Isaiah 51
1 Pakai holla, huhdohna chang dinga kinem jousen, kasei hi ngaijuvin! Songpia konna kitan doh’a na hiuvin chule gomtong’a konna kilaidoh’a na hiu chu ngaitouvin.
Hearken to me, ye who follow after righteousness, ye who seek Jehovah. Look to the rock from where ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit from where ye were dug.
2 Na pului’u Abraham le na nampiu hung penna nu Sarah chu ngaitouvin. Ka kou petna chu Abraham achangseh bou ahin, hinla ama phatthei kaboh’in, nam lentah ahung hitai.
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3 Pakaiyin Israel alhamon kit ding, chule amah thah nau alainat pi’e. Nelphai jong chu Eden banga nom ding, gamthip gamgo lai jong chu Pakai honlei bang ding ahi. Kipana le thanopna chuche muna kimun tin, Thangvahna laho chu gingdoh ding ahi.
For Jehovah has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Ka mite, kasei ngai’uvin. Israel’in ngai hen. Ajeh chu ka danthu kilhangsap ding, chule ka thutan themna chu chitin-namtin lah’a kilang ding ahi.
Attend to me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my nation. For a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5 Ka khotona le thutan themna hung lhung loi ding, Ka huhhingna hi hunga ahitai. Ka bantha hattah hin chitin-namtin chunga thutan themna ahin pohlut ding ahi. Gam latah gam’a hon ei hinvet dingu chule kinem tah’a ka bantha hatna chu kinem ding ahiuve.
My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.
6 Dah in van khu veuvin, chule noi lam leiset hin vesuh un. Ajeh chu van hi meikhu tobang ahung mang thah ding, chule leiset hi ponsil hal tobanga mang thah ding ahi. Leiset mite jong thousi tobanga thi ding ahiuvin, hinla ka huhhingna hi a’itih’a umjing ding ahi. Ka chonphatna dan chu akichaitih umlou ding ahi.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7 Kasei ngaijun, adihlou’a konna adih hea nangho, adan thu lunga tuhdet hon, mihon nahin taitom diu tija hih un. Ama hon na jumso dingu jong kicha hih beh un.
Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.
8 Ajeh iham itileh ngetnin pon anehset tobang hi dingu, chule lung hon samul anehheng tobang hung hidiu ahije. Hinla ka chonphatna chu itih’a hijinga, Ka mihuhhingna jong akhang khanga kijom jing ding ahi.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.
9 Khangin, khangin, Vo Pakai! Thaneitah in hung kivonin! Nathahatna banjet chu hin jah doh in! Masanglai nikhoa nangman Nile vadunga Hingne(dragon) tobang Aigupta mite natha tobang chu hiuhen.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 Na mite agalkai theina dinguva twithuh lah’a kona ahungdoh theina dingun, twikhanglen nakan sah in, lampi lhung lut pachu, tunia hi Ama chu na hilou hitam?
Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Pakai lhatsate chu hung kile’ uvintin, tonsot kipana lallukhuh khuh puma Jerusalema chu lasa puma lut’uvintin, lungkhamna le lunghemna kitol mangin tin, amaho chu kipana le thanopna’a dim jing ding ahitauve.
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Keima, kei mong mongin nangho kalhamon nahiuvin, hijeh’a chu mihem ho chu, hampa banga mollha loile mangthei bep ahiuvin, ipi dinga na kichat ham?
I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are thou, that thou are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass,
13 Hijongleh nanghon Pakai, na Sempa’u, vanho hin pha jal'a chule leiset bul hin phutdohpa chu na sumil tauve. Mihem bol hesohna na kichat jom jing diu ha? Na melma teu lunghanna na kichat jom jing dingu ham? Tua hi alungsat nau le alunghan nau hoilamba geija hitam? Achemang'a ahitai.
and have forgotten Jehovah thy maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Na sohchang ho’u chu gang tah’a kilhadoh ding ahiuve! Songkul lutna, an ngolna le thina chu nachan ding hitalou ding ahitai.
The captive exile shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
15 Ajeh iham itileh Keima Pakai na Pathen kahi: Twikhanglen choh thouva, chule twipi kinong chu ging dum duma lhapa chu kahin, Kamin chu Vanna Galmiho Pakai kitipa chu ahi.
For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirs up the sea so that the waves of it roar. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
16 Chule Keiman ka Thuho chu nakama kakhumpeh in, chule nakihuh bitna ding chu kasellin, chule keiman vantham jol chu kapha jal'a chule leiset bul aphudoh ahin, Keiman Israel jah’a, ‘Nangho Kamite nahiuve’ kati ahi.
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou are my people.
17 Thoudoh in, thoudoh in, Vo Jerusalem! Nangman Pakai lunghanna chu khonna nadontai. Tijat umtah khon chu nadonin, atwi valha nunungpen geija nadanga navat lhah sah ahitai.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Na chateu khatcha jong ahinga akidalha a na khuttuh’a chule na puile ding aumtapoi.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth, nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons that she has brought up.
19 Hiche vangset hamsetna teni hi- manthaina le mahthahna, galle kelthohna hohi nachunga hunglhunga ahi. Nangho na hepi-khoto dingu koi kidalha hinau vem? Nangho nalhamon dingu um nauvem?
These two things have befallen thee (Who shall bemoan thee?): Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. How shall I comfort thee?
20 Ajeh iham itileh nachateu chu atha’u lhadah ahita’uvin chule lampia alumgam tauvin, agamsunga chengho chu len kikhum bangin panpi bei ahitauve.
Thy sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
21 Hinla tun hiche hi ngaijin, akigimbol hesoh ho jukham tobanga lung gel je helouva touho, ju don kham jeh ahipouve.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
22 Hiche hi Thuneipen Pakai, na Pathen le na Panhupa chun asei ahije: Ven, keiman tijat umtah khon chu na khutna konin kalatai, nangman kalung hanna khon chu na donlou ding ahitai.
Thus says thy lord Jehovah, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.
23 Chuche khella chu nabol hesoh ho, ‘Keihon vutvaito kichiltha dingu chule natungtun chunga lam kajot dingu ahi’ tia seiho khutna hiche khon chu kapeh joh ahitai.
And I will put it into the hand of those who afflict thee, who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over, and thou have laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
