Isaiah 49
1 Listen to me, you people of the islands! Pay attention, you who live far away! The Lord called me before I was born; he gave me my name while I was still in my mother's womb.
Agamla gam hoa umjousen kasei ngaijun! Gamla tah’a hon lunglutnin ngaijuvin! Pakaiyin kapen lhah masanga einakou ahitai; naobu sunga kaumna’a Ama’n kamin'a einakou ahitai.
2 The words he gave me to speak are like a sharp sword. He has protected me by covering me with his hand. He put me in his quiver like a sharp arrow, keeping me safe there.
Aman geltoh’a thu kaseiho chu chemjam bangin ahemsah’e. Aman akhut lea eisellin, keima Ama livathei’a thalchang tobang kahi.
3 He told me, “You are my servant, Israel, and I will reveal my glory through you.”
Aman kajah’a: ‘Israel, nangma kalhachapa nahi, chule keima loupina’a neilut pi ding ahi,”tin aseije.
4 But I replied, “I've worked for nothing! I've exhausted myself, and for what? Even so, I leave it with the Lord to do what's right, and my reward is with my God.”
Keima’n ka donbutnin, “Hijongleh katoh hi phatchomna bei abang jenge! Keiman katha hi pana beija mangcha’a le abidoi beija kabang jenge. Hinla keiman aboncha Pakai khutna ngama kahin; kachan ding kipaman Pathen’a ngam ding kahi.
5 Now my Lord is going to speak, the one who formed me in the womb as his servant to bring Jacob back to him, to gather Israel to himself. I am honored in the Lord's sight, and my God has given me strength.
Chule tun Pakaiyin aseijin, Kanu oisunga alhacha dinga eihin gonga, Israel chu Ama koma dinga hinle pui dinga ei’soldohpa ahi. Pakaiyin eijabollin, chule Ka Pathen’in thahatna eipei.
6 He says, “It's nothing much for you to be my servant to bring back the tribes of Jacob, those people of Israel that I've preserved. I'm also going to make you a light for the foreigners so that my salvation may reach everybody.”
Ama’n aseije, “Nangman Israelte chu kahenga dinga na kiledohsah mai maibep ding ahipoi. Keima’n nangma Gentel tedinga vah’a ka pansah ding, chule ka huhhingna chu leiset kolkimvel’a napoh le ding ahitai.
7 This is what the Lord says, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to the one who was despised and detested by the nation, to the one who is the servant of rulers: Kings will see you and stand up, and princes will bow down to you, because the Lord, who is trustworthy, the Holy One of Israel, has chosen you.
Pakai, Huhhingpu le Israel Mithengpa chun namtin vaipi nahsahmo le deilouva kibolpa, vaipo ho lhacha’a pangpa hengah: Nangma na chepetnin lengho chun jana napeh dingu, leng chapate ho jong hung kun ding ahiuve, ajeh chu, Pakai tahsan umtah pa, Israel dinga Athengpa, na deilhenpa jal hiding ahi.
8 This is what the Lord says: I will answer you at the proper time; I will help you on the day of salvation. I will take care of you, and I will give you to the people as my agreement with them, to restore the land and to reassign the parts that have been abandoned.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu: “Aphatcha, keiman kadonbut ding nahi. “Huhhingna nikhoa keiman kalethuh ding nahi. Keiman nangma kavenbitna chule amahoto kakitepna dung jui’a kapeh ding nahi. Nangma’a konna Israel gam avel’a ka tundoh kitding chule amite avella ka nganse kitding ahi.
9 Tell the prisoners, “Come out!” Tell those living in darkness, “Come into the light!” Like sheep they will feed along the roads and in the pastures on hills that once were barren.
Keiman sohchang jah’a, ‘Chamlhatnin hung potdoh'in, chule muthim lah’a umho jah’a, ‘vah sung’a hungin.’ Amaho ka kelngoi hi diu chule mol ho atilla imacha kelouna muna chu ne’a lha le dingu ahitai.
10 They won't be hungry or thirsty, and they won't get hot in the sun, for the one who loves them will lead them to springs, and guide them to water.
Amaho gilkel kit talou dingu chule dangchah kit talou hel dingu ahitai. Nisa satnin amaho aphah kit tahlou hel dingu ahitai. Ajeh iham itileh Pakai Amilungsetna chun amaho apui le dingu; Aman amaho chu twi dap jin jen muna apui ding ahi.
11 I will turn all my mountains into a road; my highways will be really high!
Chule Keiman ka lhang sang ho chu lampia kijotna thei hoa seming ting, sem toh ing ting, chule phaicham ho chung vum'a Kalam lhongpi ho chu kisem ding ahije.
12 Look at these people coming from far away! Look at these people coming from the north, and from the west, and from Upper Egypt.
Vetemin, ka mite chu gamla tah gam'a kona hung kilekit’uvintin, sahlam le lhumlam gam hoa konin, chule Aigupta gam noilam peh’a konna hung ding ahiuve.
13 Heavens, shout for joy! Earth, celebrate! Mountains, sing out in happiness! The Lord has come to care for his people, and he will treat his suffering people kindly.
