< Isaiah 45 >
1 Hiche hi Pakaiyin athaonupa, akhut jet lama thaneina pea chun Cyprus jah’a asei ahi. Ama masanga chu leng hat tah ho jong chu kichatna thangoi jeng diu, akulpi’u kelkotpi jong chu kihonglha ding, kikhah kit talou hel ding ahitai.
Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 Hiche hi Pakiyin thusei, “Cyrus, nangma masanga keima cheng ting, lhangsang ho chu kasuhcham ding ahi. Keiman Sum’enga kisem kelkotpi jong chu kasuhchip’a, chule thih jol ho jong katanboh pai ding ahi.
I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 Chule keiman athim laiya guhthim gou kikhol ho chu kapeh ding nahi. Hiche kabol ding hi nangman keima Pakai, Israel Pathen, nakoupa chu kahi tihi nahetdohna ding ahi.
And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 Chule hiche tong dinga hi keiman nangma ipi jeh’a kakou hija? Keima eina helou hella ipi jeh’a namina kakou nahi ham? Hiche hi kalhacha Jacob ka khohsah’a, ka lhendoh Israel jeh jal ahi.
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 Keima Pakai chu kahin, Kei tailou Pathen adang aumpoi. Nangman neihet louhel jeng vang'in, Keiman galsatna’a dinga kagon tup chet nahi.
I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 Hijeh’a hi vannoi pumpi, so lama kona lhum lam geija mihon Pathen dang aumpoi, keima Pakai kahin, adang aum lou ahet doh dingu ahi.
So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 Keiman vah kasema, muthim jong kakoi ahi. Keiman phat phatpet le phat setpet kakoi ahi. Keima hi Pakai hiche ho jouse bolldoh’a chu kahi.
I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 Vo Vanho, kihongdoh’uvin, chule na chonphat nau chu hin bung lhauvin. Leiset hung kikeh len hen, chuteng huhhingna le chonphatna hung kilangdoh khomu diu ahi, keima Pakaiyin kasem ahiuve.
Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 Asempa to kinel ngam hon itobang lung hemna ahin todiu hitam? Lei ngan’a kisem bel chun beldengpa chu akinelpi thei ngai jem? Lei nganin ameh nempa jah’a, kingah jengin, nabol khel tai tia asei ngai jem? Bel chun navet kilomo tave, tia aseidi ham?
Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 Chapang hung peng til chun apa jah’a, ‘Ipi jeh’a anapeng kahim?’Ahilouleh anu koma chu, ‘ipi dinga hitia hi neisem ham?’ati ngai jem?
Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 Hiche hi Pakai, Israel Athengpa le na Sempa’n asei jin, “Kachate dinga kathilbol nadoh’a? Ka khut na ka thilbol’ho hi nangma thupeh jal ham?
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 Keima leiset sempa le asunga chenga mihemte hin sema chu kahi. Ka khut tah’a van thanjol kahin jahdoh ahi. Asunga umho (ahsiho)jouse hi ka thupeh’a kon ahiuve.
I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 Keiman chonphatna lunggon kanei subulhit dinga Cyrus katildoh’a, chule abol dingho kahil ding ahi. Ama’n tohman muding lung gellouva khopi asahdoh kit ding chule ka mite sohchang ho alhadoh ding ahi, tia Keima, Vana Galmi janel Pakai chun ka phondohsa ahitai.
I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseiye: “Nangman Aigupta mite, Ethiopia mite le Sabea mite chunga vai nahom ding ahi. Amaho chu akivei nau thil puma nahenga hung dingu, chule anei hou chu aboncha nanga ding ahije. Amaho chu thih khaova nahena soh’a na kalai ding, na masanga hung dilsu’uva: ‘Pathen’in na’umpi, Ama bou hi Pathen khatseh chu ahin, Pathen adang aumpoi’ tia ahin sei dingu ahi.
Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 Tahbeh mongin, ei-Huhhingpa’u, Vo Israel Pathen, nangman kidangtah’in na natonge.
Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 Akhut them’a milim sema pangho chu kijumso ding ahiuve. Amaho abonuva lungsetna changlou diu ahi.
They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 Hinla Pakaiyin ami Israelte chu, tonsot ahuhhingna’a ahuhdoh ding ahi. Tonsot khanglhun keija amaho hi Avella kijumso talouhel dingu chule atomo tah lou hel dingu ahi.
Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 Ajeh iham itileh Pathen hi phatah ahi, chule vanho le leiset hi asemin chule ijakai ama muncheh’a akoi ahi. Aman vannoi hi chenna dingin asemin, agoh’a koiden agot ahipoi, Keima Pakai chu kahije ati.
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Keiman jalhanga thutep hi ngamtah’a kaphondoh ahin, Keiman munthim ningkoi khatna aguh’a aw’thol’a thusei kahipoi. Keima hi eikimudoh joulou ding hitaleh, keiman Israel techu keima eihol dinguva jong kaseipeh lou ding ahi. Keima Pakaiyin thutah bou kaseija chule adih bou chu kaphondoh ahije.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 Hung unlang chule hung kikhomun, kol kimvella um chitin-nam tinte. Itobang loma ngol hiuva thinga lim asemuva chule ahuhhing thei lou dingu pathen ati hou henga tao hiu vem!
Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 Kihou toh unlang, nachung chang thu’u kiseilhah un. Kikhom khom’unlang ipi sei nom naneiju gel lhauvin. Hicheho hetna dinga hitih chanpihi kon ahetsah hija hitam? Limsem thu hoipenin ahung lhung dingho chu naseipeh khah mongu vem? Keima Pakai sei hilou ham? Ajeh chu Keima tilou Pathen achonpha’a le huhhingpu adang aumpoi. Kei tilou adang koima aumpoi.
Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 Vannoi mite jousen huhhingna dingin eihin veu hen! Ajeh iham itileh keima Pathen kahi, koima dang aum dehpoi.
All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 Keima kamin panna kihahsel’a kahi. Keiman thutah ka seidoh ahitai, Keima ka thuseija nungtol kit ding ka hitapoi: Khup jouse kahenga hung dilsu dingu chule lei jousen Keima eiphondoh ding ahiuve.
I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
24 Miho chun, “Pakai hi kei dinga ka chonphatna le ka thahatna ahi” tia aphondoh dingu ahi. Chule amatoh kinaho chu akoma hunguva jacha ding ahiuve.
Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
25 Pakaiya Israel chu akhang khanga themchang ding ahiuve, chule Ama’a kisong ding ahiuve.
In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
