Isaiah 59
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear;
1Khang hamla BOEIPA kut loh ngun pawt tih a yaak ham a hna a bing moenih.
2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.
2Tedae nangmih kathaesainah he tuiphih rhaboe la nangmih laklo neh na Pathen laklo ah om. A yaak ham akhaw nangmih kah tholhnah kongah ni nangmih taeng lamkah maelhmai a thuh.
3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.
3Na kut ah thii neh, na kutdawn te thaesainah neh nok uh. Na hmuilai loh a honghi a thui tih na ol te dumlai la muep.
4None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth; they trust in vanity, and speak lies, they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
4Duengnah neh aka khue pawt tih uepomnah neh lai aka tloek pawt tah, hinghong dongah pangtung tih a poeyoek la cal. Thakthaenah a yom tih boethae a cun.
5They hatch basilisks' eggs, and weave the spider's web; he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
5Rhulthae duei te a khaeh uh tih bumba rhui a yen uh. A duei aka ca tah duek. A hep vaengah rhulthae la khae.
6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall men cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
6Amih kah rhui te himbai la poeh hae pawt tih amamih kah bibi nen khaw khuk uh tloel. Amih kah khoboe khaw boethae kah khoboe ni. A kut dongkah bisai khaw kuthlahnah ni.
7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, desolation and destruction are in their paths.
7A kho te boethae taengla yong paitok tih ommongsitoe kah thii kingling ham tokthuet uh. Amih kopoek he boethae kah kopoek neh rhoelrhanah ni. Amih kah longpuei ah pocinah om.
8The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their goings; they have made them crooked paths, whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.
8Rhoepnah longpuei te ming uh pawt tih a namtlak ah tiktamnah om pawh. A hawn te amamih taengla a kawn sak uh tih a sokah aka pah boeih loh rhoepnah ming voel pawh.
9Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us; we look for light, but behold darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
9Te dongah tiktamnah he mamih lamloh lakhla tih duengnah loh mamih ng'kae voel pawh. Vangnah te n'lamtawn uh dae hmuep coeng ke. Khosaeng yueng la khohmuep ah m'pongpa uh.
10We grope for the wall like the blind, yea, as they that have no eyes do we grope; we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; we are in dark places like the dead.
10Mikdael bangla pangbueng m'phatuem uh tih mik aka mueh bangla m'phatuem uh. Khothun ah khaw hlaemhmah bangla, thaom thathueng lakli ah hlang duek bangla m'paloe uh.
11We all growl like bears, and mourn sore like doves; we look for right, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
11Mamih he vom bangla boeih n'kawk uh tih vahui bangla n'tuk la n'tuk uh. Tiktamnah te n'lamtawn dae om voel pawt tih khangnah khaw mamih lamloh hla coeng.
12For our transgressions are multiplied before Thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are present to us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
12Kaimih kah boekoek he na hmaiah pung tih kaimih kah tholhnah tah kamamih taengah phoe coeng. Mamih kah boekoek he mamih taengah om tih mamih kathaesainah te khaw m'ming uh.
13Transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and perverseness, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
13BOEIPA taengah boekoek neh basa tih mamih kah Pathen hnuk lamloh balkhong coeng. Hnaemtaeknah neh a cal phoeiah koeknah la vawn tih a lungbuei lamkah a honghi ol te a thuep.
14And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth hath stumbled in the broad place, and uprightness cannot enter.
14Tiktamnah loh a hnuk la balkhong coeng tih duengnah loh a hlahloei ah pai. Oltak khaw toltung ah paloe tih oldueng loh a kun ham coeng pawh.
15And truth is lacking, and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice;
15Oltak aka om te a hmaai tih boethae lamkah aka nong khaw a buem hnap. Tedae tiktamnah a tal te BOEIPA loh a hmuh vaengah a mik ah a lolh pah.
16And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him;
16Hlang a om pawt te a hmuh vaengah a doo pawt te khaw hal coeng. Tedae amah ham khaw amah bantha long ni a khang pah tih a duengnah long ni amah a talong.
17And He put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and a helmet of salvation upon His head, and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
17Duengnah te caempho la a bai tih, khangnah lumuek te a lu dongah a muek. Phulohnah himbai te hnicu la a bai tih thatlainah neh hnikul bangla khuk uh.
18According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; to the islands He will repay recompense.
18A khoboe bangla kosi te a rhal taengah, a thaphu te a thunkha taengah a thuung tangloeng ni. Sanglak rhoek taengah khaw a thaphu te a thuung ni.
19So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; for distress will come in like a flood, which the breath of the LORD driveth.
19BOEIPA ming te khotlak lamloh, a thangpomnah te khomik khocuk lamloh a rhih uh ni. Hlang aka va tuiva bangla ha pawk vaengah anih te BOEIPA mueihla loh a rhaelrham sak.
20And a redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
20Aka tlan kung loh Zion neh boekoek aka mael tak Jakob te a paan ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
21And as for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
21Kamah kah paipi he kamah long ni amih taengah ka khueh. BOEIPA loh, “Ka mueihla he nang soah, ka ol he na ka dongah ka khueh vetih na ka lamloh, na tiingan kah ka lamloh, na tiingan kah tiingan patoeng kah ka lamkah khaw nong mahpawh,” a ti. BOEIPA loh tahae lamkah neh kumhal ham ni a thui.
