Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Lungpahawi awh, ka taminaw hah lungpahawi awh haw, telah nangmae Cathut ni a ti.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her time of suffering is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins.
Tarantuk thaw na tawknae tueng akuep toe. Nange yon hai ngaithoum toe telah Jerusalem kho koe lawkkanem lahoi dei awh nateh, oung pouh awh haw.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!
Ramke dawk Oung pouh e teh, BAWIPA e lamthung teh rasoun awh. Thingyeiyawn dawk maimae Cathut e lamkalen teh sak awh.
4 Every valley shall be raised up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places a plain.
Ravo kaawm e pueng paten awh nateh, monnaw hah tanghling sak awh. Ukuk kacoum e lamthungnaw hah kânging sak nateh, duradiduradup e naw hah kâpi sak awh.
5 And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
BAWIPA e bawilennae kamnuek vaiteh, tami pueng ni a hmu awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
6 A voice saith, Cry. And he saith, What shall I cry? — All flesh is grass, and all the comeliness thereof as the flower of the field.
Hote lawk ni hramkhai haw ati navah, kai ni bangmouh ka hramkhai han ka ti pouh navah, tami pueng teh phokung lah doeh ao. Ahnimae hawinae pueng hai kahrawng e a pei patetlah doeh ao.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, for the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
BAWIPA e a kâha ni a kanawi toteh, phokungnaw teh a kamyai awh teh, a peinaw hai a sarut awh. Atangcalah, taminaw teh phokung lah doeh ao awh.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God abideth for ever.
Phokung teh a kamyai teh, a pei hai a sarut. Maimae Cathut lawk teh a yungyoe a kangning a ti.
9 O Zion, that bringest glad tidings, get thee up into a high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest glad tidings, lift up thy voice with strength: lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Zion mon dawk kamthang kahawi kasinkung, ka rasang e mon dawk luen haw. Jerusalem vah kamthang kahawi kasinkung, puenghoi hramkhai haw. Taket hanh. Na Cathut hah khenhaw! telah Judah khonaw koe dei pouh haw.
10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with might, and his arm shall rule for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.
Khenhaw! Bawipa Jehovah teh thaonae kut hoi tho vaiteh, amae kutbuembue ni ama hanelah a uk han. Ama e tawkphu teh ama ni a thokhai han. Ama e kutphu hai a hmalah ao.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom; he will gently lead those that give suck.
A tuhunaw hah tukhoumkung patetlah kawk vaiteh, tucanaw hah a kut hoi tawm vaiteh, a tawm han. A ca kanaw kaawm e tunaw hai paiyai hoi a hrawi han.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out the heavens with [his] span, and grasped the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills in scales?
Tuinaw hah amae kuttabei hoi ka bangnue e, kalvan hah a kut hoi ka pakhap thai e, talai van e vaiphunaw hah yawcu khingnae dawk ka hrueng thai e, monnaw hah yawcu hoi ka khing niteh, monruinaw hah khinglung hoi ka khing thai e teh api nama.
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah, and, [as] his counsellor, hath taught him?
BAWIPA e Muitha hah apinimaw a bangnue thai han. Apimaw ama hoi kâpan niteh, ama hah ka panuek sak.
14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] gave him intelligence, and instructed him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed him the way of understanding?
Bawipa ni api hoi maw a kâpan teh, ahni ni Bawipa hah a thai panue sak thai vaw. Apinimaw Bawipa hah a cangkhai teh, lamthung hah a patue teh, a thai panuek nahanelah ka dei pouh vaw.
15 Behold, the nations are esteemed as a drop of the bucket, and as the fine dust on the scales; behold, he taketh up the isles as an atom.
Miphunnaw teh sikrei dawk hoi padekca e patetlah ao teh, yawcu dawk e vaiphuca patetlah doeh ao. Khenhaw! Tuilumnaw teh, mungpoung e patetlah doeh ao.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering.
