Isaiah 26
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To na niah loe Judah prae ah hae laa hae sah o tih; kacak vangpui to a tawnh o; Sithaw mah tapang hoi kacak sipae hoiah loihhaih to na sah pae tih.
1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.
2Khongkha to paong oh, loktang ah khosah kami hoi katoeng kaminawk to akun o nasoe;
2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation that keepeth faithfulness may enter in.
3poektoeng kami loe nang to oep pongah, kakoep monghaih to na paek tih.
3The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace; because it trusteth in Thee.
4Angraeng JEHOVAH loe dungzan abuephaih ah oh pongah, Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to oepthoh.
4Trust ye in the LORD for ever, for the LORD is GOD, an everlasting Rock.
5Anih mah hmuensang ah kaom kaminawk to pakhrak tathuk moe, kasang vangpuinawk doeh pahnaem tathuk; long ah kraksak moe, maiphu thungah a vah.
5For He hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground, bringing it even to the dust.
6To vangpui ah kamtang kami hoi kavawt kaminawk ih khok tangkannawk to khok hoiah cawh pae o tih.
6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7Katoeng kami loe loklam katoeng ah caeh; Aw Katoeng koek, nang loe, katoeng kami ih loklam to na sak pae.
7The way of the just is straight; Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.
8Ue, na toenghaih loklam, Aw Angraenhg nang to kang zing o; ka hing o haih mah na hmin ka panoek o poe thai hanah, koehhaih ka tawnh o.
8Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for Thee; to Thy name and to Thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
9Ka hinghaih mah khoving ah nang to poek, ue, kai thung ih pakhra mah khawnthaw ah nang to pakrong tih; long ah na lokcaekhaih phak naah, long nuiah kaom kaminawk mah na toenghaih to amtuk o tih.
9With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10Kasae kami khaeah tahmenhaih to nam tuengsak, toe toenghaih to amtuk mak ai; anih loe toenghaih prae ah mataeng doeh kahoih ai hmuen to sak toengtoeng vop moe, Angraeng lensawkhaih to tiah doeh sah ai.
10Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11Aw Angraeng, na ban payangh tahang naah, nihcae mah hnu o mak ai; toe nangmah ih kaminawk na khetzawnhaih nam tuengsak naah, nihcae loe azat o tih; ue, na misanawk ih hmai mah nihcae to kang tih.
11LORD, Thy hand was lifted up, yet they see not; they shall see with shame Thy zeal for the people; yea, fire shall devour Thine adversaries.
12Angraeng, monghaih to kaicae hanah nang paek tih; kaicae ih hmuennawk boih nang sak pae boeh.
12LORD, Thou wilt establish peace for us; for Thou hast indeed wrought all our works for us.
13Aw Angraeng kaicae ih Sithaw, nang mah khue ai, kalah angraengnawk mah doeh kaicae hae ang uk o boeh; toe nang ih ahmin khue ni ka saphaw o han.
13O LORD our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.
14Nihcae loe duek o boeh moe, hing o mak ai boeh; kadueh pakhranawk loe angthawk o let mak ai boeh; nihcae to na thuitaek moe, nam rosak; nihcae panoekhaih to nang hmatsak boeh.
14The dead live not, the shades rise not; to that end hast Thou punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15Aw Angraeng, acaeng to na pungsak moe, prae doeh na kawksak boeh; nang loe lensawkhaih hoiah na oh boeh; prae angzithaih ramrinawk boih doeh na kawksak boeh.
15Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O LORD, yea, exceeding great honour with the nations; Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.
16Angraeng, raihaih hoiah nang khaeah angzoh o; nihcae to na thuitaek naah, lawkthuihaih hoi nang khaeah ang zoh o.
16LORD, in trouble have they sought Thee, silently they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
17Aw Angraeng, kaicae loe zokpomh nongpata mah, nawkta tapen tom nathuem ih kana aham baktiah ni na hmaa ah ka oh o boeh.
17Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been at Thy presence, O LORD.
18Zok ka pomh o moe, nat loiah ka hangh o, toe tidoeh om ai takhi ni ka tapen o lat; long kaminawk mah loihhaih to hnu o ai; long nuiah kaom kaminawk pazawkhaih doeh om ai.
18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the land; neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life.
19Toe nang ih kadueh kaminawk loe hing o tih; nihcae loe kadueh ka takpum hoiah nawnto angthawk o tih. Nangcae maiphu thungah kaom kaminawk, Angthawk oh loe, laa to sah oh; nangcae ih dantui loe khawnthaw ah kaom phroh nui ih dantui baktiah oh, long mah kadueh kaminawk to va tih.
19Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise — awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust — for Thy dew is as the dew of light, and the earth shall bring to life the shades.
20Kai ih kaminawk, angzo oh, imthung ah akun oh, nangcae hnukah kaom thoknawk to khaa oh; palungphuihaih boeng ai karoek to nawnetta thungah anghawk oh.
20Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21Khenah, angmacae zaehaih pongah long kaminawk to thuitaek hanah, Angraeng loe angmah ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angzoh boeh; to naah long mah anih nuiah kaom athii longhaih to amtuengsak tih, anih mah hum ih kaminawk doeh hawk mak ai boeh.
21For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place to visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
