Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Hijongle tuhin kalhachapa Jacob, kalhendohpa Israel kasei ngaijin.
2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Pakai nasempa le napanpi chun aseije: Kicha hih in, Vo Jacob, kasohpa. Kalungset vo Israel, kalhendoh penpa.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
Ajeh chu keiman nadangchah dangnou sahna dingin twi kahinsun lhah ding chule naloulai ju aleiset goho chu boltheina dinga twi kahin nensah ding ahi. Chule keiman ka lhagao nason-nachilhah ho’u chunga ka Lhagao kabuhlhah ding ahi.
4 and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Amaho hi twi kichapnou ham hing tobang ding, vadung pama huisum thing phung tobang diu ahi.
5 One shall say, I am the LORD’S; and another shall call [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
Abangho chun kiletsah tah’a, “Keima Pakaiya kahi,”atidingu ahi. Adangho chun, “Keima Jacob chilhah kahi,”atidiu ahi. Mi abang khatloi chun Pakai min chu akhut chunguva ajih dingu chule Israel min chu ama hoa akisan dingu ahitai.
6 Thus saith the LORD, the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseichu- Israelte Lengpa le Huhhingpu chu, Vanna Pakai galmi ahiuve, ati dingu:
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare.
Keitobang koi umham? Ama chun malama kal hin song hen chule athuneina photchenna hinpe hen. Keiman phat masa laiya kana phudetna chule akhonung ding kana phudohsa peh tobang'in ama jong chun boldoh hen.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not declared unto thee of old, and shewed it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no Rock; I know not any.
Tijat bol hih un, kicha hihbeh un. Keima masang peh’a nangho dinga Pathen dang koi umem? Kalung gon kaphondohsa hita lou ham? Nangho hi Keima het tohsah’a panga nahiuvin- Pathen adang um mong em? Songpi dang aumpoi- khat jeng jong aumpoi.
9 They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit: and their own witnesses see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Milim semtu sema pangho itobang tah’a ngol hiu vem? Asahlut tah hou hi aphatchomna bei ahi. Milim semthu houhon hiche hi ahepouvin, hijeh’a hi abonchauva kisum souva ahi.
10 Who hath fashioned a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Koiham angol’a ahilouleh pathen akisem thu thei ding ham? Milim kisemthu khatnin themcha’a jong akithopi theilou hija ahi.
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be ashamed together.
Milim semthu hou ho, adeh’a asema pang ho hi jachat umtah ahiuvin- mihem mai mai bep ahiuvin-pathen kasem thei diu ahi tin akithang at’uvin ahi. Amaho pang khom theinau vinte, hinla amaho hi tijatna le jachatna mun’a hung ding diu ahiuve.
12 The smith [maketh] an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Chuphatnin, thih khengpa chu ameisa akonin manchah hemtah sem dingin adingdoh in, athaneina pumpi panin thih chu akhengin chule adei bangin asemin ahi. Anatoh jallin ama agil kellin chule alhachomin, chule hichun adangchah sah in chule alhadah jengtai.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and shapeth it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in the house.
Chuphatnin, thingthem bolpa chun thing bong ho chu ate tohna alan, chule agol kaina’a chun gol akaijin, atetoh in chule agongso chu aumdoh sahtai. Aman chah hemtah chu apanin chule atoltoh in, hiti chun mihem limin ahin semdoh in, mihem’hoina limpun asem’in, chuin a pathen houna in na neo sunga chun akoitai.
14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the holm tree and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest: he planteth a fir tree, and the rain doth nourish it.
Ama’n Cedar thingho chu aphuh ‘in, kheng thing le khongnang thing phung chu alhengdoh in, chah thing chu gam mang lah’a aphutnin chule go hung ju lha chun achap nou jin ahi.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread: yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
Chujouvin aman thing go phabep chu meiya atih’in, hiche chu aman aki’oijin chule aching lhah jong akisem’in ahi. Chutah in amoh chengse chu pathen’na houthei dingin akisemin, hiche alim semthu masanga chun akuntai.