Lebanon mon teh hmai patawi nahanelah khout hoeh. Hote mon dawk kaawm e moithangnaw hai hmaisawi thueng nahanelah khout hoeh.
17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are esteemed by him less than a cipher, and vanity.
Khoram pueng hai Bawipa e hmalah teh, banghai bang hoeh e patetlah ao teh, banghai bang hoeh e hlak hai a thoungca e patetlah ao awh teh, ahrawnghrang patet lahai ao awh.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? and what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Hatdawkvah, Cathut hah api hoi maw bangnue han. Bawipa hah bang hoi maw bangnue han.
19 The workman casteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains [for it].
Meikaphawknaw teh, kasakkung ni sui puk a hluk teh, ngundingyin hai ouk a sak pou awh.
20 He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a tree that doth not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved.
Pasoumhno poe thai hoeh hane totouh, ka roedeng e tami niteh, kahmawn thai hoeh e thing hah a kârawi teh, kâroe thai hoeh e meikaphawk sak hanelah, kasakthaie naw hah ouk a tawng awh.
21 — Do ye not know? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundation of the earth?
Na panuek awh hoeh maw. Apuengcue hoi nangmouh koe dei awh hoeh maw. Talai pek a pâw hoiyah na thaipanuek awh hoeh maw.
22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a gauze curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
Talai kamhluem e van vah ka tahung niteh, talai van kaawm e taminaw teh awsi patetlah ao awh.
23 that bringeth the princes to nothing, that maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Ukkung bawinaw hah banghai bang hoeh lah a coung sak teh, talai lawkcengkungnaw hah ahrawnghrang lah a coung sak.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely hath their stock taken root in the earth, but he also bloweth upon them and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
Atangcalah ahnimouh hah patue hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae cati hai kahei hoeh. Atangcalah ahnimae khawngyang teh talai dawk kâung hoeh. Ahnimouh hah phohmu toteh ahnimouh teh, bongparui ni cahik patetlah a palek awh han.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
Hottelah pawiteh, Kai teh api hoi maw a kâvan na ti awh han vaw telah kathounge Bawipa ni a ti.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see! Who hath created these things, bringing out their host by number? He calleth them all by name; through the greatness of his might and strength of power, not one faileth.
Nangmae na mit naw hoi kahlun lah khenhaw. Hete hnonaw hah apinimaw a sak. Hote Bawipa ni teh hotnaw pueng hah koung a parei thai. A min lahoi koung a kaw thai. A thasai teh, bahu hoi a kawi dawkvah, buet touh boehai kahmat mahoeh.
27 Why sayest thou, Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and my right is passed away from my God?
Ka ceinae lamthung teh BAWIPA ni a hro. Ka coe hane kawi hai Cathut ni banglahai ngâi hoeh telah Oe Jakop miphun ni bangkongmaw na dei awh. Oe Isarel miphun bangkongmaw na dei awh.
28 Dost thou not know, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not nor tireth? There is no searching of his understanding.
Na panuek hoeh maw. Na thai boihoeh maw. Jehovah teh a yungyoe kangning e Cathut, talai pout ditouh kasakkung Cathut lah ao. A tâwn tie awm hoeh. A patang tie awm hoeh. Bawipa e panuenae hoi thaipanueknae teh apinihai tawng thai hoeh.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
Bawipa ni ka tâwn e naw hah tha a poe teh, tithainae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah tithainae a poe.
30 Even the youths shall faint and shall tire, and the young men shall stumble and fall;
Nawsainaw teh a tâwn awh vaiteh, a tha a baw awh han. Camonaw hai kamthui awh vaiteh, a tâlaw awh han.
31 but they that wait upon Jehovah shall renew [their] strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not tire; they shall walk, and not faint.
BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw teh, thaonae a katha hoi a kawi awh han. Matawnaw patetlah amamae rathei hoi kahlun lah a kamleng awh han. A yawng awh toteh patang awh mahoeh. A ceio awh to hai tâwn awh mahoeh.
