1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
1Toupan hichiin a chi, Na nu uh makna lai, ka makna, kaw om ahia? Ahihkeileh, ka leibatnate a kuapen kiangah ahia ka honjuaktak? Ngai un, na thulimlouhnate uh jiaka na nu uh leng maka om ahi.
2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
2Bang jiakin ahia ka hongpaia mi himhim a om louh uh? Bangjiakin ahia ja sapa hondawng ding himhim a om louh uh? Ka khut tan theilou dinga tomsakin a om himhim ahia? Ahihkeileh, humbit dingin thilhihtheihna himhim ka nei ka hia? Ngai un, ka salhnain tuipi ka kangsaka, luipite gam keuin ka bawl hi: tui himhim a om louh jiakin a ngasate a uih a, dangtakin a si jel.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
3Van mialin ka thuama, saiip puan a khuhna dingin ka bawl jel, chiin.
4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
4Mi gimtak thu-a ka tawldamsak siamna dingin sinsakte lei Toupa Pathian in a hon pia: aman jingsang tenga phawngin, sinsakte a theih bang ua thei dingin ka bil a phawng jel.
5The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
5Toupa Pathianin ka bil a honvang saka, kei jaw ka hel kei, ka lehngat sam kei hi.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
6Ka nungjang satmite ka doha, ka biangte mul botmite ka doh hi; zahlakna ah leh chilsiatnaah ka mai ka sel kei.
7For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
7Toupa Pathianin lah honpanpih sina; huaijiakin ka zum kei a: huaijiain meisahsuang bangin ka nga jela, ka zahlak kei ding chih ka thei.
8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
8Siam hontangsakpa a nai hi; kuan ahia hondou ding? Ding khawm niung: hondou kua ahia? Honnaih heh.
9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
9Ngaiin, Toupa Pathianin honpanpih ding; kuan ahia siamlouh hontang sak ding? Ngaiin, huaite tengteng puansilh bangin a lui ding ua, simin a nese vek ding.
10Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
10Na lak ua, Toupa kihtaa, a sikha thumang, kua ahia? Miala vaka, vakna himhim neilouin Toupa min muang henla, a Pathian tungah kinga hen.Mei toha, meiektea kigak tengtengte aw, ngai un: na mei kuang uah leh na meiek halte u lakah vak un? Hiai ka khut akipana na muh ding uh ahi hi: lungkham taka na lupna ding uh.
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
11Mei toha, meiektea kigak tengtengte aw, ngai un: na mei kuang uah leh na meiek halte u lakah vak un? Hiai ka khut akipana na muh ding uh ahi hi: lungkham taka na lupna ding uh.
