Isaiah 44
1 Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Hijongle tuhin kalhachapa Jacob, kalhendohpa Israel kasei ngaijin.
2 This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Pakai nasempa le napanpi chun aseije: Kicha hih in, Vo Jacob, kasohpa. Kalungset vo Israel, kalhendoh penpa.
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring;
Ajeh chu keiman nadangchah dangnou sahna dingin twi kahinsun lhah ding chule naloulai ju aleiset goho chu boltheina dinga twi kahin nensah ding ahi. Chule keiman ka lhagao nason-nachilhah ho’u chunga ka Lhagao kabuhlhah ding ahi.
4 and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Amaho hi twi kichapnou ham hing tobang ding, vadung pama huisum thing phung tobang diu ahi.
5 One will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s.’ Another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to Yahweh,’ and honor the name of Israel.”
Abangho chun kiletsah tah’a, “Keima Pakaiya kahi,”atidingu ahi. Adangho chun, “Keima Jacob chilhah kahi,”atidiu ahi. Mi abang khatloi chun Pakai min chu akhut chunguva ajih dingu chule Israel min chu ama hoa akisan dingu ahitai.
6 This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin aseichu- Israelte Lengpa le Huhhingpu chu, Vanna Pakai galmi ahiuve, ati dingu:
7 Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
Keitobang koi umham? Ama chun malama kal hin song hen chule athuneina photchenna hinpe hen. Keiman phat masa laiya kana phudetna chule akhonung ding kana phudohsa peh tobang'in ama jong chun boldoh hen.
8 Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”
Tijat bol hih un, kicha hihbeh un. Keima masang peh’a nangho dinga Pathen dang koi umem? Kalung gon kaphondohsa hita lou ham? Nangho hi Keima het tohsah’a panga nahiuvin- Pathen adang um mong em? Songpi dang aumpoi- khat jeng jong aumpoi.
9 Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
Milim semtu sema pangho itobang tah’a ngol hiu vem? Asahlut tah hou hi aphatchomna bei ahi. Milim semthu houhon hiche hi ahepouvin, hijeh’a hi abonchauva kisum souva ahi.
10 Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
Koiham angol’a ahilouleh pathen akisem thu thei ding ham? Milim kisemthu khatnin themcha’a jong akithopi theilou hija ahi.
11 Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
Milim semthu hou ho, adeh’a asema pang ho hi jachat umtah ahiuvin- mihem mai mai bep ahiuvin-pathen kasem thei diu ahi tin akithang at’uvin ahi. Amaho pang khom theinau vinte, hinla amaho hi tijatna le jachatna mun’a hung ding diu ahiuve.
12 The blacksmith takes an ax, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
Chuphatnin, thih khengpa chu ameisa akonin manchah hemtah sem dingin adingdoh in, athaneina pumpi panin thih chu akhengin chule adei bangin asemin ahi. Anatoh jallin ama agil kellin chule alhachomin, chule hichun adangchah sah in chule alhadah jengtai.
13 The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
Chuphatnin, thingthem bolpa chun thing bong ho chu ate tohna alan, chule agol kaina’a chun gol akaijin, atetoh in chule agongso chu aumdoh sahtai. Aman chah hemtah chu apanin chule atoltoh in, hiti chun mihem limin ahin semdoh in, mihem’hoina limpun asem’in, chuin a pathen houna in na neo sunga chun akoitai.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.
Ama’n Cedar thingho chu aphuh ‘in, kheng thing le khongnang thing phung chu alhengdoh in, chah thing chu gam mang lah’a aphutnin chule go hung ju lha chun achap nou jin ahi.
15 Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he burns it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
Chujouvin aman thing go phabep chu meiya atih’in, hiche chu aman aki’oijin chule aching lhah jong akisem’in ahi. Chutah in amoh chengse chu pathen’na houthei dingin akisemin, hiche alim semthu masanga chun akuntai.
16 He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
Ama’n thing phabep chu atih kouvin, sa chu akigon, chule oi jong aki’oijin, hiche meisa hi anom’e, tin aseitai.
17 The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”
Chujouvin aman thing amoh chengse chu ala’n, semthu pathen’lim akisuitai. Chuche masanga chun adilsun, ahouvin chule ahenga chun ataove: “Nei huhdoh in, nangma ka-pathen nahi” tin aseije.
18 They don’t know, neither do they consider, for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see, and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
Hibang lom’a ngol chonna le hetna neilou hi! Amitnu asin jeh un, amuthei tapouve. Alungu akihonlou jeh in, agelthei tapouve.
19 No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
Alim semthu sema panga jong chun, “hiche hi thinggo kisem thua ahibouve!” Mei luma tidingin akeh khat kahaltai, chule kachang lhah kanna ding le sagomina dingin kamangtai. Iti danna amoh chengse chu pathen kisohthei ding hija? Keiman thing amoh um chu Pathen houva kahou ding hija ham? tia lunga dattohna jong aneipoi!
20 He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
Mi vaicha chu ahilou hel atahsan sah un, mi ngol vutvaija kivah ahi. Apanpi theilou hel ding khat chu atahsan ahitai. Hinla, “Hiche lim kisem thu kakhutna katuh hi jou thubuh hilou ham?”tia amachang kidohna aneithei dehpon ahi.
21 Remember these things, Jacob and Israel, for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
Vo Jacob, lung gillin ngaiton, ajeh chu nangma kalhacha nahi, vo Israel. Keima Pakai, nasempa kahin, chule Keiman kasuhmil louhel ding nahi.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
Keiman mei bang kitol to banga nachonsetna ho katol mangtai. Keiman nasuhkhel ho chu jingkah daitui tobang'in kanoimang gam ahitai. Oh kahenga hungkile kitnin, ajeh chu nangma chamlhatsah dinga keiman aman kapehchai ahitai.
23 Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
Vo Vanho, vahchoina la sauvin, ajeh chu Pakaiyin thil kidangtah aboltai. Kipah thanomin samuvin, leiset noi lama hon jong! Vo lhangsangho le gammang ho chule thingphung tinin, La hinsa doh uvin! Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Jacob ahuhdoh in chule Israel lah’a choi’atnin aumtai.
24 Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
Hiche hi Pakai na Huhhingpa le na Sempa chun, “Keima hi Pakai thil jouse sempa chu kahi. Keiman van hohi kapha jal ahi. Leiset kasempetna kakoma koi umem? Tia asei ahi.
25 who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
Keiman themgao lhem ho chu mijou ahiuve tia kasosal’a chule thil hung lhung dia gaova thusei ho mingol ho kati ahi. Keiman miching ho chu thumopna phalou kapeh’a, hitia chu amaho chu angolnau kaphot chet ahitai.
26 who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’
Hinla ka themgao ho thuphon chu kasuh bulhit peh in ahi! Amaho chu Kaman chah’a Jerusalem jah’a, “Miho ho chu hiche muna hi chengkit ding ahiuvin chule Judah khopi hoa, “Nangho kisadoh kit ding nahiuvin, nanei amangho kahin kiledohsah kit ding nahiuve,” tia kaseipeh ahi.
27 who says to the deep, ‘Be dry,’ and ‘I will dry up your rivers,’
Keiman vadung ho jah’a, “Kang tauvin,” kati teng, kang jeng diu ahitai.
28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,’ even saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built;’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”
Cyrus jah’a chu, “Ama ka Kelngoichingpa ahi, tia kasei teng, kasei tobanga aman aboltei ding hija ahi. Aman thu apeh’a, “Jerusalem sapha kitnun, atiding: ‘Hou’In sempha kit’uvin,’tia aseiding ahije.
