Isaiah 55
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Aw tui anghae kaminawk, angzo oh, tuikung ah angzo oh; nangcae phoisa tawn ai kaminawk, Angzo oh, qan oh loe caa oh! Ue, angzo oh, misurtui hoi tahnutui to phoisa paek ai ah qan oh.
1“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2Tipongah buh ah kaom ai hmuen pongah phoisa to na pasaeng o moe, zok amhah ai hmuen pongah tha tho na pasaeng o loe? Ka lok hae hoidakta ah tahngai oh, kahoih caaknaek to caa oh, to tiah ni na hinghaih mah kating ai anghoehaih to hnu tih.
2Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
3Na naa to patueng oh loe, kai khaeah angzo oh; na pakhra hing thai hanah ka lok hae tahngai oh; nangcae hoi dungzan lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, oepthok amlunghaih to David khaeah ka paek han.
3Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4Khenah, anih to kaminawk boih hnukung, zaehoikung hoi lok thuikung ah ka sak boeh.
4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5Khenah, anih mah ang pakoeh moe, Angraeng na Sithaw, Ciimcai Israel Sithaw rang hoiah, na panoek vai ai ih acaeng to na kawk tih, nang panoek vai ai kaminawk doeh nangcae khaeah cawn o tih:
5Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.”
6Anih hnuk thai koiah oh naah Angraeng to pakrong oh, kazoi ah oh naah kawk oh.
6Seek the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.
7Kasae kami mah a caehhaih loklam to toengh nasoe loe, katoeng ai poekhaih tawn kami mah katoeng ai a poekhaihnawk to toengh lai nasoe; Angraeng khaeah amlaem nasoe, to tiah ni anih mah a nuiah palungnathhaih to tawn tih; aicae Sithaw khaeah amlaem nasoe, to tiah nahaeloe a zaehaih to tahmen pae tih.
7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8Ka poekhaihnawk loe nangcae poekhaih hoiah anghmong ai; kai ih loklamnawk doeh nangcae ih loklamnawk hoiah anghmong ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says the LORD.
9Vannawk loe long pongah sang o kue baktih toengah, kai ih loklamnawk loe nangcae ih loklamnawk pongah sang kue, ka poekhaihnawk doeh nangcae poekhaihnawk pongah sang kue.
9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10Khotui hoi dantui loe van hoi krak tathuk pacoengah amlaem tanghang let ai; long to a duksak moe, aankungnawk to amprawksak; tadok tacawtsak moe, aanmu haeh kami hanah thingthai to athaisak, buhcaa kami hanah buh to ohsak:
10For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11ka pakha hoi tacawt lok loe to tiah om tih; azom pui ah kai khaeah amlaem mak ai, ka koehhaih to acungsak ueloe, toksak hanah ka patoeh ih hmuen to akoepsak tih.
11so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
12Nangcae loe anghoehaih hoiah na caeh o tih, lunghoihta ah na caeh o haih tih; maenawk hoi maesomnawk loe na hmaa ah laasakhaih hoiah hang o tih, taw ih thingnawk boih anghoehaih hoiah ban tabaeng o tih.
12For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
13Soekhringkung zuengah hmaica thing amprawk ueloe, kapring zuengah thing kamtak thing to amprawk tih; hae loe Angraeng ih ahmin panoek poehaih ah om ueloe, dungzan anghmaa thai ai angmathaih ah om tih boeh, tiah thuih.
13Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for the LORD, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
