< Isaiah 46 >

1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are carried by animals and beasts of burden. These idols that you carry are a heavy burden for weary animals.
Babylon te pathen ho- Bel le Nebo, chu tol lama abungin akun lhonne. Ama ni hi bong kang’a poh thethun atol manguvin ahi. Pohpo gancha teni chun poh lel jeh’in alon pi le len ahi.
2 Together they bend low, kneel down; they cannot rescue the images, and they themselves have gone off into captivity.
Lim semthu teni le anei hou chu akun lhasuh un ahi. A pathen hou chun amite aveng bit jou pon, chule ami teuvin a pathen’u aveng bit jou pouve. Abonchauvin, sohchang dingin apui mang tha’uvin ahi.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been carried by me from before your birth, carried from the womb.
Jacob chilhah hon kasei hi ngaijun lang, Israel sunga amoh them jouse, Keiman nangho napen’uva patna ka gelkhoh’u nahiu ahitai. Henga, napen masang peh’uva kavop na hiu ahitai.
4 Even to your old age I am he, and until your hair is gray I will carry you. I made you and I will bear you; I will carry you and I will rescue you.
Na hinkhou lhung keija Keima na Pathen’u kahi ding ahi- Na kum’u ahung tah jeh’a nasam kan gei ja jong, Kasem nahiuvin, nangho kagelkhoh jing ding nahiuve. Keiman kapui leuva chule kahuhdoh ding nahiuve.
5 To whom will you compare me? Who do you think I resemble, so that we may be compared?
Keima hi koito nei tekah dingu hitam? Koi ham ka kibahpi chu?
6 People pour out gold from the bag and weigh silver on the scale. They hire a metalsmith, and he makes it into a god; they bow down and worship it.
Mi phabep ho chun adangka hou le asana ho’u chu ajunsah un chule chua kona lim semthu pathen sem dingin mi aki thalah’un ahi. Ama ho chu milim anga chun akunuvin chuin hichu ahou’uvin ahi.
7 They lift it on their shoulder and carry it; they set it in its place, and it stands in its place and does not move from it. They cry out to it, but it cannot answer nor save anyone from his trouble.
Ama hon alenguva apo le leuvin, chule ama hon akoilhah tenguleh, chua chun aum denin, achat loh theipoi. Akoma ga taova jong adonbut theipon, koima jong hahsatna’a ahuhdoh theipoi.
8 Think about these things; never ignore them, you rebels!
Hiche hi sumil hih in! Lunga chingin! Themona neihon hiche hi geldoh’un.
9 Think about the earlier things, those of times past, for I am God, and there is no other, I am God, and there is no one like me.
Phatchesa’a kathilboldoh ho geldoh in. Ajeh iham itileh Keima bou Pathen kahi! Keima Pathen Kahin, chule kei tobang koima aumpoi.
10 I announce the end from the beginning, and beforehand what has not yet happened; I say, “My plan will happen, and I will do as I desire.”
Keiman khonung thu ahung lhung ding, aguilhun masanga kahil thei nahiuve. Kagonsa, kagel chan chu bol jia kahi jeh in, hung gui lhung tei ding ahije.
11 I call a bird of prey from the east, the man of my choice from a distant land; yes, I have spoken; I will also accomplish it; I have purposed, I will also do it.
Keiman Solam gam'a kona vacha leng gang tah ne hattah chu kakouva- gamla tah gam'a konna lamkai khat hungin tin chule katepna banga abol ding ahi. Keiman kabol ding ahi kanati chu, Kabol tei ding ahi.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn people, who are far from doing what is right.
Mi louchal ho, thilpha bolna dinga gamla tah’a umho, kasei ngaijuvin.
13 I am bringing my righteousness near; it is not far away, and my salvation does not wait; and I will give salvation to Zion and my beauty to Israel.
Ajeh iham itileh thil ijakai adih bolna dinga kigosa um kahi, agamla tah ding hijo louvin, tu tua ding kasei ahi. Keiman Jerusalem kahuhdoh nomin, chule Israel henga kaloupina kavet sah ding ahi.
