1Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
1Tuikulh gahte aw, ka maah dai sisip unla; michihin a hatna uh thaksak nawm uhenla: hongpai nai chiat le uh; huai khit chiangin gen uhen: vaihawm dingin kinaih tuah chiat ni.
2Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
2Suahlam akipan mikhat, diktatna jiak a khe bula a sap, kuan ahia kai halh? Aman lah nam chih a maah a piaa, kumpipate tungah vai a hawmsaka; amau leivui bangin a namsau kiangah a piaa, buhsi huih mut leng bangin a thalpeu kiangah leng a pia hi.
3He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
3Aman amaute a delha, bittakin a pai jela; a khea a pai nailouhna lampi-ah.
4Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
4Atunga kipan suan tengteng samin, kuan ahia sema, hih khin? Kei TUOPA, a masapen leh nanungpen kia ka om, a hihpa tak ka hi
5The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
5Tuikulh gamten amu ua; a lau ua; kawlmongte a ling ua: a honnaiha, a hongpai ua.
6They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
6Mi chihin amau lawmte a panpih ua; mi chihin a unaute uh kiangah, Khamuang takin om un, a chi chiat uh.
7So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
7Huchiin, a bulhkipna lam thu-ah, A noih hi, chiin, khutsiam miin dangkaeng sekmi a hasuana, seka sekmum sekdou sekmi a hasuana: huan, a linlouhna dingin kilhna tein a kilh kipta.
8But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
8Himahleh nou Isrealte ka sikha, Jakopte kamitel, ka lawm Abraham suante aw,
9Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
9Nou, lei tawpna akipana ka mi pi, a nawl akipana ka mi sap, ka sikhate na hi ua, honpaikhe louin ka hontel jaw hi, ka honchihte aw,
10Fear thou 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.
10Lau kei un, kei lah na kiang uah ka om ngala; mangbang kei un, kei lah na Pathian uh ka hi ngala: ka honhatsak dinga; ahi, ka honpanpih ding; ahi, ka diktatna khut taklamin ka honlen gige ding.
11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
11Ngaiin, na tung ua lungkimlou tengtengzahlak tak leh zum takin a om ding uh: nou honselte lah bangmahlou bang ahi ding ua, a mang ding uh.
12Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
12Nou honselte na zong ding ua, namu tuan kei ding uh: nou hon doute lah bangmah lou bang ahi ding ua, thil omlou bang lel ahi ding uh.
13For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
13Kei TOUPA na Pathian un, Lau kei un, ka honpanpih ding, chiin, na khut taklam ulah ka len sin ngala.
14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
14Nou Jakob tangtel leh Isreal mite aw, lau kei un, ka honpanpih ding, TOUPAN a chi, nou hon tanpa tuh Isrealte Mi Siangthou a hi
15Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
15Ngaiin, buhsukna khawl thak mahmah, hiam mahmah, ha neiin ka honbawl ding; tangte khawng chilin na khen jan ding ua, mualpawngte lah buhsi bangin na bawl ding uh.
16Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
16Na jap ding ua, huihin a mut leng dinga, pingpeiin a hih dalh ding: huan, noute TOUPA ah na kipak ding ua, Isrealte Mi Siangthoupa na hon suang ding uh.
17When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
17Mi genthei leh tagahten tui a zong jel ua, a om ngal keia, a lei uh dangtakin a hul khinjel; kei TOUPAIN amau ka dawng dinga, kei Isrealte Pathianin amaute ka paisan kei ding.
18I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
18Tangsang giau-ahte luite ka luangkhesak dinga, guam laizangahte tuinakte ka suaksak ding: gamdai dilin ka bawl dinga, gam keu leng tuinakin ka bawl ding hi.
19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
19Gamdaiah sidar singte, singgite, muite, thau singte ka suan dinga, gam keuah meilah singte, phante, singgelh chite ka suan khawm vek ding:
20That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
20TOUPA khutin huaite a hih ahi chih leh Isrealte Mi Siangthouin a siam ahi chih a muh ua, a theih ua, a ngaihtuah ua, a theisiam theina ding un.
21Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
21Na thu uh hong gen un, TOUPAN achi; Pathianin na chihna sanpen uh sulang un, Jakopte Kumpipan a chi.
22Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
22Huaite sulang uhenla, thil hong tung dingte I kiang uah gen uhen; I ngaihtuah theina ding leh a tawpna ding I theih theina dingin, tuma thilte bang ahia gen un; ahihkeileh, thil hongtung dingte hontheisak un.
23Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
23Pathian na hi uh chih ka theih theihna ding un tunungchianga thil hongtung dingte gen un; ahi, I mangbat chiatna ding un leh I et chiat ding un thil hoih hiam thil hoihlou hiam hih dih ua le.
24Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
24Ngai un, bangmah nana hi kei uhi, na thil hih u leng bangmah ahi sam kei: nou hontelte lah mi kihhuaipi na hi uhi.
25I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
25Mal lama kipan mi khat ka ding saka, amah a hontunga; ni suahna akipan ka min loupa; aman suang bulhkipna bawl bangin vaihawmmite a bawl dinga, belvelmiin bellei a chil mah bangin a chil ding hi.
26Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
26I theih theihna ding un kuan ahia a tunga kipan gen ngei? Amah jaw a dik hi, I chih theihna ding un kuan ahia gen khol ngei? A hi gen himhim a om kei uh, ahi, theisak him him a omkei uh, ahi, na thugente uh za himhim a om kei uh.
27The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
27Ken Zion kiangah, Enin amau en dih, ka chi masa dinga, Jerusalem kiangah tanchin hoih hontunmi khat ka pe ding.
28For 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.
28Huan, ka etin leng mi himhim a om kei ua; amau ka dotin leng. A lak ua lemtheimi, thu khat leng dawng thei, kua mah him him leng a om kei uh.En un, a vek un, a nasepte uh bangmah lou ahi a, thil om lou himhim ahi: a milim sunte u lah huaih leh huihkhua lel ahi hi.
29Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
29En un, a vek un, a nasepte uh bangmah lou ahi a, thil om lou himhim ahi: a milim sunte u lah huaih leh huihkhua lel ahi hi.
