Isaiah 41
1 Be silent [and hearken] unto me, O ye Coastlands, And let the Races of Men renew their strength, —Let them approach, then, let them speak, Together, for controversy, let us draw near: —
Twikhanglen gallam sanga um gamho, kam'a sanga thipbeh in umun, kingai phat cheh uvin. Nalung lhailou nau pipen chu hin polut’un. Tuhin hunguvin lang chule seijun. Nachung thu’u kitanna ding mun gontup ahitai.
2 Who roused up one from the East, In righteousness, called him to his feet, —Set before him nations And over kings, caused him to rule, His sword, made [them] like dust, His bow like driven chaff:
Solam gam’a kona hiche Lengpa hi, Pathen kinbol thei dinga koi hin tildoh hija ham? Hichepa hin chitin- namtin galla ajo ding chule alenghou jong akeng toa noigep dinga phalna pea chu koi hin tem? Achem jam’in agalmi ho chu huilah’a vutvai aso jenge. Huijin changvai athemang bangin ama’n athalpia amaho chu athe chehtai.
3 He pursued them passed along safely, —Upon the path of his own feet, entered he not?
Achena khahlou tol chu ahojeng vang'in, amaho chu ano mang soh keijin chule bitkei jin achepeh’e.
4 Who hath wrought and performed, Calling the generations, in advance? I, Yahweh, [who am] First, And with them who are last, I, am the Same!
Phat akipat til’a patna khang hung lhung nalai dingho chunga hat tah’a tonga kou khom’a chu koi ahidem? Hiche hi keima Pakai, apatna le chaina, Keima kiti bou hi Kahi.
5 Coastlands have seen, so they fear, The ends of the earth, are in dread, —They have drawn near, and have come:
Twikhanglen gal lama gam ho chun tijatah'in aveuve. Leiset mong lama umho jong atija’uvin chule galbol din akitil’uve.
6 Every man, to his neighbour, giveth help, —And to his brother, saith Take courage!
Milim semho jong akitil toh’uvin, khat le khat akihou uvin, “Lungam’un!” akitiuve.
7 So, the carver, hath encouraged, the goldsmith, he that maketh smooth with the hammer, him that smiteth the anvil, —Saying of the welding, It is, good, Then hath he fastened it with nails—it must not totter!
Khut them bolpan sana khengpa atilkhouvin, chule sehcha khenga pangpa chun thih khengpa atilkhouvin, Aphatai, ahung hoilheh jengtai, tin aseijuve. Chingthei tah in amahon asutouvin, akilonga le adet loulai umlouna dingin ama hon akil detchetnuve.
8 But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, —The seed of Abraham my loving one;
Hinla kagolpa Abraham’a kona hung kikhai lha Jacob kalhen doh jal'a hi, Israel nangma kalhacha nahije.
9 Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, And from the extremities thereof, have called thee, —And said to thee, My Servant, thou! I have chosen thee and not cast thee off,
Leiset kolkim vella kona nangma kahenga kalekou nahi, Nangma kalhacha nahijeh’a keiman nangma kalhen doh nahin, kapai doh lou hel ding nahitai, tia kasei ahi.
10 Do not fear, for with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God, —I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee with my righteous right-hand.
Kicha hih hellin, ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpinai. Lunglha hih hellin, ajeh chu keima na Pathen kahi. Keiman natha hatsah ing ting chule kapanpi ding nahitai. Keiman kajona khut jet lama nangma kadop touding nahi.
11 Lo! they shall turn pale and be ashamed—All they who have been incensed against thee, —They shall become as nothing and perish—The men who have been thine accusers:
Vetan, namelma teho jouse khu chea lumho khu, lung nohphah’a chule kijum soa ahitauve. Nangma dou chan chu thitei ding chule imacha hung hilou ding ahije.
12 Thou shalt seek them, but shalt not find them—The men who have contended with thee, They shall become as nothing, and as a thing of nought—The men who have warred against thee;
Nangma jotei dinga kigoho chu navet jongleh mohseh’a vebep nahi ding ahitai. Nangma nadel khum ho chu imacha hilou dingu ahiuve.
13 For I, Yahweh thy God am firmly grasping thy right-hand, —Who am saying unto thee Do not fear! I, have become thy helper!
Ajeh chu Keima, na Pakai, na Pathen keima tah in nangma khut jetlam katuhnai, chule najah’a kasei ahi, Kicha hih in, keima nangma panpi dinga hikoma uma kahi.
14 Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel, —I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer The Holy One of Israel.
Nangma akineosah lungtol tobangbep, vo Jacob, Kicha hih uvin, Israel miteho, ajeh chu Keiman kapanpi ding nahiuve. Keima na Pakai, na Huhhingpa. Keima Israel Mitheng kitipa chu kahi.
15 Lo! I have made of thee a new pointed threshing sledge, owning teeth, —Thou shalt thresh mountains and crush them, And, hills—like chaff, shalt thou make:
Nangma chang chilna manchah thah, ha’hemtah tampi neija kangkui tobang nahi ding ahi. Nangman na melmate chu nabotel’a naloi khen ding, lhangsang tah tah hoa koldeh kisoh ding ahitai.
16 Thou shalt fan them and, a wind, shall carry them away, And, a whirlwind, scatter, them, —But, thou, shalt exult in Yahweh, And, in the Holy One of Israel, shalt thou boast thyself.
