< 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 saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be 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.
Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from 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.
Neither let the alien, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying: 'The LORD will surely separate me from His people'; neither let 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 saith the LORD concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast by 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.
Even unto them will I give in My house and within My walls a monument and a memorial better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting memorial, that shall not be cut off.
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.
Also the aliens, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by 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.
Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a 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.
Saith the Lord GOD who gathereth the dispersed of Israel: Yet I will gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered.
9 Loujaova gamsaho hungun! Gam manga gamsaho hung jao’uvin! Hungun lang kamite hi hungval lhum’un.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
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, without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; raving, lying down, loving to slumber.
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.
Yea, the dogs are greedy, they know not when they have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand; they all turn to their own way, each one to his gain, one and all.
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 ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.'
