkah sui hang khuen uh vetih hmueihtui ham phueih uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA koehnah a phong uh ni.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

7 Kedar boiva boeih khaw nang taengla tingtun uh vetih Nebaioth tutal rhoek loh nang n'khut ni. Ka hmueihtuk kah kolonah la luei uh vetih ka boeimang im te ka cam ni.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

8 Khomai bangla ding uh tih vahui bangla amamih kahbangbuet la aka cet te u rhoek nim?

Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

9 Sanglak rhoek loh kai he ni n'lamtawn uh ngawn. Tarshish sangpho loh khohla lamkah na ca rhoek te amamih kah ngun neh sui neh lamhma la ham pawk puei ni. BOEIPA na Pathen ming ham neh Israel kah a cim ham te nang n'cam coeng.

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

10 Na vongtung tah kholong ca rhoek loh hang khoeng uh vetih a manghai rhoek loh nang n'khut ni. Ka thinhul ah nang kan taam cakhaw ka kolonah dongah nang kan haidam ni.

And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

11 Namtom kah khuehtawn te nang taengla aka pawk puei ham na vongka loh ong uh taitu vetih khoyin khothaih khai uh mahpawh. Te vaengah a manghai rhoek te hmaithawn uh ni.

Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.

12 Nang taengah tho aka thueng pawh namtom neh ram tah milh uh vetih namtom rhoek khaw rhae la rhae uh ni.

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

13 Ka rhokso hmuen cam hamla Lebanon kah thangpomnah hmaical, kungkang neh ta-aw thing khaw nang taengla tun ha pawk vetih ka kho kung kah a hmuen ah ka thangpom ni.

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

14 Nang aka phaep rhoek kah a ca rhoek te nang taengah aka ngawm sut la ha pawk uh ni. Nang yah aka bai rhoek boeih na kho kah khopha taengah bakop uh ni. BOEIPA kah khopuei Zion nang te Israel kah a cim la a khue uh ni.

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 A hnoo sut neh a hmuhuet la na om tih aka pongpa om pawh. Tedae nang te kumhal kah hoemdamnah neh cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma ham omthennah la kang khueh ni.

Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

16 Namtom kah suktui te na yawn vetih manghai rhoek kah rhangsuk te khaw na yawn ni. Te vaengah kai BOEIPA tah nang aka khang neh nang aka tlan Jakob kah samrhang la na ming ni.

Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

17 Rhohum yueng la sui kang khuen vetih thi yueng la ngun, thing yueng la rhohum, lungto yueng la thi kang khuen ni. Nang aka cawhkung te rhoepnah neh, nang aka tueihno te duengnah neh ka khueh ni.

For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

18 Na khohmuen ah kuthlahnah, na khorhi khuiah rhoelrhanah neh pocinah te ya voel mahpawh. Tedae na vongtung te khangnah la, na vongka te koehnah la na khue ni.

Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

19 Nang ham tah khothaih khosae la khomik khaw kuek voel pawt vetih hla kah a aa loh nang soah ha sae mahpawh. Tedae BOEIPA tah nang ham kumhal khosae neh na Pathen te na boeimang la om ni.

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20 Na khomik te khum voel pawt vetih na hla khaw yaem voel mahpawh. BOEIPA tah nang ham kumhal khosae la om vetih na nguekcoinah khohnin khaw khum ni.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

21 Amih na pilnam aka dueng boeih loh khohmuen kumhal duela a pang uh ni. A thingling pae he ka thingling neh ka kut kah bibi neh a cam ham om.

Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

22 A dikhnawn te thawngkhat la, canoi khaw namtu pilnu la om ni. Kai BOEIPA tah amah tue vaengah amah la ka tawn uh ni.

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
