Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Jacob insung mite, Israel mina kikouho le Judah insunga konna pengdoh ho kasei hi ngaijun. Pakai mina kihahsel’a, chule Israel Pathen kou hon ngaijuvin: Bol dinga nakitep nau nabol tapouve.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
Nangma khopi theng tia na kiminvo jeng vanguvin chule Israel Pathen, Amin chu Pakai Van Sepaite ti’a kingaija na kisei jenguve.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Masang peh’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kseipehsa nahi. Chutah in Keiman phulou helouvin athu katanin, chule kana thusei jouse chu ahung gui lhungtai.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Ajeh iham itileh keiman itobang loma louchal le thua nunglou nahi kahen ahi. Na ngong jang chu thih banga nem theilouva ahin, nalu jang jong Hah ngehtah tobanga tah’a ahi.
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
Hijeh’a hi ipi hung soh ding ahi kaseipeh ding; ahung guilhun masanga Keiman ipi kabol ding kaseipeh ding nahi. Chutah le nangman, ‘kalim semthu pathen hon abol ahi’ tia na seithei lou ding ahi. Thinga kisem milim le dangka pathen’in thu apeh’ahunglhunga ahitai’ tia nasei thei lou hel ding ahi.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
Nangman kagao thusei dohho najah’a chule aguilhunna ho namu ahitai, hinla nangman ahinai tia nasei ding na nompoi. Tua hi Keiman, thuguh najah khahlou thilthah ho chu kaseipeh ding nahi.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Nangma hon, ‘aphatseh in kahe nauve’ na tilouna dinguva, amaho chu aluiho hilouva, athah leh hiuva ahitai.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Henge, Keiman tu masanga nangman najah khahlou thilho thudol abonna athah ahi, thilho thudol chu ka seipeh ding nahiuve. Ajeh chu Keiman nangho hi na penuva patna itobanga mipedoh’a na hiu le doubol na hiu kahet na hitauve.
9 For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I restrain it for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Hijeng jongleh keima jal le kamin jabolna dinga, Keiman kalung hanna ka kituh’a chule ka suhmanghel lou nahiuve.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Keiman ka suhtheng nahiuvin, hinla dangka kilhatheng tobanga kabol nahipouve. Hinla meisa lah’a tobanga bol hesohna’a konna kalhah theng nahiuve.
11 For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
Kamin jal'a -keima jal jeh’a, Keiman kahoi doh ding nahiuve! Keiman kamin chena hi kamoh beisah lou ding, chule Ka loupina chu lim-semthu to chan kanei lou ding ahi.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Jacob insung mite, ka lhendoh pen Israel’in kasei hi ngaijuvin! Keima bou Pathen, amasa pen le anunung pen chu kahi.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
Ka khut tah’a leiset bul ho ka naphudoh’a, ka khut jetlam'a chunga um van hohi ka phajal ahi. Ahsi ho kakou tengleh, amaho abonuva ban neicha hung kigol ding ahiuve.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Na lim-semthu ho’u chun hiche hi naseipeh khah’uvem? Nabonchauvin hungsoh kei’uvin lang, chule ngai’uvin: Pakaiyin Cyrus chu akigolchat pitai. Ama hin Babylon lengam chu achaina ahin sodoh ding, chule Babylon te galmi hung kitol ho chu asuhmang hel ding ahi.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Keiman kaseisa ahitai: Cyrus chu kakou ahi! Hiche chung chang thua ama palaija ka pansah’a chule ama kalolhinsah ding ahi.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Hin nailutnun lang chule hiche hi ngaijun. Keiman atil abulla patna kichentah’a ipi hung lhung ding ahi kana seipeh nahi tauve. Chule tua hi Pakai thunei chungnung chule aLhagao chun hiche thu poa pang dinga eipansah ahi.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei, na Huhhingpu, Israel Mitheng penpa chun, ‘Keima Pakai na Pathen, nangho dinga ipi apha ham ti nahilpa chule najui ding lampia chu napui ja kahi.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Oh, nanghon kathupeh ho nangai’u hitave leh! Chutileh nanghon chamna chu vadung long banga hunglong intin chule chule chonphatna chu nachunga twikhanglen kinong tobanga nachunga hung kitol lut ding ahi.
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy body like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Nachilhah ho chu twikhanlen panga neldiho tama tam dingu-sima sim jou hilou dingu ahi. Na manthaina dingu ahilouleh na insung min’u kisubei talou ding ahitai.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Hiti chun, tu jengin jong na sohchanna’a konin chamlhat hitan. Babylon le Babylon mite chu dalha tan. Hiche thuhi sadoh in! Leiset kolning lia samphongin! PAKAIyin asohte, Israel mipite ahuhdohtai.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Gamthip gamgo laiya apui sungin amaho adangchah pouve. Aman songpi akehso’in, hiti chun twi chu don dingin ahung putdohtai.
22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
Hinla migilou dingin chamna aumpoi, tin PAKAI chun aseije.
