Isaiah 43

1 Hijongleh tun, Vo Jacob nasempa PAKAI sei ngaijin. Vo Israel, nagong dohpa chun aseije, “Kicha hih in, ajeh chu Keima’n nangma kachohdohsa nahitai. Keima’n namin’a kakou nahin; nangma keija nahi.

But now thus says Jehovah who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: "Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

2 Twithuh lah najot tengleh, Keiman kaumpi ding nahi. Hahsatna vadung najot tengleh, twija nalhahlut lou ding ahi. Kibolsetna meilah napal teng jongleh, meiyin nahalkhah lou ding; meiyin nakah louhel ding ahi.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not scorch you.

3 Ajeh iham itileh Keima Pakai, na Patehn kahi, Israelte mithengpa, na Huhhingpu chu kahi. Keiman Aigupta chu nacham lhatna dinga nakilhat dohna ding’a kapeh nahin; Nangma muna Ethiopia le Seba chu kapehdoh ahitai.

For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

4 Nangma keima dinga sahlut tah nahi jeh in, nangho khella midang chu kaphal doh a. nangma dinga ahin nau chu kapehdoh ahitai. Keima’n Kangailut nahi jeh’a nangma jabolna changa nahije.

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

5 Kichahih in, ajeh chu Keiman kaum pinai. Keiman nangma le nachilhah ho chu solam le lhum lama kona kachop khom ding nahiuve.

Do not be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.

6 Keiman sahlam le lhanglam jah’a, kachapate le kachanute chu leiset kolkim vella konin Israel’a hin puilutnin kati ding ahi.

I will tell the north, 'Give them up.' and tell the south, 'Do not hold them back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the farthest parts of the earth?

7 Keima a Pathenna einei jouse chu hin puijin, ajeh chu keiman amaho chu kaloupina dinga kasem ahi. Keima amaho sempa chu kahi.

everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.'"

8 Mit neija ahia kho mulou, bilkol neija khojalou ho chu mipi lah’a konin hinpuidoh un.

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

9 Chitin-namtin chu hinpui khomun! Vannoi mite chu hinkhom tup’uvin! Milim semthu anei’u chun hitobang hung lhung ding hi aseimasat khah em? Jinga ipi ahungso ding aseithei pen aumna diu vem? Hitobang thuseidoh hettohsah hoiya um uvem? Amaho chun thutah asei’u ahi tia aphotchetna pengam aumna dem?

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

10 Hinla nangma keima hettohsah a panga nahiuve, Vo Israel! Tin Pakaijin aseije. Nangma kalhacha nahi. Nangma hi keima eihechen dinga, eitahsan dinga, chule Keima bouhi Pathen kahi ti hetkhen themna neija nahi. Pathen dang aumpon-Itih’a jong ana um khalou, chule itih’a jong umkhalou ding ahi.

"You are my witnesses," says Jehovah, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.

11 Kei, Keima tah hi, Pakai chu Kahi, chule Huhhingpu dang aumpoi.

I, I am Jehovah; and besides me there is no savior.

12 Amasatah in huhdoh a naum diu thudol kaphon peh’uvin, chuphatnin kahuhdoh’un chule vannoiya kaseiphongin ahi. Koima cha gamdang pathenin hiche hi abol khapoi. Keima bou Pathen kahi hi nangho ahettohsah a panga nahiuve, tin PAKAIyin aseije.

I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says Jehovah, "and I am God.

13 Tonsotna pat tonsot geija Keima Pathen kahi. Koiman kakhutna kona koima alahdoh theilou dingu ahi. Katohdohsa chunga koima’n imalou sotheiponte.

Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?"

14 Hiche hi Na Huhhingpu, Israel Mitheng Khat kitipa Pakai chun asei ahije: “Nangho jal'a keiman Babylon douna’a galmi honkhat kasoldoh ding, Banylon miten” akithang atpiu akong innei houva chu jamdoh dingu ahi.

Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

15 Keima Pakai, nangho Athengpa Khat, Israel sempa le Lengpa chu kahi.

I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."

16 Keima Pakai twi lah’a lampi hin hongdohpa, twikhanglen’a tolgo hin umdohsahpa chu kahi.

Thus says Jehovah, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Keiman Aigupta galhat ho chu asakol ho’u le asakol kangtalaiho’u pumin kakoudoh in, keiman amaho chu twi kinong sunga kanolutnin, ahileh alha lhum tauve. Chule ahinkhou chu khoilu thaomei pat kihal kisumit jouva jemkai to abanguve.

who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):

18 Hijongleh hiho jouse chu sumil jengun- Keiman kahinbol ding hitoh imacha dang atepithei ding aumpoi.

"Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the things of old.

19 Ajeh chu keiman thilthah khat kabol ding ahi. Veuvin, kapantai! Muloulai nahiu vem? Gamthip laiya kenglampi kalhundoh ding ahi! Gamgo gam’a chu keiman vadung kahin lonsah ding ahi.

Look, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Do you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 Loujao hoa gamsa ho, si’al ho le sumbupi jeng hon jong gamthip gam'a twi kapeh jeh’uva eichoi’at dingu ahi. Hitia chu keiman gam gotna leimuna jong chu vadung ho kalonsah ding, hichun kalhendoh mite hung kidodoh tauvinte.

The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21 Keiman Israel chu keima’a dingin kakisemtai, chule amaho chun nikhat le vannoi pumpi masanga jabolna eipeh dingu ahi.

the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

22 Hinla Jacob insung mi deitahte, nanghon kapanpi dingin nanom hih laijuve. Vo Israel, nanghon keima neichim chah lheh jenguve!

Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

23 Nanghon kelngoi le kelcha hoa kilhaina pumgo thilto dingin neihin choipeh pouvin ahi. Lousoh ga thilto hoa chule bego-gim namtui thilto hoa kilhaina thiltoa ‘neija bol tapouvin, keiman nangho ahahsa pohgih pohsah louva chule nagimna diu ima ngeh lou hel kahi.

You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

24 Nanghon bego- gim namtui le kilhaina thilto thao ho neihin choipeh pon ahi. Chusangin nachonset poh gihho neipoh sah in chule nathemona houva neitha cholsah tauvin ahi.

You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 Kei, Keima bouvin, keima tah kahi jal'a bou nachonsetna ho kachul mangin chule hicho chu gelkit talou ding kahi.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

26 Athil umdol velvet khom kitnu hitin, chule nathemo louna thudol nakisei thei ding ahi.

Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.

27 Atil laipeh’a kipatna napu napate ho’uvin keidouna’a anachonseuvin, nalamkai ho jouseuvin kadan thu apalkeh tauve.

Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

28 Hijeh’a chu na thempu hou toh kakinopmo’uva chule Jacob dinga amahthahna hel kathu lhuh’a chule Israel dinga jachatna soh’a ahitai.

Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."
