Isaiah 46
1 Babylon te pathen ho- Bel le Nebo, chu tol lama abungin akun lhonne. Ama ni hi bong kang’a poh thethun atol manguvin ahi. Pohpo gancha teni chun poh lel jeh’in alon pi le len ahi.
Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle. The things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
2 Lim semthu teni le anei hou chu akun lhasuh un ahi. A pathen hou chun amite aveng bit jou pon, chule ami teuvin a pathen’u aveng bit jou pouve. Abonchauvin, sohchang dingin apui mang tha’uvin ahi.
They stoop, they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Jacob chilhah hon kasei hi ngaijun lang, Israel sunga amoh them jouse, Keiman nangho napen’uva patna ka gelkhoh’u nahiu ahitai. Henga, napen masang peh’uva kavop na hiu ahitai.
Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from their birth, who have been carried from the womb.
4 Na hinkhou lhung keija Keima na Pathen’u kahi ding ahi- Na kum’u ahung tah jeh’a nasam kan gei ja jong, Kasem nahiuvin, nangho kagelkhoh jing ding nahiuve. Keiman kapui leuva chule kahuhdoh ding nahiuve.
And even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear, yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 Keima hi koito nei tekah dingu hitam? Koi ham ka kibahpi chu?
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
6 Mi phabep ho chun adangka hou le asana ho’u chu ajunsah un chule chua kona lim semthu pathen sem dingin mi aki thalah’un ahi. Ama ho chu milim anga chun akunuvin chuin hichu ahou’uvin ahi.
Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down, yea, they worship.
7 Ama hon alenguva apo le leuvin, chule ama hon akoilhah tenguleh, chua chun aum denin, achat loh theipoi. Akoma ga taova jong adonbut theipon, koima jong hahsatna’a ahuhdoh theipoi.
They bear it upon the shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands. From its place it shall not remove. Yea, he may cry to it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Hiche hi sumil hih in! Lunga chingin! Themona neihon hiche hi geldoh’un.
Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Phatchesa’a kathilboldoh ho geldoh in. Ajeh iham itileh Keima bou Pathen kahi! Keima Pathen Kahin, chule kei tobang koima aumpoi.
Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else. I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Keiman khonung thu ahung lhung ding, aguilhun masanga kahil thei nahiuve. Kagonsa, kagel chan chu bol jia kahi jeh in, hung gui lhung tei ding ahije.
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure,
11 Keiman Solam gam'a kona vacha leng gang tah ne hattah chu kakouva- gamla tah gam'a konna lamkai khat hungin tin chule katepna banga abol ding ahi. Keiman kabol ding ahi kanati chu, Kabol tei ding ahi.
calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed. I will also do it.
12 Mi louchal ho, thilpha bolna dinga gamla tah’a umho, kasei ngaijuvin.
Hearken to me, ye stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness:
13 Ajeh iham itileh thil ijakai adih bolna dinga kigosa um kahi, agamla tah ding hijo louvin, tu tua ding kasei ahi. Keiman Jerusalem kahuhdoh nomin, chule Israel henga kaloupina kavet sah ding ahi.
I bring near my righteousness. It shall not be far off. And my salvation shall not tarry, and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
