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 comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; that she hath received of the LORD’S hand 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 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our 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 exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places 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 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof 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 bloweth 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 shall stand for ever.
Hampa agop jin chule apah jong chu amolha jin, hinla I Pathen’u Thuhi tonsotna umjing ahije.
9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain: O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, 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 GOD will come as a mighty one, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence 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 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, he shall gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that give suck.
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 the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
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 directed the spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Pakai Lhagao thumop ngam ding koi hija? Ama thumopma ahiloule ahil dinga koi hin tem?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him 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, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
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 to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a 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 nothing before him; they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
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, a workman melted [it], and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth [for it] silver chains.
Ama chu milim kisem thua sana’a kilhajol le dangka khivuija kijem to tekah thei ahi dem?
20 He that is too impoverished for [such] an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to set up 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 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from 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 sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth 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 nothing; he maketh 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 Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh 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 him]? 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, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
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 sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed away from 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 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of 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 power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
Aman athalhoma thahat apei chule thilbol joulou di chu boltheina tha apei.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Khangthahho jeng jong lhadah’uva chule thachol thei diu, chule khangdong pasal ho jeng jong thachol vala lhu lhop jeng thei ahiuve.
31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not 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.
