Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, islands; and let the peoples renew [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us draw near together to judgment.
Twikhanglen gallam sanga um gamho, kam'a sanga thipbeh in umun, kingai phat cheh uvin. Nalung lhailou nau pipen chu hin polut’un. Tuhin hunguvin lang chule seijun. Nachung thu’u kitanna ding mun gontup ahitai.
2 Who raised up from the east him whom righteousness calleth to its foot? He gave the nations before him, and caused him to have dominion over kings; he gave them as dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow.
Solam gam’a kona hiche Lengpa hi, Pathen kinbol thei dinga koi hin tildoh hija ham? Hichepa hin chitin- namtin galla ajo ding chule alenghou jong akeng toa noigep dinga phalna pea chu koi hin tem? Achem jam’in agalmi ho chu huilah’a vutvai aso jenge. Huijin changvai athemang bangin ama’n athalpia amaho chu athe chehtai.
3 He pursued them, he passed on in safety, by a way he had never come with his feet.
Achena khahlou tol chu ahojeng vang'in, amaho chu ano mang soh keijin chule bitkei jin achepeh’e.
4 Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first; and with the last, I [am] HE.
Phat akipat til’a patna khang hung lhung nalai dingho chunga hat tah’a tonga kou khom’a chu koi ahidem? Hiche hi keima Pakai, apatna le chaina, Keima kiti bou hi Kahi.
5 The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they drew near, and came.
Twikhanglen gal lama gam ho chun tijatah'in aveuve. Leiset mong lama umho jong atija’uvin chule galbol din akitil’uve.
6 They helped every one his neighbour, and [each] said to his brother, Take courage.
Milim semho jong akitil toh’uvin, khat le khat akihou uvin, “Lungam’un!” akitiuve.
7 And the artizan encouraged the founder, he that smootheth [with] the hammer him that smiteth on the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fasteneth it with nails, that it be not moved.
Khut them bolpan sana khengpa atilkhouvin, chule sehcha khenga pangpa chun thih khengpa atilkhouvin, Aphatai, ahung hoilheh jengtai, tin aseijuve. Chingthei tah in amahon asutouvin, akilonga le adet loulai umlouna dingin ama hon akil detchetnuve.
8 But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, my friend
Hinla kagolpa Abraham’a kona hung kikhai lha Jacob kalhen doh jal'a hi, Israel nangma kalhacha nahije.
9 — thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from the extremities thereof, and to whom I said, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not rejected thee,
Leiset kolkim vella kona nangma kahenga kalekou nahi, Nangma kalhacha nahijeh’a keiman nangma kalhen doh nahin, kapai doh lou hel ding nahitai, tia kasei ahi.
10 — Fear not, for I [am] with thee; be not dismayed, for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Kicha hih hellin, ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpinai. Lunglha hih hellin, ajeh chu keima na Pathen kahi. Keiman natha hatsah ing ting chule kapanpi ding nahitai. Keiman kajona khut jet lama nangma kadop touding nahi.
11 Lo, all that are incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.
Vetan, namelma teho jouse khu chea lumho khu, lung nohphah’a chule kijum soa ahitauve. Nangma dou chan chu thitei ding chule imacha hung hilou ding ahije.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them — them that contend with thee; they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
Nangma jotei dinga kigoho chu navet jongleh mohseh’a vebep nahi ding ahitai. Nangma nadel khum ho chu imacha hilou dingu ahiuve.
13 For I, Jehovah, thy God, hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Ajeh chu Keima, na Pakai, na Pathen keima tah in nangma khut jetlam katuhnai, chule najah’a kasei ahi, Kicha hih in, keima nangma panpi dinga hikoma uma kahi.
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith Jehovah, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Nangma akineosah lungtol tobangbep, vo Jacob, Kicha hih uvin, Israel miteho, ajeh chu Keiman kapanpi ding nahiuve. Keima na Pakai, na Huhhingpa. Keima Israel Mitheng kitipa chu kahi.
15 Behold, I have made of thee a new sharp threshing instrument having double teeth: thou shalt thresh and beat small the mountains, and shalt make the hills as chaff;
Nangma chang chilna manchah thah, ha’hemtah tampi neija kangkui tobang nahi ding ahi. Nangman na melmate chu nabotel’a naloi khen ding, lhangsang tah tah hoa koldeh kisoh ding ahitai.
