Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples from afar. Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Sanglak rhoek loh kamah taengkah he hnatun uh saeh lamtah khohla lamkah namtu rhoek loh hnatung uh saeh. BOEIPA loh kai he bungko khuiah ng'khue coeng tih a nu bung khuiah ni ka ming a sum coeng.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, he hath concealed me under the shadow of his hand, and he hath made me a polished shaft: in his quiver hath he hidden me.
Ka ka he cunghang haat bangla a khueh tih a kut dongkah hlipkhup ah kai n'thuh. Kai he thaltang la n'khueh tih amah kah liva dongah a meet tangtae la kai n'thuh.
3 And he said unto me, Thou art my servant, Israel, in whom I will glorify myself.
Kai taengah tah, “Kamah kah sal tah Israel nang, namah dongah ni ka ko ka hang eh.
4 — And I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and in vain; nevertheless my judgment is with Jehovah, and my work with my God.
Tedae kai loh a poeyoek la ka ti coeng. A hinghong la ka kohnue tih ka thadueng khaw a honghi coeng. Ka tiktamnah he BOEIPA taengah, ka thaphu te ka Pathen taengah ka bawt.
5 And now, saith Jehovah, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I should bring Jacob again to him; (though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorified in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God shall be my strength; )
Bungko khui lamloh amah kah sal la kai aka hlinsai BOEIPA loh Jakob te amah taengla mael sak ham neh Israel te amah taengla coi ham te a thui coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka thangpom uh tih ka Pathen tah ka sarhi la om.
6 — and he saith, It is a small thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel; I have even given thee for a light of the nations, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Jakob koca te thoh ham neh Israel a kueinah tih mael puei ham khaw kamah kah sal la na om te rhaemaih. Nang tah diklai khobawt duela kamah kah khangnah a om sak ham neh namtom rhoek kah vangnah la kang khueh ni,” a ti.
7 Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to the servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall worship, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
Israel aka tlan tih anih kah a cim Yahovah loh hinglu kah a hnaep taengah, namtom kah a tuei taengah, aka taemrhai rhoek kah sal taengah, “Manghai rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah mangpa rhoek khaw thoo uh vetih a bawk uh bitni. Israel kah a cim BOEIPA tah a uepom dongah ni nang n'coelh.
8 Thus saith Jehovah: In a time of acceptance have I answered thee, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
BOEIPA loh, “Kolonah tue vaengah nang kan doo tih khangnah khohnin ah nang kan bom. Nang te kang kueinah vetih aka pong tangtae khohmuen aka thoh ham neh rho aka pang pilnam patai la nang te kang khueh ni.
9 saying to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all bare hills.
Amih hmaisuep ah a khih rhoek te, 'Ha pawk uh lamtah ha mop uh,’ ti nah. Longpuei ah luem uh vetih caphoei cuk boeih te amih kah rhamtlim la poeh ni.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, and by the springs of water will he guide them.
Lamlum uh pawt vetih halthi uh mahpawh. Amih te unghae neh khomik loh do mahpawh. Amih aka haidam loh amih te a hmaithawn vetih tuisih tui taengla a khool ni.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be raised up.
Kamah kah tlang boeih te long la ka khueh vetih ka longpuei te ka pomsang ni.
12 Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Khohla lamkah rhoek te ha pawk uh ni ke. Tlangpuei lamkah rhoek neh tuitun lamkah ke khaw, Sinim kho lamkah rhoek khaw.
13 Shout, ye heavens; and be joyful, thou earth; and break forth into singing, ye mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted ones.
Vaan rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah diklai khaw omngaih saeh. Tlang rhoek khaw tamlung neh rhong la rhong uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a hloep tih mangdaeng rhoek te a haidam coeng.
14 But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
Zion loh, “Yahovah loh kai n'hnoo tih ka Boeipa loh kai n'hnilh coeng,” a ti.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even these forget, but I will not forget thee.
Huta loh a ca cahni te a hnilh a? A bungko khuikah a ca te a haidam ta. Te rhoek loh hnilh uh mai cakhaw kai long he nang kan hnilh mahpawh.
16 Lo, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my] hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Kutpha dongah nang kan tarhit coeng tih na vongtung khaw kamah hmaiah om yoeyah coeng he.
17 Thy sons shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that laid thee waste shall go forth from thee.
Na ca rhoek loh namah n'koengloeng uh paitok tih namah lamkah aka thoeng rhoek loh nang n'khah uh.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about and behold: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt indeed clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and bind them on as a bride doth.
Na mik te huel kilkoel lamtah hmu van lah. Amih te boeih coi uh thae tih nang taengla ha pawk uh coeng. Kai, hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih boeih te kamrhui bangla na vah vetih na langa bangla na hlaengtang ni.
19 For [in] thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy destroyed land, thou shalt even now be too straitened by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
Namah kah imrhong neh na ponah kho na pong sak. Khosa taeng lamloh n'daengdaeh pawn vetih nang aka yoop rhoek khaw lakhla uh bitni.
20 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too narrow for me: make room for me, that I may dwell.
Nang hlangmoeng ca rhoek na hna khuiah, “Kai ham a hmuen caek coeng tih kamah ham han thoeih lamtah kho ka sa eh?,” a ti uh ni.
21 And thou shalt say in thy heart, Who hath borne me these, seeing I had lost my children and was desolate, an exile, and driven about? and who hath brought up these? behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?
Te vaengah na thinko nen tah, “Kai aka cun te unim? Kai dueidah laemhong neh pumhong he a hliphen tih n'rhoe sut. Te dongah te rhoek aka puel sak te unim? Kai kamah bueng ka sueng vaengah melae amih eh?,” na ti ni.
22 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in [their] bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon the shoulder.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Namtom taengah ka kut ka thueng vetih pilnam hamla ka rholik ka thoh pah ni. Te vaengah tah na ca rhoek te poehla neh ham pawk puei uh vetih na tanu rhoek te laengpang dongah a poeh uh ni.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing-fathers, and their princesses thy nursing-mothers: they shall bow down to thee with the face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet. And thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah; for they shall not be ashamed who wait on me.
Manghai rhoek te nang aka kaem la, a boeinu rhoek khaw nang aka khut la om uh ni. Nang taengah a talung neh diklai la bakop uh vetih na kho dongkah laipi a laem uh ni. Te vaengah kai Yahovah neh kai aka lamtawn rhoek loh yah a poh pawt te na ming uh ni.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty? and shall he that is rightfully captive be delivered?
Hlangrhalh kah hnorhawt te a loh vetih aka dueng kah tamna te a loeih khaming a?
25 For thus saith Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will strive with him that striveth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hlangrhalh tamna khaw a loh pah vetih hlanghaeng a dang khaw a khong pah ni. Na lungawn taengah kai loh kang rhoe vetih na ca rhoek te kamah loh ka khang ni.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with new wine. And all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Nang aka vuelvaek rhoek te a saa ka cah vetih a thii te thingtui bangla rhuihmil uh ni. Te vaengah pumsa boeih loh kai tah nang kah khangkung Yahovah neh nang aka tlan Jakob kah samrhang la a ming uh ni.
