Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
Mipha ho hinkho abeiyin; Pathen ngaisah aphat lhing louvin athi jiuve. Hinla koiman ipi jeh’ ham ti gelkhoh’a ahilouleh datmoa aumpouve. Ahivangin, koiman phat phalou lhung ding a kona Pathen’in alah uhinte, ti gel’a koima aumpoi.
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
Pathen ngaisahna lampi a cheho chu hung thi jonguleh lungmonga choldo ding ahiuve.
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
Hinla nangho doichoi ho chate, jon bol pasal ho le numei kijoh chilhah ho- hikoma hin hung khom’uvin!
4 Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Are not you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
Koi douna’a kigoa nahiuva? Koi douna’a namai’u najep pol’uva chule kamka’a lei lhadoh’a nahiu vem? Nangho chonset bol ho chate le jousei hat chate nahiu ve!
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Nanghon khongnang phungho le thingphung hing bultina nalim -semthu hou chu nagel khoh lheh’uve. Nanghon phaicham dung hoa songpia konna kitandoh ho chunga nachateu chu kilhainan natoh doh’uvin ahi. Keima kahitapon, amaho joh chu nagou chin’u ahitai. Hiche nabol’hou jouse hin keima hi kipah inte nei tiu ham?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
Phaicham mun hoa song jolsel ho chu na-pathen ‘u ahin, amaho chu nanghon Pathen houva nahou’uva kikatdohna don ding thilto nalhei lhauvin chule anneh thiltoho natohdoh’uvin ahi. Amaho chu na gouchan diu ahitai, Keima kahitapoi. Hiche nabol ho’u hin Keima hi kipah inte neitiu hija ham?
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
Nanghon molsang tinna jon-thanhoina nabol tauve. Chuche mun hoa chun nanghon milim nahou’uvin, Keima dinga kitahna bei nahiu ahitai.
8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made you a covenant with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
Nanghon lim-semthu houho melchihnaho chu na kotkhom ho’uva le na kotnung’uva natah’uvin, Keima nei dalhauvin, hiche pathenna neidia thet umtah ho chu nakichoijun, lupna nakaldoh piuvin ahi. Nanghon sagoh-keuva um semthu-milim chu lung ngaichatnin naveuvin, nangho tah nakipedoh jenguve.
9 You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol (Sheol h7585).
Nanghon Olive thao chu semthu-pathen (Molech-pathen)’a chun thao namtui pumin napedohtauve. Nangman naphahna thei chana, vannoi mithigam geijin, Pathen thah ngailut ding hollin nakalsongin ahi. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you did not say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you were not faint.
Na thilholna’a na cholta lheh’in, hinla na ngahnompoi. Ngaichat chun thahatna thah napen, na lhadah hihlaije.
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Have not I held my peace for a long time, and you do not fear me?
Hiche lim-kisemthu hohi nakichat ham? Amaho hin natijat sah em? Hiche jeh’a hi nangman keima jouva neibol’a chule nei suhmil’a chule ka thuseiho nasuhmil gam hitam? Keima kathipsot behseh tah jeh’a hi nei ginlou hitam?
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
Tua hi keiman thilpha bol’a na kigelnaho hi kasosal ding nahitai. Hiho chun na panpi lou dingu ahije.
13 When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
Panpi na ngaichatna nakou teng hiche limsemthu- pathen ho chun na panpiu vem veuhite. Ipi itidan'a huisi hung nung chun amaho amutlhuh ahidem! Achunguva nahaigin ajah’ujongleh aginna lhu jengu hin tem! Hinla koi hijongleh eitahsan mi chun gam chu aloding chule Ka lhangtheng chu aloding ahi.
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
Pathen’in, lamlen chu semphauvin, ati! Kamite chu asohchan nauva ahung kilekitna dinguvin lampia songpi ho le songho suthengun.
15 For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Sangtah le achungnungpenpa, tonsotna hing jingpa chun, hiche hi aseije:”Keima munsang le achungnungpen’a ka um'in, a lhagao ki sehgima chule akineosah hoto kaum khome. Keiman mi kineosah ho ka kiledohsah kitnin chule lungchang kisih ho lung ngamna kalepeh in ahi.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
Ajeh iham itileh nangho chunga doulung kaput jing ding ahipon; keima lung hang jing ding kahipoi. Chuti ding hileng, kasemsa mihemte hi abonchauva thigam diu ahitai.
17 I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
Kalung ana hanga, hijeh’a hi hiche mite hi ka gimbol ahi. Keima amahoa konin kakikhin kangin, ahijeng vang'in alouchal nau ajom jing nalaijuve.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Amahon ipi abol’u kamunai, hijongleh kaboldam ding hitante! Ken amaho pui jingting, alhaseteho kalhamon ding ahi.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”
Pakai, amaho damsahpa’n aseije: Agamla le anaija hon lungmonna lhingset nei’uhen; akam’uva vahchoina thucheng hinlhut ‘uhen, ati.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
Hijongleh, Keima eidoubol jing ho chu twikhanglen kinong, umthim theilouva, bonnang le aphon-nen hin notdoh tobangbep ahiuve.
21 “There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”
“Agiloupa dingin lungmonna aumpoi,” tin ka Pathen’in aseije.
