Isaiah 35

1 Hiche nikho hoa chu gamthip gam leh nelgam geija kipah thanom diu ahi. Gammang ho hung kipah intin, pahcha pah banga hung pah ding ahi.

Be glad, you thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

2 Ahi, pahcha ninglhing setnin um intin, lasah leh kipa thanopna umding ahi! Lebanon lhangho bangin nelgam ho hung eng intin, carmel molhoi banga hoiding chule Sharon Phaicham hung bang ding ahi. Hilaija chu Pakai chun aloupina ahinvet sah ding, i Pathen u loupina chu.

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

3 Hiche chungchang thu ahin khut kham ho hatsah inlang, khupbuh lhasam ho chu tilkhou vin.

Be strong, you relaxed hands and palsied knees.

4 Kichat um lungchang neiho henga seijin, “Hat inlang, kicha hih in, ajehchu na galmite sumang din na Pathen ahunge. Na huhdoh din ahunge.”

Comfort one another, you faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgement, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.

5 Amachu ahung teng, mitcho kho amusah ding, chuleh nangong kho ajahsah ding ahi.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

6 Kengbai sakhi banga kichom ding, paothei lou hon kipah'a la asah diu ahi! Tuinah ho akon tui hung longlhan gamthip gam hin phantin, vadung hon gammang ahin chapnou ding ahi.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.

7 Tolgo jong dilneo hung soh ding chuleh tuinah a tui hung long lhan gamgo ho asuh lung lhaiding ahi. Nel gam'a si-al ho chenna leh akol naova chu hampa toh pumpeng leh phai pheng hung kehding ahi.

And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

8 Gam kidalhasa mun khat na lampi lentah hung kilhung lut ding ahi. Hichu thenna lamlen tia amin kivo ding ahi. Gitlou lungthim puhon hilai chu a ho loihel diu ahi. Pathen dei'a vahle hoa ding bou ahi; mingolho hilai'a chu vahle louhel diu ahi.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

9 Keipi bahkai hon sa achan lou diu, sahingne gamsa hojong lha le lou diu ahi, kichat le tijatna ho jong lha le lou diu ahi, Kichat le tijatna umlou ding ahi. Lhatdoh'a umho bou lhale diu ahi.

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,

10 Pakai in alhatdoh ho hung kinung lediu ahi. Tonsot kipana lallukhuh kikhuh banga akikhuh uva, lasah pum'a Jerusalem hung lut diu ahi. Lunghemna leh puldouna manghel ding, kipana leh thanop na'a dim diu ahitai.

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.
