Isaiah 59
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Khenah, pahlong thaih han ai khoek to, Angraeng ih ban loe duem ai; thaih thai han ai khoek to naa doeh pang ai.
1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.
2Toe na sakpazaehaih hmuennawk mah ni na Sithaw hoi ampraeksak, anih mah thaih han ai ah, na zaehaih mah anih ih mikhmai to khuk khoep boeh.
2But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
3Nangcae ih ban loe athii akap moe, na banpazungnawk doeh sakpazaehaih oh boeh; na pahninawk mah amsawnlok to thuih o moe, na palainawk mah doeh kasae hmuen khue ni thuih o.
3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.
4Mi mah doeh kamsoem lok to thui ai, loktang doeh thui o ai; azom pui lok ah amha o moe, amsawnlok to a thuih o; kasae poekhaih to zokpomh o moe, zae sakhaih to tapen o.
4No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case honestly. They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies; they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5Nihcae loe pahui sae tadui to awh o moe, bongpaha tayae to zaeng o; nihcae ih tadui caa kaminawk loe duek o, tadui koih naah pahui caanawk to tacawt o.
5They hatch the eggs of vipers and weave a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
6Nihcae mah bongpaha tayae to kahni ah sah o thai ai; a sak o ih hmuen hoiah doeh padap o thai ai; a sak o ih hmuennawk loe sethaih ah oh pongah, nihcae ban ah athii longhaih to oh.
6Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are sinful deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7Nihcae loe kasae sakhaih bangah khok takan rang o moe, tidoeh panoek ai kami athii palong hanah angtawt rang o; kasae poekhaih to a tawnh o, nihcae ih loklam ah loe amrohaih hoi anghmathaih to oh.
7Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.
8Monghaih loklam to panoek o ai; a caehhaih loklam ah toenghaih om ai; a caeh o haih loklam to angkawn o sak; to loklam ah caeh kaminawk loe monghaih to panoek o mak ai.
8The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their tracks. They have turned them into crooked paths; no one who treads on them will know peace.
9To pongah toenghaih loe aicae khae hoi angthla boeh, toenghaih mah aicae hae kae ai boeh; aanghaih a zing o, toe khenah vinghaih to oh lat; ni aengh to a pakrong o, toe tahmuep thungah ni a caeh o lat.
9Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10Aicae loe mikmaeng baktiah tapang to pathoep moe, mik tawn ai kami baktiah loklam to a pathoep o; athun naah khoving baktiah amthaek o; thacak kaminawk salakah kadueh kaminawk baktiah a oh o.
10Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall, groping like those without eyes. We stumble at midday as in the twilight; among the vigorous we are like the dead.
11Taqomnawk baktiah a hangh o moe; pahuu baktiah a oi o; toenghaih to a pakrong o, toe a hnu o ai; pahlonghaih to a pakrong o, toe pahlonghaih loe aicae khae hoi angthla aep.
11We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but find none, for salvation, but it is far from us.
12Kaicae sakpazaehaih loe na hmaa ah paroeai pop moe, kaimacae zaehaih mah zaehaih ang net; sakpazaehaih hoi ka oh o pongah, ka sakpazaehaihnawk to ka panoek o.
12For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:
13Zae sakhaih hoi amsawnlok thuihaih mah Angraeng to misa ah ohsak, aimaecae ih Sithaw to angqoi o taak ving boeh; pacaekthlaekhaih lok, ang aekhaih lok, alinghaih hoi amsawnlok to palung thung hoiah a thuih o boeh.
13rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart.
14Katoeng ah lokcaekhaih loe hnukbang ah angnawn ving boeh moe, toenghaih doeh kangthla ah angdoet ving boeh; loktang loe loklam ah amtim sut, toenghaih loe athung ah akun thai ai.
14So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
15Ue, loktang loe anghmat ving boeh; hmuensae caehtaak kami to lomh o; lomhaih to Angraeng mah hnuk naah, toenghaih om ai boeh pongah anghoe ai.
15Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
16Anih mah khet naah mi doeh hnu ai, hnikung mi doeh om ai pongah, palungboeng sut; to pongah a ban mah angmah hanah pahlonghaih to sak; a toenghaih mah anih to kacakah angdoetsak.
16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.
17Toenghaih to saoek pakaahaih kahni baktiah angkhuk moe, pahlonghaih sumlumuek to angmuek; lu lakhaih kahni hoiah amthoep moe, poek thacakhaih kahni to angkhuk.
17He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.
18A sak o ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, anih mah sah pathok let tih; a misanawk khaeah palungphuihaih baktih toengah, a misanawk to lu la tih; tuipui mah takui ih prae thungah kaom kaminawk doeh a sak o ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, anih mah sah pathok let tih.
18So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.
19Niduem bang ih kaminawk mah Angraeng ih ahmin to zii o ueloe, ni angyae bang ih kaminawk mah a lensawkhaih to khingza o tih. Kalen tuiphu baktiah misa angzoh naah, Angraeng ih Muithla mah pakaa tih.
19So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.
20Krangkung loe dawnpakhuem Jakob imthung ih kaminawk khae hoiah Zion mae ah angzo tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
20“The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the LORD.
21Nihcae hoi ka sak ih lokmaihaih loe nangcae nuiah kaom kai ih Muithla, nangcae pakha thungah ka suek ih ka loknawk loe vaihi hoi kamtong dungzan khoek to, nangcae ih pakha, na caanawk ih pakha hoi na caanawk patoeng ih pakha thung hoiah anghmaa mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
21“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.
