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!
I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
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.
They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
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 will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before 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 ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
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 have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.
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.
And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried 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.
There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own 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.
And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.
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 so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
10 Na khopi thengho jong suhmangin aumtai. Zion hi gamthip akisoh in; henge, Jerusalem hi amangthah hel ahitai.
The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
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.
The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.
12 Hicheng jouse nunga jong hi, Pakai, nangman nei donlou teitei dingu hitam? Thip beh’a naum joma chule nei gimbol dingu hitam?
Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
