Isaiah 64
1 Hmai neh thingpaem a hlae tih hmai loh tui a tlawk sak bangla na rhal rhoek taengah na ming ming sak ham ni,
Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down at your presence,
2 na mikhmuh ah namtom rhoek khaw tlai uh ni.
As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3 Ka lamtawn pawt te a rhih om la na saii vaengah tlang rhoek na mikhmuh ah na suntlak sak tih moelh uh.
When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your presence.
4 Khosuen lamloh ya uh noek pawt tih, hnakaeng uh pawh. Amah aka rhingda ham a saii namah phoeikah Pathen ti he mik loh ana hmuh moenih.
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits for him.
5 Aka ngaingaih tih na longpuei ah duengnah a saii neh nang aka poek rhoek te na doo. Nang khaw na thintoek coeng te. Tedae amih soah kumhal n'tholh dongah n'khang venim.
You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 Kaimih boeih he rhalawt la ka om uh tih kaimih kah duengnah boeih he pumbuk hni bangla om. Kaimih boeih he hawn bangla ka hoo uh tih kaimih thaesainah loh khohli bangla kaimih n'yawn.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 Na ming aka khue ham neh nang saicin ham aka haeng khaw om pawh. Kaimih lamloh na maelhmai na thuh tih kaimih kathaesainah kut ah kaimih nan paci sak.
And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 Yahovah namah he kaimih napa ni. Kaimih he amlai ni, kaimih aka hlinsai khaw namah ni. Kaimih boeih he na kut kah a bitat ni.
But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
9 BOEIPA na thin bahoeng toek sak aih boeh. Thaesainah khaw a yoeyah la poek boeh. Kaimih na pilnam boeih n'paelki laeh he.
Be not angry very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we plead to you, we are all your people.
10 Namah kah khopuei cim rhoek te khosoek la poeh coeng. Zion khaw khosoek la Jerusalem khopong la poeh.
Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Kaimih kah im cim neh kaimih kah boeimang, a pa rhoek loh nang thangthen nah te hmai dongah ungkhang la poeh tih kaimih kah ngailaemnah boeih khaw imrhong la om.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Te lalah khaw na thiim uh venim? BOEIPA nim na ngam vetih kaimih mat nan phaep aih veh.
Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?
