Isaiah 52
1 Thoudoh in, thoudoh in, Vo Zion! Nangmatah nathahatnan hung kivon’in. Naponsil hoitah chu kisillin, ajeh chu mi theng lou le Pathen ngaisah lou ho chu na kelkot honga hunglut talou ding ahitauve, Vo khopi theng, Jerusalem.
Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, holy city; for never again will the uncircumcised or the unclean enter you.
2 Vut vailah’a konin thoudoh in, jabolna muna touvin, Vo Jerusalem. Nangong changa soh kihenna thihkhao ho chu paimangin. Vo soh a kikaimang, Zion chanu.
Shake yourself off from the dust; arise and sit, Jerusalem; take off the chain from your neck, captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Ajeh iham itileh hiche hi Pakai sei: ‘Keiman nangho chu kajohdoh’a gam danga kathotdoh’ chun, keiman imacha kakilah dehpoi. Tua keiman naman dingu petalouva, kalhatdoh thei’u nahitauve.
For this is what Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 Hiche hi Thuneipen Pakai chun aseije: Phat masa lai chun kamiten Aigupta gam'a chenna din akilhenuve. Tua hi Assyria ten amaho abol hesoh’uve.
For this is what the Lord Yahweh says, “In the beginning my people went down to live temporarily in Egypt; and Assyria has oppressed them for no good reason.
5 Hiche hi ipi thu hitam? tin Pakaiyin aseije. Ipi iti danna kamite chu sohchang kitna hiu vem? Achunguva vaihom ho chu kithang at tah in asamuve. Kamin hi nilhum keijin ataitom’uvin ahi.
Now what do I have here—this is Yahweh's declaration—seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Hijongleh Kamin hi Kamite henga kaphon doh ding, chule athaneina ahin het dingu ahitai. Chuteng leh achaina keija amahon keima hi akomuva thusei penpa kahi chu ahetdoh dingu ahitai.
Therefore my people will know my name; they will know in that day that I am the one who says, “Yes, it is I!”
7 Lhang sangho chunga thupole’a pang, Israel Pathen chu avaihomtai, tia Chamna Kipana Thupha le huhhingna thupoho kengphang chu iti hoiya hoi hitam!
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, who announces peace, who bears good tidings, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Pakai chu Jerusalem’a ahung kile chun, Khopi ngahpa chun asamin chule amit mu’uva chun kipah le thanom tah in la asatai.
Listen, your watchmen raise their voices, together they shout for joy, for they will see, every eye of theirs, Yahweh's return to Zion.
9 Pakaiyin Amite alhamon’a, Jerusalem alhatdamtah jeh in, ana kisuchimsa Jerusalem chun kipah le thanom tah in vahchoina la hin sadoh hen.
Break out into joyful singing together, you ruins of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Chitin- namtin mit mua Pakaiyin athaneina thengtah chu avetsahtai. I Pathen’uvin agal jona leiset kolkim vella miten amusohkei dingu ahi.
Yahweh has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Natoh khah chasun thenglou ahina’a konin potnin, potdoh'in chule nasohchanna chu dalhatan. Pakai dia athenga thil ho a’inlama pohon, hichea konhin potnun lang chule kisuthengun.
Leave, leave, go out from there; touch nothing unclean; leave from her midst; purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
12 Nanghon na hinkhou kihuhbitna dinga, kino loutah’a na dalhah diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai chu na masang sanguva anamasa ding; Israel Pathen chun na nunglamu ahonbit ding ahi.
For you will not go out in a rush, nor will you leave in a panic; for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearguard.
13 Veuvin, Kalhacha chu lolhing ding, Ama sangtah’a choisanga um ding ahi.
Look, my servant will act wisely; he will be high and lifted up, and he will be exalted.
14 Hinla mitampi chun amu phat’uvin kidang asauve. Amaa mai chu akilom hihbeh jengin, mihem mel aputahbeh tapon, chule alimsoa konin, ama chu mihem shi tia ahedoh ding hahsante.
As many were horrified at you— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form no longer looked like anything human.
15 Chule aman namtin-vaipi alungkidan sah ding, Lengho jong Ama angsunga thusei ding helouva umding ahiuve. Ajeh chu amaho kiseipehlou amudingu, chule ajahkhahlou beh’u chu ahetkhen dingu ahitai.
Even so, my servant will sprinkle many nations and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For that which they had not been told, they will see, and that which they had not heard, they will understand.
