Isaiah 42
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Khenah ka caksak ih ka tamna; ka qoih ih kami, palung koek ih loe anih ni; a nuiah ka Muithla to ka suek, anih mah Gentel kaminawk hanah toenghaih to sin pae tih.
1“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2Anih loe loklam ah hang mak ai, lok to aek mak ai, mi mah doeh anih ih lok to thai mak ai.
2He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3Ahmaa kaom akung to anih mah khaek mak ai, kadueh tom hmai doeh paduek mak ai; anih mah oephaih hoi toenghaih to sin tih.
3He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4Anih loe long ah toenghaih om ai karoek to, palungboeng mak ai, tha doeh sae mak ai; tui mah takui ih prae kaminawk mah anih patukhaih to zing o tih.
4He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice on the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
5Vannawk sak pacoengah, payuengkung; long thungah kaom hmuennawk boih pungsakkung, long ah kaom kaminawk han anghahaih takhi paekkung, long cawh kaminawk hanah hinghaih takhi paekkung, Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih;
5God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
6Kai Angraeng mah toenghaih hoiah kang kawk, na ban to kang patawnh pae moe, kang toep han; kaminawk lokmaihaih hoi Gentelnawk aanghaih ah kang suek han;
6“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7mikmaengnawk ih mik to amtuengsak moe, thongkrah kaminawk loisak pacoengah, thongkrakhaih im kaving thungah anghnu kaminawk prawt kami ah kang suek han.
7to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh; ka hmin loe to tiah oh; ka lensawkhaih to minawk kalah khaeah ka paek mak ai, kai pakoehhaih doeh sak cop ih krangnawk khaeah ka paek mak ai.
8“I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9Khenah, hmaloe ah ka thuih ih hmuennawk loe oh tangtang boeh, vaihi loe kangtha hmuennawk ni ka thuih; to hmuennawk om ai naah kang thuih coek boeh, tiah a naa.
9Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
10Tuipui thung caeh kaminawk hoi tuipui thungah kaom hmuennawk boih, tuipui mah takui ih prae kaminawk hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih, Angraeng khaeah laa kangtha to sah oh loe long boenghaih hoiah anih saphawhaih laa to sah oh.
10Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
11Praezaeknawk hoi to ah kaom vangpuinawk loe tha hoiah hang o nasoe, Kedar ih kaminawk doeh anghoe o nasoe; lungsong pongah kaom kaminawk mah anghoehaih laa to sah o nasoe loe, mae nui hoiah hang o nasoe.
11Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12Angraeng khaeah lensawkhaih paek o nasoe, tuipui thung ih praenawk khaeah anih saphawhaih laa to panoek o sak nasoe.
12Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13Angraeng loe thacak kami baktiah caeh ueloe, misatuh kami baktiah minawk palungthin to pahruek tih; hanghaih hoi misatukhaih lok to thui tih, ue, hang ueloe, a misanawk to pazawk tih.
13The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14Kai loe atue kasawk ah kam uep; lok apae ai ah ka oh duem, pauephaih hoiah kho ka sak; toe vaihi loe nongpata caa oh natuem ih kana aham baktih toengah, ka hangh han; vaito ah kam rosak phaeng han.
14“I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15Maenawk hoi maesomnawk to ka pongsak sut moe, phrohnawk doeh ka zaeksak boih han; vapui tui to ka kangsak moe, tuilinawk doeh ka kangsak boih han.
15I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16Nihcae mah panoek o vai ai ih loklam hoiah mikmaengnawk to ka zaeh han; nihcae mah panoek o vai ai ih loklam ah ka caeh haih han; nihcae hmaa ih vinghaih to aanghaih ah kang coengsak moe, kangkawn loklamnawk to ka patoengh han. Nihcae khaeah hae hmuennawk hae ka sak pae han, nihcae to ka pahnawt sut mak ai.
16I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17Sak cop ih krang oep kaminawk, krangnawk khaeah, Nangcae loe kaicae ih sithaw ah na oh o, tiah thui kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah hnukbang ah amlaem o let tih.
17“Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18Nangcae naapang kaminawk, tahngai oh; nangcae mikmaengnawk, na hnuk o thai hanah, khen oh.
18“Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
19Mi maw ka tamna baktiah mik kamaeng, to tih ai boeh loe mi maw ka patoeh ih laicaeh baktiah naa kapang? Kai khaeah angpaek kami baktih, Angraeng ih tamna baktiah mi maw mikmaeng ah kaom?
19Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD’s servant?
20Hmuen kating ai na hnuk o boeh, toe tidoeh na poek o ai; naa doeh akhaw to mah na thaih o ai.
20You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
21Angraeng loe a toenghaih pongah ni anghoe, a patuk ih lok to pakoeh moe, lensawkhaih hoiah koisak.
21It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
22Hae acaeng loe amrohaih hoi lomhaih tongh kami ah oh; nihcae loe tangqom thungah krak o moe, thongim thungah anghawk o boih; amrohaih tongh o naah, mi mah doeh akrang ai; hmuenmae lomh pae o naah, mi mah doeh paek o let ah, tiah thui pae o ai.
22But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23Tipongah hae kaminawk loe lok tahngai o ai loe? Angzo han koi atue to panoek moe, pakuem kami oh o maw?
23Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24Mi mah maw lomh hanah Jacob to paek moe, mingcahnawk ban ah Israel to paek? A zae o pongah to tiah paekkung loe Angraeng angmah na ai maw? Nihcae loe Angraeng ih loklam to pazui o ai moe, anih mah patuk ih lok doeh tahngai pae o ai.
24Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Didn’t the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
25To pongah nihcae nuiah hmai baktih kamngaeh palungphuihaih to kraih moe, kanung parai misatukhaih to phaksak; nihcae loe hmai mah takui khoep, toe panoek o ai toengtoeng vop; hmaipalai mah kangh boeh, toe tidoeh sah ai ah oh o toengtoeng vop.
25Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know. It burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