Amaho chu huilah’a napei le le ding, chule hui chun aboncha kei’uva asem mang hel dingu ahi. Chimpei jin amaho chu athe cheh dingu ahitai. Chutengleh nangma Pakaija nakipa ding, Israel tedinga Atheng Khat kitipa’a kithang at ding nahitai.
17 As for the oppressed and the needy. Seeking water when there is none, Their tongue with thirst being parched I—Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:
Mivaicha le ngaichat neihon twi aholleuva amujou lou uva, chule dangchah’a adangu agotlhah tengleh, Keima, Pakaijin amaho chu kahin hou ding, Keima, Israel te Pathen’in, itih channa jong kanungsun lou hel dingu ahitai.
18 I will open, On bare hills rivers, and In the midst of plains, fountains, —I will make The desert, a lake of water, and Parched land, springs of water;
Keiman amaho dinga chu munjang lai lai hoa vadung kalonsah ding, keiman amaho dinga phaicham dung’a twinah ho kahin putdohsah ding chuie nelphaiho jong chu twi kiveinaho kasosah ding ahi. Vadung twi hung long chun tolgotna laiho jouse chu apalphei ding ahi.
19 I will set in the desert! Cedar, acacia, and myrtle, and oil-tree, —I will place, in the waste plain, Cypress, holm-oak, and sherbin-cedar, together
Keiman gaso theilou nelphaja thingphung ho -ceder thing, thing gi, pahcha thing, Olive thing, thao thing, theichang phungle chah thing ho kaphu ding ahi.
20 That men may see and observe and consider and understand at once, That, the hand of Yahweh, hath done this, That the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Hiche kabol hin, hiche thilkidang kibol mu ho jousen ipi kiseina ahi ahetkhen thei diu, hiche kibol hi, Pakai Israel mite dinga Atheng Khat kitipa, asempa’a kon ahi.
21 Bring near your contention, Saith Yahweh, —Advance your defences, Saith the King of Jacob:
Na milim hou jeh un nachung thu kiseijun, tin Pakaijin aseije. Ama (milim sem thu) ho chun ipi abolthei’uvem hin vetsah’u hen, tin Israelte Lengpa chun aseije.
22 Let them advance them, and tell us, What shall happen, —Things known in advance—what they were, tell ye, That we may lay them to our heart and mark the after-story of them, Or, things yet to come, let us hear:
Masang peh a chu ipi anasoh a ham? ti eima hon aphotchet igeltoh theina dinguvin amaho asei dingin kigo uhen. Ahilouva ahileh, hitia chu eihon ipi thil hungsoh thei ja ahi, amaho hin ikhonung dingu thu eihil diu angaije.
23 Tell ye the events which shall be here-after, That we may perceive that gods, ye are, —Surely ye must do something—good or bad, That we may be amazed and behold it, at once.
Ahije, nikho hunglhung dinghoa ipi hungsoh ding neiseipeh’uvin. Chutah leh pathenho nahiu hetauvinge. Ahimongin, apha hihen, ase hijongleh nabolnom nom’u bol’uvin. Kalunguva kidangsahna chule kichatsahna lunggel sosahna dingin thil ipiham hinbollin.
24 Lo! ye, are, of nought, And your work is a puff of breath, —An abomination, he that chooseth you!
Hinla nomlou. Nangho imacha nahihihbeh’uvin, imacha jong naboltheipouvin ahi. Nadeilhen hou jong amahotah chu akisuboh’uvin ahi.
25 I have roused up one from the North, and he hath come, From the rising of the sun, calleth he on my Name, —And he hath come, on deputies, as though they were mortar, And as a potter treadeth clay.
Hijongleh Sahlam gam'a konin Keiman lamkai khat kahin tildoh in ahi. Solam gam'a konin ama chu aminin kakouvin ahi. Keiman lengho le leng chapate ho chunga gal kajosah ding ahi. Aman amahohi bel dengpan leingan abolna banga amaho chu achilgoi ding ahi.
26 Who hath told in advance, that we might know, And beforetime, that we might say Right! Nay, there is none who can tell. Nay, there is none who can let us hear, Nay, there is none who can understand what ye utter.
Tonna patna hiche hung lhung ding ahi tihi koijin naseipeh ham? Hiche hi koijin gaova aphon doh hiya, nangman athusei chu adih ahi tia natahsan jong ham? Koiman thucheng khat jong sei aumpoi.
27 He who is First, [can say], To Zion, Lo! there they are! And to Jerusalem, A herald of good-tidings, do I give.
Keiman Zion jah’a chun,’Ven! Panpina pe dinga chu ahung naije! Tia aseipeh masapen kahi. Keiman Jerusalem chu kipana thupha pole ding kasolpeh ding ahi.
28 So I look, And there is not, a Man! Even among these And there is none to advise, —That, when I ask them, can answer a word.
Na milim ho lah’a khatpenin jong nahilchah pouve. Keiman thudoh kabollin ahileh, thu kadoh phatnin khatchan jong donbutna ahinpepouve.
29 Lo! as to all of them, Vanity—nothingness, are their works, Wind and emptiness, their molten images!
Ve’uvin, amaho hi abonchauvin angol ngensen ahiuvin, aphatchomna bei ahiuve. Na lim semthu hou jong hui tobanga agohkeo ahiuve.
