Isaiah 64
1 Oh, van hoa konna nahung kijaldoh jeng’a chule nahung kum suh hita ve leh! Na masanga lhangsang ho jong ti kithing thing jeng diu ahije!
If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
2 Meiyin thing go akahvama chule twiho asatsah tobang'in, nangma hung chun chitin- namtin kithing uvintin, chutah le na melma ten na minthanna ajeh ahetdoh dingu ahitai.
as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
3 Ma sanglaipeh’a na hungkumsuh chun, nangman kidangtah tah kagel phah’u kalval peh in thilho naboldohsa ahije. Hiti chun lhangsangho jong chu akihot jenguve!
When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
4 Ajeh iham itileh vannoi bul kiphu’a patnin, koima’n ajah khahlou, chule Ama ngah jing ho hitobang athil bolpeh umkha lou, mihem koima mitnin nang tobang Pathen hi amukha pouve!
From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
5 Kipah thanom’a apha bol ho, Pathen ngaisah ho chu kipah’in nakimupi ji'e. Hinla keiho pathen-ngaisah lou kahi jeh’un, kachunguva nalung hang lheh jenge. Keiho chonset bol bol jeng ka hiuvin; keiho tobangbep hi iti ka sochat dingu ham?
You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
6 Keiho hi ka bonchauva achonsea le athenglou chu kahiuve. Ka chonphat thilbol hou jong, imacha dang hilou ponse-namse tobang bou ahi. Khal laiya thingna apul tobang'in keiho kagop pai jiuvin chule kapullha ji tauve, chule hui hung nung tobang'in ka chonset’uvin eipui mang ji tauve.
Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
7 Ahivangin na mina taova koima aumpouvin chule na khotona angeh pouve. Hijeh hin, nangma keihoa konin na kihei mangin, chule ka chonset nau lama nei lehei mang tauve.
No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
8 Chuti hijongleh, Vo Pakai, nangma ka Pa’u nahije. Nangma bel dengpa chu nahin chule keiho leingan kahiuve. Keima ho jouse hi nakhutna neisemu ahije.
But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
9 Pakai, neilunghan hih beh’uvin. Ka chonsetna ho’u chu geldoh jom jing tahih beh in. Nei hin vetem’un, katao’u ahi, chule keima ho jouse hi namite kahiuve.
Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
10 Na khopi thengho jong suhmangin aumtai. Zion hi gamthip akisoh in; henge, Jerusalem hi amangthah hel ahitai.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Hou’in theng le hoitah, kapu kapa teuvin na vahchoila asah nau mun chu, akihal vam’a ahitai, chule vet hoithei jouse chu kisumang soh’a ahitai.
Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
12 Hicheng jouse nunga jong hi, Pakai, nangman nei donlou teitei dingu hitam? Thip beh’a naum joma chule nei gimbol dingu hitam?
After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
