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.
Exult, thou barren, that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.
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 thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy 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 thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and they shall make desolate cities to be inhabited.
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.
Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
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 thy Maker is thy husband: Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
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 Jehovah hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, that hath been refused, saith thy God.
7 Phat chomcha kadon lou nahin, hijongleh khoto them tah’a kale lah kit ding nahi.
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
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 the outpouring of wrath have I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting loving-kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer.
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 this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me, since I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I will no more be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
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 shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah, that hath mercy on thee.
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.
[Thou] afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I will set thy stones in antimony, and lay thy foundations 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 thy battlements of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of precious stones.
13 Keiman nachateho jouse kahil ding, chule amahon lungmonna bulhingset’ nomsa ding ahiuve.
And all thy children [shall be] taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy 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.
In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
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, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever gathereth together against thee shall fall because of thee.
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, it is I who have created the smith that bloweth in the fire of coal, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to ravage.
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 weapon that is prepared against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah; and their righteousness is of me, saith Jehovah.
