Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary [beast].
Bel ni a lû a saling teh, Nebo a kârahnoum sak. Ahnimae meikaphawknaw teh, a khok pali touh e saring e van doeh a hung awh. Na phu rumram hanelah doeh sak e lah ao teh, saringnaw ni nget ka tâwn lah a phu awh.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
A kârahnoum awh teh, rei a rawp awh. Amamae hnokari kârungngang thai awh hoeh. Amamanaw san lah letlang a ceikhai awh.
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which have been borne [by me] from the belly, which have been carried from the womb:
Oe Jakop imthungnaw ka lawk thai awh haw. Ka cawi rae imthungnaw, pek na khe hoi vonthung na o na hoi doeh kai ni na tawm toe.
4 and even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
Na matawng totouh hai na sam a po ditouh, kai teh hot patetlah e tami lah ka o teh, nangmanaw na tawm awh han, na sak awh e patetlah na ring awh vaiteh, na rungngang awh han.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Nangmouh ni api hoi maw na mei na kâla sak awh han. Api hoi maw na kâvan sak awh teh, api hoi maw na bangnue awh han.
6 Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; they fall down, yea, they worship.
Yawngya thung hoi sui moikapap rasa e patetlah ngun hai yawcu dawk a khing, sum kahlun e koe meikaphawk lah na sak sak awh teh, na tabo sin awh teh na bawk awh.
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
A loung dawk a hrawm awh teh, a ceikhai awh teh, amae hmuen dawk ouk a pâhung awh. Pou a kangdue teh, a onae hmuen koehoi kampuen mahoeh toe. A kaw awh nakunghai lawk dei pouh thai mahoeh. A rucatnae koehoi hai rungngang thai mahoeh.
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Oe lawk kaeknaw, hetheh pahnim awh hanh. Tongpa katang lah awm awh nateh, bout pouk awh.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me;
Ayan e hno hah pahnim hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kai teh na Cathut lah ka o teh, kai hloilah Cathut alouke awm hoeh. Kai hoi kâvan e awm hoeh.
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Kamtawngnae koehoi apout totouh thoseh, ayan hoi kaawm rah boihoeh e hnonaw thoseh, ka dei teh ka pouknae a kuep han, ka ngai e pueng be ka sak han telah a ti.
11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
Kanîtholah hoi e ka matheng e tava, ahlanae hmuen koehoi ka pouk e hah ka kaw, yo ka dei e patetlah ka sak han.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
Lannae hoi ahla poungnae koe kaawmnaw ka lawk thai awh haw.
13 I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory,
Kahnaicalah lannae ka thokhai han. Ahla poungnae koe kaawm mahoeh. Rungngangnae, lungmanae nihai, na ring mahoeh. Zion vah rungngangnae ka ta vaiteh, ka bawilennae Isarel hanelah ka hruek han.
