Isaiah 42
1 Behold, My servant, I take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
Kalhachapa, keiman thahatna kapeh pachu veuvin. Ama kadeilhenpa eilung lhaipen’a chu ahi. Keiman Kalhagao asunga kakhumpeh tai. Aman chitin-namtin lah’a thu adih’a atan ding ahi.
2 He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
Aman kho sampon tin, mipi lah’a jong aw sanga thu aseilou ding ahi.
3 A bruised reed He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
Aman pumpeng chip jong ahebohpai lou ding chule khoilu thaomeipat akhulai jong asuhmit pai jeng lou ding ahi. Aman alamlouva kibol ho jong abonchauva chunga thu adih’a atan ding ahi.
4 He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope for His law.
Leiset pumpia thu adih’a vaihomna aum masang sea, Ama lhasam pontin, lung jong lunglha lou ding ahi. Gamla tah’a gamho twikhanglen gal lama hon jong ama thupeh anga diu ahi.
5 Thus said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
Pakai Pathen’in vanho asem’in chule apha jal lin ahi. Aman leiset le asunga umjouse asem’in ahi. Ama’n mi jouse haitheina hu ape’in, leiset chunga vahthei jouse hinna apeh ahi.
6 I, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
Pakai kiti Keima, kachonphatna vetsah dinga kakou nahi. Keiman nangma kakhutna kapuija chule kahonbit nahin, chule kamite Israel te henga kapeh nahi hi keima toh amaho kakitepna vetsahna khat ahitai. Chule nangma chitin-namtin puihoi lea napan ding ahije.
7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
Nangman mitcho ho kho namusah ding, sohchang ho songkulla konna nacham lhatsah ding chule songkul thim lah’a touho chamlhat sah ding nahi.
8 I [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
Keima Pakai kitipa chu Kamin ahi! Ka loupina chu koima dang kapehdoh lou ding, chule eivahchoi nau semthu milim ho chuto chan kaneitha lou ding ahi.
9 The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
Gao thuseina kanei chasun aguilhung cheh in, chule tun keiman gao thu kasei kit ding ahi. Ahung guilhun masanga khonung thudol kaseipeh ding nahi.
10 Sing a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
Pakaija lathah sauvin! Ama vahchoina ho leiset kolning lia chenghon sauvin! Twikhang len hoa kongtol ho le nangho twikol gam mun gam latah’a chengho geijin jong nabonchauvin la sauvin.
11 The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
Gamthipma um khopiho lachom kisahna’a jao’uvin; Kedar khoho jong kipah uhen. Sela mite hon kipah in la sauhen; lhangchung vum hoa konin vahchoina ho sap thouvin!
12 They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they declare His praise in the islands.
Vannoi pumpin Pakai chu loupina peuhen; Avahchoina sauhen.
13 YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.
Mihat chungnung tah tobang'in PAKAIchu kipandoh intin, galsatpa tobanga lunghang tah’a kondoh ding ahi. Aman galsatna dinga kholhang asapma, amelmate jouse achilgoi ding ahi.
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up together.
Ama’n, Keima sottahpi kathip beh anahita’n, ahinai, keima hi kana kikangse anahi. Hinla tua hi naosonat thoh minu khat tobanga kapenna chule kakhoisatna, chule ka-eo’jah jeng ding ahitai.
15 I make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
Keiman lhangsang ho le mol ho chu kasuhcham ding chule a’eng jin jen ho kasuhmangpeh ding ahi. Keiman vadung ho chu tolgolai kaso ding chule twi kiveina mun jouse chu kangsoh ding ahiuve.
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
Keiman khomulou Israel chu lampi thah’a kapuile ding, ache khahlou nauva kapui le ding ahi. Keiman amasangu lampi thim jong kavahsah ding, chule amasangu lampi kanamsah ding ahi. Hitia hi keiman hichengse hi kabol ding, amaho kanungsun lou dingu ahi.
17 Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
Hinla semthu milim tahsan ho, nangho ka pathenu nahi tiho chu, jacha’a kihei mang ding ahiuve.
18 You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to see.
Na’ngong hon ngaijun, mitcho nang hon veuvin, muchen’un.
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
Kamite, tobanga mitchoa kasoh, koi um’em? Ka sottol tobanga na ngonga koi umem? Kalhendoh mite, Pakai sohpa, tobanga mitcho koi um’em?
20 Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
Nangman adih chu ipi ham? ti namun chule nahedoh jengin, hinla hiche chu nabolnom hih in ahi. Na nabeng’a najanai, hinla jahchet ding nagopoi.
21 YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
Pakai chu chondih tah ahijeh'in, Athu loupitah chu achoi’an tai.
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
Hinla Amite chu aneiyu achom’un chule asuhmang peh’un, asohchang un, songkul'a’a ahenun, chule thang kolla a’oh gam tauve.
23 Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
Hiche thuhi koiyin thusim’a kona angaija, ahetdoh thei’ uva chule khonunga thil hung kisumang dingho nanga diu ham?
24 Who has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened to His law.
Israel chu chomgam dingle suhkhah dinga phatsah koi ham? Ama douna’a ichonset jeh’uva Pakai chun aphal jeh ahi. Ajeh chu miho chu Alamlhah a che nom hih’uva, A Danthu jong ajui nom lou jeh’u ahi.
25 And He pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
Hijeh’a hi Alunghanna chu achunguva abuhlhah’a, chule gal’a atha’u ahi. Amaho chu meilhum sunga akilelut jeng vanguvin, hetdoh ding agopouve. Amaho meikouva akihal jeng vang’un, chihnan aneideh pouve.
