Isaiah 49
1 Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of 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 And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.
Aman geltoh’a thu kaseiho chu chemjam bangin ahemsah’e. Aman akhut lea eisellin, keima Ama livathei’a thalchang tobang kahi.
3 And He saith to me, 'My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'
Aman kajah’a: ‘Israel, nangma kalhachapa nahi, chule keima loupina’a neilut pi ding ahi,”tin aseije.
4 And I said, 'For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage 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 And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been 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 And He saith, 'It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto 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 Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: 'Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'
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 Thus said Jehovah: 'In a time of good pleasure I answered thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee, and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
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 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. On the ways they feed, And in all high places is their pasture.
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 do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by fountains of waters doth tend them.
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 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
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 Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, 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, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people, And His afflicted ones He doth pity.
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 And Zion saith, 'Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me.'
Ahijeng vang'in Jerusalem’in aseijin, “Pakaiyin ei nungsun tauve; Pakaiyin ei sumil del tauve,”ati.
15 Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one — the son of her womb? Yea, these forget — but I — I forget not thee.
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 Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls [are] before Me continually.
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 Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.
Gangtah’a nachilhah ho chu hung kile kit diu, chule nasumang go jou seu chu chemang diu ahitai.
18 Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on, And thou bindest them on 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 Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants, And far off have been those consuming thee.
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 Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me — and I dwell.'
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 And thou hast said in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten for me — these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned aside, And these — who hath nourished? Lo, I — I was left by myself, these — whence [are] they?
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 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.
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 And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth — they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.
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 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous 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 For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy striver I strive, and thy sons I save.
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 And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh, And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, [Am] 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.
