Isaiah 54
1 Yahweh says, “You [people of Jerusalem] [MET], start to sing! You [who are like] [MET] women who have never given birth to children, sing loudly and shout joyfully, because you, [who are like] [MET] childless women who have been abandoned [by their husbands], will [soon] have more children than women who have never had any children.
Vo cha neilou nu, cha hing khalou hel nu nangman, lan san! Vo Jerusalem, aw ging le kipah thanom tah in la san. Naoso nat thoh khalou hel numei, dalhah’a um numei nu chun, ajipato chengkhom nu sangin, cha atam hin johtai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
2 Make your tents larger; make them wider, and fasten them firmly with tent pegs.
Na in keh lenin, chule abanin khat sahben. Na in sah chu kijalsah in, chule sumchena ding itchah hih hellin.
3 [You will need to make your city much larger] because [soon] you and your descendants will spread all over the land. They will force the people of [other] nations [who now live in your cities] to leave, and you will live [again] in those cities [that were previously abandoned].
Ajeh iham itileh bailam tah’a nangma na kidop sangna chun nakipa sah ding ahi. Nason nachi lhah ho chun nam dangho gam aloding chule khopi mangthah hoa chu gacheng kit diu ahi.
4 Do not be afraid; you will no [longer] be ashamed. Previously you were ashamed [because your enemies conquered you] and caused many of your women to become widows, but [soon] you will not even remember that.
Jachatna hinkho naman kit lou ding ahitah jeh in, kicha hih in. Nangma not thapna chang lou ding nahi tah jeh in kicha hih beh in. Nangman na khangdonlai jachatna ho le meithai lunghemna jong na geldoh kittah lou helding ahitai.
5 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the Holy one of Israel, who rules over the whole earth, the one who created you, will be [like] [MET] a husband to you.
Ajeh iham itileh na- Sempa chu najipa hung hiding; Amin chu Van Galmite Pakai akiti. Ama chu Vannoi pumpi Pathen, Israelte Atheng Penpa, na Chodohpa chu ahi.
6 You were like a woman whose husband left her, and caused you to be very sad; you were like a young woman who got married when she was [very] young, and then her husband abandoned her.
Ajeh iham itileh Pakaiyin - nangma khang dong cha jinei, ajipan adalhah tobanga, nangma nalung hemna’a konna hin koukitna ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
7 I abandoned you [people of Jerusalem] for a while, but [now] I am saying, ‘I will take you back.’
Phat chomcha kadon lou nahin, hijongleh khoto them tah’a kale lah kit ding nahi.
8 I was very angry with you for a while, and I turned away from you. But I will act mercifully toward you and I will faithfully love you forever. That is what [I], Yahweh, your protector, say to you.
Lunghan koujah jeh’a chomcha khat kamai kahei mang anahi. Hinla tonsot ngailutna’a keiman nangma kakhoto ding nahi, tin na-Pakai, na -Chodohpan aseije.
9 During the time that Noah lived, I solemnly promised that I would never again allow a flood to cover the earth. So [now] I solemnly promise that I will not be angry with you again and (rebuke you/threaten to punish you).
Keiman Noah phat laiya kana kihahsella, Keiman twi-sangletna leiset pumpi kachupsah kit tahlou hel ding ahi tia kanasei banga, tua hi kakihahsel’a, Keima kalung hangkit talou ding chule kagimbol lou ding nahitai.
10 Even if the mountains and hills shake and collapse, I will not stop faithfully loving you, and I will not cancel my agreement to cause things to go well for you. That is what [I], Yahweh, who act mercifully, say.
Ajeh iham itileh molsang ho kichon hen lang chule mol’ho kichon mang ding hijongleh, ka ngailutna kitahna nangma chunga ka umsah den ding, ka kitepna phatthei bohna chu itih’a kisukeh lou hel ding ahitai, tin ahepina nachunga koipa Pakaiyin aseije.
11 You [people of Jerusalem] [APO], [your enemies acted very violently toward you]; [it was as though] your city was battered by a severe storm, and no one helped you. But [now] I will cause your city to be rebuilt with stones made of (turquoise/valuable stones), and I will cause the foundations of the city to be made of (sapphires/valuable blue stones).
Vo khopi huijin asuh ling jing, boija chule kinepna um talou khopi! Keiman nangma songman tam’a kasah phatna chule na’inbul ho chu saphir songa kaphudet ding ahi.
12 I will cause the towers on the city wall to be made of (rubies/valuable red stones), and all the gates of the city will be made of [other] very valuable stones.
Keiman na in sang ho chu songman tam vah lap lap’a kasem’a, na kelkot ho chu valleh leh’a kajepma chule na- in bang ho jong chu song mantam’a kijep ding ahije.
13 I will be the one who will teach you people and cause things to go well with you.
Keiman nachateho jouse kahil ding, chule amahon lungmonna bulhingset’ nomsa ding ahiuve.
14 Your [government] will be strong because of acting justly/fairly; no one will (oppress you/cause you to suffer); you will not be afraid, because there will be nothing [PRS] that will (terrorize you/cause you to become extremely afraid).
Thu adih le ahoia kivaipohna khat umna’a chu nangma ki huhbit ding nahi. Na melmate nangma’a konna gamla tah’a kichon doh dingu, nangma lungmonga nachen ding, tijatnan nahin nailou ding ahitai.
15 If any army attacks you, it will not be because I have incited them to do that, and you will defeat any group that attacks you.
Nangma douna a nam khat galla nasat dinga ahunga ahileh, keima hinsol ahipoi. Koi hijongleh nano khum ho chu gallel’a kumsuh ding ahiuve.
16 Think about this: (Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal) fan the coals to make a very hot flame in order to produce weapons that can be used [in battles], but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths! And I am also the one who created people who destroy [other people and cities].
Keiman thih khengpa kasem ahin, ama chun pum meiya meihol ajapma chule gal manchah kisuh gamna ding akhendoh ahi. Keiman asumang ding sepai ho semsa kakoi ahitai.
17 [But I am promising you that I will] not allow you to be defeated/injured by soldiers using weapons that have been made to attack you, and when others try to accuse you, you will (refute them/show that they are wrong). That is the reward that I will give to the people who serve me; I will defend them; that is what [I], Yahweh, promise.”
Hijongleh ahung lhung ding nikho’a chu nangma douna’a gal manchah pan ho chu lolhing pouvinte. Nangma oimo dinga aw sanga thusei ho chu nangman napho thip ding ahi. Hiche phatchomna hohi Pakai lhachate chang ding ahiuve. Hiche kisei adihna photchetna hi keija kon hunga ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
