Isaiah 61
1 The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
Amtang kaminawk khaeah tamthanglok hoih taphong hanah, Angraeng mah situi ang bawh boeh pongah, Angraeng Sithaw ih Muithla ka nuiah oh; anih mah poek amro kaminawk ih ahmaa to zaeng pae, misong ah kaom kaminawk khaeah loihaih lok to thuih pae moe, thongkrah kaminawk hanah thongim khongkha to paongh pae;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
aicae Sithaw lu lakhaih ani hoi Angraeng anghoehaih saning to thuih a pae moe, palungsae kaminawk pathloep hanah,
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
palungsae Zion kaminawk to pathloep moe, maiphu zuengah kranghoih lumuek, palungset zuengah anghoehaih situi, palung sethaih zuengah pakoehhaih kahni to paek hanah, kai hae ang patoeh boeh; a lensawkhaih amtuengsak hanah, nihcae to toenghaih thingkung, Angraeng mah thling ih thingkung, tiah kawk o tih boeh.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.
Nihcae mah canghnii hoiah kamro ahmuennawk to sah o let tih; angqai krangah kaom ahmuen hoi saning kasawkah amro tangcae, kapong sut vangpuinawk to pakhraih o let tih.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
Panoek ih kaminawk mah nang ih tuunawk to toep o tih, prae kalah kaminawk mah lawk to na phrawk pae o ueloe, misur takhanawk to na sah pae o tih.
6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations. You will boast in their glory.
Nangcae to Angraeng ih qaima, tiah na kawk o ueloe, minawk mah aicae Sithaw ih toksah Kaminawk, tiah na kawk o tih; Gentelnawk ih angraenghaih hmuenmaenawk to na caa o ueloe, nihcae lensawkhaih to nam oek o haih tih.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonour, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
Azathaih pongah alet hnetto tahamhoihaih na hnu o tih; ahmin set zuengah nihcae ih taham to na toep o tih; prae thungah tahamhoihaih alet hnetto na hnu o tih; nihcae loe dungzan anghoehaih hoiah om o tih boeh.
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and iniquity. I will give them their reward in truth and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Kai Angraeng loe katoengah lokcaekhaih to koeh, minawk ih hmuenmae lomhaih hoi zaehaih to ka hnukma; oepthohhaih hoiah nihcae toksakhaih atho to ka paek han, nihcae hoiah dungzan lokmaihaih to ka sak han.
9 Their offspring will be known amongst the nations, and their offspring amongst the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which the LORD has blessed.”
Nihcae ih acaeng hoi a caanawk loe Gentel kaminawk salakah ahmin amthang o tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih mah, nihcae loe Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek ih kami, tiah thui o tih.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Kai loe Angraeng ah anghoehaih ka tawnh han, ka hinghaih doeh Sithaw ah anghoe tih; zu paluemh thendoeng ih lu loe qaima baktiah amthoep moe, sava sah tangla mah atho kaom hmuennawk hoiah amthoep baktih toengah, anih mah kai hanah pahlonghaih kahni angkuksak moe, toenghaih kahni hoiah ang khuk boeh.
11 For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Long mah akungnawk to amprawksak moe, takha mah aanmunawk to amprawksak baktih toengah, Angraeng Sithaw mah toenghaih hoi pakoehhaih to prae congca kaminawk hmaa ah omsak tih boeh.
