Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
Pakai thaneipen Lhagao chu kachunga aume, ajeh iham itileh Pakaiyin Kipana Thupha avaichate henga polut dingin thao einutai. Ama hin along chang naho lhamon dinga chule sohchang ho lhadohna seiphong peh dingin chule songkullut ho chamlhat sahna dinga eisol ahi.
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
Aman lung hemna neiho dinga Pakai mikhotona chu ahung lhung taiti seija, chule Pathen lunghanna nikho chu, amelma teu douna dingin ahunge ti seipeh dinga eisol ahi.
3 To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
Israel sunga alunghem jouse dinga- Aman vutvai‘a konna lallukhuh hoitah, lunghemna khella phattheiboh kipana, lunglhahna khella vahchoina golnop hung hijo ding ahitai. Achonphat nauva amaho chu khongnang phung lentah ho tobanga Pakaiyin Aloupina dinga anaphudoh ahitai.
4 [Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
Khopi ana mah thah saho chu asah phat kit dingu, masang peh’a ana kisumang khopiho chu kibolphakit ding, khang tampi donlou hella anaum ho jong chu avella kiledoh kit ding ahiuve.
5 Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
Gamchom miho chu nasoh’uva hung pang dingu ahitai. Amahon na gancha hou avah dingu, nalou hou akhoi bot dingu, chule na lengpi lei’u jong nahon peh dingu ahije.
6 But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
Nangho chu Pakai thempu nahi dingu, I Pathen’u lhachaho kiti ding nahitauve. Nangho chitin-namtin neile gou hoa kivah ding nahiuvin, chule ahaonau chu na kithangatpi ding ahitai.
7 Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
Jachatna le noisana sanga nang hon achan nia jabolna na kimu dingu ahi. Nanghon nagam sunguva ning lhinna achan nia nanei dingu, chule tonsot kipana chu nanghoa hiding ahitai.
8 “I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
Ajeh iham itileh Keima, Pakaiyin thu adih’a tan ka ngailui. Keiman gou kichompeh le thil dihlou kibol kathet ahi. Keiman ka mite chu athohgim jaluva lolhingtah’a lethuhna kapeh ding chule amaho toh tonsot kitepna kasem ding ahi.
9 Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
Achilhah teu hettheija hung um dingu chule namtin lah’a jabolna chang ding ahiuve. Mitinin amaho Pakaiyin a phattheiboh mite ahiuve ti ageldoh dingu ahi.
10 I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
Keima Pakai ka Pathen’a hapia kipanan eidip dime! Ajeh iham itileh Ama’n Huhhingna pon chu eisilpeh in, chule chonphatna’a pon ah chu ei’ah pehtai. Keima kichenna’a mou neipa (moulang) kivonpa tobang'in, ahilou leh mounu song mantama kijem tobang chu kahi.
11 Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
Pakai thunei chungnungpa chun vannoi nam mite henga athutan dih je avetsah ding ahi. Mitinin Ama avahchoi dingu ahi! Achonphatna chu chavang kipattil tobang ding, muntina thingphung ho hung kehdoh tobang hi ding ahije.
