Isaiah 57
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and godly men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
1Aka dueng te milh dae lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang a om moenih. A sitlohnah hlang rhoek a coi te yakming pawt cakhaw aka dueng tah yoethae hmai lamloh a coi.
2He entereth into peace, they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.
2Anih te ngaimong la a kun vaengah a thingkong dongah duem uh tih a langya la pongpa van.
3But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
3Tedae nangmih kutyaek aka so ca rhoek, samphaih neh cukhalh kah tiingan khaw pahoi ha moe.
4Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
4U taengah nim na pang na dok? U taengah nim ka na ang tih lai na hlo thil, boekoek camoe neh laithae kah cangti te nang moenih a?
5Ye that inflame yourselves among the terebinths, under every leafy tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
5Thingnu taeng neh thing hing hmui takuem kah aka haw, thaelvap thaelpang hmui kah soklong ah camoe aka ngawn rhoek aw.
6Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meal-offering. Should I pacify Myself for these things?
6Na hamsum tah soklong longhnal dongah om lah ko. Amah te ni nang kah hmulung rhoe pai. Te rhoek taengah tuisi na bueih tih khocang na nawn lalah ko ka hlawt het aya te?
7Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
7Tlang sang ah na thingkong te na phaih cakdawk van tih hmueih ngawn hamla na cet bal pueng.
8And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy symbol; for thou hast uncovered, and art gone up from Me, thou hast enlarged thy bed, and chosen thee of them whose bed thou lovedst, whose hand thou sawest.
8Thohkhaih hael neh rhungsut dongah namah poekkoepnah na khueh. Kai taeng lamkah phoeiah tah a tling la na van tih na thingkong te amih taengah a ah -oem la na khueh pah. A thingkong te na lungnah tih a kut te na hmuh pah.
9And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, even down to the nether-world.
9Manghai te situi neh na yiin. Na bova te na koei tih khohla la na laipai na tueih phoeiah saelkhui la na kunyun.
10Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not: 'There is no hope'; thou didst find a renewal of thy strength, therefore thou wast not affected.
10Na longpuei te puh tih na kohnue dae, 'vi uh coeng, 'ti boeh. Na kut dongkah hingnah na hmuh coeng dongah na kothae sak boeh.
11And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou wouldest fail? And as for Me, thou hast not remembered Me, nor laid it to thy heart. Have not I held My peace even of long time? Therefore thou fearest Me not.
11Unim na mawn thil tih na rhih. Na laithae dongah kai he nan poek pawt tih na lungbuei ah na khueh moenih. Kai nan rhih pawt khaw khosuen lamloh ka ngam dongah moenih a?
12I will declare thy righteousness; thy works also — they shall not profit thee.
12Na duengnah neh na khoboe te kamah loh kan yan vetih nang n'hoeikhang sak uh mahpawh.
13When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall bear them off; but he that taketh refuge in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.
13Na pang vaengah nang te n'huul uh saeh. Na coicip te khaw a pum la khohli loh a voeih a honghi a loh ni. Tedae kai dongah aka ying tah khohmuen a pang vetih ka tlang cim khaw a pang ni.
14And He will say: cast ye up, cast ye up, clear the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people.
14Te vaengah, “Picai uh, picai uh, longpuei te saelh uh. Ka pilnam longpuei kah hmuitoel te khoel uh.
15For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
15Aka pomsang uh tih aka cawkdawk, a yoeyah la kho aka sa tih hmuensang kah a ming cim neh aka cim loh, “Mueihla tlarhoel rhoek hing sak ham neh lungbuei aka paep rhoek hing sak hamla yutnah neh mueihla tlarhoel taengah khaw kho ka sak.
16For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made.
16Kumhal duela kang ho aih pawt vetih a yoeyah la ka thintoek aih mahpawh. Ka mikhmuh kah mueihla neh kamah loh ka saii hingnah hiil he khaw khobing lah ve.
17For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid Me and was wroth; and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
17Thaesainah neh a mueluemnah te ka thintoek tih anih ka ngawn. Ka thuh uh tih ka thintoek. A lungbuei kah a khosing neh hnukcol la cet.
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will lead him also, and requite with comforts him and his mourners.
18A khosing ka hmu cakhaw anih te a hoeih sak vetih amah te ka mawt ni. Rhahdoe cangpoem ah khaw anih te hloephoelhnah neh ka thuung ni.
19Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith the LORD that createth the fruit of the lips; and I will heal him.
19A lai thaih kah a thaih khaw, rhoepnah he khohla neh khoyoei kah rhoepnah la ka suen,” a ti. BOEIPA loh, “Anih ka hoeih sak ni,” a ti.
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
20Halang tah tuili bangla niknuk tih mong thai pawh. Te vaengah tui loh tuinu neh tangnong te pong a loe.
21There is no peace, saith my God concerning the wicked.
21Halang rhoek ham rhoepnah a om pawt te ka Pathen loh a thui.
