¹Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

¹Diktatna delhmite aw, Toupa zongmite aw, ka thu ngaikhia un: noute sekna suangpi lam leh kokhuka noute toh khiakna khuk lam en un.

²Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

²Na pu uh Abraham lam leh noute honsuangnu Sara lam en un: khat kia a hih laiin ka sama, ka vualjawla, mi tampi dingin ka bawlta hi.

³For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

³Toupan lah Zion a luangmuanta ngala: a munsesate tengteng a lungmuana, a gamdai lah Eden bangin a bawla, a gam keu leng Toupa huan bangin a bawl hi; huailaiah kipahna leh nuamsaknate, kipahthugenna leh lasak husa te a om ding.

⁴Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

⁴Ka mite aw, ka thu ngaikhia unla; ka namte aw, ka thu ah bil na doh un: keia kipanin dan thu a hongpawt sin ngala, mi chih vakna dingin ka vaihawmna ka kipsak ding.

⁵My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

⁵Ka diktatna a naia, ka hotdamna a pawtta, ka banten mi chih vai a hawmsak ding, tuikulhgamten a honngak ding ua, ka ban a muang ding uh.

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

⁶Van lama dak tou unla, nuai lama lei en un: van meikhu bangin a jam mang dinga, lei puansilh bangin a lui ding, a sunga omte huchimah bangin a si ding uh: ka hotdamna bel khantawnin a om ding, ka diktatna leng hihmanin a om kei ding.

⁷Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

⁷Diktatna theimi, ka dan thu lungtanga pai mite aw, ka thu ngaikhia un; mihingte gensiatna lau kei unla, a hontainate u jiakin lunghimoh tuan kei un.

⁸For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

⁸Simin puansilh a ne gawp vek bangin, amau a ne gawp vek ding, ngetin samul a ne bangin, amau a ne ding: ka diktatna jaw khantawnin a om dinga, ka hotdamna suan tengteng tanin a om ding.

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

⁹Toupa ban aw, halh inla, hatna kisilhin; nidanglaia, tanga suante om laia na halh bangin halhin. Nang Rahab sat janpa, dragon sunpa na hi ka hia?

¹⁰Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

¹⁰Nang tuipi, tui thuk zapi tui kangsakpa, tuipi taw tatte kanna lampi dia bawlsakpa na hi ka hia?

¹¹Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

¹¹Huan, Toupa tatte a kik nawn ding ua, lasa kawmin Zion a tung ding ua; khantawna kipahna a lu tunguah a omta ding; kipahna leh nuamsakna a mu ding ua, lungkhamna leh mauna a mangta ding.

¹²I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

¹²Kei, kei mahmah, nou lungmuanpa ka hi: si ding mihing kihta ding leh, loupa banga bawl ding mihing tapa kihta ding nang kua na hi hiam;

¹³And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹³Toupa nang hon Bawlpa, van kaipalha lei kingaknate phumpa, mangngilha, nuaisiahmi hihse dinga a ngim lai hehna jiak lela nituma lau? Nuaisiahmi hehna koia om a hitaa?

¹⁴The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

¹⁴Sal pimang kintaka khahin a om dinga, a an a omlou kei ding.

¹⁵But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.

¹⁵Kei Toupa na Pathian, kei lah a kihawtte ging honhon khopa tuipi tokletpa ka hi ngala: ka min lah sepaihte Toupa ahi.

¹⁶And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

¹⁶Huan, van ka kaipalh theia, lei kingaknate ka phum theiha, Zionte kianga, Ka mite na hi uh, ka chih theihna dingin ka thute na kamah ka koiha, ka khutin ka honhum hi.

¹⁷Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

¹⁷Jerusalem aw, Toupa khuta kipan a hehna nou-adawnnu, halhin, halhin, thou in; nang hoihoina nou-a nengte na dawna, na dawn siang sipsip.

¹⁸There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

¹⁸A tapa suan tengteng lakah amah pi ding kuamah a om kei ua; a tapa vak let tengteng lakah a khuta len kuamah a om sam kei uh.

¹⁹These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

¹⁹Hiai thil nihten a honphat ahi; kuan a honkahpih ding ua? Gamna, leh siatna leh kial, leh namsau: bangchin ka honlungmuan diam aw?

²⁰Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

²⁰Na tapate lah a bah ua, sathak lena awk bangin, kongzing lu lam ah a lumphiakphuak uh; Toupa hehna leh na Pathian salhnain a dim uhi.

²¹Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

²¹Huaijiakin, nang hihgentheih leh uain kham hi lou-a mi kham, hiai jain:

²²Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

²²Na Toupa Jehova, na Pathian, a mite thu genpih jelpan, hichiin a chi, Ngaiin, hoihoina nou, ka hehna nou belhbu ngei, na khut akipan ka la kheta; na dawn nawnta kei ding;Huchiin nang honhihgentheite khutah ka koih ding; amau lah na hinna kiangah, Kon tot ding un khupboh un, a chi uh: huchiin a tawnmite kiangah na nungjang lah lei bang leh kongzing bangin na doha, chiin.

²³But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

²³Huchiin nang honhihgentheite khutah ka koih ding; amau lah na hinna kiangah, Kon tot ding un khupboh un, a chi uh: huchiin a tawnmite kiangah na nungjang lah lei bang leh kongzing bangin na doha, chiin.
