¹Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

¹Tuin jaw, Jakobte, ka sikhate aw, ka tel Israealte aw, ngaikhia unla:

²Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

²toupa, nou honsiampa, sul akipana nou hon bawlpa, nou honpanpih ding pan hichiin a chi: Ka sikha Jakobte aw, ka tel nou Jesurunte aw, lau kei un.

³For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

³Dangka tungah tui ka sung dinga, lei keu ah tuiluangte ka sung ding; na suante uh tungah ka kha ka sung dinga, na tate uh tungah ka vualzawlna ka sung ding hi:

⁴And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

⁴Huchiin amau, tui luanna kianga singhiangkaite a pou bangin, loupa lakah a pou ding uh.

⁵One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

⁵Mi khatin, toupa A ka hi, achi dinga; mi dang Jakob minin a kilou dinga; mi dangin a khuta, toupa, chi-a gelhin, Israel min a chi minin a zang ding chiin, a chi hi.

⁶Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

⁶toupa, Israelte Kumpipa, amau tanpa sepaihte TOUPAIN hichiin a chi: Kei masapenpa ka hi a, nanungpenpa leng ka hi; keimah loungal Pathian himhim a om kei uh.

⁷And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

⁷Nidanglaia mite ka seh nungsang kei hih bangin kuan a sam dia, huaite kuan a gen dia, kuan ahia kei sika kizom jela hihlang ding? Thil hontung dingte leh hongon dingte gen hen.

⁸Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

⁸Lau kei unla, kihta sam kei un; tumalamin na kiang uah ka gen khinin ka hontheihsak khin hi lou hia? Huchiin noute ka palaite na hi uhi. Keimah lou Pathian himhim a om ua hiam? A hi, Suangpi himhim a omkei; khat lel leng a om ka theikei.

⁹They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

⁹Milim bawl tawm bawlmite jaw a vek un huihkhua lel ahi un; a thil deihlam un a phatuam kei ding; a zahlakna ding himhim un amau palaite un leng a mu theikei ua, a thei sam kei uh.

¹⁰Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

¹⁰Kuan ahia pathian bawl mahmah? Ahihkeileh, kuan ahia bangmah dinga phatuam loupi milim bawl tawm sung mahmah?

¹¹Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

¹¹Ngaiin, a pawlpi tengteng a zahlak ding ua; na semmite leng mihingte laka mi ahi uh: a vek un kikhawm vek uhenla, ding uhen; a lau ding ua, a zahlak khawm ding uh.

¹²The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

¹²Siksekin heipi a sek jela, meihol ah a tholha sek ding bangin a seka, a ban hattakin a sek je; ahi, a gil a hong kiala, tha a hong zo jel; tui himhim a dawn keia, a bah nak hi.

¹³The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

¹³Singlem bawl miin khau a kai gaka, pensilin a hiding a bawla, nawt mamnain a hidingdan a bawla, bem bawlnain a hiding a bawla, mihing lim bangin a bawla, ina om dingin mihing kilawmna bangin a bawl jel hi.

¹⁴He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

¹⁴Sidar singte a kiphuka, se sing leh tosaw a laa, gammang sing laka khat amah tuama om dingin a hihkipa; meilahsing a suana, vuahin a vak hi.

¹⁵Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

¹⁵Huainungin mi adinga meia khul ding a hita ding; huaia kipanin a laa, a kihihlum jel; ahi, a kuangsaka, tanghou a hai jel hi: ahi, pathian a bawla, a be jel hi; huai sing pen milim bawl tawm dingin a bawla, huai khupbohin chibai a buk hi.

¹⁶He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

¹⁶Huai sing khenkhat meiah a khula; a khenkhat sa nekna dingin a zanga; sa a ema, a tai hi; ahi, mei lum a awia, Nuame, ka lumta, mei mel ka muta e. a chi a;

¹⁷And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

¹⁷A val pathian dingin a bawla, a bawltawm milim mah: huai khupboha chibai bukin a biaa, a kiangah athuma, Honhondamin, ka pathian lah na hi ngala, a chi jel hi.

¹⁸They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

¹⁸A theikei ua, a ngaihtuah sam kei uh; aman lah a mit uh a mitsisakta ngala; a theihsiam louhna dingun a lungtang uh leng a khaksakta hi.

¹⁹And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

¹⁹Huchiin kuamahin a theikhe nawn kei ua, Khenkhat lah meiah ka khul ngala; ahi, a vamah leng tanghou bang ka hai a; sa leng ka ema, lah ka ne ngala: a val thil kihhuai dingin ka bawl ding hia? Singa suak khupbohin chibai ka buk ding hia? Hih dingin amauah theihna leh theihsiamna a om tuan kei hi.

²⁰He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

²⁰Vuk kia a ne jela: a lungtang khema omin, a hinna a kihumbit theihlouhna ding leh, Ka khut taklamah juau a om ka hia? Achih theihlouhna dingin, amah a kalsuansakta hi.

²¹Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

²¹Jakobte aw, huai thilte theihgige un, Israelte aw, nou leng theigige un ka sikhate lah na hi ngal ua; kei bawl na hi ua; ka sikhate na hi uh: Israelte aw, ka mangngilhin na om kei ding uh.

²²I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

²²Na tatleknate uh meipi hihmang bangin ka hihmang taa, na khelhnate uh mei hihmang bangin ka hihmang na lai hi; ka kiangah hongkik nawn un, nou lah ka hontanta ngala, chiin.

²³Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

²³Vante aw, nuamsa takin lasa un, TOUPAN lah huaite a hihta ngala; lei nuailamte aw, kikou un, tangte aw, gamnuai leh a sunga sing om chiteng aw, lasa khe guih un: TOUPAN Jakobte a tantaa, Israelteah a kipahtawi sin ngala.

²⁴Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

²⁴toupa, noumau hontanpa, sul akipana nou honbawlpan hichin a chi: Kei jaw toupa, thil tengteng siampa, keimah kiaa van kaipalhpa, liansakpa ka hi; kua ahia ka kianga om?

²⁵That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

²⁵Kei lah juautheite chiamtehnate bangmahlou-a bawla, aisansiamte mi haia bawlpa, mi pilte nunglam ngasaka, a theihna uh haihuaia bawlpa.

²⁶That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

²⁶A sikha thu hihkipa, a palaite lentheih tangtungsakpa, Jerusalem tungthu-a, Huailaiah mi a om nawn ding uh, chipa leh Juda gam kho tung thu-a, Bawlin a om nawn chiat ding uh, a siatna lailai ka bawl nawn ding, chipa.

²⁷That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

²⁷Tui thuk mahmah kiangah, Kangtatin, na luite keng ka kangtat sak ding, chipa.Kura tungthu-a, Amah jaw ka belamchingpa a hi-a, Jerusalem tungthu-a, Bawlin a om nawn ding, chih leh, Pathian biakin kianga, Na suangphum lepin a om nawn ding, chi khop hialin ka deihlam tengteng a hih ding, chipa ka hi, chiin.

²⁸That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

²⁸Kura tungthu-a, Amah jaw ka belamchingpa a hi-a, Jerusalem tungthu-a, Bawlin a om nawn ding, chih leh, Pathian biakin kianga, Na suangphum lepin a om nawn ding, chi khop hialin ka deihlam tengteng a hih ding, chipa ka hi, chiin.
