< 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.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters! Even ye that have no money, come ye, buy and eat! Yea, come, buy wine and milk, Without money and without 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 spend your money for that which is not bread, And your substance for that which doth not satisfy? Listen attentively to me; so shall ye eat that which is good, And your soul shall delight itself with delicacies.
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.
Incline your ear, and come to me; Hear, and your soul shall live! And I will make with you an everlasting covenant; I will give you 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 gave him for a commander to the nations; For a prince, and a lawgiver to the nations.
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.
Behold, the nation which thou knowest not thou shalt call; And the nation which knew not thee shall run to thee, For the sake of Jehovah, thy God, And of the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
6 Pakai chu namu thei pet hin hol’ in. Anai pet hin Ama chu kouvin.
Seek ye Jehovah, while he may be found; Call upon him while he is near;
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 wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him, And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
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 thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.
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.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts 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.
For as the rain and the snow descend from heaven, And return not thither, But water the earth, and make it bear and put forth its increase, That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater;
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, that goeth forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void; But it shall bring to pass that which is my pleasure, And it shall accomplish that for which I send it.
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 out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, And all the trees of the field shall 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.
Instead of the thorn shall grow up the cypress-tree, And instead of the bramble shall grow up the myrtle-tree, And it shall be to Jehovah for a name; For an everlasting memorial, that shall not pass away.
