Isaiah 54
1 Vo cha neilou nu, cha hing khalou hel nu nangman, lan san! Vo Jerusalem, aw ging le kipah thanom tah in la san. Naoso nat thoh khalou hel numei, dalhah’a um numei nu chun, ajipato chengkhom nu sangin, cha atam hin johtai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
Give praise, you who are barren and unable to conceive. Sing praise and make a joyful noise, you who have not given birth. For many are the children of the desolate, more so than of her who has a husband, says the Lord.
2 Na in keh lenin, chule abanin khat sahben. Na in sah chu kijalsah in, chule sumchena ding itchah hih hellin.
Enlarge the place of your tent and extend the skins of your tabernacles, unsparingly. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 Ajeh iham itileh bailam tah’a nangma na kidop sangna chun nakipa sah ding ahi. Nason nachi lhah ho chun nam dangho gam aloding chule khopi mangthah hoa chu gacheng kit diu ahi.
For you shall extend to the right and to the left. And your offspring shall inherit the nations, and you shall inhabit the desolate cities.
4 Jachatna hinkho naman kit lou ding ahitah jeh in, kicha hih in. Nangma not thapna chang lou ding nahi tah jeh in kicha hih beh in. Nangman na khangdonlai jachatna ho le meithai lunghemna jong na geldoh kittah lou helding ahitai.
Do not be afraid! For you will not be confounded, and you will not blush. And you will not be put to shame, because you shall forget the confusion of your youth, and you shall no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
5 Ajeh iham itileh na- Sempa chu najipa hung hiding; Amin chu Van Galmite Pakai akiti. Ama chu Vannoi pumpi Pathen, Israelte Atheng Penpa, na Chodohpa chu ahi.
For the One who made you will rule over you. The Lord of hosts is his name. And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will be called the God of all the earth.
6 Ajeh iham itileh Pakaiyin - nangma khang dong cha jinei, ajipan adalhah tobanga, nangma nalung hemna’a konna hin koukitna ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
For the Lord has called you, like a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and like a wife rejected in her youth, said your God.
7 Phat chomcha kadon lou nahin, hijongleh khoto them tah’a kale lah kit ding nahi.
For a brief moment, I have forsaken you, and with great pities, I will gather you.
8 Lunghan koujah jeh’a chomcha khat kamai kahei mang anahi. Hinla tonsot ngailutna’a keiman nangma kakhoto ding nahi, tin na-Pakai, na -Chodohpan aseije.
In a moment of indignation, I have hidden my face from you, for a little while. But with everlasting mercy, I have taken pity on you, said your Redeemer, the Lord.
9 Keiman Noah phat laiya kana kihahsella, Keiman twi-sangletna leiset pumpi kachupsah kit tahlou hel ding ahi tia kanasei banga, tua hi kakihahsel’a, Keima kalung hangkit talou ding chule kagimbol lou ding nahitai.
For me, it is just as in the days of Noah, to whom I swore that I would no longer bring in the waters of Noah over the earth. Thus have I sworn not to be angry with you, and not to rebuke you.
10 Ajeh iham itileh molsang ho kichon hen lang chule mol’ho kichon mang ding hijongleh, ka ngailutna kitahna nangma chunga ka umsah den ding, ka kitepna phatthei bohna chu itih’a kisukeh lou hel ding ahitai, tin ahepina nachunga koipa Pakaiyin aseije.
For the mountains will be moved, and the hills will tremble. But my mercy will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not be shaken, said the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 Vo khopi huijin asuh ling jing, boija chule kinepna um talou khopi! Keiman nangma songman tam’a kasah phatna chule na’inbul ho chu saphir songa kaphudet ding ahi.
O poor little ones, convulsed by the tempest, away from any consolation! Behold, I will set your stones in order, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires,
12 Keiman na in sang ho chu songman tam vah lap lap’a kasem’a, na kelkot ho chu valleh leh’a kajepma chule na- in bang ho jong chu song mantam’a kijep ding ahije.
and I will make your ramparts out of jasper, and your gates out of sculpted stones, and all your borders out of desirable stones.
13 Keiman nachateho jouse kahil ding, chule amahon lungmonna bulhingset’ nomsa ding ahiuve.
All your children will be taught by the Lord. And great will be the peace of your children.
14 Thu adih le ahoia kivaipohna khat umna’a chu nangma ki huhbit ding nahi. Na melmate nangma’a konna gamla tah’a kichon doh dingu, nangma lungmonga nachen ding, tijatnan nahin nailou ding ahitai.
And you will be founded in justice. Depart far from oppression, for you will not be afraid. And depart from terror, for it will not approach you.
15 Nangma douna a nam khat galla nasat dinga ahunga ahileh, keima hinsol ahipoi. Koi hijongleh nano khum ho chu gallel’a kumsuh ding ahiuve.
Behold, a settler will arrive, who was not with me, a certain new arrival will be joined to you.
16 Keiman thih khengpa kasem ahin, ama chun pum meiya meihol ajapma chule gal manchah kisuh gamna ding akhendoh ahi. Keiman asumang ding sepai ho semsa kakoi ahitai.
Behold, I created the smith who fans the coals of the fire and produces an object by his work, and I have created the slayer who destroys.
17 Hijongleh ahung lhung ding nikho’a chu nangma douna’a gal manchah pan ho chu lolhing pouvinte. Nangma oimo dinga aw sanga thusei ho chu nangman napho thip ding ahi. Hiche phatchomna hohi Pakai lhachate chang ding ahiuve. Hiche kisei adihna photchetna hi keija kon hunga ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
No object which has been formed to use against you will succeed. And every tongue that resists you in judgment, you shall judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and this is their justice with me, says the Lord.
