Isaiah 26
1 In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, —A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,
Hiche nikho teng leh Judah gamsung cheng mijousen hiche la hi asah diu ahi: Ka khopiu hi dettah ahi! Pathen mi huhhingna banghon eium kim velun ahi.
2 Open ye the gates, —That there may enter in—a righteous nation preserving fidelity.
Michonpha hodin kotpi hon peh un; tahsan umtah ho chu lut sah un.
3 A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.
Nangma tahsan ho jouse, lungmong sel'a nakoiding ahin, alunggel jouse nachunga koidet ho chu.
4 Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, —For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.
Pakai chu tahsan jing jengun, ajehchu Pakai Pathen chu tonsot songpi ahi.
5 For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, —He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
Mi kiletsah ho chu asunem jin, khopi kiletsah chu asu lhujin, leivui asojin ahi.
6 The foot trampleth it, —The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,
Mivaicha leh suh genthei a umhon akengtou vin achot phaovin, genthei vaichaho achunga avah leu vin ahi.
7 The path of a righteous man, is, even, —O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
Ahin, michonpha hodin lampi chu aken pon, ajot hahpoije. Thildih jengbol Pathen chu nahin, amalam u lampi nam pet in nalhai.
8 Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, —Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
Pakai, na danthu ho kanit uhin katahsan nao aphongdoh in, namin loupi ding hi kalung ngaichat pennu ahi.
9 With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, —For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
Jan khovah in nangma kaholjin; jingkah teng gunchu tah in Pathen kahol ji. Ajehchu leiset thutanna nahung teng lebou, miten adih chu ahet diu ahi.
10 Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, —And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
Migiloute nangai lut nan thilpha aboldoh deh pouve. Midangin thilpha abol vang'in, migilouten thildih lou abol jingu vin, Pakai loupina chu hetphah in aneipouve.
11 O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, —yet do they not see, Would they might see—and turn pale at a people’s zeal, —Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
Aw Pakai na khuttum dopsang eman agel pou ve. Na mite na huhdoh nomdan chu musah in, chuteng amaho chu jachatna dimdiu ahitai. Na meikong chun nagalmi ho sumang jeng hen
12 O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, —For even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,
Pakai chamna neipeh diu ahi; kabol ka suh bulhit jouseu hi nang jal'a bou ahi.
13 O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, —By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.
Aw Pakai ka Pathen u, midang hon kachung uva vai ahin hom uve, ahin nangma bou nahi keima hon ka hou uchu.
14 The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, —Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.
Kana jen leuho chu athiuvin, aum gam tapouve. A lhagao dalhah hou hung kile talou hel ding ahi! Nangman nasat nin, na sumang gamtai. Amaho chu sottahpi gelphah louvin aumtauve.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
Aw Pakai, kanam u nei semlet peh taove; lentah nei so tao vin ahi. Ka gamgi hou jong nei kehlet peh un, loupina nangma kahin peuvin ahi!
16 O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, —They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
Pakai, lung genthei in nangma kana hol ui. Na thunun pohgihna nanoija kahungtao uve.
17 Like as a woman with child—Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; —
Numei naovop in nao anei na'a na asah a, apenchoi choi banga, Pakai, na umna'a kaum tenguleh kachuti jiu ve.
18 We were with child—We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, —Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born the inhabitants of the world.
Keiho jong lungna in kijel chot chot in ka umun, ahin kagenthei thoh ujong mohseh ahi. Leiset adin huhhingna kape thei pouve, hinna jong vannoi a kapolut thei pouvin ahi.
19 Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, —Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.
Ahin Pakai a thiho chu hung hing diu, atahsau hung thoudoh kit ding ahi! Leiset a imu hochu hungthoudoh diu chuleh kipa jal'a la asah diu ahi. Ajeh chu na hinna-vah kipa chu jingkah daitwi alhah banga namite thi umna munna hunglha ding ahi.
20 Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, —Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
In na cheuvin, kamite, na kot hou kam tup un! Chomkhat adin kisel mangun, Pakai lunghanna akichai masang sen.
21 For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him, —Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
Ven! Leiset mite a chonset jeh un, gotna pedin Pakai chu van'a konin ahungin ahi. Leiset in akithat ho asel jou tah lou ding, mijouse mudinga hung kipuidoh diu ahi.
