¹Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

¹Ngai un, Toupa khut hondam theilou dingin tomsakin a om keia; a bil leng za theilou dingin a ngong sam kei:

²But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

²Na thulimlouhnate uh noumau leh na Pathian kal ua kiain a honkhen ahi, bila a jak nop louhna dingin na khelhnate un a mai a honliahsak lai ahi.

³For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

³Na khutte uh lah sisana hihnitin a oma, na khutzungte uh lah thulimlouhnaa hihnitin a om hi; na mukte un juau a gena, na lei uh ginatlouhna thu genin a phun nuanua hi.

⁴None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁴Kuamahin diktakin thukhawk a gen kei ua, kuamahin thutak takin thu a genpih ngei kei uh: huihkhua lelte a muang ua, juau a gen nak uh; thilhihkhelhna a pai ua, thulimlouhna a suang jel uhi.

⁵They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

⁵Thangtom tuite a opkhum ua, maimom gil puan a gan uh: a tui nemite a si jel uh, hihtapa omah gul a hongpawt hi.

⁶Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

⁶A maimon gil puante uh puansilh dingin a hongom kei dinga, a thilhihte uh leng a silh sam kei ding uh: a thilhihte u lah thulimlouhna thilhihte ahi a, hiamgam taka hihna lah a khut uah a om hi.

⁷Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

⁷A khete uh thil hoihlou lamah a taia, gensiat bei sisan suah dingin a kintat nilouh louh uh: a ngaihtuahte u lah thulimlouhna ngaihtuahnate ahi a; gamna leh siatna a lampi uahte a om jel hi.

⁸The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

⁸Lungmuana lampi a theikei ua; a paina uah dikna himhim a om ngei kei: amau adingin lam kawi bang a bawl ua; huailaia pai peuhmahin lungmuanna a thei ngei kei uh.

⁹Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

⁹Huaijiakin vaihawmna ei akipana gamla pi-ah a om naknaka, diktatnain a honpha zou ngei kei: vak i ngak sek ua, himahleh, ngaiin, mial a honghi jel; vakna I ngak jel ua, himahleh mial bikbekah mah I pai nak uh.

¹⁰We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

¹⁰Mittaw bangin bang I mai pualpual ua, ahi, mit neiloute bangin I mai pualpual nak uh: khomialtung bangin sunin I kisui ua; mi hatte lakah misi bang phet I hi uhi.

¹¹We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

¹¹Vompite bangin I vek un i ham dupdup ua, vakhute vangin nakpi takin I thum ngutngut uh: vaihawmna I ngak ua, himahleh, a om het kei hi; hotdamna I ngak ua, himahleh gamla pi-ah a honomsan hi.

¹²For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

¹²I tatleknate I ma uah a khangta ngala, I khelhnaten ahonhek gige hi: I tatleknate lah I kiang uah a om gige ngala, I thulimlouhnate I thei hi:

¹³In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

¹³I takleknate, Toupa I theihmohbawlte, I Pathian I zuih jel louha I kiheisan te, nuaisiah thu leh hel thu I gen te, juau thu I pai ua, lungtang akipan I gen khiak jel te.

¹⁴And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

¹⁴Huchiin vaihawmnain nunglam a hongngat sana, diktatnain gamla pi-ah a hondin santa: thutak lah kongzingah a puka, dikna a lut theikei hi.

¹⁵Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

¹⁵A hi, thutak a omta keia; thil hoihlou tawpsanmi gallakin a kibawl jel: huchiin Toupan huai a mu-a, vaihawmna himhim omta louin a lungkimsak ta kei hi.

¹⁶And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

¹⁶Huan, mi himhim a om kei chih a theia, ngetsakmi mawngmawng a om louh uh lamdang a chi-a: huaijiakin amah ban mahmahin hotdamna a kibawla; amah diktatna mahmahin a kilen kip hi.

¹⁷For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

¹⁷Huan, diktatna lumin a neia, hotdamna lukhu a khu-a; huan, puansilhin phulakna puansilhte a silha, puannak tual dingin phatuamngaihna a silh hi.

¹⁸According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

¹⁸A thil hihte uh bangin, a thilhihte uh bang mahmahin a man a thuk ding, amah doumite hehnain, a melmate thuknain a thuk ding; tuikulhgamte thuknain a thuk ding.

¹⁹So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

¹⁹Huchiin Toupa min tumlam akipanin a lau ding ua, a thupina leng ni suahna akipanin a lau ding uh; amah lah tui khang guih, Toupa hua mut luang zoizoi bangin a hongpai sin ngala.

²⁰And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

²⁰Huan, Zion ah Tanpain a hongpai dinga, Jakobte laka tatlekna tawpsanmite lakah leng a hongpai ding, Toupan a chi.Ken jaw, hiai ahi a kiang ua ka thukhun, Toupan a chi: ka kha na tunga om leh, ka thu na kama ka koihten, tuban khantawn pha inleng na kam a pawtsan kei ding ua, na suante kam leng a pawtsan sam kei ding ua, na suante suante suan sawnte kam leng a pawtsan sam kei ding uh, Toupan a chi.

²¹As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

²¹Ken jaw, hiai ahi a kiang ua ka thukhun, Toupan a chi: ka kha na tunga om leh, ka thu na kama ka koihten, tuban khantawn pha inleng na kam a pawtsan kei ding ua, na suante kam leng a pawtsan sam kei ding ua, na suante suante suan sawnte kam leng a pawtsan sam kei ding uh, Toupan a chi.
