Isaiah 49
1 Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.
Agamla gam hoa umjousen kasei ngaijun! Gamla tah’a hon lunglutnin ngaijuvin! Pakaiyin kapen lhah masanga einakou ahitai; naobu sunga kaumna’a Ama’n kamin'a einakou ahitai.
2 He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.
Aman geltoh’a thu kaseiho chu chemjam bangin ahemsah’e. Aman akhut lea eisellin, keima Ama livathei’a thalchang tobang kahi.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
Aman kajah’a: ‘Israel, nangma kalhachapa nahi, chule keima loupina’a neilut pi ding ahi,”tin aseije.
4 But I said, “I have laboured in vain. I have spent my strength in vain for nothing; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God.”
Keima’n ka donbutnin, “Hijongleh katoh hi phatchomna bei abang jenge! Keiman katha hi pana beija mangcha’a le abidoi beija kabang jenge. Hinla keiman aboncha Pakai khutna ngama kahin; kachan ding kipaman Pathen’a ngam ding kahi.
5 Now the LORD, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, says to bring Jacob again to him, and to gather Israel to him, for I am honourable in the LORD’s eyes, and my God has become my strength.
Chule tun Pakaiyin aseijin, Kanu oisunga alhacha dinga eihin gonga, Israel chu Ama koma dinga hinle pui dinga ei’soldohpa ahi. Pakaiyin eijabollin, chule Ka Pathen’in thahatna eipei.
6 Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
Ama’n aseije, “Nangman Israelte chu kahenga dinga na kiledohsah mai maibep ding ahipoi. Keima’n nangma Gentel tedinga vah’a ka pansah ding, chule ka huhhingna chu leiset kolkimvel’a napoh le ding ahitai.
7 The LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
Pakai, Huhhingpu le Israel Mithengpa chun namtin vaipi nahsahmo le deilouva kibolpa, vaipo ho lhacha’a pangpa hengah: Nangma na chepetnin lengho chun jana napeh dingu, leng chapate ho jong hung kun ding ahiuve, ajeh chu, Pakai tahsan umtah pa, Israel dinga Athengpa, na deilhenpa jal hiding ahi.
8 The LORD says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time. I have helped you in a day of salvation. I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu: “Aphatcha, keiman kadonbut ding nahi. “Huhhingna nikhoa keiman kalethuh ding nahi. Keiman nangma kavenbitna chule amahoto kakitepna dung jui’a kapeh ding nahi. Nangma’a konna Israel gam avel’a ka tundoh kitding chule amite avella ka nganse kitding ahi.
9 saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
Keiman sohchang jah’a, ‘Chamlhatnin hung potdoh'in, chule muthim lah’a umho jah’a, ‘vah sung’a hungin.’ Amaho ka kelngoi hi diu chule mol ho atilla imacha kelouna muna chu ne’a lha le dingu ahitai.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them, for he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.
Amaho gilkel kit talou dingu chule dangchah kit talou hel dingu ahitai. Nisa satnin amaho aphah kit tahlou hel dingu ahitai. Ajeh iham itileh Pakai Amilungsetna chun amaho apui le dingu; Aman amaho chu twi dap jin jen muna apui ding ahi.
11 I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be exalted.
Chule Keiman ka lhang sang ho chu lampia kijotna thei hoa seming ting, sem toh ing ting, chule phaicham ho chung vum'a Kalam lhongpi ho chu kisem ding ahije.
12 Behold, these shall come from afar, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.”
Vetemin, ka mite chu gamla tah gam'a kona hung kilekit’uvintin, sahlam le lhumlam gam hoa konin, chule Aigupta gam noilam peh’a konna hung ding ahiuve.
13 Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth! Break out into singing, mountains! For the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
Vo vanho, kipah in la sauvin! Vo leiset, kipah thanomin umun! Vo Lhangho lasa dingin pohjah jenguvin. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin amite alhamonin chule athoh gim nau chunga akhoton ahi.
