Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Lhamong uvin, lhamong uvin kamite, tin na Pathen’uvin aseije.
2 Speak ye [comfort] to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out unto her, that her time of sorrow is accomplished, that her iniquity is atoned for; for she hath received from the hand of the Lord double 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 calleth out, In the wilderness make ye clear the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for 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 Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made a straight path, and the rough places a plain:
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 shall be revealed; and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Chuteng leh Pakai loupina chu hung kilangin tin, hichu mi jousen amusoh kei dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
6 A voice saith, Proclaim; and he saith, What shall I proclaim? all flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as 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 withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely 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 withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God will stand firm for ever.
Hampa agop jin chule apah jong chu amolha jin, hinla I Pathen’u Thuhi tonsotna umjing ahije.
9 Upon a high mountain get thee up, thou that bringest good tidings to Zion; lift up with strength thy voice, thou who bringest good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, [here is] 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 Behold, the Lord Eternal will come with might, and his arm ruleth for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense 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 Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their 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 Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprised in a measure the dust of the earth, and weighed in the scale-beam the mountains, and the hills in balances?
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 Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord? and [who was] his counsellor that he could have given him information?
Pakai Lhagao thumop ngam ding koi hija? Ama thumopma ahiloule ahil dinga koi hin tem?
14 With whom took he counsel, that he gave him understanding, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and caused him to know the way of understanding?
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 Behold, nations are as a drop out of a bucket, and as the small dust of the balance are they accounted: behold, isles are like the flying 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 sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt-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 naught before him; less than nothing, and vanity are they accounted to him.
Vannoija chitin- namtin hohi Ama mitmua pan nabei bep bou ahiuve. Ama mitmua imacha hilouhel, imacha lou- ahomkeo le panabei bep ahi.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Pathen hi koito natekah thei hija ham? Ama to kilou ding amel pua namu khah em?
19 The graven image the artificer hath cast and the goldsmith hath overspread it with gold, and fabricated [on it] silver chains.
Ama chu milim kisem thua sana’a kilhajol le dangka khivuija kijem to tekah thei ahi dem?
20 He that is skilled in the choice chooseth a wood that will not rot; he seeketh unto himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall 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 Know ye not? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not paid attention to the foundations of the earth?
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] that dwelleth above the circle of the earth, while its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
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 That bringeth princes to naught; rendering the judges of the earth as vanity.
Aman vannoi ja alen alal ho achungthu’u atan ding chule abon’uva hi imalou aso ding ahi.
24 Yes, they were not yet planted; yea, they were not yet sown; yea, their stem had not yet taken root in the earth: when he but breathed upon them, and they withered, and the storm-wind carrieth them away as stubble.
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 To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to? saith the Holy One.
Koito neite kahthei monguva? Koi kakibahpi um'em? Tin Athenga kitipa chun aseije.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these? he that bringeth out their host by number; that calleth them all by name; from the Mighty One not one escapeth.
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 wilt thou say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord, and my cause hath passed from the cognizance of my God?
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 Dost thou not know? hast thou not heard? The God of everlasting is the Lord, is the Creator of the ends of the earth; he will not be faint and weary; unsearchable is his understanding.
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 giveth to the faint strength; and to the powerless he imparteth much might.
Aman athalhoma thahat apei chule thilbol joulou di chu boltheina tha apei.
30 Though youths should grow faint and be weary, and young men should utterly stumble:
Khangthahho jeng jong lhadah’uva chule thachol thei diu, chule khangdong pasal ho jeng jong thachol vala lhu lhop jeng thei ahiuve.
31 Yet they that wait upon the Lord shall acquire new strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not become faint.
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.
