Isaiah 59
1 Ngaijin! Pakai ban chu nangma huhhing dinga tha lhom’a ahipon, nakouna aw jong chu ajah louna dinga chutia na ngong’a ahidehpoi.
Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear?
2 Na chonsetna ho’u hin nangho toh Pathen kikah akhen ahi. Na chonset jeh’u chun, aman amai aheimang leh na taonau angailou ahitai.
Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].
3 Na khut hou chu mithana khut ahi bouvin, chule na khut jung hou namset chu chonset bolna ahi. Na kam’uva hungpot jong jouseina dim ahin, chule nakam paovu jong manlou thu ngensen potna ahi.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness.
4 Koima dat neilouva thutah sei le lung theng gelkhoh aumpoi. Miho chung thu kitanna mun jong jou thuho bou aseiju ahi. Amahon thilse ageluvin, chonset ahin hing doh’uve.
None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment: they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.
5 Ama hon thina thei gulse-tui chu aop keo’uvin chule mom pan asa thei’uve. Hiche pan sunga lhalut chan chu thi ding chule amaho gahnai chan chu hamsetna’a lut thei ahi.
They have hatched asps' eggs, and weave a spider's web: and he that is going to eat of their eggs, having crushed an addled egg, has found also in it a basilisk.
6 Apan semu chu ponsil’a akimang theipon, chule athilbol’u jong imacha phatchomna tahbeh ahipoi. Achonna jouseu chonset adimset nin, chule minosop kiti hi amihi nau kihetna ahi.
Their web shall not become a garment, nor shall they at all clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity.
7 Akeng phangu jong thilse bolna dingin alhaitho jengun, Chule amaho mithana dingin akal jangun ahi. Chonset bol ding bou agel gelun ahi. Lungkhamna le manthahna’in amaho ajui jinguve.
And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;
8 Cham-lungmonna hoilaija kimu ding ahi ahepouvin, thil adih’abol le apha bol di jong ahetapouve.
and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace.
9 Hiti chun eimaho lah’a thu adih’a tan kiti hi aum theipon, chule hinkho adih’a man hi ipi ahi ihepouve. Vah iveuvin, hinla muthim bou imuve. Van dangvah iveuvin, hinla athim’a ium’uve.
Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
10 Eiho mitcho bangin banga ikimai’uvin, mit neilou ho tobang'in ilam piu idon jot’uve. Sun nisa emlai jin jong muthimpet tobang'in eiho ikipal’uvin ahi. Mihing gam'a iumlai’un jong athisa tobangbep ihiuve.
They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.
11 Eiho vompi gilkel tobang'in ikitum’uvin, chule lunghel na’a dim vakhu bangin imao’uve. Thu adih’a tan igaldot’uvin, hinla ahung hih beh in; eipan hu ding igaldot’un, hinla hichu eihoa konin gamla tah ahunghi.
They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
12 Ajeh iham itileh ichonset nahou Pathen masanga akisethop jengin chule hichun eiho eidouna akiphongdoh’in ahi. Henge, itobanga chonset bol ihiu ikihet’uve.
For our iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.
13 Eihon Pakai douna le aseilep ma ipan’u ikihetdoh uvin ahi. Eihon I Pathen’u nungsuna ihitauve. Eihon ichan geija kilomlou tah le kidouna lung pua ihiuvem ti chingthei tah’a duha thuh tah’a jou jeng seija ihiu ikihet’uve.
We have sinned, and dealt falsely, and revolted from our God: we have spoken unrighteous words, and have been disobedient; we have conceived and uttered from our heart unrighteous words.
14 Ithutan nau munna chondihna idoudal’un, chule thu adih’a tanna akimu tapoi. Thutah chu lam lenna akiboso in, lungthenna jong dan kalval akihisah tai.
And we have turned judgment back, and righteousness has departed afar off: for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path].
15 Ahinai, thutah chu achemangin, chule aphalou hotbol chan chu akinokhum khumtai. Pakaiyin ahinven, thu adih’a kitanlou chu alung himo lheh jenge.
And truth has been taken away, and they have turned aside [their] mind from understanding. And the Lord saw it, and it pleased him not that there was no judgment.
16 Mi khatbeh’in jong akibolsepa pan hu dinga Ama’n amudoh joulou chu adatmo lheh jenge. Hitia hi akibolse chu panpi ding le aban thahatna huhdoh dinga Amatah hung kalsonga ahitai.
And he looked, and there was no man, and he observed, and there was none to help: so he defended them with his arm, and established [them] with [his] mercy.
17 Amahin chonphatna chu atahsa galmanchah dinga omphoa aneija chule huhhingna lukhuh chu alua akikhuh ahije. Amatah melma phuba lahna galvonna akivonin, chule Pathen khotona chu sangkholchol ‘in Amatah akivontai.
And he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and placed the helmet of salvation on his head; and he clothed himself with the garment of vengeance, and with his cloak,
18 Ama hin amelmate chu athilse abolnau lethuh intin, Alunghanna chu adougal te chunga hung chu ding ahi. Amaho chu leiset kolmong geija lethuhna apeh ding ahi.
as one about to render a recompence, [even] reproach to his adversaries.
19 Lhumlam gam'a miho chun Pakai min chu ajabol dingu, solama Ama choi’atna apeh dingu ahi. Ajeh iham itileh Ama twisoh lai twi kinong tobanga Pakaijin ahu ahin semdoh ding ahi.
So shall they of the west fear the name of the Lord, and they [that come] from the rising of the sun his glorious name: for the wrath of the Lord shall come as a mighty river, it shall come with fury.
20 Lhatdampu chu Jerusalem’a hung ding Israel sunga achonset nauva konna lungheiho chu anungchoh doh ding ahije, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
And the deliverer shall come for Sion's sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
21 Chule Pakaiyin hiche hi kakitepna hiding ahi:” Ka Lhagaovin amaho dalha tapontin, chule chuche thuho kapehlou beh hija ahi. Hiche thuho chu nangma kamsungle na chapa teu kamsung'a chule na tuteu kamsung'a a’itih’a umjing ding ahi, tin Keima Pakai kitipa hin kaphondoh ahitai.
And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon you, and the words which I have put in your mouth, shall never fail from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever.