16 thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Amaho chu huilah’a napei le le ding, chule hui chun aboncha kei’uva asem mang hel dingu ahi. Chimpei jin amaho chu athe cheh dingu ahitai. Chutengleh nangma Pakaija nakipa ding, Israel tedinga Atheng Khat kitipa’a kithang at ding nahitai.
17 The afflicted and the needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue faileth for thirst: I, Jehovah, will answer them, [I], the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
Mivaicha le ngaichat neihon twi aholleuva amujou lou uva, chule dangchah’a adangu agotlhah tengleh, Keima, Pakaijin amaho chu kahin hou ding, Keima, Israel te Pathen’in, itih channa jong kanungsun lou hel dingu ahitai.
18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs.
Keiman amaho dinga chu munjang lai lai hoa vadung kalonsah ding, keiman amaho dinga phaicham dung’a twinah ho kahin putdohsah ding chuie nelphaiho jong chu twi kiveinaho kasosah ding ahi. Vadung twi hung long chun tolgotna laiho jouse chu apalphei ding ahi.
19 I will give in the wilderness the cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oleaster; I will set in the desert the cypress, pine, and box-tree together;
Keiman gaso theilou nelphaja thingphung ho -ceder thing, thing gi, pahcha thing, Olive thing, thao thing, theichang phungle chah thing ho kaphu ding ahi.
20 that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Hiche kabol hin, hiche thilkidang kibol mu ho jousen ipi kiseina ahi ahetkhen thei diu, hiche kibol hi, Pakai Israel mite dinga Atheng Khat kitipa, asempa’a kon ahi.
21 Produce your cause, saith Jehovah; bring forward your arguments, saith the King of Jacob.
Na milim hou jeh un nachung thu kiseijun, tin Pakaijin aseije. Ama (milim sem thu) ho chun ipi abolthei’uvem hin vetsah’u hen, tin Israelte Lengpa chun aseije.
22 Let them bring them forward, and declare to us what shall happen: shew the former things, what they are, that we may give attention to them, and know the end of them; — or let us hear things to come:
Masang peh a chu ipi anasoh a ham? ti eima hon aphotchet igeltoh theina dinguvin amaho asei dingin kigo uhen. Ahilouva ahileh, hitia chu eihon ipi thil hungsoh thei ja ahi, amaho hin ikhonung dingu thu eihil diu angaije.
23 declare the things that are to happen hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be astonished, and behold it together.
Ahije, nikho hunglhung dinghoa ipi hungsoh ding neiseipeh’uvin. Chutah leh pathenho nahiu hetauvinge. Ahimongin, apha hihen, ase hijongleh nabolnom nom’u bol’uvin. Kalunguva kidangsahna chule kichatsahna lunggel sosahna dingin thil ipiham hinbollin.
24 Behold, ye are less than nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you. ...
Hinla nomlou. Nangho imacha nahihihbeh’uvin, imacha jong naboltheipouvin ahi. Nadeilhen hou jong amahotah chu akisuboh’uvin ahi.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come, — from the rising of the sun, he who will call upon my name; and he shall come upon princes as on mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Hijongleh Sahlam gam'a konin Keiman lamkai khat kahin tildoh in ahi. Solam gam'a konin ama chu aminin kakouvin ahi. Keiman lengho le leng chapate ho chunga gal kajosah ding ahi. Aman amahohi bel dengpan leingan abolna banga amaho chu achilgoi ding ahi.
26 Who hath declared [it] from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, [It is] right? Indeed, there is none that declareth; no, none that sheweth; no, none that heareth your words.
Tonna patna hiche hung lhung ding ahi tihi koijin naseipeh ham? Hiche hi koijin gaova aphon doh hiya, nangman athusei chu adih ahi tia natahsan jong ham? Koiman thucheng khat jong sei aumpoi.
27 The first, [I said] to Zion, Behold, behold them! and to Jerusalem, I will give one that bringeth glad tidings.
Keiman Zion jah’a chun,’Ven! Panpina pe dinga chu ahung naije! Tia aseipeh masapen kahi. Keiman Jerusalem chu kipana thupha pole ding kasolpeh ding ahi.
28 And I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, — and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Na milim ho lah’a khatpenin jong nahilchah pouve. Keiman thudoh kabollin ahileh, thu kadoh phatnin khatchan jong donbutna ahinpepouve.
29 Behold, they are all vanity, their works are nought, their molten images are wind and emptiness.
Ve’uvin, amaho hi abonchauvin angol ngensen ahiuvin, aphatchomna bei ahiuve. Na lim semthu hou jong hui tobanga agohkeo ahiuve.
