Isaiah 46
1 Babylon te pathen ho- Bel le Nebo, chu tol lama abungin akun lhonne. Ama ni hi bong kang’a poh thethun atol manguvin ahi. Pohpo gancha teni chun poh lel jeh’in alon pi le len ahi.
Bel is bowed down, Nebo sinketh, their idols are [delivered] unto the beasts, and unto the cattle; those which were once carried by you are now laden up a burden to the weary beasts.
2 Lim semthu teni le anei hou chu akun lhasuh un ahi. A pathen hou chun amite aveng bit jou pon, chule ami teuvin a pathen’u aveng bit jou pouve. Abonchauvin, sohchang dingin apui mang tha’uvin ahi.
They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Jacob chilhah hon kasei hi ngaijun lang, Israel sunga amoh them jouse, Keiman nangho napen’uva patna ka gelkhoh’u nahiu ahitai. Henga, napen masang peh’uva kavop na hiu ahitai.
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne [by me] from their birth, who are carried from the womb;
4 Na hinkhou lhung keija Keima na Pathen’u kahi ding ahi- Na kum’u ahung tah jeh’a nasam kan gei ja jong, Kasem nahiuvin, nangho kagelkhoh jing ding nahiuve. Keiman kapui leuva chule kahuhdoh ding nahiuve.
And even unto old age I am the same; and even unto the time of hoary hairs will I bear: l have done it, and I will carry [you]; even I will bear, and deliver you.
5 Keima hi koito nei tekah dingu hitam? Koi ham ka kibahpi chu?
To whom will ye liken and assimilate me, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 Mi phabep ho chun adangka hou le asana ho’u chu ajunsah un chule chua kona lim semthu pathen sem dingin mi aki thalah’un ahi. Ama ho chu milim anga chun akunuvin chuin hichu ahou’uvin ahi.
[There are those] that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; that hire a melter, that he may make of it a god; they [then] bend the knee, yea, they bow themselves down;
7 Ama hon alenguva apo le leuvin, chule ama hon akoilhah tenguleh, chua chun aum denin, achat loh theipoi. Akoma ga taova jong adonbut theipon, koima jong hahsatna’a ahuhdoh theipoi.
They carry him, upon the shoulder they bear him, and set up him in his spot, and he remaineth standing, from his place he doth not move: yea, though one should cry unto him, he cannot answer, out of his trouble he cannot help him.
8 Hiche hi sumil hih in! Lunga chingin! Themona neihon hiche hi geldoh’un.
Remember this, and take courage: take it again to heart, O ye transgressors.
9 Phatchesa’a kathilboldoh ho geldoh in. Ajeh iham itileh Keima bou Pathen kahi! Keima Pathen Kahin, chule kei tobang koima aumpoi.
Remember the former things of olden times; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is nothing like me.
10 Keiman khonung thu ahung lhung ding, aguilhun masanga kahil thei nahiuve. Kagonsa, kagel chan chu bol jia kahi jeh in, hung gui lhung tei ding ahije.
Declaring from the beginning the end, and from the earliest days the things that have not yet been done, saying, My counsel shall stand firm, and all my pleasure will I do:
11 Keiman Solam gam'a kona vacha leng gang tah ne hattah chu kakouva- gamla tah gam'a konna lamkai khat hungin tin chule katepna banga abol ding ahi. Keiman kabol ding ahi kanati chu, Kabol tei ding ahi.
Calling from the east the eagle, from a far-off country the man of my counsel; yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also execute it.
12 Mi louchal ho, thilpha bolna dinga gamla tah’a umho, kasei ngaijuvin.
Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness:
13 Ajeh iham itileh thil ijakai adih bolna dinga kigosa um kahi, agamla tah ding hijo louvin, tu tua ding kasei ahi. Keiman Jerusalem kahuhdoh nomin, chule Israel henga kaloupina kavet sah ding ahi.
I have brought near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.