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”
Ahijeng vang'in Jerusalem’in aseijin, “Pakaiyin ei nungsun tauve; Pakaiyin ei sumil del tauve,”ati.
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!
Hinaisai louve! Mi nun acha noichep sah lai asuh mil thei ding hija ham? Aman ahinsa acha chu ngailu louva umthei ding ham? Hijong chu hithei maithei ding hijongleh, Keiman nangho hi suhmil louhel ding kahi.
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. Your walls are continually before me.
Veuvin, Keiman namin chu kakhut phang teni chunga kajih lut tai. Kalung gel jousea Jerusalem bang kiphelha’amang thahsa ho chu aki lang jinge.
17 Your children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you.
Gangtah’a nachilhah ho chu hung kile kit diu, chule nasumang go jou seu chu chemang diu ahitai.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says the LORD, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
Dahdoh unlang chule veuvin, ajeh chu na chateu chu abonuva nahenguva hung kile kit ding ahiuve, Keima kahing jingnai, tin Pakaiyin aseije: Amaho chu kijepnaho le mounu kijepnaho tobanga navetsah ding ahitai.
19 “For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
Nanghon nanung sun dehset nau nagam leiset’u chu namite kititna mun hung hiding ahitai. Soh’a navul’uva pangho chu gamla tah ‘a che mang diu ahitai.
20 The children of your bereavement will say in your ears, ‘This place is too small for me. Give me a place to live in.’
Akipui mang nauva ana peng khang miteho chu hung kinung le diu chule asei diu chu: Keihon mun kangaicha beuve! Miho atam kitit behseh tauve, tia ahinsei dingu ahi.
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children and am alone, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought these up? Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”
Chuteng leh, nangman, ‘Hiche chilhah ho jouse hi kon einapeh hija ham? tia nalunga nagel ding ahi. Ajeh chu ka chate atamjo pi chu akithat gam'a ahitan, chule amoh chengse chu gam danga kipui manguva ahitai. Keima bou hi hiche muna hi kachang seh’a eikidalha ahibouve. Hiche miteho hi hoiya konna hung hiu vem? Hiche chapangho hi koi hin hiu vem? Keima dinga kon eihin sindohpeh’u ahi dem?
22 The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and lift up my banner to the peoples. They shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
Hiche hi Hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin asei chu ahi, “Ven, Keiman Pathen ngaisah lou nam mite vetsahna kapeh ding ahi. Ama hon nachapa neocha chaho chu abanjal’uva apoh ding’u; nachanu teu chu a lengkou’uva ahin poh dingu ahi.
23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me won’t be disappointed.”
Lengho le Lengnu hon najen le dingu chule na ngaichat hou jouse avetsui dingu ahi. Amaho chu tolla hung kun diu chule nakenga vutvai ho chu ahung le ngim diu ahi. Amaho chun Keima Pakai kitipa chu kahin, keima eitahsan ho chu itih chan hijongleh jachatna toh pouvinte.
24 Shall the plunder be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?
Gal hatpa’a konna athil chomdoh ho chu alahpeh ngam’a koi hija chule gilou tah vaipopa’a konna asohchang chu kon alha doh ding ham?
25 But the LORD says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.
Hinla Pakaiyin aseije:”Gal bolpa sohchangho chu kilhadoh ding, chule gilou tah’a thil kichom doh chu kilemu kit ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangma gal’a nasat ho gal’a kisat ding, chule keiman nachate kahuhdoh ding ahi.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they will be drunk on their own blood, as with sweet wine. Then all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Saviour and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Keiman na melmate chu amaho atahsau chu kale nehsah ding ahi. Ama hon athisan’u vadung tobanga long chu adon dingu ahi. Vannoi pum pin Keima, Pakai, na huhhingpa’u le na Chodoh pau, Israel dinga hatchungnung chu kahi.
