Isaiah 40
1 Give comfort, give comfort, to my people, says your God.
Lhamong uvin, lhamong uvin kamite, tin na Pathen’uvin aseije.
2 Say kind words to the heart of Jerusalem, crying out to her that her time of trouble is ended, that her punishment is complete; that she has been rewarded by the Lord's hand twice over 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 crying, Make ready in the waste land the way of the Lord, make level in the lowland a highway for our God.
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 Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low, and let the rough places become level, and the hilltops become a valley,
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 made clear, and all flesh will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has said it.
Chuteng leh Pakai loupina chu hung kilangin tin, hichu mi jousen amusoh kei dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
6 A voice of one saying, Give a cry! And I said, What is my cry to be? All flesh is grass, and all its strength like the flower 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 becomes dry, the flower is dead; because the breath of the Lord goes over it: truly the people is 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 is dry, the flower is dead; but the word of our God is eternal.
Hampa agop jin chule apah jong chu amolha jin, hinla I Pathen’u Thuhi tonsotna umjing ahije.
9 You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, 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 See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before 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 will give food to his flock like a keeper of sheep; with his arm he will get it together, and will take up the lambs on his breast, gently guiding those which are with young.
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 In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?
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 By whom has the spirit of the Lord been guided, or who has been his teacher?
Pakai Lhagao thumop ngam ding koi hija? Ama thumopma ahiloule ahil dinga koi hin tem?
14 Who gave him suggestions, and made clear to him the right way? who gave him knowledge, guiding him in the way of wisdom?
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 See, the nations are to him like a drop hanging from a bucket, and like the small dust in the scales: he takes up the islands like small 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 And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned 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; even less than nothing, a thing of no value.
Vannoija chitin- namtin hohi Ama mitmua pan nabei bep bou ahiuve. Ama mitmua imacha hilouhel, imacha lou- ahomkeo le panabei bep ahi.
18 Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?
Pathen hi koito natekah thei hija ham? Ama to kilou ding amel pua namu khah em?
19 The workman makes an image, and the gold-worker puts gold plates over it, and makes silver bands for it.
Ama chu milim kisem thua sana’a kilhajol le dangka khivuija kijem to tekah thei ahi dem?
20 The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.
Ahilouleh miho chu chuti loma vaicha ahiuleh, amon lou ding thing kilhenu hen chule akhut them khatnin adet dingin milim hinsem doh hen!
21 Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? has not news of it been given to you from the first? has it not been clear to you from the time when the earth was placed on its base?
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 It is he who is seated over the arch of the earth, and the people in it are as small as locusts; by him the heavens are stretched out like an arch, and made ready like a tent for a living-place.
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 makes rulers come to nothing; the judges of the earth are of no value.
Aman vannoi ja alen alal ho achungthu’u atan ding chule abon’uva hi imalou aso ding ahi.
24 They have only now been planted, and their seed put into the earth, and they have only now taken root, when he sends out his breath over them and they become dry, and the storm-wind takes them away like dry grass.
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 Who then seems to you to be my equal? says the Holy One.
Koito neite kahthei monguva? Koi kakibahpi um'em? Tin Athenga kitipa chun aseije.
26 Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.
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, such words as these, O Israel, The Lord's eyes are not on my way, and my God gives no attention to my cause?
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 Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.
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 feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force.
Aman athalhoma thahat apei chule thilbol joulou di chu boltheina tha apei.
30 Even the young men will become feeble and tired, and the best of them will come to the end of his strength;
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 are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.
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.
