Isaiah 35
1 [Some day, it will be as though] the desert [and other very] dry areas are glad [DOU]; the desert will rejoice and flowers will blossom. Like crocuses/daffodils,
Hiche nikho hoa chu gamthip gam leh nelgam geija kipah thanom diu ahi. Gammang ho hung kipah intin, pahcha pah banga hung pah ding ahi.
2 the desert will produce flowers abundantly; [it will be as though] everything is rejoicing and singing! The deserts will become as beautiful as [SIM] [the trees in] Lebanon, as fertile [SIM] as the plains of the Sharon and Carmel [areas]. [There] people will see the glory of Yahweh; they will see that he is magnificent.
Ahi, pahcha ninglhing setnin um intin, lasah leh kipa thanopna umding ahi! Lebanon lhangho bangin nelgam ho hung eng intin, carmel molhoi banga hoiding chule Sharon Phaicham hung bang ding ahi. Hilaija chu Pakai chun aloupina ahinvet sah ding, i Pathen u loupina chu.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
Hiche chungchang thu ahin khut kham ho hatsah inlang, khupbuh lhasam ho chu tilkhou vin.
4 Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong and do not be afraid, because our God is going to come to get revenge [on his enemies]; he will (pay them back/punish them) for what they have done, and he will rescue you.”
Kichat um lungchang neiho henga seijin, “Hat inlang, kicha hih in, ajehchu na galmite sumang din na Pathen ahunge. Na huhdoh din ahunge.”
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Amachu ahung teng, mitcho kho amusah ding, chuleh nangong kho ajahsah ding ahi.
6 Lame people will leap like deer, and those who have been unable to speak will sing joyfully. Water will gush out [from springs] in the desert; streams will flow in the desert.
Kengbai sakhi banga kichom ding, paothei lou hon kipah'a la asah diu ahi! Tuinah ho akon tui hung longlhan gamthip gam hin phantin, vadung hon gammang ahin chapnou ding ahi.
7 The very dry ground will become a pool of water, and springs will provide water for the dry land. Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow in places where the jackals/wolves lived previously.
Tolgo jong dilneo hung soh ding chuleh tuinah a tui hung long lhan gamgo ho asuh lung lhaiding ahi. Nel gam'a si-al ho chenna leh akol naova chu hampa toh pumpeng leh phai pheng hung kehding ahi.
8 And there will be a highway through that land; it will be called ‘the Holy Highway’. People who are not acceptable to God will not walk on that road; it will be only for those who conduct their lives as God wants them to; foolish people will become lost while walking on that road.
Gam kidalhasa mun khat na lampi lentah hung kilhung lut ding ahi. Hichu thenna lamlen tia amin kivo ding ahi. Gitlou lungthim puhon hilai chu a ho loihel diu ahi. Pathen dei'a vahle hoa ding bou ahi; mingolho hilai'a chu vahle louhel diu ahi.
9 There will not be any lions there or any other dangerous animals along that road. Only those who have been freed [from being slaves in Babylonia] will walk on it.
Keipi bahkai hon sa achan lou diu, sahingne gamsa hojong lha le lou diu ahi, kichat le tijatna ho jong lha le lou diu ahi, Kichat le tijatna umlou ding ahi. Lhatdoh'a umho bou lhale diu ahi.
10 Those whom Yahweh has freed will return to Jerusalem; they will sing as they enter the city; they will be extremely joyful [MET, PRS] forever. No longer will they be sad or mourn; they will be [completely] joyful [DOU].
Pakai in alhatdoh ho hung kinung lediu ahi. Tonsot kipana lallukhuh kikhuh banga akikhuh uva, lasah pum'a Jerusalem hung lut diu ahi. Lunghemna leh puldouna manghel ding, kipana leh thanop na'a dim diu ahitai.
