¹Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

¹Tuikulh-ate aw, ka thu ngaikhia unla, gamla pi-a mi chih aw, ngaikhia un: Toupan sul akipana hon sap him ka hi; ka nu gilsunga kipan him in ka min a nagenta hi:

²And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

²Ka kam namsau hiam mahmah bangin a bawla, a khutah a honsela; thal nawttet vilvelin a honbawla, a thalbawmah a hnkhum a:

³And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

³Huan, ka kiangah, Nang jaw ka sikha na hi a; Israel pahtawia ka omna ding, na hi, a chi a.

⁴Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

⁴Ken bel, A thawn lelin ka semgima, bangmah lou ding leh huihkhua lel dingin ka tha pai: himahleh pellouin ka tunga vaihwamna ding Toupa kiangah ahi a om, hon ditna ding leng ka Pathian kiangah ahi a om, ka chi.

⁵And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

⁵Huan, tuin Toupa, Jakobte a kianga pi nawnna ding leh, Israelte a kianga pi khawma a omna ding un, a sikhaa om dinga sula kipana honbawlpan a gen (Toupa mitmuhin mi zahtakhuai ka hi ngala, ka Pathian lah ka hatna ahi behlapta hi)

⁶And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁶A hi, aman, Jakobte namte tundingna ding leh Israelte laka humbitte a omsak naawna dingin, ka sikhaa na om jaw, thil neuchik mahmah a hilai: Jentelte vaksakpa dingin leng ka honsep ding, kawlmong phaa ka hondampa dia na om theihna dingin, a chi a.

⁷Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

⁷Toupa, Israelte tanpa leh a Mi Siangthou un, mite muhsitpa, namte kihtuntun, vaihawmmite sikha kiangah hichiin a chi: Muanhuai Toua, Israelte Mi Siangthou, nang hontelpa jiakin kumpipaten a mu ding ua, a thou ding uh; mi lianten leng chibai a buk ding uh, chiin.

⁸Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

⁸Toupan hichiin a chi, Hun kipahhuaiah ka hondawngtaa, hotdamna ni ah ka hon panpihta: ka honhawi dinga, mipite thukunna dingin ka honpe ding, lei dingkipsak ding, gouluah nutsiatsa luahsak dingin;

⁹That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

⁹Suangkulh tangte kianga, Pawt un, miala omte kianga, Hongkilang un, na chih theihna dingin. Lampi-ahte a ne jel ding ua, tangsang mai pengpong ahte a tatna mun uh a om ding hi.

¹⁰They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

¹⁰A gil kial un a dangtak kei ding ua; kholuma bawlgimin niin leng a hai sam kei ding hi: amaute itpain a pi ding a ahi ngala, tui naknei kiang ngeiah te a pi sin ngala.

¹¹And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

¹¹Huchiin ka tang tengteng lampi din ka bawl dinga, ka lamliante leng sansakin a om ding uh.

¹²Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

¹²Enin, hiaite gamlapi akipanin a hongpai ding ua; enin hiaite mallam akipan te, tumlam akipante in a hongpai sin uh; huaite Sinim gama kipanin a hongpai sin uhi.

¹³Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

¹³Vante aw, nuamtakin lasa un; lei aw, nuamsain omin; tangte aw, lasa khe guih un: Toupan lah mite a lungmuan ngala, a mi haksat thuakte leng a hehpih ding hi.

¹⁴But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

¹⁴Himahleh Zionin, Jehova-in honpai sana, Toupan ahongmangngilh ta, a chi.

¹⁵Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

¹⁵Numeiin a tapa, a gila gah ngei, hehpih louhna dingin a nau nwinelai a mangngilh thei ahia! Thei e, huaiten jaw a mangngilh uh ahi thei, himahleh ken jaw ka honmangngilh kei ding.

¹⁶Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

¹⁶Enin, ka khutpekah ka hon gelh hi; na kulh bangte ka maah a om gige ahi.

¹⁷Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

¹⁷Na tate a kin ua, nang honhihmangmite leh nang honhihsemiten a honpawt san ding uh.

¹⁸Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

¹⁸Dak inla, en vialvial inla, en in: hiai tengteng a kikhawm ua, na kiangah a hongpai uhhi. Ka hinna louin, Nang pahtawina kisilh bangin hiaite na kisilha, mou a kigak bangin hiaite in na kigak ngei ding, Toupan a chi hi.

¹⁹For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

¹⁹Na mun sia leh nusiatsate leh na gam hihmansa nung thu ajaw tuin a omte adingin na neu lota ngeingei dinga, nang honvalhte gamla-pi ah aomta ding uhi.

²⁰The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

²⁰Na ta mansak nunga na ta neihnawnten, Mun kei adingin a neu luaa: ka omna dingin mun honpiain, chiin, na bilah a hon gen ding uh.

²¹Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

²¹Huchiin nangna lungsimin; Hiaite honsuaksak ahi ua eita? ka tate ka mangsaka, keimah kiaa, sala, vialvak ka hi ngala: huchiin hiaite kuan kem ahia eita? Ngaiin, keimah kiaa nutsiatin lah ka om ngala, hiaite koia na om uh ahia eita? na chi ding, chiin.

²²Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

²²Toupa Pathianin hichiin a chi, Ngaiin, nam chih adingin ka khut ka jakin, mi chih a dingin ka chiamtehna ka tat khe ding: huchiin na tapate a poma pomin na kiangah a honpi ding ua, na tanute te leng liangkolou-a suana piin a om ding uh.

²³And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

²³Huan, Kumpipate na tate donpate ahi ding ua, a khupinute u leng na tate donnu ahi ding uh: amau a mai ua lei siin chibai honbuk ding ua, na khea leivui a liak ding uh; huchiin kei Toupa ka hi chih na thei mai ding, hon ngakmite zahlakin a om kei ding uh.

²⁴Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

²⁴Gallakte mi hattak akipana suha omin, mi lauhuai salte hotkhiakin a om ding ua hia?

²⁵But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

²⁵Om nake, Toupan hichiin a chi, Mi hattak salte hial leng suhin a om ding ua, mi lauhuai gallakte hotkhiak in a om ding: nang doute lah ka dou sin ngala, na tate leng ka hondam ding hi.Huan, nang homsimmohte amau sa ka ne sak ding; uain khum kham bangin amau sisain a kham ding uh: huchiin mi tengtengin, kei Toupa nangmah Hondampa leh nangmah Tanpa, Jakob-a Mi Hat ka hi chih, a thei ding uh, chiin.

²⁶And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

²⁶Huan, nang homsimmohte amau sa ka ne sak ding; uain khum kham bangin amau sisain a kham ding uh: huchiin mi tengtengin, kei Toupa nangmah Hondampa leh nangmah Tanpa, Jakob-a Mi Hat ka hi chih, a thei ding uh, chiin.
