Isaiah 48
1 Jacob insung mite, Israel mina kikouho le Judah insunga konna pengdoh ho kasei hi ngaijun. Pakai mina kihahsel’a, chule Israel Pathen kou hon ngaijuvin: Bol dinga nakitep nau nabol tapouve.
"Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of YHWH, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
2 Nangma khopi theng tia na kiminvo jeng vanguvin chule Israel Pathen, Amin chu Pakai Van Sepaite ti’a kingaija na kisei jenguve.
(for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; YHWH of hosts is his name):
3 Masang peh’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kseipehsa nahi. Chutah in Keiman phulou helouvin athu katanin, chule kana thusei jouse chu ahung gui lhungtai.
I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they happened.
4 Ajeh iham itileh keiman itobang loma louchal le thua nunglou nahi kahen ahi. Na ngong jang chu thih banga nem theilouva ahin, nalu jang jong Hah ngehtah tobanga tah’a ahi.
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
5 Hijeh’a hi ipi hung soh ding ahi kaseipeh ding; ahung guilhun masanga Keiman ipi kabol ding kaseipeh ding nahi. Chutah le nangman, ‘kalim semthu pathen hon abol ahi’ tia na seithei lou ding ahi. Thinga kisem milim le dangka pathen’in thu apeh’ahunglhunga ahitai’ tia nasei thei lou hel ding ahi.
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.'
6 Nangman kagao thusei dohho najah’a chule aguilhunna ho namu ahitai, hinla nangman ahinai tia nasei ding na nompoi. Tua hi Keiman, thuguh najah khahlou thilthah ho chu kaseipeh ding nahi.
You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 Nangma hon, ‘aphatseh in kahe nauve’ na tilouna dinguva, amaho chu aluiho hilouva, athah leh hiuva ahitai.
They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, 'Look, I knew them.'
8 Henge, Keiman tu masanga nangman najah khahlou thilho thudol abonna athah ahi, thilho thudol chu ka seipeh ding nahiuve. Ajeh chu Keiman nangho hi na penuva patna itobanga mipedoh’a na hiu le doubol na hiu kahet na hitauve.
Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Hijeng jongleh keima jal le kamin jabolna dinga, Keiman kalung hanna ka kituh’a chule ka suhmanghel lou nahiuve.
For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.
10 Keiman ka suhtheng nahiuvin, hinla dangka kilhatheng tobanga kabol nahipouve. Hinla meisa lah’a tobanga bol hesohna’a konna kalhah theng nahiuve.
Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Kamin jal'a -keima jal jeh’a, Keiman kahoi doh ding nahiuve! Keiman kamin chena hi kamoh beisah lou ding, chule Ka loupina chu lim-semthu to chan kanei lou ding ahi.
For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
12 Jacob insung mite, ka lhendoh pen Israel’in kasei hi ngaijuvin! Keima bou Pathen, amasa pen le anunung pen chu kahi.
"Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Ka khut tah’a leiset bul ho ka naphudoh’a, ka khut jetlam'a chunga um van hohi ka phajal ahi. Ahsi ho kakou tengleh, amaho abonuva ban neicha hung kigol ding ahiuve.
Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 Na lim-semthu ho’u chun hiche hi naseipeh khah’uvem? Nabonchauvin hungsoh kei’uvin lang, chule ngai’uvin: Pakaiyin Cyrus chu akigolchat pitai. Ama hin Babylon lengam chu achaina ahin sodoh ding, chule Babylon te galmi hung kitol ho chu asuhmang hel ding ahi.
"Let all of them assemble and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom YHWH loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 Keiman kaseisa ahitai: Cyrus chu kakou ahi! Hiche chung chang thua ama palaija ka pansah’a chule ama kalolhinsah ding ahi.
I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Hin nailutnun lang chule hiche hi ngaijun. Keiman atil abulla patna kichentah’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kana seipeh nahi tauve. Chule tua hi Pakai thunei chungnung chule aLhagao chun hiche thu poa pang dinga eipansah ahi.
"Come near to me and hear this: "From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I." Now YHWH has sent me, with his Spirit.
17 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei, na Huhhingpu, Israel Mitheng penpa chun, ‘Keima Pakai na Pathen, nangho dinga ipi apha ham ti nahilpa chule najui ding lampia chu napui ja kahi.
Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am YHWH your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 Oh, nanghon kathupeh ho nangai’u hitave leh! Chutileh nanghon chamna chu vadung long banga hunglong intin chule chule chonphatna chu nachunga twikhanglen kinong tobanga nachunga hung kitol lut ding ahi.
But would that you had listened to my commandments. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Nachilhah ho chu twikhanlen panga neldiho tama tam dingu-sima sim jou hilou dingu ahi. Na manthaina dingu ahilouleh na insung min’u kisubei talou ding ahitai.
Your descendants would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains; his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Hiti chun, tu jengin jong na sohchanna’a konin chamlhat hitan. Babylon le Babylon mite chu dalha tan. Hiche thuhi sadoh in! Leiset kolning lia samphongin! PAKAIyin asohte, Israel mipite ahuhdohtai.
Go forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say, YHWH has redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 Gamthip gamgo laiya apui sungin amaho adangchah pouve. Aman songpi akehso’in, hiti chun twi chu don dingin ahung putdohtai.
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 Hinla migilou dingin chamna aumpoi, tin PAKAI chun aseije.
"There is no peace," says YHWH, "for the wicked."
