< Isaiah 66 >

1 Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the place of my rest?
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vaan khaw kai kah ngolkhoel ni. Diklai khaw ka kho kah khotloeng ni. Kai ham im na sak uh te melae? Ka duemnah hmuen te menim?
2 For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Te rhoek boeih te ka kut loh a saii. Te rhoek boeih te BOEIPA kah olphong ah om coeng. Mangdaeng neh mueihla aka paep, kai ol dongah aka thuen, te ni ka paelki.
3 He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
Vaito aka ngawn loh hlang ni a ngawn. Tu aka ngawn loh ui ni a ah. Ok thii te khocang la aka khuen, hmueihtui aka thoelh tih boethae aka uem, amih long khaw amamih kah longpuei te a coelh uh. Amamih kah sarhingkoi dongah a hinglu khaw naep lah.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
Kai long khaw amih kah camoe hnatuem te ka coelh vetih amamih kah rhihnahkoi te amamih soah ka thoeng sak ni. Ka khue vaengah aka doo om pawh. Ka thui dae hnatun uh pawh. Ka mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih ka ngaih mueh te a tuek uh.
5 Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
A ol dongah aka thuen rhoek te BOEIPA ol hnatun uh. Nangmih aka hmuhuet tih nang aka rhoe na manuca rhoek loh, “Kai ming neh BOEIPA thangpom saeh lamtah nangmih kah kohoenah te ka hmu eh?,” a ti uh dae amih te yak uh ni.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
Khopuei lamkah longlonah ol neh bawkim lamkah ol, a thunkha te a tiing la aka thung BOEIPA ol.
7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
A vawn hlan ah aka cun, a soah tharhui a tloh hlan ah ca tongpa aka oi.
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Te bang aka ya te unim? Te bang aka hmu te unim? Khohnin pakhat dongah diklai he vawn tih namtom he voei khat la a cun a? A vawn phoeiah ni Zion loh a ca te a cun.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your God.
Kai ka khaem tih a ka cun pawt eh? BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Kai loh ka cun sak tih ka khaih. Te te na Pathen long ni a thui.
10 "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
Jerusalem taengah kohoe sak lamtah amah aka lungnah boeih loh anih ham omngaih uh. Anih ham aka nguekcoi boeih loh a taengah omthennah neh ngaingaih uh.
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
Te daengah ni nangmih te ng'khut vetih a hloephloeinah rhangsuk te na cung uh eh. Na oktoem uh vetih a thangpomnah neh a baepet la na pang na dok uh bitni.
12 For thus says the LORD, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
Te dongah ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih te kai kah rhoepnah tuiva bangla ka dangka sak tih namtom kah a thangpomnah soklong bangla ka long sak. A haep ah n'khut uh tih m'poeh uh phoeiah khuklu soah n'hnang sak ni.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
Hlang bangla anih aka hloep a manu te unim? Kamah loh nang kan hloep tangloeng vetih Jerusalem soah dam na ti bitni.
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
Na hmuh vaengah na lungbuei ngaingaih vetih na rhuh khaw baelhing bangla poe ni. A sal rhoek te BOEIPA kut loh a ming vetih a thunkha rhoek te kosi a sah thil ni.
15 For, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
BOEIPA tah hmai neh a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ha pawk coeng ke. Amah kah kosi thintoek neh, amah kah tluungnah hmaihluei hmai neh thuung ham pawn ni.
16 For by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Pumsa boeih te BOEIPA loh hmai neh cunghang neh lai a tloek ni. BOEIPA taengah a rhok la muep pung ni.
17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says the LORD.
Aka ciim uh tih aka caihcil loh, a khui kah khat khat hnukah, dum kah ok saa konawhnah neh su aka ca rhoek te rhenten a thup uh ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
18 "For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and see my glory.
Kai loh amih kah khoboe neh amih kopoek te ka ming ta. Namtom boeih neh ol boeih te coi ham ha pawk. Amih ha pawk uh vaengah ka thangpomnah te a hmuh uh ni.
19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Amih taengah miknoek ka khueh vetih amih lamkah hlangyong rhoek te namtom taeng neh Tarshish Pul taengah, lii aka oei Lud, Tubal neh kai olthang aka ya pawt tih kai thangpomnah aka hmu pawh khohla sanglak Javan taengla ka tueih ni. Te vaengah namtom rhoek taengah ka thangpomnah te a doek uh ni.
20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
Na manuca rhoek boeih te namtom boeih taeng lamloh BOEIPA ham khocang la marhang dongah, leng neh, pa neh, muli-marhang dongah, thoh-lang dongah, ka tlang cim Jerusalem la ha pawk uh ni. BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA im cim kah hnopai dongah khocang la hang khuen uh ni.
21 And I will also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says the LORD.
Amih lamkah te khosoih la, Levi la ka loh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng.
22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
Te bangla vaan thai neh diklai thai te ka saii tih ka mikhmuh ah aka pai sak khaw kai ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na tiingan neh na ming thoo ni.
23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says the LORD.
Hlasae lamloh hlasae, Sabbath lamloh Sabbath a pha vaengah pumsa boeih ka mikhmuh ah bakop hamla ha pawk ni. BOEIPA loh a thui.
24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all humankind."
Kai taengkah boekoek hlang rhoek kah rhok te a thoeng thil uh vetih a hmuh uh ni. Amih kah a rhiit te duek pawt vetih a hmai khaw thi mahpawh. Pumsa boeih taengah koletnah la om uh ni.
