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 will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.
2 Michonpha hodin kotpi hon peh un; tahsan umtah ho chu lut sah un.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
3 Nangma tahsan ho jouse, lungmong sel'a nakoiding ahin, alunggel jouse nachunga koidet ho chu.
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Pakai chu tahsan jing jengun, ajehchu Pakai Pathen chu tonsot songpi ahi.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength:
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, [even] 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, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.
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, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8 Pakai, na danthu ho kanit uhin katahsan nao aphongdoh in, namin loupi ding hi kalung ngaichat pennu ahi.
Yes, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will 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.
Let favor be shown to the wicked, [yet] he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
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
LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yes, the fire of thy enemies shall devour them.
12 Pakai chamna neipeh diu ahi; kabol ka suh bulhit jouseu hi nang jal'a bou ahi.
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
13 Aw Pakai ka Pathen u, midang hon kachung uva vai ahin hom uve, ahin nangma bou nahi keima hon ka hou uchu.
O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had dominion over us; [but] 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; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory 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, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far to all the ends of the earth.
16 Pakai, lung genthei in nangma kana hol ui. Na thunun pohgihna nanoija kahungtao uve.
LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a 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 the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
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 pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance on the earth; 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 [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out 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 thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation shall be overpast.
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, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