16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Ama’n thing phabep chu atih kouvin, sa chu akigon, chule oi jong aki’oijin, hiche meisa hi anom’e, tin aseitai.
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
Chujouvin aman thing amoh chengse chu ala’n, semthu pathen’lim akisuitai. Chuche masanga chun adilsun, ahouvin chule ahenga chun ataove: “Nei huhdoh in, nangma ka-pathen nahi” tin aseije.
18 They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Hibang lom’a ngol chonna le hetna neilou hi! Amitnu asin jeh un, amuthei tapouve. Alungu akihonlou jeh in, agelthei tapouve.
19 And none calleth to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Alim semthu sema panga jong chun, “hiche hi thinggo kisem thua ahibouve!” Mei luma tidingin akeh khat kahaltai, chule kachang lhah kanna ding le sagomina dingin kamangtai. Iti danna amoh chengse chu pathen kisohthei ding hija? Keiman thing amoh um chu Pathen houva kahou ding hija ham? tia lunga dattohna jong aneipoi!
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
Mi vaicha chu ahilou hel atahsan sah un, mi ngol vutvaija kivah ahi. Apanpi theilou hel ding khat chu atahsan ahitai. Hinla, “Hiche lim kisem thu kakhutna katuh hi jou thubuh hilou ham?”tia amachang kidohna aneithei dehpon ahi.
21 Remember these things, O Jacob; and Israel, for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
Vo Jacob, lung gillin ngaiton, ajeh chu nangma kalhacha nahi, vo Israel. Keima Pakai, nasempa kahin, chule Keiman kasuhmil louhel ding nahi.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Keiman mei bang kitol to banga nachonsetna ho katol mangtai. Keiman nasuhkhel ho chu jingkah daitui tobang'in kanoimang gam ahitai. Oh kahenga hungkile kitnin, ajeh chu nangma chamlhatsah dinga keiman aman kapehchai ahitai.
23 Sing, O ye heavens, for the LORD hath done it; shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
Vo Vanho, vahchoina la sauvin, ajeh chu Pakaiyin thil kidangtah aboltai. Kipah thanomin samuvin, leiset noi lama hon jong! Vo lhangsangho le gammang ho chule thingphung tinin, La hinsa doh uvin! Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Jacob ahuhdoh in chule Israel lah’a choi’atnin aumtai.
24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am the LORD, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth; who is with me?
Hiche hi Pakai na Huhhingpa le na Sempa chun, “Keima hi Pakai thil jouse sempa chu kahi. Keiman van hohi kapha jal ahi. Leiset kasempetna kakoma koi umem? Tia asei ahi.
25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish:
Keiman themgao lhem ho chu mijou ahiuve tia kasosal’a chule thil hung lhung dia gaova thusei ho mingol ho kati ahi. Keiman miching ho chu thumopna phalou kapeh’a, hitia chu amaho chu angolnau kaphot chet ahitai.
26 that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof:
Hinla ka themgao ho thuphon chu kasuh bulhit peh in ahi! Amaho chu Kaman chah’a Jerusalem jah’a, “Miho ho chu hiche muna hi chengkit ding ahiuvin chule Judah khopi hoa, “Nangho kisadoh kit ding nahiuvin, nanei amangho kahin kiledohsah kit ding nahiuve,” tia kaseipeh ahi.
27 that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
Keiman vadung ho jah’a, “Kang tauvin,” kati teng, kang jeng diu ahitai.
28 That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Cyrus jah’a chu, “Ama ka Kelngoichingpa ahi, tia kasei teng, kasei tobanga aman aboltei ding hija ahi. Aman thu apeh’a, “Jerusalem sapha kitnun, atiding: ‘Hou’In sempha kit’uvin,’tia aseiding ahije.
