< Isaiah 58 >

1 Give a roar from the throat! Don't hold back! Shout out like a trumpet! Announce to my people how rebellious they are; denounce to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
Sumkon kimut awgin tobang'in Sam’in. Samphongin! Kichase hih in. Kami Israel te achonset’u seipeh in.
2 Every day they come to me, pleased to know my ways as if they were a nation that does what is right and follow the laws of their God! They ask me to treat them right; they like to be close to their God.
Hijeng jongleh amaho pathen-ngaisah toh akilou’uve! Niseh in hou’In’a ahunguvin chule kathu aboncha het nomna nei hileu akilouve. Amaho chonphat bol nam, Pathen dan thuho nungsun khaloudi tobang'in achonuve. Amahon thutah chondan ho angeh jiuvin, Pathen hinnai ding jong athanomun ahi.
3 “Didn't you see that we fasted?” they ask. “Didn't you notice how we denied ourselves?” That's because whenever you fast you still do whatever you want, and you treat your workers badly.
Amaho’n, “Na’masanga an kangol’uvin, Idia ima’agel louva naum ham? Keiho tah kaki ham bol lheh’uvin, nangman neihet peh hih’uve!” “Ajeh ipi ahi kaseipeh ding nahiuve; “Nangho kilunglhaina bep dinga an ngol’a nahi uve. Na an ngol pet uvin jong nanatong teu chu nabol hesoh jom nalai’uve,” tin keiman kaseipehtai.
4 Can't you see that when you're fasting you quarrel and argue, and end up having a vicious fist-fight? When you fast like this you can't expect your prayers to be heard on high!
Nanghon kinah le kinelna nanei’uleh, an ngol ipi phachom ding hitam? Hitia nanghon an nangol’uleh keima toh ipia phatchomna namu dingu ham?
5 Is this the kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?
Nanghon longlau-phung huijin amut on tobang'in, na lungthim’uva kiseh gimna naneijun, kineosah tah in nalu’u nakunsah’uvin ahi. Nanghon khaodip pon naki’ah uvin, chule nalu’uva vutvai nakithe’uve. Hiche hi anngol natiu chu hija ham? Nangho lunggel’a hiche hohin Pakai lunglhai inte nati mong mong’u ham?
6 No, this is the fast I want: set free those who have been unjustly imprisoned, untie the cords of the yoke used to burden people, set free those who are oppressed, and get rid of every form of abuse.
Ahipoi, Keiman kadeilhen anngol chu: Alam louva songkul’a kikhum ho chu lhadohna ding, nangho natonga pang ho chu apoh gih’u ngai-jang peh’a, akibol gim ho chamlhat sah ding, akihen ho chu akihen nau thihkhao sutlhap peh ding chu ahije.
7 Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house. When you see people naked, give them clothes, and don't reject your own relatives.
Na anneh’u chu agilkel din kheh’unlang, innei lou chu nalima kicholdo hen. Ponsil ngaicha ho napon hou peuvin lang chule napanpi ngaicha nasopite ho’a konin kihei mang hih in.
8 Then your light will shine out like the dawn, and you will be healed quickly; your salvation will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will go behind you.
Chutengleh huhhing nachanna chu khovah bangin hung vahdoh intin, chule nakisuh khahna maha chu dampai jeng ding ahi. Pathen na ngaisahna chun na masot nintin, chuteng Pakai loupina chun nanung lam hongbit nante.
9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out for help, the Lord will say, “I'm here.” If you get rid of oppression among you, if you stop pointing the finger and slandering others,
Chuteng leh, nangman nakou phat phatleh Pakaiyin nadonbut ding, nangman samin natin, Aman hikoma kaume tia ahin houpai jeng ding ahi. Akibol hesoh te namkol pohgih tah chu lalhan. Mi oimona khut junga nako ji le thangthipma na-thusei ho ngan.
10 if you dedicate yourselves to helping the hungry and give the poor what they need, then your light will shine out in the darkness, and your night will be like the sun at noon.
Agilkel nehding pen, chule hahsatna toh ho panpin. Chutah le navah chu muthim lah’a hung vahdoh intin, chule na kimvella muthim chu sunlai banga hung vahdoh ding ahi.
11 The Lord will always lead you; he will give you all you need in you in a desolate land; he will make you strong again. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry.
Pakaiyin na pui jom jing ding, na dang got tengleh donding twi na pentin chule natha akiledohsah kit ding ahi. Nangma twi kichap jing honlei tobang nahi ding, twinah kanglou tobang nahi ding ahije.
12 Some among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore generations-old foundations. You will be called the Repairer of the Break in the Wall, the Restorer of Life's Pathways.
Na lah’uva mi phabep chun na khopiu agemsa ho chu athah sahphat kit dingu ahi. Chuteng leh nangma chu khopi bangho sapha’a le inchen ho kiledohsahpa’a nakihe ding ahitai.
13 If you make sure you don't break the Sabbath by doing whatever you please on my holy day, if you say the Sabbath brings you pleasure and the Lord's day is to be honored, and if you honor it by leaving aside your own ways, by not doing whatever you please, and by avoiding everyday chatting,
Sabbath nikho chu thengsellin nitnin. Hiche Sabbath nikhoa nabol jousea anikho chu jabollin lang, chuche nia chun na deilam lam’in chon hih in.
14 then you'll find the Lord is the one who truly makes you happy, and I will give you high positions on the earth and give you what I promised to Jacob, your forefather. I, the Lord, have spoken.
Chutengleh Pakai chu na lunglhaina hung hiding ahitai. Keiman sangtah’a nangma kajabol’a, chule na pului’u Jacob gamlo ding kateppeh chu nalungna kimding ahije, tia Keima Pakaiyin kaseidoh ahitai.
