Isaiah 50
1 This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
Hichehi Pakaiyin asei chu ahi: “Nanu chu keiman kada ahi tah jeh’a kisol manga ham? Ka thil bat ho jeh’a nangho soh’a ka johdoh’u ham? Ahipoi, na chonset jeh’uva kijohdohsa nahiu ahitai. Chule na chonset jeh’uva nanu’u jong kipui manga ahije.
2 Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.
Ipi iti danna ka hung petna koima cha umlou ahi dem? Ka kou petna iti dana koima eidonbutna umlou hin tem? Keiman huhdoh theina tha neilouva neigel’u ahi dem? Hiche hi ajeh kisei chu ahipoi! Ajeh iham itileh keiman twikhanglen koma thu kasei leh tolgo soh ‘a ahitai. Keiman vadung chu nelphai kasosah’a nga umho thi gam'a ahiiuve.
3 By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
Keiman vanthamjol muthim kasosah’a, amaho chu lunghemna pon hoa kitom ahiuve.
4 The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:
Thunei pen Pakaiyin Achihna thu eipei, hiche hi Keiman athachol kalhamon theina ding ahi. Jingkah ahung lhun seh le Ama’n eisukhang jin chule kahet khen them theina din Ama lunglam’a chona toh eihon thapeh in ahi.
5 And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.
Thanei pen Pakaiyin ka koma thu ahin seijin chule keiman ka ngaipeh’e. Keiman Ama ka doupon chule ka kiheimang jeng poi.
6 I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.
Keima eivo dingho lama ka nung kado peh in chule ka khamul bot lha goho koma kabeng ka dopeh’e. Keiman noisebolna le chilset khuma konin kamai kaselpoi.
7 For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.
Ajeh chu Thunei chungnung Pakaiyin eipan pin, keima lungsetna bei hi ponge. Hijeh’a hi keiman kamai song tobanga katahsah’a, Alunglam bol dinga kakigot ahitai. Chule keima jachatna’a chulou ding kahi.
8 He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.
Keima them eichansahpa chu naicha um ahi. Tua hi keima douna thusei ding koi alung ngam dem? Keima themo eichan ho chu koi koi hiu vem? Amaho chu hung kilu lah’u hen!
9 See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.
Vetemin, keima Thuneipen Pakai chu kei lama apange. Koi ham eithemo chansah dinga? Ka melmate ho jouse chu ponlui tobang hiuvin tin, mase mon’in aneh tobanga kisumang ding ahiuve.
10 Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
Nalah’uva koijin Pakai agin’a chule alhachapa thusei angai jem? Nangma muthim lah’ a khovah ‘a navalea ahileh, Pakai tahsanin chule na Pathen’a lung ngaijin.
11 See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
Hinla ching theijun, nangma vah’a vahlen lang chule nangma tah mei nati chu kisang lum’in. Hiche hi nangman keija kona nakisan ding chu ahi. Nangma gangtah’a nalhah lutna thohhasa nathoh ding ahitai.
