Isaiah 55

1 Adangchah khattou umem? Sum nanei lou jongleh-Hung in, hungdon nin! Hungin, nadeipen pen lengpi twi hihen, bongnoi hijongleh- abonna manbei ahi.

Ye that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.

2 Ipi dinga tha na petheilou an chohna’a nasum’u mang cha a nahiu vem? Nang ho dinga aphachom louva idia sum sumanga nahiu vem? Kasei ngaijun, chule apha chu neuvin. An phapen chu lung kipah tah’a naneh dingu ahi.

Wherefore do ye value at the price of money, and [give] your labour for that which will not satisfy? hearken to me, and ye shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

3 Ka kom’a hunguvin, na kollu phatah in hin do’uvin. Ngaiyun, chutileh hinna namu dingu ahi. Keiman tonsot kitepna nangho toh kasem ding ahi. Keiman David koma kakitepna, lhadai ngailou lungsetna chu aboncha kapeh ding nahiuve.

Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: hearken to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

4 Keiman ama chu kathaneina miho lah’a vetsah dinga, iti kamanchah ahi, heuvin. Keiman namtin lah’a lamkai khatna kasem ahitai.

Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.

5 Nangman nahet khahlou nam ho chu thu napeh ding, chule nahet phahlou mite chu nakoma hunglhai lut’uva, nathusei angai dingu ahi, ajeh chu keima Pakai na-Pathen, Israelte Mitheng Pa hin, loupia kasem nahi.

Nations which know thee not, shall call upon thee, and peoples which are not acquainted with thee, shall flee to thee for refuge, for the sake of the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified thee.

6 Pakai chu namu thei pet hin hol’ in. Anai pet hin Ama chu kouvin.

Seek ye the Lord, and when ye find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw nigh to you,

7 Agilou chun alampiho khel hen, chule thildih lou abolna lung gel dalha hen. Pakaiyin ahepi theina dingin. Ama heng lama hung kihei’u hen. Ahije, na- Pathen henga hung kihei’uhen, ijeh inem itileh Ama’n lungset hepia angaidamna achan tei ding ahi.

let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.

8 Nangho lung gel chu Keima dinga imacha hilou ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije. Chule ka lampiho hi nangho gah gelphah jou hoi ahipoi.

For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, saith the Lord.

9 Ajeh iham itileh vanho chu leiset sanga asanjoh tobanga, ka-lampi ho jong nangho lampi sanga sang jo’a ahi chule kagel ho hi nangho gel sanga sang joa ahi.

But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

10 Go twi le gel twi hi van hoa kona hung julha’ a hichun leiset chapnou dingin, leisetna aumden’in ahi. Amaho hin muchi- chivo ho chu akhan letsah in, loubol miho dingin ga asodoh in chule agilkel dingin an ahi.

For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:

11 Ka Thujong chutima ahi. Keiman kasoldoh’a chule hichun ga asodoh jingin ahi. Keiman kalunggot banga asuh bulhit ding chule kasolna channa abulhit molso tei hiding ahi.

so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make thy ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.

12 Nangho kipah le lungmonga nachen dingu ahi. Lhangsang ho le mol ho chun la ahinsah doh jeng dingu, chule lou jaova thingphung hon akhutnu abeh dingu ahi.

For ye shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

13 Ling phungho akenao munho’a chu thing sang tah tah ho hungkeh ding chule khao-guiho umna hoa chu len mui phung –eng jinjen chu hungkehdoh ding ahi. Hiche thilsoh ho hin Pakai min jana lentah ahinlhut ding, hiche ho jouse hi atonsotna athaneina le angailutna melchihna hung hi ta ding ahi.

And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
