1Sanglak rhoek loh kamah taengkah he hnatun uh saeh lamtah khohla lamkah namtu rhoek loh hnatung uh saeh. BOEIPA loh kai he bungko khuiah ng'khue coeng tih a nu bung khuiah ni ka ming a sum coeng.
1Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.
2Ka ka he cunghang haat bangla a khueh tih a kut dongkah hlipkhup ah kai n'thuh. Kai he thaltang la n'khueh tih amah kah liva dongah a meet tangtae la kai n'thuh.
2He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.
3Kai taengah tah, “Kamah kah sal tah Israel nang, namah dongah ni ka ko ka hang eh.
3He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
4Tedae kai loh a poeyoek la ka ti coeng. A hinghong la ka kohnue tih ka thadueng khaw a honghi coeng. Ka tiktamnah he BOEIPA taengah, ka thaphu te ka Pathen taengah ka bawt.
4But I said, “I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God.”
5Bungko khui lamloh amah kah sal la kai aka hlinsai BOEIPA loh Jakob te amah taengla mael sak ham neh Israel te amah taengla coi ham te a thui coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka thangpom uh tih ka Pathen tah ka sarhi la om.
5Now the LORD, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honorable in the LORD’s eyes, and my God has become my strength.
6Jakob koca te thoh ham neh Israel a kueinah tih mael puei ham khaw kamah kah sal la na om te rhaemaih. Nang tah diklai khobawt duela kamah kah khangnah a om sak ham neh namtom rhoek kah vangnah la kang khueh ni,” a ti.
6Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
7Israel aka tlan tih anih kah a cim Yahovah loh hinglu kah a hnaep taengah, namtom kah a tuei taengah, aka taemrhai rhoek kah sal taengah, “Manghai rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah mangpa rhoek khaw thoo uh vetih a bawk uh bitni. Israel kah a cim BOEIPA tah a uepom dongah ni nang n'coelh.
7The LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
8BOEIPA loh, “Kolonah tue vaengah nang kan doo tih khangnah khohnin ah nang kan bom. Nang te kang kueinah vetih aka pong tangtae khohmuen aka thoh ham neh rho aka pang pilnam patai la nang te kang khueh ni.
8The LORD says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time. I have helped you in a day of salvation. I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,
9Amih hmaisuep ah a khih rhoek te, 'Ha pawk uh lamtah ha mop uh,’ ti nah. Longpuei ah luem uh vetih caphoei cuk boeih te amih kah rhamtlim la poeh ni.
9saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
10Lamlum uh pawt vetih halthi uh mahpawh. Amih te unghae neh khomik loh do mahpawh. Amih aka haidam loh amih te a hmaithawn vetih tuisih tui taengla a khool ni.
10They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them, for he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.
11Kamah kah tlang boeih te long la ka khueh vetih ka longpuei te ka pomsang ni.
11I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be exalted.
12Khohla lamkah rhoek te ha pawk uh ni ke. Tlangpuei lamkah rhoek neh tuitun lamkah ke khaw, Sinim kho lamkah rhoek khaw.
12Behold, these shall come from afar, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.”
13Vaan rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah diklai khaw omngaih saeh. Tlang rhoek khaw tamlung neh rhong la rhong uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a hloep tih mangdaeng rhoek te a haidam coeng.
13Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth! Break out into singing, mountains! For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14Zion loh, “Yahovah loh kai n'hnoo tih ka Boeipa loh kai n'hnilh coeng,” a ti.
14But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”
15Huta loh a ca cahni te a hnilh a? A bungko khuikah a ca te a haidam ta. Te rhoek loh hnilh uh mai cakhaw kai long he nang kan hnilh mahpawh.
15“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!
16Kutpha dongah nang kan tarhit coeng tih na vongtung khaw kamah hmaiah om yoeyah coeng he.
16Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are continually before me.
17Na ca rhoek loh namah n'koengloeng uh paitok tih namah lamkah aka thoeng rhoek loh nang n'khah uh.
17Your children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you.
18Na mik te huel kilkoel lamtah hmu van lah. Amih te boeih coi uh thae tih nang taengla ha pawk uh coeng. Kai, hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih boeih te kamrhui bangla na vah vetih na langa bangla na hlaengtang ni.
18Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says the LORD, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
19Namah kah imrhong neh na ponah kho na pong sak. Khosa taeng lamloh n'daengdaeh pawn vetih nang aka yoop rhoek khaw lakhla uh bitni.
19“For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20Nang hlangmoeng ca rhoek na hna khuiah, “Kai ham a hmuen caek coeng tih kamah ham han thoeih lamtah kho ka sa eh?,” a ti uh ni.
20The children of your bereavement will say in your ears, ‘This place is too small for me. Give me a place to live in.’
21Te vaengah na thinko nen tah, “Kai aka cun te unim? Kai dueidah laemhong neh pumhong he a hliphen tih n'rhoe sut. Te dongah te rhoek aka puel sak te unim? Kai kamah bueng ka sueng vaengah melae amih eh?,” na ti ni.
21Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children and am alone, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought these up? Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”
22Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Namtom taengah ka kut ka thueng vetih pilnam hamla ka rholik ka thoh pah ni. Te vaengah tah na ca rhoek te poehla neh ham pawk puei uh vetih na tanu rhoek te laengpang dongah a poeh uh ni.
22The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and lift up my banner to the peoples. They shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23Manghai rhoek te nang aka kaem la, a boeinu rhoek khaw nang aka khut la om uh ni. Nang taengah a talung neh diklai la bakop uh vetih na kho dongkah laipi a laem uh ni. Te vaengah kai Yahovah neh kai aka lamtawn rhoek loh yah a poh pawt te na ming uh ni.
23Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me won’t be disappointed.”
24Hlangrhalh kah hnorhawt te a loh vetih aka dueng kah tamna te a loeih khaming a?
24Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?
25Tedae BOEIPA loh, “Hlangrhalh tamna khaw a loh pah vetih hlanghaeng a dang khaw a khong pah ni. Na lungawn taengah kai loh kang rhoe vetih na ca rhoek te kamah loh ka khang ni.
25But the LORD says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.
26Nang aka vuelvaek rhoek te a saa ka cah vetih a thii te thingtui bangla rhuihmil uh ni. Te vaengah pumsa boeih loh kai tah nang kah khangkung Yahovah neh nang aka tlan Jakob kah samrhang la a ming uh ni.
26I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine. Then all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
