King James Version with Apocrypha
1Hloep uh pai, ka pilnam he hloep uh pai. Na Pathen loh,
1Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2Jerusalem te a lungbuei ah thui pah lamtah amah taengah hoe pah. Amah kathaesainah moeithen pah ham a caempuei khaw cung coeng. A tholhnah cungkuem ham te rhaepnit la BOEIPA kut a yook.
2Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.
3Khosoek kah pang ol dongah BOEIPA kah longpuei rhoekbah uh. Mamih Pathen ham longpuei te kolken duela dueng sak uh.
3¶ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD , make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4Kolrhawk khaw boeih nolh saeh lamtah tlang som boeih khaw kunyun sak uh laeh. Cangngok te tlangtlae la, ngoemngak te khaw kolbawn la om saeh.
4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5BOEIPA kah a ka loh a thui coeng dongah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah te phoe vetih pumsa ah thikat la boeih a hmuh uh ni.
5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it .
6Ol long tah pang dae a ti tih a thui coeng. Balae ka pang thil eh? Pumsa boeih he sulrham banghui ni, pumsa kah sitlohnah boeih khaw lohma kah tamlaep pai banghui mai ni.
6The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7Sulrham khaw rhae tih tamlaep pai tloih. Pilnam khaw BOEIPA kah a hil loh sulrham bangla a yawn taktak.
7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8Sulrham he rhae tih rhaipai loh rhul mai cakhaw mamih Pathen kah olka tah kumhal duela pai.
8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
9Zion ham aka phong loh na tlang sang la luei lah. Jerusalem ham aka phong khaw na thadueng ol neh pomsang lah. Rhih boeh pomsang laeh. Judah khopuei rhoek taengah, “Nangmih kah Pathen la he,” ti nah.
9¶ O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah a tlungluen neh ha pawk tih a bantha loh anih ham a taemrhai pah coeng ke. A thapang khaw amah taengah, a thaphu khaw a mikhmuh ah om coeng ke.
10Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand , and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11Amah kah tuping aka dawn bangla a ban neh a luem sak. Tuca rhoek te a coi tih a rhang dongah a poem. Cacun khaw a khool bal.
11He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12A kutpha dongah tui aka loeng, vaan te khap at la aka khap tih diklai laipi khaw baelpuei dongah aka hluem, tlang neh som boeih khaw cooi dongah coilung pakhat neh aka thuek te unim?
12¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13BOEIPA kah mueihla aka noem tih a cilsuep neh anih aka ming sak hlang te unim?
13Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD , or being his counsellor hath taught him?
14Anih aka uen tih aka yakming sak khaw, tiktamnah caehlong neh anih aka cang tih mingnah longpuei neh aka cang, anih te lungcuei aka ming sak te unim te?
14With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15Namtom rhoek khaw tuiduen dongkah tuicip bangla, cooi dongkah khomong bangla a ngai uh ke ni. Sanglak boeih khaw khonuei bangla a yaal.
15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16Lebanon pataeng toih rhoeh pawt tih a mulhing hmueihhlutnah la rhoeh pawh.
16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17Namtom boeih khaw amah hmaikah pawt bangla a poei-oep lakah khaw amah rhangneh hinghong la ngai uh.
17All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18Te dongah Pathen te u taengah nim na lutlat sak vetih amah te mebang nen nim phek na tluk sak uh eh?
18¶ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
19Mueithuk te kutthai loh a hloe tih sui aka dung loh sui neh a nulh thil. Cak rhui nen khaw a cam.
19The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20Tangkik tanglai loh khocang la thing aka keet pawt te a coelh. Aka tuen pawh mueithuk aka saek ham te kutthai hlangcueih a tlap.
20He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21Na ming uh pawt nim? Na ya uh pawt nim? A lu lamloh nangmih taengah thui pawt nim? Diklai kah a yung na yakming uh pawt nim?
21Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22Diklai kueluek soah aka ngol tih tangku bangla kho aka sa, vaan te tihil bangla aka cuet, khosa ham dap bangla aka yaai pah la om.
22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23Boeica rhoek te a hong taengla aka pae neh diklai kah laitloek rhoek te hinghong la a khueh.
23That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24A phung uh pawt tih a soem uh pawt hmanah a ngo khaw diklai ah saicin bal pawh. Te dongah amih te phawn a hmuh vaengah tah koh pahoi tih hlipuei loh divawt bangla a khuen.
24Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25Te dongah kai naka puet tihA Cim neh ka vanat aka ti te unim?
25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26Na mik te a sang la dangrhoek lamtah so uh lah. He he aka suen khaw unim? A caempuei a tarhing ah a thoeng sak tih amih te a ming neh boeih a khue. A thahuem khaw cang kahlak tih thadueng neh a om rhapsat coeng dongah hlang pakhat pataeng a hmaai moenih.
26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things , that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
27Balae tih Jakob nang na cal. Israel sawt long khaw, “Ka longpuei he BOEIPA taeng lamloh thuh uh coeng, ka tiktamnah he ka Pathen loh a poe coeng,” na ti rhailai.
27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD , and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28Na ming het pawt nim? Khosuen Pathen Yahovah na ya noek pawt nim? Diklai bawt aka suen te tawnba pawt tih a kohnue moenih. A lungcuei te khenah om mahpawh.
28¶ Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD , the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29Lamlum te thadueng a paek tih thahuem aka khueh pawt te thaomnah a rhoeng sak.
29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30Camoe rhoek te tawnba uh tih kohnue uh. Tongpang rhoek khaw a paloe lam ni a paloe uh.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31Tedae BOEIPA aka lamtawn rhoek tah a thadueng sai vetih atha bangla a phae neh luei ni. Yong uh cakhaw kohnue uh mahpawh. Cet thikthuek cakhaw tawnba uh mahpawh,” a ti.
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
