Isaiah 40
1 “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
Lhamong uvin, lhamong uvin kamite, tin na Pathen’uvin aseije.
2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”
Jerusalem chu lungset neijin kihou piuvin. Alungkham nau nikho sung kichaiya ahitai, chule achonset nau kingaidama ahitai, tin seipeh’uvin. Achonset nau jeh in achan dingu ajat nia engbolna kipeuva ahitai.
3 A voice of one calling: “Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
Ngaipha’n, tin khosam khat aw chun, “Pakai hungna dingin gamthip gam chu sutheng uvin! I Pathen dinguvin lam lhongpi chu sem jangun” tin aseije!
4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground will become smooth, and the rugged land a plain.
Gomkom laiho dip dimun, chule mol le lhangho sunem uvin. Lamkon laiho jansah’uvin, chule abohlaiho ladoh’un.
5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it.
Chuteng leh Pakai loupina chu hung kilangin tin, hichu mi jousen amusoh kei dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
6 A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.
Aw hung ging chun khosam’in, ati. Keiman, “Ipi kasap ding ham”? tia kadoh le, mihem ho hampa bangbep ahiuve, chule amel hoinau jong hi loujaova hampa pah banga kemloi jeng thei ahi, tin samin eiti.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.
Hampa agopjin chule apah jong Pakai Hu’in asem tengleh amollhah ji tobang'in, mihem hinkho jong hi chutia mollha jia ahije.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Hampa agop jin chule apah jong chu amolha jin, hinla I Pathen’u Thuhi tonsotna umjing ahije.
9 Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
O Zion, Kipana Thupha pole, mol chung vum hoa kon’in samin! Hasap in sam’in, Vo Jerusalem. Kichatna neilou hellin, Judah khotinna, ‘Na Pathen hung ding ahitai,’ tin seipeh in.
10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.
Ahije, thanei pen Pakai thuneitah in ahunge. Ama’n aban’jang thahatna vai ahinpoh ding ahi. Ven, Ama ahung tengleh tohman ahin choipeh ding ahije.
11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.
Aman kelngoi’chingpa tobanga kelngoiho chu avah ding; Aman anou ho chu abanna akipom ding, a opma akipom ding ahi. Aman kelpi ho chu anoute to olcha cha apuiji ding ahi.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?
A khutna twikhanglen ho tuh jou dinga koidang umem? Akhut jung hoa vanho tetoh jou ding koi umem? Koi dangin leiset agihdan hetna aneija, ahilouleh mole lhangho Phala a tetoh thei ding koi hin tem?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?
Pakai Lhagao thumop ngam ding koi hija? Ama thumopma ahiloule ahil dinga koi hin tem?
14 Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?
Pakaijin athumop ding mi angaichat khah em? Apha ahi ti ahetna dinga hil ngai ja ham? Mi khat touvin apha aseipeh ngai hija, ahiloule adih’a chena ding lampi ama avetsah ding ham?
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
Hilouve, ajeh chu vannoi chitin-namtin hi Ama dia twithei’a twi vatkhat tobangbep ahiuve. Mihem tehi thiltena ho chunga vutvai tobangbep bou ahiuve. Ama ding’in leiset pumpi hi akhutna nel hal khat alah tobangbep ahi.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
Lebanon gam manga thingho jouse le Lebanon’a gamsa umho jouse chu I Pathen’u henga govam thilto dinga jong bulhing jou lou ding ahiuve.
17 All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.
Vannoija chitin- namtin hohi Ama mitmua pan nabei bep bou ahiuve. Ama mitmua imacha hilouhel, imacha lou- ahomkeo le panabei bep ahi.
18 To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?
Pathen hi koito natekah thei hija ham? Ama to kilou ding amel pua namu khah em?
19 To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
Ama chu milim kisem thua sana’a kilhajol le dangka khivuija kijem to tekah thei ahi dem?
20 To one bereft of an offering who chooses wood that will not rot, who seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple?
Ahilouleh miho chu chuti loma vaicha ahiuleh, amon lou ding thing kilhenu hen chule akhut them khatnin adet dingin milim hinsem doh hen!
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth?
Nanghon najah khah louvu hija? Hekhen them theilou nahiu vem? Pathen Thu angaisah lou mong nahiu vem- vannoi um masang peh’a thuho napeh’u hi ahetna helou mong nahiu vem?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Pathen chu leiset kikol lum chunga atouve. Amit mun noi lama um mihem te hi khaukho ho tobangbep ahiuve! Ama’n van tham jol hi pondal tobanga ahin jahdoh in, chule hiche hoa konna Ama’n aponbuh atundoh ahije.
23 He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless.
Aman vannoi ja alen alal ho achungthu’u atan ding chule abon’uva hi imalou aso ding ahi.
24 No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.
Amaho hung kipan panbep’uva, jungkho kigopan bep’uva ahin, Aman amaho ahua asem’a ahileh agop lha gam tauvin, huijin amaho chu changvai alhoh bangin alhoh mangtai.
25 “To whom will you liken Me, or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.
Koito neite kahthei monguva? Koi kakibahpi um'em? Tin Athenga kitipa chun aseije.
26 Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
Vanho vetem’in. Ahsiho jouse khu koi sem hin tem? Ama’n amaho khu galmi bangin bannei chan ahin goldoh in, amin cheh’uva akousoh keije. Athuneina loupi jallin chule ate pibei thahatna nei ahijeh'in, khat cha jong amah thah aumpoi.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God”?
Vo Jacob, iti danna Pakai hin nagim-hesohna ho amupoi tia naseithei hijaham? Vo Israel, iti danna Pakai hin nachan ding kihetmo sah dia nasei thei hija ham?
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.
Najah khah lou hel hiya ha? Nahet khen theilou hel hiya ham? Pakai hi Tonsotna um Pathen ahin, vannoi apumpia Sempa ahi. Ama thabei jin aum ngaipon, ahilouleh athachol ngaipoi. Athil hetkhen themdan koiman akholdoh joupoi.
29 He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
Aman athalhoma thahat apei chule thilbol joulou di chu boltheina tha apei.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.
Khangthahho jeng jong lhadah’uva chule thachol thei diu, chule khangdong pasal ho jeng jong thachol vala lhu lhop jeng thei ahiuve.
31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
Hinla Pakai tahsan ho chun thahatna thah amu dingu ahi. Amaho chu muvanlai tobanga lhavinga leng sang dingu ahi. Ama ho chu lhai dingu chule thachol ahetlou dingu ahi. Amaho chu che dingu chule thachol val ahet louhel dingu ahi.
