Isaiah 26
1 Hiche nikho teng leh Judah gamsung cheng mijousen hiche la hi asah diu ahi: Ka khopiu hi dettah ahi! Pathen mi huhhingna banghon eium kim velun ahi.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation doth he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Michonpha hodin kotpi hon peh un; tahsan umtah ho chu lut sah un.
Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in.
3 Nangma tahsan ho jouse, lungmong sel'a nakoiding ahin, alunggel jouse nachunga koidet ho chu.
Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed [on thee], for he confideth in thee.
4 Pakai chu tahsan jing jengun, ajehchu Pakai Pathen chu tonsot songpi ahi.
Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.
5 Mi kiletsah ho chu asunem jin, khopi kiletsah chu asu lhujin, leivui asojin ahi.
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 Mivaicha leh suh genthei a umhon akengtou vin achot phaovin, genthei vaichaho achunga avah leu vin ahi.
The foot shall tread it down, — the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.
7 Ahin, michonpha hodin lampi chu aken pon, ajot hahpoije. Thildih jengbol Pathen chu nahin, amalam u lampi nam pet in nalhai.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.
8 Pakai, na danthu ho kanit uhin katahsan nao aphongdoh in, namin loupi ding hi kalung ngaichat pennu ahi.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.
9 Jan khovah in nangma kaholjin; jingkah teng gunchu tah in Pathen kahol ji. Ajehchu leiset thutanna nahung teng lebou, miten adih chu ahet diu ahi.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Migiloute nangai lut nan thilpha aboldoh deh pouve. Midangin thilpha abol vang'in, migilouten thildih lou abol jingu vin, Pakai loupina chu hetphah in aneipouve.
If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.
11 Aw Pakai na khuttum dopsang eman agel pou ve. Na mite na huhdoh nomdan chu musah in, chuteng amaho chu jachatna dimdiu ahitai. Na meikong chun nagalmi ho sumang jeng hen
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: [yet] they shall see [thy] jealousy [for] the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.
12 Pakai chamna neipeh diu ahi; kabol ka suh bulhit jouseu hi nang jal'a bou ahi.
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
13 Aw Pakai ka Pathen u, midang hon kachung uva vai ahin hom uve, ahin nangma bou nahi keima hon ka hou uchu.
Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 Kana jen leuho chu athiuvin, aum gam tapouve. A lhagao dalhah hou hung kile talou hel ding ahi! Nangman nasat nin, na sumang gamtai. Amaho chu sottahpi gelphah louvin aumtauve.
[They are] dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.
15 Aw Pakai, kanam u nei semlet peh taove; lentah nei so tao vin ahi. Ka gamgi hou jong nei kehlet peh un, loupina nangma kahin peuvin ahi!
Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
16 Pakai, lung genthei in nangma kana hol ui. Na thunun pohgihna nanoija kahungtao uve.
Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Numei naovop in nao anei na'a na asah a, apenchoi choi banga, Pakai, na umna'a kaum tenguleh kachuti jiu ve.
As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
18 Keiho jong lungna in kijel chot chot in ka umun, ahin kagenthei thoh ujong mohseh ahi. Leiset adin huhhingna kape thei pouve, hinna jong vannoi a kapolut thei pouvin ahi.
We have been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Ahin Pakai a thiho chu hung hing diu, atahsau hung thoudoh kit ding ahi! Leiset a imu hochu hungthoudoh diu chuleh kipa jal'a la asah diu ahi. Ajeh chu na hinna-vah kipa chu jingkah daitwi alhah banga namite thi umna munna hunglha ding ahi.
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing in triumph, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is the dew of the morning, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 In na cheuvin, kamite, na kot hou kam tup un! Chomkhat adin kisel mangun, Pakai lunghanna akichai masang sen.
Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself just for a little moment, until the indignation be past.
21 Ven! Leiset mite a chonset jeh un, gotna pedin Pakai chu van'a konin ahungin ahi. Leiset in akithat ho asel jou tah lou ding, mijouse mudinga hung kipuidoh diu ahi.
For behold, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
