Isaiah 1
1 Amoz chapa Isaiah-in Juda lengho Uziah, Jotham, Ahaz leh Hezekiah phat laiya Judah le Jerusalem chungchang gaova thil amuho:
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Vanho ngaiyun! leisetnin phaten ngaiyun! Pakaiyin asei chu hiche hi ahi: “Kahin vahkhang leh kahin seiletsah chaten kachungah nachonseuvin neidou tauve.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for Yhwh hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Bongchal jengin jong apupa akihetnin, chule Sanganin jong apu’n apehna kong akihetnin, ahinlah kamiten vang amaho kahin vahkhang dan ahephapouvin, Israelin apupa akihettapoi.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ohe themmona dimsette chonse nam mite, gitlouna thilbol chilhahho; themmona dimset mite, hiche mite hin a-Pakaiyu adalhatauvin, Israel Mithengpa chu donselouvin akoiyun ajamsan tauve.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken Yhwh, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Ipi dinga gimbolna ding nakikou bebeu hitam? Itih chan gei neidou nahlai diu ham? naluchang apumin anatan, nalungchang jong ana’n ahi.
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Nakengtoa pat nalujang chan adam lai mong mong aumtapon, akita-dupna jeng, apat lai jeng chule athi lonna maha jeng ahi’n, anaikolin, tom jong akitompon, thao jong akinupoi.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Nagamsungu jong ahomkeovin alumtan, nakhopiu jong akavamtai. Namitmu tah'un gamdang miten nagam’u alosohtan, thil jouse amitmuva amu jouseu asusetauve.
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Jerusalem khopi hoitah chu lengpi leiya buh kisong tobang leh changmai leiya buh kisong bangin, akidalhan avengbit ding umlou khopi abangtai.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Pakai van-khopi sepaihon eiho themkhat jeng jong eivenbitlouvu hileh Sodom le Gomorrah tobanga thehngima ium diu ahi.
Except Yhwh of Armies had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Sodom khoa vaihom lamkaihon Pakai thusei ngaiyun lang, Gomorrah miten Pathen dan thupeh ngaiyun.
Hear the word of Yhwh, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 Pakaiyin aseiye: “Nakilhainau jouseu hi ka-ipi phatchomna umdinga nagelluham? Keiman kelngoichal pumgo thilto le gancha kivah thaotahtah jong kaneiye. Keiman bongchal tampi thisan leh kelngoi thisan chule kelcha thisan hijongleh kakipapipoi.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Yhwh: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 Keima eihou dinga nahung tenguleh koiham nakithoinau puma ka-inpi chonthang dinga nakouvu?
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Pannabei thiltoho chu hinpolut tahih-un, nagimnamtuiyu jong keima dinga thet-umtah ahi! Lhathah nikho, Sabbath nikho chuleh achombeha na-anngol nikho manhou chonset bulom leh adihlou ahi. Nakikhopkhomnau jong kadeitapoi.
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Nalhathah kut bolhou, kumlhun golnop nabolhou jong keidinga pohgih bep ahin, abonchan kapochimtan, kakidah ahitai!
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 Vanlam sanga nakhut-u natundohuva natao tengu jongleh kahungvetnuva nataonau kangailhahpehlou ding ahi. Ajeh chu khohelouho thisan nakhutnuvah adimsetne.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Nangho kisilngimuvin lang chule kisuthengun! Nachonset nau chu kamitmun paimangun, nachonset nau lampi chu dalhauvin,
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Thilphabol dan kithemchuh-un, thudih chu holun. Bolgentheina thoh ho chu panpiuvin, naochagaho chu thu adih-in tanpeh-uvin lang, vengphauvin. Meithaiho chu thildih jeng seipeh-un.”
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, “Hungun kihoutoh-u hite. Nachonset nau chu thisan bangin san jongleh buhbang banga kabansah ding, sandup jeju jongleh kelngoi mul jolsel tobanga kajolsah ding ahi.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith Yhwh: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Kathupeh nanit-uleh nanghon nehlechah ninglhingset’na nanei diu ahi.
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 Ahinlah kathupeh nanitlou-uva nakiheimangsanule namelmateu chemjama lousoh helding nahiuve, tia na-Pakaiyu keiman kaseipeh nahitauve!”
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Yhwh hath spoken it.
21 I-atileh Jerusalem khopi kitahtah chu notia pang jenga hitam? Thu adih-a kitanna khopia chun tuhin tolthana jengin aumtai.
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Nadangka thih chu twieh asohgamtan, nalengpi twi chihtah chu twi toh akichohhal gamtai.
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Namilen milalteu jong doumahmah bolin apangun, gucha michomho jol le golin apang tauve. Nehguh chahguh adelleleuvin, nulou palouho thule meithaiho thujong adih-in atanpeh nom tapouve.
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Hijehchun Pakai, vantil galsatte Pakai Hatchungnung, Israel Pakai chun aseiye, “Keiman kamelmate chunga phuba kalah ding ahi.
Therefore saith the Lord, Yhwh of Armies, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 Nachunga kakhut kalha ding, nathih-eh thengsella kathehngima nasum kilhajol chengse kaloikhensohkei ding ahi.
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 Chutengleh thutan vaihomthemho masang banga kahinpeh kit ding, Jerusalem khopi chu Thudih-a Kivaihomna Khopi chule Khopi Kitah tia kisei kit ding ahitai,” ati.
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion chu thudih-a akitan teng kiledoh kit ding chule akisihho chu chonphatnaa kiledoh kit diu ahitai.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Michonseho vang suhmanga umding ahiuve, ijeh-inem itileh amaho Pakai hengah akile nompouve.
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake Yhwh shall be consumed.
29 Namilim hounau leh aguh-a gangpithing noi laha nachonnau leh milim houna'a nakipehdohnau jeh'a jumleja nathoh diu ahi.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 Anagopsa gangpi phung nabah diu, chule twilutlouna honlei toh nabah diu ahi.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 Nalahuva ahatpenpa jong chu changpol tobanga mangthah ding; athilbol dihlouhou chu meisipah mei chohkaiya pang ding, amaho le athildihlou bolhou chu meikong lah-a kachaiyintin, chuleh meikong chu aphelmit thei ding koima umponte.
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
