¹Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

¹Lungmuan un, ka mite lungmuan un, na Pathian un a chi.

²Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

²Jerusalemte kiangah lungmuan lamsangin thugen unla, a galdouna uh hih zoh a hitaa, a khelhna uh ngaihdam ahi a, a thil hih khelh tengteng gun ding in Toupa khutta kipan amunihin a muta uh chih hilh un.

³The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

³Tua! Kikou awin, Gamdaiah Toupa lampi bawl unla, gam keu-ah I Pathian adingin lamlian kilualsak un.

⁴Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

⁴Guam chih sansak ahivek dinga, tang chih mual chih niamsak ahi ding: lampi kawite tansak ahi dinga, a phokna lailai hihlual ahi ding:

⁵And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

⁵Huan, Toupa thupina hihlat ahi dinga, mi tengtengin huai a mu diamdiam chiat ding uh: Toupa kamin lah a genta ngala, a chi a.

⁶The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

⁶Tua! awin, Kikou in, a chi. Huan, miin, bang thu gen din kaki kou dia? a chi-a. Mi tengteng loupa bang ahi ua, a thupina tengteng uleng pawna pak bang ahi.

⁷The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

⁷Toupa huin a mut jiakin loupa a vuaia, a pak a tul nak: mite jaw loupa bang ahi mahmah uhi.

⁸The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

⁸Loupa a vuaia, a pak a tul jel: i Pathian thu ubel khantawn in a om gige ding, chiin, a chi a.

⁹O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

⁹Zion kianga a tanchin hoih hilh mi aw, tangsang mahmahte khawngah vahoh tou un; Jerusalem kianga tanchin hoih hilh mi aw, ngaihtakin na aw suahin; suahin, lau ken; Juda khuate kiangah, En un, na Pathiah uh!

¹⁰Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

¹⁰En un, Toupa Pathian mi hattak bang in a hongpai sin hi; a banin a sikin vai a hawm ding: en un, a kipahman lah a kiangah a om hi, a ditna leng amaah a om.

¹¹He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

¹¹Aman belamchingpa bangin a belamhon a vak dinga, belamnoute a banin a pomkhawm dinga, a ang sunga koihin a paipih dinga, noukailaite bel awlawl in a pi hiathiat ding, chiin.

¹²Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

¹²Kuan ahia tuite a khutpek kuak lela teha, tunga van khap lela teh a, leia leivui tehna khat lel a thun veka, tangte lah khaina lel a khaia, mualpawngte lah bukna lela buk?

¹³Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

¹³Kuan ahia Toupa kha thilhih dan ding kawkmuh? ahih keileh kua ahia amah lemsehsak hi-a amah chi?

¹⁴With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

¹⁴Aman kua a dong a, kuan ahia amah theisaka, vaihawm lampi ensaka, theihna hilha, theihsaimna lampi ensak ngei?

¹⁵Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

¹⁵Ngaiin, namchih lah baltina tui tak khat bang lel ahi ua, buknaa banghiam nen bang lela seh ahi ua, ngaiin, aman lah tuikulh gante thilneu neuchikte bangin a dom jel hi.

¹⁶And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

¹⁶Lebanon nangawn khul tham ahi keia, a gama gante leng halmanga kithoihnatham ahi sam kei hi.

¹⁷All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

¹⁷Namchihte lah a maah bangmahlou bang ahi ua, amah ngaihtuahin bangmahlou sanga tawm jaw, huihkhua lel ahi uhi.

¹⁸To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

¹⁸Pathian kua toh teh dia kisa na hi ua? Ahihkaleh, bang lim ahia amah toh na teh ding uh?

¹⁹The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

¹⁹Milim bawltawm zaw, nasem miin a sunga, dangkaeng sek min dangkaeng in a luan khum a, huai adingin dangka khainiangte a sunsak jel

²⁰He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

²⁰Huchibang thilpiak pe zou lou-a, genthei lo mahmahin sing muat lou ding a tel jel, milim bawl tawm, ling lou ding, amah adia bawlkhiak sak ding khutsiam mi a zongjel hi.

²¹Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

²¹Na lungsim un na theingei kei ua hia? Na bil un na za ngei kei ua hia? a tunga kipan in hon hilh kei ua hia? Lei pian chila kipanin na theisiam kei ua hia?

²²It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

²²Amah jaw lei kualkhumna tunga tupa ahi, amah mitmuhin leitunga omte khaupe bang lel ahi uh, amah jaw tunga van puanin tung banga kai palha, Puan in omna ding a jak a, miliante bangmahlou suaksakpa ahi.

²³That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

²³Amah leitunga vaihawmmite bangmahlou-a bawl nakpa ahi.

²⁴Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

²⁴Ahia, suan ahi kei ua; ahi, a tuh ahi kei uh; ahi, a kung un leiah zung a kai kei: huailouin aman amau a muta, a vuai ua, pingpeiin buhsi a lak mang bangin a la mang nak hi.

²⁵To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

²⁵Kua toh honteha, kua kimpih lela honsep dek na hi ua? Mi siangthouin a chi

²⁶Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

²⁶Tunglam khawngah na mit uh haksak unla, huai thilte khawng kua siam hiam en un; aman tuh sepaihte kizomzom in a pi khe jela, a min chiat un a sam jela; a hatna thupina jiak leh thilhihtheihna lama a hat jiakin khat lel leng kimlo a om ngei kei uhi.

²⁷Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

²⁷Jakobte aw, Bangchia hichibanga chi na hi ua, Isrealte aw, bangchia, hichibanga thugen na hi ua, Ka lampi jaw Toupa laka sel ahi a, a honvaihawmsakna ka Pathian laka lak mang ahi, chih?

²⁸Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁸Na lungsim in na theingei kei ua hia? Na bil un na za ngei kei ua hia? Khantawn Pathian. TOUPA kawlmong Siampa, a bah ngei keia, a gim ngei sam louhdan; a theihsiamdan zon khiak vual ahi kei hi.

²⁹He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

²⁹Bahte kiangah thilhitheihna a pe jela; hatna him him neiloute a hatsak naknak hi.

³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³⁰Tuailaite nangawn leng a bah un a gim ding ua, tangvalte leng a puk zou ding uh:TOUPA ngakten jaw a hatna uh a thaksak nawn ding ua; muvanlaite bangin khain a leng tou ding ua; gim louin a tai ding ua; bah louin khein a pai ding uhi.

³¹But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

³¹TOUPA ngakten jaw a hatna uh a thaksak nawn ding ua; muvanlaite bangin khain a leng tou ding ua; gim louin a tai ding ua; bah louin khein a pai ding uhi.
