< Isaiah 62 >

1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
Keiman Zion kangailut jeh’a, keima thip beh’a ka’umlou hel ding, kalungin Jerusalen alungvil jing jeh’a kathip beh louhel ding ahi. Keiman chonphatna chu kho hungvah doh tobanga ahung vahlhah masangsea, amanu(Jerusalem) dinga hi tang louva katao jing ding ahi.
2 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
Chitin-namtinin nachonphatna mu’uvintin, vannoi vaipipo ho jong chu na loupina avet ngam lou dingu ahi. Chule nangma hi Pakai kamsung tah in minthah napeh ding ahi.
3 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
Pakaiyin nangma khutnin natuh intin, mi jousen amutheina dinga -Pathen khutna loupina lallukhuh na khuhpeh ding ahi.
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
‘Dalhah Khopi’ahilouleh ‘Gamdaigam’ tia nakikou kit talou hel ding ahi. Minthah naput ding chu: “Pathen Lunglhaina Tah” chule “Pathen Mounu” kiti ding ahitai, ajeh iham itileh Pakai chu nachunga along lhaijin, chule a mounu tia naseipeh ding ahi.
5 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
Vo Jerusalem, khangthah chun aji adeilhennu komma akipehlut tobanga chu- nachateu amaho mong mong nangma heng’a hung kipelut dingu ahi. Chutengleh, moulangin mounu chunga akipa thanop tobanga chu, Pakai chu nachunga hungkipah thanom ding ahi.
6 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
Vo Jerusalem, Keiman khongah ho chu nakulpi banghoa kapan satsah in ahi; amaho hi sunle jana taojom jing ding ahiuve.
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Jerusalem chu leiset kithang atpi thei ahunghi kahsen, Pakaiyin anatoh abulhit molso kahsen, Pakai chu kicholdo sah hih hel’uvin.
8 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
Pakai chu Athahatna Jerusalem henga hung kihah sella: “Keiman nangho melmate khutna avella kapehdoh kit tah lou hel ding nahiuve, ati. Gamdang mi na gamga hou le na lengpi twi hou lamang dinga gal nabol khum dinguva hungkon kit talou hel ding ahiuve.
9 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
Louva tohga na kimu dingu, nanghon hichu naneh’uva Pathen na vahchoi dingu ahi. Hou’In mai lama nangma hotah in naheh lhah’u lengpi-twi chu nadon dingu ahitai.
10 Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
Kelkot pam lama gapotdoh’uvin! Kamite ahungkile kitna dinguvin lamlhongpi gongtoh’uvin! Lamlen chu sunam’uvin, songpi ho loidoh un, chitin-namtin nin ahinvet dinguvin ponlap khai sangun.
11 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
Pakaiyin hiche thuhi gamtina asoldohtai: Israel nam mite seipeh’uvin, Veuvin, na Huhhingpu chu ahunge. Ven, tohman kichoi tothon Ama ahunge.
12 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
Amaho chu, “Athenga Mite”le “Thisanna Pakaiyin Achohdohsa Mite”kiti ding ahiuve. Chule Jerusalem hi “Dei umtah Mun” le “Khopi Kinungsun kit talou ding” kiti ding ahitai.
