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.
Come, everyone of you who's thirsty, come and drink the water! You who don't have money, come—you can buy and eat! Come and buy wine and milk—you don't need money; there's no cost!
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.
Why are you spending money on what isn't food, and why work for something that doesn't satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: eat what is good, and you'll enjoy the very best food.
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.
Come here, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I'm going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed to David.
4 Keiman ama chu kathaneina miho lah’a vetsah dinga, iti kamanchah ahi, heuvin. Keiman namtin lah’a lamkai khatna kasem ahitai.
See how I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for them.
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.
You will call nations you don't even know, and nations who don't know you will come running to you. For the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, I made you glorious.
6 Pakai chu namu thei pet hin hol’ in. Anai pet hin Ama chu kouvin.
Look for the Lord while you can still find him; call out to him while he's nearby.
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.
Wicked people should change their ways and get rid of even the thought of doing something wrong. They should turn to the Lord so he can be merciful to them. Come back to our God, because he's generous with his forgiveness.
8 Nangho lung gel chu Keima dinga imacha hilou ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije. Chule ka lampiho hi nangho gah gelphah jou hoi ahipoi.
For your thoughts are not my thoughts; and your ways are not my ways, declares 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.
In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
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.
It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower and food to eat.
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.
In the same way the words I say don't come back to me unfulfilled, they accomplish what I want—they successfully achieve my purpose.
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.
You will live happily, taught the ways of peace. Mountains and hills will celebrate, singing beside you; and all the trees will clap their hands!
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.
Cypress trees will grow instead of thorn bushes; myrtle trees will grow instead of brambles. This is to confirm the Lord's reputation—an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.
