Isaiah 25
1 Aw Pakai namin kaja a kathangvah ding ahi ajehchu nangma hi ka Pathen nahi. Masang laipeh a nathilgon na sucham kimin ahi.
O Yahweh! my God, thou art, I will exalt thee, I will praise thy Name, For thou hast done a wonderful thing, —Purposes of long ago Faithfulness in truth.
2 Khopi hat tahtah ho ase abalin naselomin, khopi bang hattah ho jong songbong na sotan ahi. Leng inpi hoitah tah ho gamchom a umho na manthah sahtan, aitih a jong kile sahdoh joulou ding ahitai.
For thou hast made, of a citadel, a mound, of a defenced city, a ruin, —palaces for foreigners to be no city, To times age-abiding, shall it not be built.
3 Hijeh achu, gamsung hat tah hon naloupina aphon doh diu; lungsetna neilou chitin namtin in nagin ding ahi.
For this cause! shall glorify thee—a strong people, the city of tyrannous nations shall revere thee;
4 ahin, Aw Pakai, genthei ten kicholdona'a aneiyu insang chu nahin, vaicha gentheite adia akiselnao mun chu nahi. Huile go kitho na a kon hoidohna nahin, meisa banga satna a kon hoidoh na nahi. Ajehchu hui le go in nasatah a bangho anun khum banga hepina neilou ten mipi asuh genthei un ahi.
For thou didst become A refuge to the weak. A refuge to the needy, when distress was upon him, —A shelter from the storm. A shade from the heat, When the blast of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
5 Ahilou leh nelgam sat adailhah bang ding ahi. Gamchom ho gin lullul a aham u, na su thip tan ahi. Meibol lep in asat adailhah sah bangin, lungsetna neilou ten kiletsah tah a asah u jong athip hel tai.
As heat in a desert, the pomp of foreigners, wilt thou subdue, —Heat—with the shade of a cloud, The song of tyrants! become low.
6 Vannoi a mite jouse din, van janel Pakai chun Jerusalem'a ankong thupitah ahin luiding ahi. A tui a tui nehkhom na hiding ahin, lengpi twi kilhi thengsel leh sa hoi kilheng chil set hiding ahi.
Then will Yahweh of hosts prepare for all the peoples in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of old wines, —Of fat things full of marrow, Of old wines well refined;
7 Hilaija chu lungjinna alahdoh ding, leiset chunga thinan alekhum jong ahodoh ding ahi.
And he will swallow up in this mountain, The mask of the veil, the veil that is upon all the peoples, —And the web that is woven over all the nations.
8 Thina chu tonsot'a dinga vallhum ding ahitai! Thaneipen Pakai in mitlhi jouse a thehhul ding ahi. Agam le a mite jumna le jachatna a itih adinga alahdoh ding ahitai.
Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces, —And the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
9 Hiche nikho le chun mipi in ahin seiphong diu ahi, “Hiche hi ka Pathen u ahi! Katahsan un, ei huhhing taove! Hiche hi katahsan jingu Pakai chu ahi. Kipah thanom ute huhhingna ahin pohlut jal'in!”
So shall it be said, in that day, Lo! our God, is this! We waited for him, that he might save us, —This, is Yahweh! We waited for him, Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Ajehchu Pakai phatthei bohna khut chu Jerusalem a umding ahi. Ahin, Moab chu suhmang a hung umding ahi. Changpol kichot pha a, amonlha dinga kikoi tobang hiding ahi.
For the hand of Yahweh will settle down in this mountain, —Then shall Moab be trodden down in its place, Like the treading down of a strawheap in the water of a dunghill;
11 Tuijap hon tui akhutnu va asotlhah bangu va, Pathen in Moab mite asot lhah ding ahi. Akiletsah nao leh agitlounao natoh jouse a suhbei ding ahi.
Should he spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, As a swimmer spreadeth forth to swim, Then would be laid low his pride, together with the devices of his hands.
12 Moab bang sangtah ho phetlhah a umding ahi. Tol'a kikhailha a, vutvai kisosah ding ahi.
Yea, the lofty stronghold of thy walls, Hath he brought down—Laid low—Levelled to the ground even unto the dust.
