Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Tun keiman kagoldeiya dingin alengpilei lachoinan zaila oiyinge: Kagoldeiyin lhang hoitah chungah lengpilei aneiye.
2 and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Alei alhouvin, songho aladoh-in chuleh lengpithei achi hoipenho chu atuin ahi. Alailunga chun insang atungin, anaiya songpi ho panga chun lengpitwi hehna jong atunge. Chuin ama’n lengpithei lhum lophat angah-in, hinlah lengpithei hung gaho chu akha’n ahi.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Tun nangho Jerusalem le Judah mite, keima le kalengpithei chungah ngaidan hin peuvin.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Kalengpileiya dinga kanabollou ipi kabolbe ding umem? Lengpithei lhum jinjen kagaldot jing laiya, ipi dinga kalengpileiyin atheiga khachehchuh ahin so hintem?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Tua hi kalengpilei hi ipi kalo ding ham naseipeh-unge: Keiman atho phelhangting subei tange. Apal volhusohkeiyingting, ganchaho lhalutninge.
6 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Gammanglah banga alengpiguijamho kivekollou le kimalngimlouva chuleh hampa kehho kilhoungimlou, ling le khao lah kasosah ding ahi. Meilhangho jeng jong thu kapeh-a gotwi kachapkhumsahlou ding ahi.
7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.
Israel nampi hi van galsatte Pakai dinga alengpilei ahi. Judah mite hi alunglhaina honlei ahiuve. Ama’n ahonsoh chu ahididoltaha kithutandihna gaso akineppi vang'in, kisuhgimna gaso joh amutai. Chondihna gaso akineppin, hinla kinah-kibaona awgin ajajotai.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
Itobanga lungjin-um ding hitam inmun aban ban’a kichohbea, loumun aban ban’a kichohbea achainakeiya mijouse notdoh-a aumjouva achangseh-a chengho dinga chu.
9 In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Keiman kajatai van galsatte Pakai kitepna: “In tampi nusea umding, in hoitahho asung ahomkeova umding.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
Lengpilei ching somin lengpitwi bel dim gup jeng jong asodoh joulou ding, amuchi lo dim som helin aga lo dim khatbou asosah ding ahi.”
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
Itobanga lungnachim umlou ding hitam jingpitaha thoudoha donding ju holla chuleh jansot geiya lengpitwi donkhamphella tousot nomho dinga chu.
12 And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are [in] their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
Amahon lengpitwi ninglhingtahin akikoiyun nguigin ginngei — semjang, selangdah, khong le theile — tho’n nunnop amangun, Pakai chu ageldoh tapouvin, athilbolho jeng jong ahephatapouve.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
Hitia chu Keima eihetphahlou jeh uva kamite chu gamlataha sohchanga umding ahiuve. Alen-alal le jabolla umho chu gilkella thidiu, milhamho chu dangchah-a thidiu ahi.
14 Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend [into it]. (Sheol h7585)
Lhankhuh jengin jong aduchan, alol-hom thamhelholin ado’n ahi. Alen le neo chuleh jukhamho chu avallhumsohhel ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:
Mihem kisubei ding, chuleh miite chu kisunem ding; mikiletsahho jeng jong dahdoh ngamlouva kijumso diu ahi.
16 but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
Hinlah Van galsatte Pakai chu ahina bangtaha kichoisang ding, Pathen athenna chu adihna bangtaha kiphongdoh ding ahi.
17 Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.
Chu nikho teng chuleh kelngoite hamhing engsel laha lhauvintin, kelngoi thaotahho le kelchaho khogem laha lhadiu ahi.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;
Iti’n ada tadiuvem bongin nunglama kang (kangtalai) akai banga jou le nalla kihol khaoguiya achonsetna hinkikai ding ho tah chu!
19 that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
Amahon Pathen jeng jong ataitomuvin, “Kinon lang ihamkhat bolin! Kinoin, naboltheina chu neimusah-un. Nathilgon chu kamunomuve,” atiuvin ahi.
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Ase chu apha ahi, apha chu ase; athim chu avah ahi’n, avah chu athim ahi; akha chu alhum ahi’n, alhum chu akha ahi; tia seiho suhchimit teidinga lha ahitauve.
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Iti’n ada tadiuvem ama mitmua ching kisa-a, ama kigella lungthimthemtah kisaho chu.
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;
Iti’n ada tadiuvem lengpitwi don’a hat kisalheh jenga, adontam chan’a bolthei kisaho chu.
23 that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Amaho chun miphalouho selkhunan sumguh alauvin, monaneilouho gotna apejiuvin ahi.
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Hijeha chu, meikongin louchul laha changkung akahvama, hamgo meilhum sunga akileogep jeng banga amaho chu ajung geiya monlhauva apah-u chullha ding ahiuve. Ijeh-inem iti leh amahon Van galsatte Pakai danthupehho nahsahmon akoiyun; Israel dinga Athengpa thuseiho ahotbolun ahi.
25 Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Hijeha chu Pakai lunghanna chun amite chu ahalvama, akhuttum adopma amaho chu aden ding ahi. Chuteng molsangho kilingsoh-intin, mithilongho chu lamlhong dungah nenthangho bangin chaplha jenginte. Ahijengvanga Pakai lunghanna chu dailhadehlou lai ding ahi. Akhuttum kijesa-a umnalai ding ahi!
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.
Aman gamlataha namtin vaipi henga melchihna asolding, leiset kolkimvella chengho jah dinga khutkoi amut ding ahi. Chuteng miten Jerusalem lam ahindel diu ahi.
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Amaho chu chollou diu chule kipallhulou diu ahi. Kicholdo dinga lamkaha khongailou diu ahi. Akonggah-u jong lhagenglou ding, kengchot khao jong tanlou ding ahi.
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:
Athalchang muh-u hemjetnintin, athallu jong galkap-ding-sadema kikamsaa umding ahi. Asakolteu kengtoa meisi pahhelintin, asakol kangtalaiyu akang jong chimpei banga kipei ding ahi.
29 their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
Keipibahkai ahatpenho banga kithong lenglunga ngih diu ahi. Ngih duldul puma amatdihou chu abokhumuva akilhohphei diu, chuteng ahuhdoh ding koima umlou ding ahi.
30 And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness [and] distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.
Chuche suhchimit nikho lechun asuhlemhou chunga twipi kinong git kithong jeju banga ngih diu ahi. Koiham khattou chun agamlhang chu gah galdot leh muthim le lungjinna mu’ntin; khovah jeng jong meilhanghon alethim jeng ding ahi.
