Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless the darkness shall not be as when the distress was in the [land], at the time he at first lightly, and afterwards heavily, visited the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, — 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 that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them light hath shone.
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 Thou hast multiplied the nation, hast increased its joy: they joy before thee like to the joy in harvest; as [men] rejoice when they divide the spoil.
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 thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, 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 every boot of him that is shod for the tumult, and the garment rolled in blood, shall be for burning, fuel for fire.
Gal thisan nat galsat-ho kengkoh le agalvonhou jong meiya hallhuma umsoh ding, hiho chu mei chapkouva pang diu ahi.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, 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, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts 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 unto Jacob, and it lighteth upon Israel.
Pakai chun Jacob dounan thu aseitan; athutanna chu Israel chungah alhutai.
9 And all the people shall know [it], Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart,
Israel mite le Samaria mite kiletsahtah le kihisahtaha thuseiho chun kihetloiyuhen.
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamore trees are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.
Amahon, “Chehlhang achimlhaho chu songpeh-in saphau hitin, theiba thingho chu kisatbong gam jongleh, cedar thingin lhenguhite,” tiin aseiyui.
11 And Jehovah will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and arm his enemies,
Hinla Pakaiyin Rezin melmate chu Israel dou dinga ahin puiya amelmateu jouse ahin tildoh ding ahi.
12 the Syrians on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, and 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 But the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and they do not seek Jehovah of hosts.
Hitobang suhgimna athoh vanguvin Pakai henga kisih-in kile kit pouvinte. Van galsatte Pakai chu ahol dehlou lai diu ahi.
14 And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day:
Hijeha chu Pakaiyin alua pat amei geiya lusu-bahho le pumpengho nikhatleh asatlhah ding ahi.
15 the ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Israel lamkaiho chu alu ahi’n, themgaoho chu amei ahi.
16 For the guides of this people mislead [them]; and they that are guided by them are swallowed up.
Ijeh-inem itileh mipi lamkaiho chun mipi apuikhel tauvin, amaho chun manthahna lampiah apuiyun ahi.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice in their young men, neither will he have mercy on their fatherless and on their widows; for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, and 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 burneth as a fire: it devoureth briars and thorns, and kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they go rolling up like a pillar 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 wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burned up, and the people is as fuel for fire: a man spareth not 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 and he snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry, and eateth on the left hand; and they are not satisfied. They eat every man 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, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; [and] they together are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, and 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.
