Isaiah 66

1 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu ahi: Van hi ka Laltouna ahi, chule leiset hi ka kengphang ngapna ahi. Nanghon hou’in phatah nasah jou dingu hinam? Nanghon hitobang kicholdona khat chu neisahpeh dingu ham?

Thus saith the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will ye build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?

2 Ka khutnin van le leiset asem gel ahin, amaho le asunga uho jouse keima’a ahi, tin Pakai keiman ka naseije! Keiman akineosah le lungchang kisihna neithei mi ka thuseija kithing thei mi chu phatthei kaboh ding ahi.

For all these things are mine, saith the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?

3 Hinla ama ama deilam bou kilhenna, amaho chonsetna hobou deilhen miho chu, akikatdohnau thilto ho jong santhei hilou ding ahi. Hitobang miho chun bongchal kilhainan tohdoh jonguleh, hiho chu mihem’a kilhaina kitohdoh tobangbep’a kila ding ahibouve. Ama hon kelngoi atoji tenguleh, uicha’a kilhaina tobang bepma kila ding ahi! Amahon lousoh ga ahinto ji tengu jongleh, amahon vohcha’a kilhaina thilto abol’uva kila ding ahi. Amahon bego a kilhaina aneijiu jongleh, limsemthu phatthei aboh ‘u tobanga kigel ding ahi.

But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.

4 Amahon akichatnau jouseuva hahsatna kasolpeh ding ahi. Ajeh iham itileh amahon kakou petnin eidonbut pouvin, chule keiman kaseipetnin angaipouve. Ka mitmutah’a amahon chonset abol’uvin, chule ija kaselou chu bol dingin akilhen johtauve.

I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not hearken to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.

5 Hiche thuhi Pakaiya konin ngaijuvin, Athuseija kithing le ging geh’a umho: Namite chun nahot bol’uvin, chule kaminna kitah tah’a napanjeh in nanotthap tauve. Amahon ataitomu’uvin, “Pakai chu jabollin umhen! Ama’a kipah thanomin um'in! tin seijonguleh, amaho chu hung kijumso tei ding ahiuve.

Hear the words of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; speak ye, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.

6 Khopi sunga boina ho jouse hi ipi hija ham? Hou’In'a konna ging thethua khu ipi hija ham? Hiche hi Pakai awgin, amelmate ho douna’a athilbol hija ahi!”

A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.

7 Naosonat ahung kipat masanga, Jerusalem’in chapa khat ahingtai

Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.

8 Hitobang thil kidang hi koijin anamu khah em? Hitobang hi kon anajah khah em? Nam khat chu nikho khatseh’a hungpeng thei ding ham? Chomkhat kahlouva gamkhat chu hung kitungdoh thei ding ham? Hinla Jerusalem’in naosonat athoh pat teng, achate hungpeng doh ding ahi.

Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?

9 Hiche nam mite hi naosonat thoh dinga kapuidoh’a ahia napa ahinlou ding hija ham? tin Pakaiyin adongin ahi. Na Pathen chun, “Hilouve, Keiman hiche nam mite hi peng louva kaumlou ding ahi.

But I have raised this expectation, yet thou hast not remembered me, saith the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? saith thy God.

10 Jerusalem toh kipah thanomun! Amanu ngailou ho jouse le ama lung hempi jouse, nabonchauvin kipah thanomun.

Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all ye that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:

11 Chapang sen anu noitwi’a alungmon bang chun amanu aloupina chamkimna chu bulhingsetnin kipa piuvin.

that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that ye may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.

12 Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi: Keiman Jerusalem hi ninglhinna le chamna lui dung kalonsah ding. Chitin-namtin ahenga hunglut dingu, achateu chu noitwija kivah vaset dingu, abantenia apom’a chule aphei chunga atousah ding ahi.

For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.

13 Minun acha alhamon tobanga keiman nangho hi Jerusalem’a kalhamon ding nahiuve.

As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 Hiche ho jouse hi namusoh tengleh, nalungsung kipah ding chule hampa banga nakidodoh ding ahi. Mitinin Pakai phattheina khut chu asohte chunga amu thei dingu chule amelmate chunga alunghanna amudiu ahije.

And ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.

15 Ven, Pakai chu meikoutoh kilhonin ahungin chule asakol kangtalai chu huipi hung nung gin tobang'in agingdoh jenge. Aman alunghanna’a gimbol dinga hung ding chule aphosalna meikou tobang hiding ahi.

For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.

16 Pakai chun vannoi hi alunghanna le achem jama agimbol ding ahi. Ama’n leiset chung thu atanna Chula mi tampi chu ahintha ding ahi.

For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.

17 Amaho tah kisuthenguva chule honsung lailunga thingphung nung lama lim semthua kisuthenga- thet umtah vohsale juchasa’a chule thil thenglou hoa kivahvaset ho chu hoisetah’a mangthah ding ahiuve.

They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

18 Amahon ipi abol’u kamudoh theijin chule ipi agellu kahedoh theije. Hijeh’a hi keiman nam jouse le mipite kakhop khom’a chule amahon kaloupina amu dingu ahi.

And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

19 Keiman amaho lah’a melchihna khat kavetsah ding ahi. Chule chitin-namtin lah’a thupoa pang ding ho chu - Tarshis’a, Libia miho lah’a, chule Lydia miho (thalkap them tah’ho tobang lah)’a, Tubal ho le Greek mite ho lah’a chule twikhanglen gal lama umho jouse keiman min jakhalou ho, kaloupina mukhaloulaiho henga kasol ding ahiuve.

And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

20 Amaho chun chitin ho lah’akonna namite amohthem ho chu ahinpui khom dingu ahi. Amaho chun kalhangtheng Jerusalema amaho chu Pakaiya kilhaina dinga ahin puilut dingu ahi. Amaho chun sakol ho chunga, sakol kangtalaiho chunga chule sangan chungle sangong sangho chunga hungtou’uva hung ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseije.

And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.

21 Chule keiman amaho lah’a abangkhat chu thempua le Levi mia kalhendoh ding ahije, tia keima Pakaijin kaseisa ahitai.

And I will take of them priests and Levites, saith the Lord.

22 Vanthaho le leithah aumden jing ding tobanga chu, nangho jong chu min amangkit theilou kamite nahi jing dingu ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseije.

For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.

23 Hapta ahapta seh’a chule lhakhatna kona lhakit geija mihem jouse kahenga keima eihou dia hung hung jeng ding ahiuve.

And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, saith the Lord.

24 Chule amaho chu apotdoh tenguleh hitia hi: Tahsa thisa ho ahin laijuva keima eidou ho chun ahin mu dingu ahi. Ajeh chu amaho vallhuma lungtol ho jong chu thilou hel dingu ahi, chule amaho gou dinga mei jong chu itih’a mit thei talou ding chule lampia hungvah le ho jouse chun kidang asahuva tija ding ahiuve.

And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
