Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Hijengjongle hiche boina meipi jin le phat-hahsa chu tonsot geiya chelhajinglou ding ahi. Zebulun le Naphtali gamkai chu hung kineosahtantin, hinla Galilee a Gentile, Jordan lui le Twipi kikah-a lamlen pangdunga chengte chu loupina chang diu ahi.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
Muthima vahle mite chun vah loupitah amudiu ahi. Ajehchu hiche gam'a muthim thuhtah'a chengho laha chu vah hung vah-emsel ding ahi.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
Nanghon Israel nampi chu nakehlet diu, chuteng amipiho chu kipah thanom diu ahi. Amaho chu lou lholhun laiya loubol-ho akipa thanopmuva, galjouhon neile gou achomhou akihopkhenuva akipa thanop banguva nangho masanga kipah thanom diu ahi.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
Ijeh-inem itileh asoh namkoljon’u chu nahebohpehtan chuleh alengkou-uva apohgihhou nadoplhahpehuva, Midian galsat sepaiho nasatlhuh banga abolgentheipau tenggol jong nahebohpeh ding ahi.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
Gal thisan nat galsat-ho kengkoh le agalvonhou jong meiya hallhuma umsoh ding, hiho chu mei chapkouva pang diu ahi.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Ijeh-inem itileh eiho dingin naosen khat apengtan, chapa khat eikipetauve. Gamvaipoten Ama lengkouva thunei vaihopna angaplhah diu ahi. Chuleh Ama chu Thumopthem kidangtah, Hatchungnung Pathen, Tonsot Mipa, Chamna Lengpa kitiding ahi.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.
Agamvaipoh le chamna chu beitih umtalou ding, Ama’n apului David laltouna-a kon’a thudih le thutah'a tonsot geiya vai ahom ding ahi. Hitia chu Van galsatte Pakai tompanna jal'a thil hunglhung ding ahi.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
Pakai chun Jacob dounan thu aseitan; athutanna chu Israel chungah alhutai.
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Israel mite le Samaria mite kiletsahtah le kihisahtaha thuseiho chun kihetloiyuhen.
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
Amahon, “Chehlhang achimlhaho chu songpeh-in saphau hitin, theiba thingho chu kisatbong gam jongleh, cedar thingin lhenguhite,” tiin aseiyui.
11 Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
Hinla Pakaiyin Rezin melmate chu Israel dou dinga ahin puiya amelmateu jouse ahin tildoh ding ahi.
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Solama kon Syriate, chule lhumlama kon Philistine-techu panguva, Israel chu avallhum diu ahi. Ahijengvanga Pakai lunghanna dailhadehlou lai ding ahi. Akhuttum jetsa-a alap jing nahlai ding ahi.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
Hitobang suhgimna athoh vanguvin Pakai henga kisih-in kile kit pouvinte. Van galsatte Pakai chu ahol dehlou lai diu ahi.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
Hijeha chu Pakaiyin alua pat amei geiya lusu-bahho le pumpengho nikhatleh asatlhah ding ahi.
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
Israel lamkaiho chu alu ahi’n, themgaoho chu amei ahi.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Ijeh-inem itileh mipi lamkaiho chun mipi apuikhel tauvin, amaho chun manthahna lampiah apuiyun ahi.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Hijeha chu Pakaiyin gollhangho le meithaiho chuleh naochagaho chung kisan’a hepina beihella alha ding ahi. Ajehchu amaho chu miphalou le miphalhemho ahiuvin chuleh ngolhoithu jeng aseiyui. Pakai lunghanna jong chimtheilouva, talen matsah dinga akhuttum jetsa-a umnalai ding ahi.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Akhohset ding dan chu gam-meika tobang ahi. Ling le khaoho jeng akahlhah seh hilouva agammang pumpi akah chaisohhel jeng ding ahi. Agam meikah-a kon chunglama meikhu kitungtou jeng ding ahi
19 Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
Van galsatte Pakai lunghanna chun agamlei chu kavomsoh-intin, mite chu mei deo jeju lah-a kihallhumuntin, koiman apenpi asopi jeng jong ahoidohlou ding ahi.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Ainkengteu khutjetlama anokhumuva, ahiala gilkel jing nalai diu ahi. Veilama ainkengteu amaitho jenguva avallhum diu, ahiala agilkelnau oiva dehlou ding, achaina leh achateu jeng jong anehchai diu ahi.
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manasseh chu Ephraim’in avahva ding, Ephraim chu Manasseh-in avahva ding, Chuleh pangkhom lhon’a Judah avallhum lhon ding ahi. Ahijengvanga Van galsatte Pakai lunghanna dailhadeh ponte. Akhuttum jetsa-a umnalai ding ahi.
