Isaiah 56
1 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei: Abonchakeija dinga adih le avet hoi hihen. Keima na huhdoh diuna kahung vahding ahijeh'in, adih le apha chu bol’uvin chutileh nalah’uva kachonphatna kavetsah ding nahiuve.
Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
2 Hiche hi chingthei tah’abolho chu abonchauva nunnom hidingu ahi. Ka Sabbath nikho jabolla kicholdoa chule aphalou bolna’a konna kiveng bit jouse nunnom kiti ding ahiuve.
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
3 Pakaiya kipedohsa gamdang miho chun:” Pakaiyin keima Amite lah’a chan eineisah hih intin, chule nukiso ho jong chun, keima thing go le chaneilou chule khonung ding kinepna bei kahi ti dau hen.
And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 Ajeh iham itileh hiche hi Pakai thusei ahi: Keiman nukiso ho ka-Sabbath athenga nit ho chule kalunglhaina kilhen ho chujongleh ahinkhou kahenga pedoh ho chu phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
5 Keiman ka’in bang chunga melchihna le min neina kapeh ding hi- chapate le Chanute hon apeh jou sanga gamchenga lenjo ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman amaho kapeh ding min hi mangthei talou ding, a’itih’a umjing ding ahitai.
I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
6 Pakaiya gamdang mi hung kipelut ho, Ama kinna kisalella chule Amin ngailuho, Ama houva chule kacholdoni (Sabbath) suboh louho chule kakitepna kolchah jing ho jong chu Keiman phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
7 Keiman amaho chu ka lhang theng Jerusalem’a kahinpui ding chule taona in chu kipah pum’a kapuilut dingu ahi. Keiman akilhainau le apumgo thiltou chu kasanpeh ding ahitai, ajeh chu ka hou’in chu chitin-namtin jouse dinga taona’in kiti ding ahitai.
I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
8 Ajeh iham itileh Achungnungpen Pakai Israel akipaidoh ho hinlepui kitpa chun aseije, ‘Keiman Kamite Israel bou hilouva, adangho jong kahin puilut ding ahi,’ ati.
The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
9 Loujaova gamsaho hungun! Gam manga gamsaho hung jao’uvin! Hungun lang kamite hi hungval lhum’un.
All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
10 Ajeh iham itileh Kamite lamkaija pangho, Pakai khongah ho, chule Akel ngoi chingho- amit’u achon chule kho amupouve. Amaho hi uicha in ngah thip beh’a umho, hahsatna hunglhung ding gihsalna pelou ahiuve. Amaho hin gah luma, ihmua, sun laiya mangnei ding angaichauve.
His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 Uicha kiloseho tobangbep’in lungna kimna anei go hih uve. Amaho hi kho phulou kelngoiching ho, amaho gel gella khosauva, amaho chang phatchomna ding bou agel’u ahi.
And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
12 Amahon,’ Hungun, Ju themkhat tep’u hitin chule party bol’u hite,’ tin aseijui. Ibonchauvin donkham set’u hitin, ajingle party alenjo cheh in bolkit’uhite, atiuve.
“Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
