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 saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art 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 thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
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 the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba for thee.
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 thou hast been precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Kichahih in, ajeh chu Keiman kaum pinai. Keiman nangma le nachilhah ho chu solam le lhum lama kona kachop khom ding nahiuve.
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee 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 say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends 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.
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; verily, I have made him.
8 Mit neija ahia kho mulou, bilkol neija khojalou ho chu mipi lah’a konin hinpuidoh un.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that 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 people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
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.
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 Kei, Keima tah hi, Pakai chu Kahi, chule Huhhingpu dang aumpoi.
I, even I, am the LORD; and besides me there is no saviour.
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, and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that 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.
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall 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 saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 Keima Pakai, nangho Athengpa Khat, Israel sempa le Lengpa chu kahi.
I am the LORD, 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 saith the LORD, who maketh 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 bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick.
18 Hijongleh hiho jouse chu sumil jengun- Keiman kahinbol ding hitoh imacha dang atepithei ding aumpoi.
Remember ye not the former things, neither 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.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye 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 beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters 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.
This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22 Hinla Jacob insung mi deitahte, nanghon kapanpi dingin nanom hih laijuve. Vo Israel, nanghon keima neichim chah lheh jenguve!
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O 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.
Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
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.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy 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 that blotteth out thy transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26 Athil umdol velvet khom kitnu hitin, chule nathemo louna thudol nakisei thei ding ahi.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Atil laipeh’a kipatna napu napate ho’uvin keidouna’a anachonseuvin, nalamkai ho jouseuvin kadan thu apalkeh tauve.
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy 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 have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
