< Isaiah 43 >
1 And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name — thou [art] Mine.
Hijongleh tun, Vo Jacob nasempa PAKAI sei ngaijin. Vo Israel, nagong dohpa chun aseije, “Kicha hih in, ajeh chu Keima’n nangma kachohdohsa nahitai. Keima’n namin’a kakou nahin; nangma keija nahi.
2 When thou passest into waters, I [am] with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.
Twithuh lah najot tengleh, Keiman kaumpi ding nahi. Hahsatna vadung najot tengleh, twija nalhahlut lou ding ahi. Kibolsetna meilah napal teng jongleh, meiyin nahalkhah lou ding; meiyin nakah louhel ding ahi.
3 For I — Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.
Ajeh iham itileh Keima Pakai, na Patehn kahi, Israelte mithengpa, na Huhhingpu chu kahi. Keiman Aigupta chu nacham lhatna dinga nakilhat dohna ding’a kapeh nahin; Nangma muna Ethiopia le Seba chu kapehdoh ahitai.
4 Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.
Nangma keima dinga sahlut tah nahi jeh in, nangho khella midang chu kaphal doh a. nangma dinga ahin nau chu kapehdoh ahitai. Keima’n Kangailut nahi jeh’a nangma jabolna changa nahije.
5 Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.
Kichahih in, ajeh chu Keiman kaum pinai. Keiman nangma le nachilhah ho chu solam le lhum lama kona kachop khom ding nahiuve.
6 I am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Keiman sahlam le lhanglam jah’a, kachapate le kachanute chu leiset kolkim vella konin Israel’a hin puilutnin kati ding ahi.
7 Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
Keima a Pathenna einei jouse chu hin puijin, ajeh chu keiman amaho chu kaloupina dinga kasem ahi. Keima amaho sempa chu kahi.
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Mit neija ahia kho mulou, bilkol neija khojalou ho chu mipi lah’a konin hinpuidoh un.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'
Chitin-namtin chu hinpui khomun! Vannoi mite chu hinkhom tup’uvin! Milim semthu anei’u chun hitobang hung lhung ding hi aseimasat khah em? Jinga ipi ahungso ding aseithei pen aumna diu vem? Hitobang thuseidoh hettohsah hoiya um uvem? Amaho chun thutah asei’u ahi tia aphotchetna pengam aumna dem?
10 Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
Hinla nangma keima hettohsah a panga nahiuve, Vo Israel! Tin Pakaijin aseije. Nangma kalhacha nahi. Nangma hi keima eihechen dinga, eitahsan dinga, chule Keima bouhi Pathen kahi ti hetkhen themna neija nahi. Pathen dang aumpon-Itih’a jong ana um khalou, chule itih’a jong umkhalou ding ahi.
11 I — I [am] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.
Kei, Keima tah hi, Pakai chu Kahi, chule Huhhingpu dang aumpoi.
12 I — I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I [am] God.
Amasatah in huhdoh a naum diu thudol kaphon peh’uvin, chuphatnin kahuhdoh’un chule vannoiya kaseiphongin ahi. Koima cha gamdang pathenin hiche hi abol khapoi. Keima bou Pathen kahi hi nangho ahettohsah a panga nahiuve, tin PAKAIyin aseije.
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?
Tonsotna pat tonsot geija Keima Pathen kahi. Koiman kakhutna kona koima alahdoh theilou dingu ahi. Katohdohsa chunga koima’n imalou sotheiponte.
14 Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend — all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
Hiche hi Na Huhhingpu, Israel Mitheng Khat kitipa Pakai chun asei ahije: “Nangho jal'a keiman Babylon douna’a galmi honkhat kasoldoh ding, Banylon miten” akithang atpiu akong innei houva chu jamdoh dingu ahi.
15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'
Keima Pakai, nangho Athengpa Khat, Israel sempa le Lengpa chu kahi.
16 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.
Keima Pakai twi lah’a lampi hin hongdohpa, twikhanglen’a tolgo hin umdohsahpa chu kahi.
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down — they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'
Keiman Aigupta galhat ho chu asakol ho’u le asakol kangtalaiho’u pumin kakoudoh in, keiman amaho chu twi kinong sunga kanolutnin, ahileh alha lhum tauve. Chule ahinkhou chu khoilu thaomei pat kihal kisumit jouva jemkai to abanguve.
18 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.
Hijongleh hiho jouse chu sumil jengun- Keiman kahinbol ding hitoh imacha dang atepithei ding aumpoi.
19 Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods.
Ajeh chu keiman thilthah khat kabol ding ahi. Veuvin, kapantai! Muloulai nahiu vem? Gamthip laiya kenglampi kalhundoh ding ahi! Gamgo gam’a chu keiman vadung kahin lonsah ding ahi.
20 Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people — My chosen.
Loujao hoa gamsa ho, si’al ho le sumbupi jeng hon jong gamthip gam'a twi kapeh jeh’uva eichoi’at dingu ahi. Hitia chu keiman gam gotna leimuna jong chu vadung ho kalonsah ding, hichun kalhendoh mite hung kidodoh tauvinte.
21 This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.
Keiman Israel chu keima’a dingin kakisemtai, chule amaho chun nikhat le vannoi pumpi masanga jabolna eipeh dingu ahi.
22 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,
Hinla Jacob insung mi deitahte, nanghon kapanpi dingin nanom hih laijuve. Vo Israel, nanghon keima neichim chah lheh jenguve!
23 Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, Nor wearied thee with frankincense.
Nanghon kelngoi le kelcha hoa kilhaina pumgo thilto dingin neihin choipeh pouvin ahi. Lousoh ga thilto hoa chule bego-gim namtui thilto hoa kilhaina thiltoa ‘neija bol tapouvin, keiman nangho ahahsa pohgih pohsah louva chule nagimna diu ima ngeh lou hel kahi.
24 Thou hast not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only — thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
Nanghon bego- gim namtui le kilhaina thilto thao ho neihin choipeh pon ahi. Chusangin nachonset poh gihho neipoh sah in chule nathemona houva neitha cholsah tauvin ahi.
25 I — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.
Kei, Keima bouvin, keima tah kahi jal'a bou nachonsetna ho kachul mangin chule hicho chu gelkit talou ding kahi.
26 Cause me to remember — we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.
Athil umdol velvet khom kitnu hitin, chule nathemo louna thudol nakisei thei ding ahi.
27 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,
Atil laipeh’a kipatna napu napate ho’uvin keidouna’a anachonseuvin, nalamkai ho jouseuvin kadan thu apalkeh tauve.
28 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Hijeh’a chu na thempu hou toh kakinopmo’uva chule Jacob dinga amahthahna hel kathu lhuh’a chule Israel dinga jachatna soh’a ahitai.
