Isaiah 58

1 Sumkon kimut awgin tobang'in Sam’in. Samphongin! Kichase hih in. Kami Israel te achonset’u seipeh in.

Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.

2 Hijeng jongleh amaho pathen-ngaisah toh akilou’uve! Niseh in hou’In’a ahunguvin chule kathu aboncha het nomna nei hileu akilouve. Amaho chonphat bol nam, Pathen dan thuho nungsun khaloudi tobang'in achonuve. Amahon thutah chondan ho angeh jiuvin, Pathen hinnai ding jong athanomun ahi.

They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw near to God,

3 Amaho’n, “Na’masanga an kangol’uvin, Idia ima’agel louva naum ham? Keiho tah kaki ham bol lheh’uvin, nangman neihet peh hih’uve!” “Ajeh ipi ahi kaseipeh ding nahiuve; “Nangho kilunglhaina bep dinga an ngol’a nahi uve. Na an ngol pet uvin jong nanatong teu chu nabol hesoh jom nalai’uve,” tin keiman kaseipehtai.

saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.

4 Nanghon kinah le kinelna nanei’uleh, an ngol ipi phachom ding hitam? Hitia nanghon an nangol’uleh keima toh ipia phatchomna namu dingu ham?

If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?

5 Nanghon longlau-phung huijin amut on tobang'in, na lungthim’uva kiseh gimna naneijun, kineosah tah in nalu’u nakunsah’uvin ahi. Nanghon khaodip pon naki’ah uvin, chule nalu’uva vutvai nakithe’uve. Hiche hi anngol natiu chu hija ham? Nangho lunggel’a hiche hohin Pakai lunglhai inte nati mong mong’u ham?

I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.

6 Ahipoi, Keiman kadeilhen anngol chu: Alam louva songkul’a kikhum ho chu lhadohna ding, nangho natonga pang ho chu apoh gih’u ngai-jang peh’a, akibol gim ho chamlhat sah ding, akihen ho chu akihen nau thihkhao sutlhap peh ding chu ahije.

I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

7 Na anneh’u chu agilkel din kheh’unlang, innei lou chu nalima kicholdo hen. Ponsil ngaicha ho napon hou peuvin lang chule napanpi ngaicha nasopite ho’a konin kihei mang hih in.

Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.

8 Chutengleh huhhing nachanna chu khovah bangin hung vahdoh intin, chule nakisuh khahna maha chu dampai jeng ding ahi. Pathen na ngaisahna chun na masot nintin, chuteng Pakai loupina chun nanung lam hongbit nante.

Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass you.

9 Chuteng leh, nangman nakou phat phatleh Pakaiyin nadonbut ding, nangman samin natin, Aman hikoma kaume tia ahin houpai jeng ding ahi. Akibol hesoh te namkol pohgih tah chu lalhan. Mi oimona khut junga nako ji le thangthipma na-thusei ho ngan.

Then shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;

10 Agilkel nehding pen, chule hahsatna toh ho panpin. Chutah le navah chu muthim lah’a hung vahdoh intin, chule na kimvella muthim chu sunlai banga hung vahdoh ding ahi.

and [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:

11 Pakaiyin na pui jom jing ding, na dang got tengleh donding twi na pentin chule natha akiledohsah kit ding ahi. Nangma twi kichap jing honlei tobang nahi ding, twinah kanglou tobang nahi ding ahije.

and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

12 Na lah’uva mi phabep chun na khopiu agemsa ho chu athah sahphat kit dingu ahi. Chuteng leh nangma chu khopi bangho sapha’a le inchen ho kiledohsahpa’a nakihe ding ahitai.

And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.

13 Sabbath nikho chu thengsellin nitnin. Hiche Sabbath nikhoa nabol jousea anikho chu jabollin lang, chuche nia chun na deilam lam’in chon hih in.

If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,

14 Chutengleh Pakai chu na lunglhaina hung hiding ahitai. Keiman sangtah’a nangma kajabol’a, chule na pului’u Jacob gamlo ding kateppeh chu nalungna kimding ahije, tia Keima Pakaiyin kaseidoh ahitai.

then shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
