Isaiah 48
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob! Ye that are called by the name of Israel; Ye that have come forth from the fountain of Judah; Ye that swear by the name of Jehovah, And praise the God of Israel, But not in truth and sincerity!
Jacob insung mite, Israel mina kikouho le Judah insunga konna pengdoh ho kasei hi ngaijun. Pakai mina kihahsel’a, chule Israel Pathen kou hon ngaijuvin: Bol dinga nakitep nau nabol tapouve.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, And stay themselves on the God of Israel, Whose name is Jehovah of hosts: —
Nangma khopi theng tia na kiminvo jeng vanguvin chule Israel Pathen, Amin chu Pakai Van Sepaite ti’a kingaija na kisei jenguve.
3 What hath happened I declared to you long ago; From my mouth it proceeded, and I made it known; On a sudden I effected it, and it came to pass.
Masang peh’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kseipehsa nahi. Chutah in Keiman phulou helouvin athu katanin, chule kana thusei jouse chu ahung gui lhungtai.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, And that thy neck is a bar of iron, And that thy brow is brass,
Ajeh iham itileh keiman itobang loma louchal le thua nunglou nahi kahen ahi. Na ngong jang chu thih banga nem theilouva ahin, nalu jang jong Hah ngehtah tobanga tah’a ahi.
5 I declared it to thee long ago; Before it came to pass, I made it known to thee; Lest thou shouldst say, My idol effected it, And my graven image, and my molten image ordained it.
Hijeh’a hi ipi hung soh ding ahi kaseipeh ding; ahung guilhun masanga Keiman ipi kabol ding kaseipeh ding nahi. Chutah le nangman, ‘kalim semthu pathen hon abol ahi’ tia na seithei lou ding ahi. Thinga kisem milim le dangka pathen’in thu apeh’ahunglhunga ahitai’ tia nasei thei lou hel ding ahi.
6 Thou hast heard it; now see it all! And will ye not confess it? From this time I make you hear a new thing, Even a hidden thing, which thou hast not known.
Nangman kagao thusei dohho najah’a chule aguilhunna ho namu ahitai, hinla nangman ahinai tia nasei ding na nompoi. Tua hi Keiman, thuguh najah khahlou thilthah ho chu kaseipeh ding nahi.
7 It is produced now, and not long ago; Before this day thou hast not heard of it, Lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew it.
Nangma hon, ‘aphatseh in kahe nauve’ na tilouna dinguva, amaho chu aluiho hilouva, athah leh hiuva ahitai.
8 Yea, thou heardest it not; yea, thou knewest it not; Yea, it was not disclosed to thee long ago; For I knew that thou wast wholly faithless, And wast called rebellious from thy birth.
Henge, Keiman tu masanga nangman najah khahlou thilho thudol abonna athah ahi, thilho thudol chu ka seipeh ding nahiuve. Ajeh chu Keiman nangho hi na penuva patna itobanga mipedoh’a na hiu le doubol na hiu kahet na hitauve.
9 For the sake of my name I will defer my anger, And for the sake of my praise I will restrain it from thee, That I may not utterly cut thee off.
Hijeng jongleh keima jal le kamin jabolna dinga, Keiman kalung hanna ka kituh’a chule ka suhmanghel lou nahiuve.
10 Behold, I have melted thee, and found no silver; I have tried thee in the furnace of affliction.
Keiman ka suhtheng nahiuvin, hinla dangka kilhatheng tobanga kabol nahipouve. Hinla meisa lah’a tobanga bol hesohna’a konna kalhah theng nahiuve.
11 For mine own sake will I do it; For how would my name be blasphemed? And my glory will I not give to another.
Kamin jal'a -keima jal jeh’a, Keiman kahoi doh ding nahiuve! Keiman kamin chena hi kamoh beisah lou ding, chule Ka loupina chu lim-semthu to chan kanei lou ding ahi.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, And Israel, whom I have called! I am He, I am the first, and I the last.
Jacob insung mite, ka lhendoh pen Israel’in kasei hi ngaijuvin! Keima bou Pathen, amasa pen le anunung pen chu kahi.
13 Yea, my hand hath founded the earth, And my right hand hath spread out the heavens; I called them; they stood forth together.
Ka khut tah’a leiset bul ho ka naphudoh’a, ka khut jetlam'a chunga um van hohi ka phajal ahi. Ahsi ho kakou tengleh, amaho abonuva ban neicha hung kigol ding ahiuve.
14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among you hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah loveth will execute his pleasure upon Babylon, And his power upon the Chaldaeans.
Na lim-semthu ho’u chun hiche hi naseipeh khah’uvem? Nabonchauvin hungsoh kei’uvin lang, chule ngai’uvin: Pakaiyin Cyrus chu akigolchat pitai. Ama hin Babylon lengam chu achaina ahin sodoh ding, chule Babylon te galmi hung kitol ho chu asuhmang hel ding ahi.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous.
Keiman kaseisa ahitai: Cyrus chu kakou ahi! Hiche chung chang thua ama palaija ka pansah’a chule ama kalolhinsah ding ahi.
16 Draw near to me, and hear ye this! I spake not in secret from the beginning; And since it began to be, I have been there; And now hath the Lord Jehovah sent me with his spirit.
Hin nailutnun lang chule hiche hi ngaijun. Keiman atil abulla patna kichentah’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kana seipeh nahi tauve. Chule tua hi Pakai thunei chungnung chule aLhagao chun hiche thu poa pang dinga eipansah ahi.
17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am Jehovah, thy God, who teacheth thee what will profit thee; Who leadeth thee in the way thou shouldst go.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei, na Huhhingpu, Israel Mitheng penpa chun, ‘Keima Pakai na Pathen, nangho dinga ipi apha ham ti nahilpa chule najui ding lampia chu napui ja kahi.
18 O that thou wouldst hearken to my commandments! Then shall thy peace be as a river, And thy prosperity as the waves of the sea;
Oh, nanghon kathupeh ho nangai’u hitave leh! Chutileh nanghon chamna chu vadung long banga hunglong intin chule chule chonphatna chu nachunga twikhanglen kinong tobanga nachunga hung kitol lut ding ahi.
19 Then shall thy posterity be as the sand, And the fruit of thy body as the offspring of the sea; Thy name shall not be cut off, nor destroyed before me.
Nachilhah ho chu twikhanlen panga neldiho tama tam dingu-sima sim jou hilou dingu ahi. Na manthaina dingu ahilouleh na insung min’u kisubei talou ding ahitai.
20 Come ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the land of the Chaldaeans with the voice of joy! Publish ye this, and make it known; Let it resound to the ends of the earth! Say: “Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob;
Hiti chun, tu jengin jong na sohchanna’a konin chamlhat hitan. Babylon le Babylon mite chu dalha tan. Hiche thuhi sadoh in! Leiset kolning lia samphongin! PAKAIyin asohte, Israel mipite ahuhdohtai.
21 They thirst not in the deserts through which he leadeth them; Waters from the rock he causeth to flow for them; He cleaveth the rock, and the waters gush forth.
Gamthip gamgo laiya apui sungin amaho adangchah pouve. Aman songpi akehso’in, hiti chun twi chu don dingin ahung putdohtai.
22 There is no peace, saith Jehovah, for the wicked.”
Hinla migilou dingin chamna aumpoi, tin PAKAI chun aseije.
