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.
Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
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.
I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is 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 foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
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.
They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
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 cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
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.
I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
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 bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
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.
[I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
9 Loujaova gamsaho hungun! Gam manga gamsaho hung jao’uvin! Hungun lang kamite hi hungval lhum’un.
“You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
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.
The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
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 they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
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.
They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
