Isaiah 5
1 Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
Tun keiman kagoldeiya dingin alengpilei lachoinan zaila oiyinge: Kagoldeiyin lhang hoitah chungah lengpilei aneiye.
2 And He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
Alei alhouvin, songho aladoh-in chuleh lengpithei achi hoipenho chu atuin ahi. Alailunga chun insang atungin, anaiya songpi ho panga chun lengpitwi hehna jong atunge. Chuin ama’n lengpithei lhum lophat angah-in, hinlah lengpithei hung gaho chu akha’n ahi.
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
Tun nangho Jerusalem le Judah mite, keima le kalengpithei chungah ngaidan hin peuvin.
4 What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
Kalengpileiya dinga kanabollou ipi kabolbe ding umem? Lengpithei lhum jinjen kagaldot jing laiya, ipi dinga kalengpileiyin atheiga khachehchuh ahin so hintem?
5 And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
Tua hi kalengpilei hi ipi kalo ding ham naseipeh-unge: Keiman atho phelhangting subei tange. Apal volhusohkeiyingting, ganchaho lhalutninge.
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
Gammanglah banga alengpiguijamho kivekollou le kimalngimlouva chuleh hampa kehho kilhoungimlou, ling le khao lah kasosah ding ahi. Meilhangho jeng jong thu kapeh-a gotwi kachapkhumsahlou ding ahi.
7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
Israel nampi hi van galsatte Pakai dinga alengpilei ahi. Judah mite hi alunglhaina honlei ahiuve. Ama’n ahonsoh chu ahididoltaha kithutandihna gaso akineppi vang'in, kisuhgimna gaso joh amutai. Chondihna gaso akineppin, hinla kinah-kibaona awgin ajajotai.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Itobanga lungjin-um ding hitam inmun aban ban’a kichohbea, loumun aban ban’a kichohbea achainakeiya mijouse notdoh-a aumjouva achangseh-a chengho dinga chu.
9 Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!
Keiman kajatai van galsatte Pakai kitepna: “In tampi nusea umding, in hoitahho asung ahomkeova umding.
10 For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.
Lengpilei ching somin lengpitwi bel dim gup jeng jong asodoh joulou ding, amuchi lo dim som helin aga lo dim khatbou asosah ding ahi.”
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them!
Itobanga lungnachim umlou ding hitam jingpitaha thoudoha donding ju holla chuleh jansot geiya lengpitwi donkhamphella tousot nomho dinga chu.
12 And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
Amahon lengpitwi ninglhingtahin akikoiyun nguigin ginngei — semjang, selangdah, khong le theile — tho’n nunnop amangun, Pakai chu ageldoh tapouvin, athilbolho jeng jong ahephatapouve.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Hitia chu Keima eihetphahlou jeh uva kamite chu gamlataha sohchanga umding ahiuve. Alen-alal le jabolla umho chu gilkella thidiu, milhamho chu dangchah-a thidiu ahi.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
Lhankhuh jengin jong aduchan, alol-hom thamhelholin ado’n ahi. Alen le neo chuleh jukhamho chu avallhumsohhel ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Mihem kisubei ding, chuleh miite chu kisunem ding; mikiletsahho jeng jong dahdoh ngamlouva kijumso diu ahi.
16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Hinlah Van galsatte Pakai chu ahina bangtaha kichoisang ding, Pathen athenna chu adihna bangtaha kiphongdoh ding ahi.
17 And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
Chu nikho teng chuleh kelngoite hamhing engsel laha lhauvintin, kelngoi thaotahho le kelchaho khogem laha lhadiu ahi.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
Iti’n ada tadiuvem bongin nunglama kang (kangtalai) akai banga jou le nalla kihol khaoguiya achonsetna hinkikai ding ho tah chu!
19 Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
Amahon Pathen jeng jong ataitomuvin, “Kinon lang ihamkhat bolin! Kinoin, naboltheina chu neimusah-un. Nathilgon chu kamunomuve,” atiuvin ahi.
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Ase chu apha ahi, apha chu ase; athim chu avah ahi’n, avah chu athim ahi; akha chu alhum ahi’n, alhum chu akha ahi; tia seiho suhchimit teidinga lha ahitauve.
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
Iti’n ada tadiuvem ama mitmua ching kisa-a, ama kigella lungthimthemtah kisaho chu.
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Iti’n ada tadiuvem lengpitwi don’a hat kisalheh jenga, adontam chan’a bolthei kisaho chu.
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
Amaho chun miphalouho selkhunan sumguh alauvin, monaneilouho gotna apejiuvin ahi.
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel.
Hijeha chu, meikongin louchul laha changkung akahvama, hamgo meilhum sunga akileogep jeng banga amaho chu ajung geiya monlhauva apah-u chullha ding ahiuve. Ijeh-inem iti leh amahon Van galsatte Pakai danthupehho nahsahmon akoiyun; Israel dinga Athengpa thuseiho ahotbolun ahi.
25 Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
Hijeha chu Pakai lunghanna chun amite chu ahalvama, akhuttum adopma amaho chu aden ding ahi. Chuteng molsangho kilingsoh-intin, mithilongho chu lamlhong dungah nenthangho bangin chaplha jenginte. Ahijengvanga Pakai lunghanna chu dailhadehlou lai ding ahi. Akhuttum kijesa-a umnalai ding ahi!
26 And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
Aman gamlataha namtin vaipi henga melchihna asolding, leiset kolkimvella chengho jah dinga khutkoi amut ding ahi. Chuteng miten Jerusalem lam ahindel diu ahi.
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
Amaho chu chollou diu chule kipallhulou diu ahi. Kicholdo dinga lamkaha khongailou diu ahi. Akonggah-u jong lhagenglou ding, kengchot khao jong tanlou ding ahi.
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
Athalchang muh-u hemjetnintin, athallu jong galkap-ding-sadema kikamsaa umding ahi. Asakolteu kengtoa meisi pahhelintin, asakol kangtalaiyu akang jong chimpei banga kipei ding ahi.
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
Keipibahkai ahatpenho banga kithong lenglunga ngih diu ahi. Ngih duldul puma amatdihou chu abokhumuva akilhohphei diu, chuteng ahuhdoh ding koima umlou ding ahi.
30 And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
Chuche suhchimit nikho lechun asuhlemhou chunga twipi kinong git kithong jeju banga ngih diu ahi. Koiham khattou chun agamlhang chu gah galdot leh muthim le lungjinna mu’ntin; khovah jeng jong meilhanghon alethim jeng ding ahi.
