Isaiah 42
1 Kalhachapa, keiman thahatna kapeh pachu veuvin. Ama kadeilhenpa eilung lhaipen’a chu ahi. Keiman Kalhagao asunga kakhumpeh tai. Aman chitin-namtin lah’a thu adih’a atan ding ahi.
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 Aman kho sampon tin, mipi lah’a jong aw sanga thu aseilou ding ahi.
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
3 Aman pumpeng chip jong ahebohpai lou ding chule khoilu thaomeipat akhulai jong asuhmit pai jeng lou ding ahi. Aman alamlouva kibol ho jong abonchauva chunga thu adih’a atan ding ahi.
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 Leiset pumpia thu adih’a vaihomna aum masang sea, Ama lhasam pontin, lung jong lunglha lou ding ahi. Gamla tah’a gamho twikhanglen gal lama hon jong ama thupeh anga diu ahi.
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
5 Pakai Pathen’in vanho asem’in chule apha jal lin ahi. Aman leiset le asunga umjouse asem’in ahi. Ama’n mi jouse haitheina hu ape’in, leiset chunga vahthei jouse hinna apeh ahi.
Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
6 Pakai kiti Keima, kachonphatna vetsah dinga kakou nahi. Keiman nangma kakhutna kapuija chule kahonbit nahin, chule kamite Israel te henga kapeh nahi hi keima toh amaho kakitepna vetsahna khat ahitai. Chule nangma chitin-namtin puihoi lea napan ding ahije.
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 Nangman mitcho ho kho namusah ding, sohchang ho songkulla konna nacham lhatsah ding chule songkul thim lah’a touho chamlhat sah ding nahi.
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 Keima Pakai kitipa chu Kamin ahi! Ka loupina chu koima dang kapehdoh lou ding, chule eivahchoi nau semthu milim ho chuto chan kaneitha lou ding ahi.
I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Gao thuseina kanei chasun aguilhung cheh in, chule tun keiman gao thu kasei kit ding ahi. Ahung guilhun masanga khonung thudol kaseipeh ding nahi.
The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
10 Pakaija lathah sauvin! Ama vahchoina ho leiset kolning lia chenghon sauvin! Twikhang len hoa kongtol ho le nangho twikol gam mun gam latah’a chengho geijin jong nabonchauvin la sauvin.
Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
11 Gamthipma um khopiho lachom kisahna’a jao’uvin; Kedar khoho jong kipah uhen. Sela mite hon kipah in la sauhen; lhangchung vum hoa konin vahchoina ho sap thouvin!
Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 Vannoi pumpin Pakai chu loupina peuhen; Avahchoina sauhen.
They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
13 Mihat chungnung tah tobang'in PAKAIchu kipandoh intin, galsatpa tobanga lunghang tah’a kondoh ding ahi. Aman galsatna dinga kholhang asapma, amelmate jouse achilgoi ding ahi.
The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 Ama’n, Keima sottahpi kathip beh anahita’n, ahinai, keima hi kana kikangse anahi. Hinla tua hi naosonat thoh minu khat tobanga kapenna chule kakhoisatna, chule ka-eo’jah jeng ding ahitai.
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
15 Keiman lhangsang ho le mol ho chu kasuhcham ding chule a’eng jin jen ho kasuhmangpeh ding ahi. Keiman vadung ho chu tolgolai kaso ding chule twi kiveina mun jouse chu kangsoh ding ahiuve.
I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
16 Keiman khomulou Israel chu lampi thah’a kapuile ding, ache khahlou nauva kapui le ding ahi. Keiman amasangu lampi thim jong kavahsah ding, chule amasangu lampi kanamsah ding ahi. Hitia hi keiman hichengse hi kabol ding, amaho kanungsun lou dingu ahi.
And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17 Hinla semthu milim tahsan ho, nangho ka pathenu nahi tiho chu, jacha’a kihei mang ding ahiuve.
They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18 Na’ngong hon ngaijun, mitcho nang hon veuvin, muchen’un.
Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19 Kamite, tobanga mitchoa kasoh, koi um’em? Ka sottol tobanga na ngonga koi umem? Kalhendoh mite, Pakai sohpa, tobanga mitcho koi um’em?
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20 Nangman adih chu ipi ham? ti namun chule nahedoh jengin, hinla hiche chu nabolnom hih in ahi. Na nabeng’a najanai, hinla jahchet ding nagopoi.
Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21 Pakai chu chondih tah ahijeh'in, Athu loupitah chu achoi’an tai.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22 Hinla Amite chu aneiyu achom’un chule asuhmang peh’un, asohchang un, songkul'a’a ahenun, chule thang kolla a’oh gam tauve.
But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23 Hiche thuhi koiyin thusim’a kona angaija, ahetdoh thei’ uva chule khonunga thil hung kisumang dingho nanga diu ham?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24 Israel chu chomgam dingle suhkhah dinga phatsah koi ham? Ama douna’a ichonset jeh’uva Pakai chun aphal jeh ahi. Ajeh chu miho chu Alamlhah a che nom hih’uva, A Danthu jong ajui nom lou jeh’u ahi.
Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
25 Hijeh’a hi Alunghanna chu achunguva abuhlhah’a, chule gal’a atha’u ahi. Amaho chu meilhum sunga akilelut jeng vanguvin, hetdoh ding agopouve. Amaho meikouva akihal jeng vang’un, chihnan aneideh pouve.
And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