Vo vanho, kipah in la sauvin! Vo leiset, kipah thanomin umun! Vo Lhangho lasa dingin pohjah jenguvin. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin amite alhamonin chule athoh gim nau chunga akhoton ahi.
14 But Zion said, “The Lord has given up on me; the Lord has forgotten about me.”
Ahijeng vang'in Jerusalem’in aseijin, “Pakaiyin ei nungsun tauve; Pakaiyin ei sumil del tauve,”ati.
15 Really? Can a mother forget her nursing baby? Can she forget to be kind to the child she carried in her womb? Even if she could forget, I will never forget you!
Hinaisai louve! Mi nun acha noichep sah lai asuh mil thei ding hija ham? Aman ahinsa acha chu ngailu louva umthei ding ham? Hijong chu hithei maithei ding hijongleh, Keiman nangho hi suhmil louhel ding kahi.
16 Look at your names I've written on the palms of my hands! I'm always thinking about your walls.
Veuvin, Keiman namin chu kakhut phang teni chunga kajih lut tai. Kalung gel jousea Jerusalem bang kiphelha’amang thahsa ho chu aki lang jinge.
17 Soon your children will come running back. Your destroyers, those that devastated your land, will be gone.
Gangtah’a nachilhah ho chu hung kile kit diu, chule nasumang go jou seu chu chemang diu ahitai.
18 Take a look around. See all your children gathering and coming back to you. As I live, declares the Lord, you will wear them all as jewelry, proudly putting them on like a bride.
Dahdoh unlang chule veuvin, ajeh chu na chateu chu abonuva nahenguva hung kile kit ding ahiuve, Keima kahing jingnai, tin Pakaiyin aseije: Amaho chu kijepnaho le mounu kijepnaho tobanga navetsah ding ahitai.
19 Your ruined towns and abandoned places and devastated lands will be crowded with people, while those who took over your country will be long gone.
Nanghon nanung sun dehset nau nagam leiset’u chu namite kititna mun hung hiding ahitai. Soh’a navul’uva pangho chu gamla tah ‘a che mang diu ahitai.
20 The children born during your time of mourning in exile will say, “This place is too crowded for me! Make room so I have a place to live!”
Akipui mang nauva ana peng khang miteho chu hung kinung le diu chule asei diu chu: Keihon mun kangaicha beuve! Miho atam kitit behseh tauve, tia ahinsei dingu ahi.
21 Then you will say to yourself, “Who gave birth to all these children for me? My children were killed and I was unable to have more; I was exiled and thrown aside—so who brought these children up? Look, I was abandoned, so where did they come from?”
Chuteng leh, nangman, ‘Hiche chilhah ho jouse hi kon einapeh hija ham? tia nalunga nagel ding ahi. Ajeh chu ka chate atamjo pi chu akithat gam'a ahitan, chule amoh chengse chu gam danga kipui manguva ahitai. Keima bou hi hiche muna hi kachang seh’a eikidalha ahibouve. Hiche miteho hi hoiya konna hung hiu vem? Hiche chapangho hi koi hin hiu vem? Keima dinga kon eihin sindohpeh’u ahi dem?
22 This is what the Lord God says, Watch as I give the signal to the nations, as I raise my flag to let everyone know. They will bring them back, carrying your sons in their arms, and lifting your daughters onto their shoulders.
Hiche hi Hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin asei chu ahi, “Ven, Keiman Pathen ngaisah lou nam mite vetsahna kapeh ding ahi. Ama hon nachapa neocha chaho chu abanjal’uva apoh ding’u; nachanu teu chu a lengkou’uva ahin poh dingu ahi.
23 Kings will be your child-minders; queens will be your nurses. They will bow low before you, and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, and that those who put their trust in me will never be ashamed.
Lengho le Lengnu hon najen le dingu chule na ngaichat hou jouse avetsui dingu ahi. Amaho chu tolla hung kun diu chule nakenga vutvai ho chu ahung le ngim diu ahi. Amaho chun Keima Pakai kitipa chu kahin, keima eitahsan ho chu itih chan hijongleh jachatna toh pouvinte.
24 Can loot be taken from a warrior? Can prisoners be rescued from a dictator?
Gal hatpa’a konna athil chomdoh ho chu alahpeh ngam’a koi hija chule gilou tah vaipopa’a konna asohchang chu kon alha doh ding ham?
25 But this is what the Lord says: Even the prisoners of warriors will be won back; even loot will be recovered from a dictator. I will fight with your enemies, and I will rescue your children.
Hinla Pakaiyin aseije:”Gal bolpa sohchangho chu kilhadoh ding, chule gilou tah’a thil kichom doh chu kilemu kit ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangma gal’a nasat ho gal’a kisat ding, chule keiman nachate kahuhdoh ding ahi.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh and drink their own blood like wine. Then everyone will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
Keiman na melmate chu amaho atahsau chu kale nehsah ding ahi. Ama hon athisan’u vadung tobanga long chu adon dingu ahi. Vannoi pum pin Keima, Pakai, na huhhingpa’u le na Chodoh pau, Israel dinga hatchungnung chu kahi.
