¹Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

¹Aw ching, nang tanei ngeilou, nuamsa takin lasain; nang, nauvei ngeilou, lasa khe guihin, kikou khiain: pasalneimi tate sangin lunglengnu tate lah a tam zo ngal ua, Toupan a chi.

²Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

²Na puanin mun kekin, na omnate puanin tung kai palhin; chil ken: na khuate sausak inla, na kaihgakna khette kipsakin.

³For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

³Tak lam leh vei lamah na dalh za sin ngala; huchiin na chi suanten nam chih gou a luah ding ua, khopi loih sa nungte-ah mi a omsak nawn ding uh.

⁴Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

⁴Lau ken, na zahlak kei ding ahi; zum sam ken, zahlakin na om sin kei hi: na tuailai zahlakna na mangngilhin, na neithaina minsiatna lah na theigigeta kei ding hi.

⁵For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

⁵Nang hon-Bawlpa lah na pasal ahi ngala; a min sepaihte Toupa ahi: Israel Mi Siangthou nang hontanpa ahi hi; amah khovel tengteng Pathian a chi ding uh.

⁶For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

⁶Zi mak lungsima lungkham tak, tuailai ji khensa, paihsa nung sap nawn bangin Toupan nang a honsam ahi, na Pathianin a chi.

⁷For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

⁷Mitphiatkal lel ka honmaa; ahihhangin hehpihna thupitakin ka honpih nawn ding.

⁸In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

⁸Ka heh dimletin mitphiatkal na lakah ka mai ka sela; ahihhangin khantawn chitnain ka honhehpih ding, Toupa nang Hontanpan a chi.

⁹For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

⁹Huai lah keia dingin Noa damlai nite bang ahi ngala: Noa tuiten leitunga tum mang nawn kei ding, chi-a, ka chiam bangin, Na tungah ka heh nawn kei dinga, ka honsal nawn sam kei ding hi, chiin, ka kichiamta ahi.

¹⁰For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

¹⁰Tang liante a paimang ding ua, tang neute leng suanin a om ding uh; ka chitna ahihleh nanga kipanin a pai mang kei dinga, ka lemna thukhun leng suanin a om sam kei ding, Toupa nang honhehpihpan a chi hi.

¹¹O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

¹¹Aw nang hihgentheih, tuikihawt sepsep, lungmuanna neilou, ngaiin na suangte ze hoihin ka lem ding, na suangphumte leng sapphir suangin ka lem ding hi.

¹²And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

¹²Na tungzumte rubi suangin, na kongkhakte karbankul suangin, na kulh tengteng suang hoihtein a bawl ding.

¹³And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹³Huan, na tate tengteng Toupa chilin a om ding ua; na tate lungmuanna thupitak ahi ding.

¹⁴In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

¹⁴Diktatnaa kipsakin na om dinga; nuaisiahna akipan gamla pi-ah na om dinga, na lau kei ding hi; thil mulkimhuai akipanin leng gamla pi-ah na om dinga, a honnaih kei ding hi.

¹⁵Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

¹⁵Ngaiin, a hong kikhawm uh ahi thei, ahihhangin ka thu ahi kei ding: nang sual dinga kikhawm peuhmahte nang jiakin a puk ding uh.

¹⁶Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

¹⁶Ngaiin, ken siksekmi pumjapa nasepna ding vanzat sek jelmi ka siama; kei mahmah hihse dingin hihsemi ka siam ding hi.Nang sualna dinga vanzat sek himhim a phatuam kei ding; lei chih thubuaia nang honlang siamlouh na tangsak ding. Huailah Toupa sikhate goutan ahia, a diktatna uh ka kianga kipan ahi. Toupan a chi.

¹⁷No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Nang sualna dinga vanzat sek himhim a phatuam kei ding; lei chih thubuaia nang honlang siamlouh na tangsak ding. Huailah Toupa sikhate goutan ahia, a diktatna uh ka kianga kipan ahi. Toupan a chi.
