Isaiah 54

1 Vo cha neilou nu, cha hing khalou hel nu nangman, lan san! Vo Jerusalem, aw ging le kipah thanom tah in la san. Naoso nat thoh khalou hel numei, dalhah’a um numei nu chun, ajipato chengkhom nu sangin, cha atam hin johtai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.

Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,

2 Na in keh lenin, chule abanin khat sahben. Na in sah chu kijalsah in, chule sumchena ding itchah hih hellin.

Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;

3 Ajeh iham itileh bailam tah’a nangma na kidop sangna chun nakipa sah ding ahi. Nason nachi lhah ho chun nam dangho gam aloding chule khopi mangthah hoa chu gacheng kit diu ahi.

spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Jachatna hinkho naman kit lou ding ahitah jeh in, kicha hih in. Nangma not thapna chang lou ding nahi tah jeh in kicha hih beh in. Nangman na khangdonlai jachatna ho le meithai lunghemna jong na geldoh kittah lou helding ahitai.

Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.

5 Ajeh iham itileh na- Sempa chu najipa hung hiding; Amin chu Van Galmite Pakai akiti. Ama chu Vannoi pumpi Pathen, Israelte Atheng Penpa, na Chodohpa chu ahi.

For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.

6 Ajeh iham itileh Pakaiyin - nangma khang dong cha jinei, ajipan adalhah tobanga, nangma nalung hemna’a konna hin koukitna ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.

The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.

7 Phat chomcha kadon lou nahin, hijongleh khoto them tah’a kale lah kit ding nahi.

For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.

8 Lunghan koujah jeh’a chomcha khat kamai kahei mang anahi. Hinla tonsot ngailutna’a keiman nangma kakhoto ding nahi, tin na-Pakai, na -Chodohpan aseije.

In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.

9 Keiman Noah phat laiya kana kihahsella, Keiman twi-sangletna leiset pumpi kachupsah kit tahlou hel ding ahi tia kanasei banga, tua hi kakihahsel’a, Keima kalung hangkit talou ding chule kagimbol lou ding nahitai.

From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,

10 Ajeh iham itileh molsang ho kichon hen lang chule mol’ho kichon mang ding hijongleh, ka ngailutna kitahna nangma chunga ka umsah den ding, ka kitepna phatthei bohna chu itih’a kisukeh lou hel ding ahitai, tin ahepina nachunga koipa Pakaiyin aseije.

shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].

11 Vo khopi huijin asuh ling jing, boija chule kinepna um talou khopi! Keiman nangma songman tam’a kasah phatna chule na’inbul ho chu saphir songa kaphudet ding ahi.

Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;

12 Keiman na in sang ho chu songman tam vah lap lap’a kasem’a, na kelkot ho chu valleh leh’a kajepma chule na- in bang ho jong chu song mantam’a kijep ding ahije.

and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.

13 Keiman nachateho jouse kahil ding, chule amahon lungmonna bulhingset’ nomsa ding ahiuve.

And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

14 Thu adih le ahoia kivaipohna khat umna’a chu nangma ki huhbit ding nahi. Na melmate nangma’a konna gamla tah’a kichon doh dingu, nangma lungmonga nachen ding, tijatnan nahin nailou ding ahitai.

And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.

15 Nangma douna a nam khat galla nasat dinga ahunga ahileh, keima hinsol ahipoi. Koi hijongleh nano khum ho chu gallel’a kumsuh ding ahiuve.

Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.

16 Keiman thih khengpa kasem ahin, ama chun pum meiya meihol ajapma chule gal manchah kisuh gamna ding akhendoh ahi. Keiman asumang ding sepai ho semsa kakoi ahitai.

Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].

17 Hijongleh ahung lhung ding nikho’a chu nangma douna’a gal manchah pan ho chu lolhing pouvinte. Nangma oimo dinga aw sanga thusei ho chu nangman napho thip ding ahi. Hiche phatchomna hohi Pakai lhachate chang ding ahiuve. Hiche kisei adihna photchetna hi keija kon hunga ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.

I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
