¹Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

¹Toupan hichiin a chi, Van ka tutphah ahi a, lei ka khe ngakna ahi: inn bang chi bang ahia non lamsak ding uh? koilai ahia ka khawlna ding?

²For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

²Hiaithil bangkimte lah ka khuta ka bawl ahi ngal ua, huchiin hiai thil bangkimte a hongomta ahi, Toupan a chi: ahihhangin hiai mi genthei taka om, lungsima kisik tuntun, ka thu-a ling jel jaw ka en jo ding.

³He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

³Bawngtal goumi jaw mi that bang ahi a; thilpiak lan mi jaw vok sisan lanmi bang ahi-a; begaw halmi jaw milim vualjawlmi bang ahi: ahi, amau lampi a telta ua, a thilkihhuaite ua a lungsim uh a kipak jel.

⁴I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

⁴Ka saplaia kuamahin hon dawng kei ua, thu ka gen lai-a bil a ajak louh ua, ka mitmuh a thil gilou a hih jawk ua, ka thil kipahpihlouhlam a tel jiak un ken leng amau khemna dingte ka telsak dinga, a kihtaak lam uh a tunguah ka tungsak ding, chiin.

⁵Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

⁵A thu-a ling jelte aw, Toupa thu ja un: na unau uh, nou honhopa leh ka min jiaka nou hon delhkheten. Na kipahman uh ka muh theih na ding un, Toupa hih thupiin om hen, a chi ua, ahihhangin a zumzota ding uh.

⁶A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

⁶Tua! Khopi-a lum vengvung husa! Biakin husa eive! a melmate thukpa Toupa husa eive!

⁷Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

⁷Aman vei man louin nau a neia; na man louin pasal naupang a nei hi.

⁸Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

⁸Huchibang kuan a za ngeia? huchibangte kua ahia a mu ngei? Nikhat in gam a piang guih sin ahia? Thakhat in nam suanin a om guih sin ahia? Zionin nau a vei takin a tate lah a nei pah ngala.

⁹Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

⁹Pian hun tungsak ngalin ka nei sin kei ahia? Toupan a chi: kei neisak jelpan ta ka neisak phal sin kei dia hia? Na Pathianin a chi.

¹⁰Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

¹⁰Jerusalem iitte tengteng aw, Jerusalem nuamsakpih unla, kipahpih un: amah sunte tengteng aw, kipah jiakin nuamsak pih un.

¹¹That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

¹¹Na tep ua, a lungmuanna nawitea na tai theih na ding un leh, na tep peng ua, a thupina tampi-a na kipah theih na ding uh, chih.

¹²For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

¹²Toupan hichiin a chi ngala, ngai un, lemna luipi bang maiin a kiang phain ka luangsak dinga, namchih thupina luita a kuang a let zoizoi bang maiin a kiang pha in ka luang sak ding, huchiin huai na tep ding uh; honangpom dinga, apheipi tungah a hontawmsak ding hi.

¹³As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

¹³Mi, a nun a lungmuan bangin ka honlungmuan ding; huchiin Jerusalem a lung muan in na om ding uhi.

¹⁴And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

¹⁴Huan, huai na mu ding ua, na lungtang un nuam a sa dinga, na guhte uh leng loupa hing dipdip bangin a pha lihliah ding: huchiin Toupa khut a sikhate lamah a om chih a thei ding ua, a melmate tungah a lungkim kei ding.

¹⁵For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

¹⁵Ngai un, a hehna thangpaihnaa thuk ding leh, a salhna meikuanga thuk dingin Toupa mei toh a hongpai sin hi, a kangtalaite pingpei bangmai ahi ding hi.

¹⁶For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

¹⁶Meiin ahi, Toupan a ngaihtuah ding, a namsauin ahi mi tengteng a ngaihtuah ding: huchiin Toupa hihlupte jaw tampi ahi ding uh.

¹⁷They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Huante khawngah a hoh ua, a laia mi nunga om khepkhup dinga kihihsiangthou leh kisiangsak jelte, voksa leh thil kihhuai leh chikpi nete, a mangthang khawm ding uh, Toupan a chi.

¹⁸For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

¹⁸A thilhihte uleh a ngaihtuahte uh lah ka thei ngala: nam chih leh pau chih ka pi khawm hun a hong tung sin; huchiin a hongpai ding ua, ka thupina a mu ding uh.

¹⁹And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

¹⁹Huan, a lak uah chiamtehna ka omsak dinga, huchiin a lak ua gawtna pelte peuhmah nam chih kiangaa-Tarsish te, Pul te, thangpeu laite Lud kiangahte, tuikulhgam gamla pi, ka min than za ngei nailou Tubal leh Javante kiangah te, ka thupina mungeinailoute kiangah te ah-ka sawl ding; huchiin namchih lak ah ka thupina thu agen ding uh.

²⁰And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

²⁰Huchiin, Israel telten a thillat uh belsuan siangthou taka Toupa ina a honglut jel bang un, Toupa kianga thillat dingin nam chih teng laka kipan na unaute tengteng uh sakol tungte ah, kangtalai te ah, jawnnate ah, sabengtung tungte ah, sangawngsau tungah te, Jerusalem ka tang siangthou ah a honpi ding uh, Toupan a chi.

²¹And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.

²¹Huan huaite laka kipanin siampu dingte leh Levimi dingte ka la ding, Toupan a chi.

²²For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

²²Ka bawl ding van thak te leh lei thak ka ma ah om gige ding bangin, na suante uh leh na min uh leng a om gige ding ahi, Toupan achi.

²³And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

²³Huan, hichi ahi dinga, kha thak a kipana khathak dang tanin, khawlni akipana khawlni dang tanin mi tengteng ka maa chibai honbuk dingin a hongpai zutzut ding uh, Toupan achi.Huan, a pai khejel bang un, ka tunga talekte luang a en ding uh: a thante uh a si kei ding ua, a meite uh leng thahin a om sak kei ding hi; mi tengteng adingin thil kihhuai mahmah ahi ding uhi.

²⁴And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

²⁴Huan, a pai khejel bang un, ka tunga talekte luang a en ding uh: a thante uh a si kei ding ua, a meite uh leng thahin a om sak kei ding hi; mi tengteng adingin thil kihhuai mahmah ahi ding uhi.
