Isaiah 9
1 For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district 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 hath the light shined.
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, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according 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 the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast broken 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 stamped with fierceness, and every cloak rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Gal thisan nat galsat-ho kengkoh le agalvonhou jong meiya hallhuma umsoh ding, hiho chu mei chapkouva pang diu ahi.
6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
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 That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts doth 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 into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Pakai chun Jacob dounan thu aseitan; athutanna chu Israel chungah alhutai.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
Israel mite le Samaria mite kiletsahtah le kihisahtaha thuseiho chun kihetloiyuhen.
10 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
Amahon, “Chehlhang achimlhaho chu songpeh-in saphau hitin, theiba thingho chu kisatbong gam jongleh, cedar thingin lhenguhite,” tiin aseiyui.
11 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
Hinla Pakaiyin Rezin melmate chu Israel dou dinga ahin puiya amelmateu jouse ahin tildoh ding ahi.
12 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but 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 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Hitobang suhgimna athoh vanguvin Pakai henga kisih-in kile kit pouvinte. Van galsatte Pakai chu ahol dehlou lai diu ahi.
14 Therefore the LORD doth 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 elder and the man of rank, 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 they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Ijeh-inem itileh mipi lamkaiho chun mipi apuikhel tauvin, amaho chun manthahna lampiah apuiyun ahi.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness. For all this His anger is not turned away, but 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 the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds 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 the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up; the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth 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 one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is 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, but 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.
