< Isaiah 59 >
1 Behold, the hand of YHWH Has not been shortened from saving, Nor His ear heavy from hearing.
Ngaijin! Pakai ban chu nangma huhhing dinga tha lhom’a ahipon, nakouna aw jong chu ajah louna dinga chutia na ngong’a ahidehpoi.
2 But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you—from hearing.
Na chonsetna ho’u hin nangho toh Pathen kikah akhen ahi. Na chonset jeh’u chun, aman amai aheimang leh na taonau angailou ahitai.
3 For your hands have been defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue mutters perverseness.
Na khut hou chu mithana khut ahi bouvin, chule na khut jung hou namset chu chonset bolna ahi. Na kam’uva hungpot jong jouseina dim ahin, chule nakam paovu jong manlou thu ngensen potna ahi.
4 There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
Koima dat neilouva thutah sei le lung theng gelkhoh aumpoi. Miho chung thu kitanna mun jong jou thuho bou aseiju ahi. Amahon thilse ageluvin, chonset ahin hing doh’uve.
5 They have hatched eggs of a viper, And weave webs of a spider, Whoever is eating their eggs dies, and the crushed hatches a viper.
Ama hon thina thei gulse-tui chu aop keo’uvin chule mom pan asa thei’uve. Hiche pan sunga lhalut chan chu thi ding chule amaho gahnai chan chu hamsetna’a lut thei ahi.
6 Their webs do not become a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands.
Apan semu chu ponsil’a akimang theipon, chule athilbol’u jong imacha phatchomna tahbeh ahipoi. Achonna jouseu chonset adimset nin, chule minosop kiti hi amihi nau kihetna ahi.
7 Their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
Akeng phangu jong thilse bolna dingin alhaitho jengun, Chule amaho mithana dingin akal jangun ahi. Chonset bol ding bou agel gelun ahi. Lungkhamna le manthahna’in amaho ajui jinguve.
8 They have not known a way of peace, And there is no judgment in their paths, They have made their paths perverse for themselves, None treading in it has known peace.
Cham-lungmonna hoilaija kimu ding ahi ahepouvin, thil adih’abol le apha bol di jong ahetapouve.
9 Therefore judgment has been far from us, And righteousness does not reach us, We wait for light, and behold, darkness, For brightness—in thick darkness we go,
Hiti chun eimaho lah’a thu adih’a tan kiti hi aum theipon, chule hinkho adih’a man hi ipi ahi ihepouve. Vah iveuvin, hinla muthim bou imuve. Van dangvah iveuvin, hinla athim’a ium’uve.
10 We feel [for] the wall like the blind, Indeed, we feel as without eyes, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
Eiho mitcho bangin banga ikimai’uvin, mit neilou ho tobang'in ilam piu idon jot’uve. Sun nisa emlai jin jong muthimpet tobang'in eiho ikipal’uvin ahi. Mihing gam'a iumlai’un jong athisa tobangbep ihiuve.
11 We make a noise as bears—all of us, And we coo severely as doves; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation—it has been far from us.
Eiho vompi gilkel tobang'in ikitum’uvin, chule lunghel na’a dim vakhu bangin imao’uve. Thu adih’a tan igaldot’uvin, hinla ahung hih beh in; eipan hu ding igaldot’un, hinla hichu eihoa konin gamla tah ahunghi.
12 For our transgressions have been multiplied before You, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities—we have known them.
Ajeh iham itileh ichonset nahou Pathen masanga akisethop jengin chule hichun eiho eidouna akiphongdoh’in ahi. Henge, itobanga chonset bol ihiu ikihet’uve.
13 Transgressing, and lying against YHWH, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.
Eihon Pakai douna le aseilep ma ipan’u ikihetdoh uvin ahi. Eihon I Pathen’u nungsuna ihitauve. Eihon ichan geija kilomlou tah le kidouna lung pua ihiuvem ti chingthei tah’a duha thuh tah’a jou jeng seija ihiu ikihet’uve.
14 And judgment is removed backward, And righteousness stands far off, For truth has been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
Ithutan nau munna chondihna idoudal’un, chule thu adih’a tanna akimu tapoi. Thutah chu lam lenna akiboso in, lungthenna jong dan kalval akihisah tai.
15 And the truth is lacking, And whoever is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And YHWH sees, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
Ahinai, thutah chu achemangin, chule aphalou hotbol chan chu akinokhum khumtai. Pakaiyin ahinven, thu adih’a kitanlou chu alung himo lheh jenge.
16 And He sees that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm gives salvation to Him, And His righteousness—it sustained Him.
Mi khatbeh’in jong akibolsepa pan hu dinga Ama’n amudoh joulou chu adatmo lheh jenge. Hitia hi akibolse chu panpi ding le aban thahatna huhdoh dinga Amatah hung kalsonga ahitai.
17 And He puts on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head, And He puts on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
Amahin chonphatna chu atahsa galmanchah dinga omphoa aneija chule huhhingna lukhuh chu alua akikhuh ahije. Amatah melma phuba lahna galvonna akivonin, chule Pathen khotona chu sangkholchol ‘in Amatah akivontai.
18 According to deeds—so He repays. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the islands He repays [their] deed.
Ama hin amelmate chu athilse abolnau lethuh intin, Alunghanna chu adougal te chunga hung chu ding ahi. Amaho chu leiset kolmong geija lethuhna apeh ding ahi.
19 And from the west they fear the Name of YHWH, And from the rising of the sun—His glory, When an adversary comes in as a flood, The Spirit of YHWH has raised an ensign against him.
Lhumlam gam'a miho chun Pakai min chu ajabol dingu, solama Ama choi’atna apeh dingu ahi. Ajeh iham itileh Ama twisoh lai twi kinong tobanga Pakaijin ahu ahin semdoh ding ahi.
20 “And the Redeemer has come to Zion, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob,” A declaration of YHWH.
Lhatdampu chu Jerusalem’a hung ding Israel sunga achonset nauva konna lungheiho chu anungchoh doh ding ahije, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
21 “And I—this [is] My covenant with them,” said YHWH, “My Spirit that [is] on you, And My words that I have put in your mouth, Do not depart from your mouth, And from the mouth of your seed, And from the mouth of your seed’s seed,” said YHWH, “From now on, even for all time!”
Chule Pakaiyin hiche hi kakitepna hiding ahi:” Ka Lhagaovin amaho dalha tapontin, chule chuche thuho kapehlou beh hija ahi. Hiche thuho chu nangma kamsungle na chapa teu kamsung'a chule na tuteu kamsung'a a’itih’a umjing ding ahi, tin Keima Pakai kitipa hin kaphondoh ahitai.
