< 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 saith the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may 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 thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder 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 thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I am the LORD, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
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 Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast 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 none else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though thou hast 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.
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me; I am the LORD; and there is none else;
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 darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth 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.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, that they may bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
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 unto him that striveth with his Maker, as a potsherd with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it: 'What makest thou?' Or: 'Thy work, it hath no 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 unto him that saith unto his father: 'Wherefore begettest thou?' Or to a woman: 'Wherefore travailest thou?'
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 saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask Me of the things that are to come; concerning My sons, and concerning the work of My hands, command ye Me.
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, even I, have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
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 roused him up in victory, and I make level all his ways; he shall build My city, and he shall let Mine exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD 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 saith the LORD: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee: Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, there is no other God.
15 Tahbeh mongin, ei-Huhhingpa’u, Vo Israel Pathen, nangman kidangtah’in na natonge.
Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Akhut them’a milim sema pangho chu kijumso ding ahiuve. Amaho abonuva lungsetna changlou diu ahi.
They shall be ashamed, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go in confusion together that are makers of idols.
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.
O Israel, that art saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
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 saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.
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 place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob: 'Seek ye Me in vain'; I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are 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 come, draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations; they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot 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.
Declare ye, and bring them near, yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this from ancient time, and declared it of old? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside Me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me.
22 Vannoi mite jousen huhhingna dingin eihin veu hen! Ajeh iham itileh keima Pathen kahi, koima dang aum dehpoi.
Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
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.
By Myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from My mouth in righteousness, and shall not come back, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
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.
Only in the LORD, shall one say of Me, is victory and strength; even to Him shall men come in confusion, all they that were incensed against Him.
25 Pakaiya Israel chu akhang khanga themchang ding ahiuve, chule Ama’a kisong ding ahiuve.
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
