Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu ahi: Van hi ka Laltouna ahi, chule leiset hi ka kengphang ngapna ahi. Nanghon hou’in phatah nasah jou dingu hinam? Nanghon hitobang kicholdona khat chu neisahpeh dingu ham?
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
Ka khutnin van le leiset asem gel ahin, amaho le asunga uho jouse keima’a ahi, tin Pakai keiman ka naseije! Keiman akineosah le lungchang kisihna neithei mi ka thuseija kithing thei mi chu phatthei kaboh ding ahi.
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
Hinla ama ama deilam bou kilhenna, amaho chonsetna hobou deilhen miho chu, akikatdohnau thilto ho jong santhei hilou ding ahi. Hitobang miho chun bongchal kilhainan tohdoh jonguleh, hiho chu mihem’a kilhaina kitohdoh tobangbep’a kila ding ahibouve. Ama hon kelngoi atoji tenguleh, uicha’a kilhaina tobang bepma kila ding ahi! Amahon lousoh ga ahinto ji tengu jongleh, amahon vohcha’a kilhaina thilto abol’uva kila ding ahi. Amahon bego a kilhaina aneijiu jongleh, limsemthu phatthei aboh ‘u tobanga kigel ding ahi.
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
Amahon akichatnau jouseuva hahsatna kasolpeh ding ahi. Ajeh iham itileh amahon kakou petnin eidonbut pouvin, chule keiman kaseipetnin angaipouve. Ka mitmutah’a amahon chonset abol’uvin, chule ija kaselou chu bol dingin akilhen johtauve.
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
Hiche thuhi Pakaiya konin ngaijuvin, Athuseija kithing le ging geh’a umho: Namite chun nahot bol’uvin, chule kaminna kitah tah’a napanjeh in nanotthap tauve. Amahon ataitomu’uvin, “Pakai chu jabollin umhen! Ama’a kipah thanomin um'in! tin seijonguleh, amaho chu hung kijumso tei ding ahiuve.
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
Khopi sunga boina ho jouse hi ipi hija ham? Hou’In'a konna ging thethua khu ipi hija ham? Hiche hi Pakai awgin, amelmate ho douna’a athilbol hija ahi!”
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
Naosonat ahung kipat masanga, Jerusalem’in chapa khat ahingtai
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
Hitobang thil kidang hi koiyin anamu khah em? Hitobang hi kon anajah khah em? Nam khat chu nikho khatseh’a hungpeng thei ding ham? Chomkhat kahlouva gamkhat chu hung kitungdoh thei ding ham? Hinla Jerusalem’in naosonat athoh pat teng, achate hungpeng doh ding ahi.
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
Hiche nam mite hi naosonat thoh dinga kapuidoh’a ahia napa ahinlou ding hija ham? tin Pakaiyin adongin ahi. Na Pathen chun, “Hilouve, Keiman hiche nam mite hi peng louva kaumlou ding ahi.
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
Jerusalem toh kipah thanomun! Amanu ngailou ho jouse le ama lung hempi jouse, nabonchauvin kipah thanomun.
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
Chapang sen anu noitwi’a alungmon bang chun amanu aloupina chamkimna chu bulhingsetnin kipa piuvin.
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi: Keiman Jerusalem hi ninglhinna le chamna lui dung kalonsah ding. Chitin-namtin ahenga hunglut dingu, achateu chu noitwija kivah vaset dingu, abantenia apom’a chule aphei chunga atousah ding ahi.
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
Minun acha alhamon tobanga keiman nangho hi Jerusalem’a kalhamon ding nahiuve.
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
Hiche ho jouse hi namusoh tengleh, nalungsung kipah ding chule hampa banga nakidodoh ding ahi. Mitinin Pakai phattheina khut chu asohte chunga amu thei dingu chule amelmate chunga alunghanna amudiu ahije.
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
Ven, Pakai chu meikoutoh kilhonin ahungin chule asakol kangtalai chu huipi hung nung gin tobang'in agingdoh jenge. Aman alunghanna’a gimbol dinga hung ding chule aphosalna meikou tobang hiding ahi.
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
Pakai chun vannoi hi alunghanna le achem jama agimbol ding ahi. Ama’n leiset chung thu atanna Chula mi tampi chu ahintha ding ahi.
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
Amaho tah kisuthenguva chule honsung lailunga thingphung nung lama lim semthua kisuthenga- thet umtah vohsale juchasa’a chule thil thenglou hoa kivahvaset ho chu hoisetah’a mangthah ding ahiuve.
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
Amahon ipi abol’u kamudoh theijin chule ipi agellu kahedoh theije. Hijeh’a hi keiman nam jouse le mipite kakhop khom’a chule amahon kaloupina amu dingu ahi.
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
Keiman amaho lah’a melchihna khat kavetsah ding ahi. Chule chitin-namtin lah’a thupoa pang ding ho chu - Tarshis’a, Libia miho lah’a, chule Lydia miho (thalkap them tah’ho tobang lah)’a, Tubal ho le Greek mite ho lah’a chule twikhanglen gal lama umho jouse keiman min jakhalou ho, kaloupina mukhaloulaiho henga kasol ding ahiuve.
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
Amaho chun chitin ho lah’akonna namite amohthem ho chu ahinpui khom dingu ahi. Amaho chun kalhangtheng Jerusalema amaho chu Pakaiya kilhaina dinga ahin puilut dingu ahi. Amaho chun sakol ho chunga, sakol kangtalaiho chunga chule sangan chungle sangong sangho chunga hungtou’uva hung ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Chule keiman amaho lah’a abangkhat chu thempua le Levi mia kalhendoh ding ahije, tia keima Pakaijin kaseisa ahitai.
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
Vanthaho le leithah aumden jing ding tobanga chu, nangho jong chu min amangkit theilou kamite nahi jing dingu ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Hapta ahapta seh’a chule lhakhatna kona lhakit geija mihem jouse kahenga keima eihou dia hung hung jeng ding ahiuve.
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
Chule amaho chu apotdoh tenguleh hitia hi: Tahsa thisa ho ahin laijuva keima eidou ho chun ahin mu dingu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho vallhuma lungtol ho jong chu thilou hel dingu ahi, chule amaho gou dinga mei jong chu itih’a mit thei talou ding chule lampia hungvah le ho jouse chun kidang asahuva tija ding ahiuve.
