¹The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

¹Amoz tapa Isaiin Judate kumpipa Uzzia te, Jothamte, Ahaz te, Hezekia te lal laia, Judate leh Jerusalem tugtang thu-a kilakna a muh thu.

²Hear, [ye] heavens, and give ear, [thou] earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me.

²Vante aw, ngaikhia unla, lei aw, bil doh in, TOUPAN thu a gen hi: Tapate ka khoia ka khanglian saka, ka tungah lah a hel ngal ua.

³The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.

³Bawngtalin a neitu a theia, sabengtungin leng a pu anpiakna a thei: Israelten bel a theikei uh, ka miten a ngaihtuah kei uh, chiin.

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.

⁴Ah! nam gilou thulimlouhna gikpi pua mite, chi thil hoihlou hihte, ta hoihlou pi-a gamta sekte ahi ua: TOUPA a paisan ua, Israelte Mi Siangthou a musit ua, kihihtuamin a nungtolhta uh.

⁵Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

⁵Bang achia hel sansana, vuaka om lailai na hi ua oi? Lutang a pumin a chi a naa, lungtang leng a pumin a gimta.

⁶From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.

⁶Khepek nuaia kipana lutang phain damlai himhim a om kei; chikeh, vuak sidup ek, meima nai la ngen ahi: huaite lah a mek bing kei ua, tuam leng a tuam sam kei ua, sathau leng a nuh kei uh.

⁷Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

⁷Na gam uh loihin a omkhita; na khuate uh meiin a kangkhinta: na gam uh gam dang miten na mitmuh un a neikhin ua, gam dang mite hihsiat bangin a sekhinta.

⁸And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.

⁸Zion tanu tuh grep huana vennabuk bang leh, tangmai huana buk bang leh, khopi um suak banga nutsiatin a omta.

⁹Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

⁹Sepaihte TOUPAN hihmanthat bang tawmchik honna sit sakta lou hileh Sodom bangin i omkhin thamta ding ua, Gamorra bangin i omkhinta ding uhi.

¹⁰Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!

¹⁰Sodom vaihawmte aw, TOUPA thu ja un; Gomorra mite aw, i Pathian dan thu-ah bil doh un.

¹¹To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.

¹¹TOUPAN, Huzahzaha na kithoihna uh kei dinga bang ahia a thamatna om? Belamtal haltuma latte leh gan vakthaute thauin a honnimta; bawngpate leh belam noute leh kelpate sisan ah leng ka kipak kei, a chi.

¹²When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand -- to tread my courts?

¹²Ka maa kilan dinga na hongpai un, ka biakin huangsuang intual sik kuan a honphuta?

¹³Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, -- new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations -- wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.

¹³Thilpiak bangmahloute hontawi nawn kei un; banghiam gimlim kei adingin thil kihhuaipi ahi; kha thakte, khawlnite, khawmpite na kichial khawmte mawkmawk uh ka iplah mahmah; thulimlouhna ahi, kikhopna thupitak leng.

¹⁴Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them].

¹⁴Na kha thakte uleh hunbi neia na ankuangluinate uh ka lungsimin a hua hi: kei adin tunggikna ahi; ka thuak chimta hi.

¹⁵And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

¹⁵Huchiin na khut uh na jak chiang un leng ka mit kon humsan dia: ahi, tamveipi na thum chiang un leng ka ngaikhe kei ding: na khutte ulah sisanin a dim ngal a.

¹⁶Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; -- cease to do evil,

¹⁶Kisil unla, kihihsiang un; ka mitmuh phaklouh din na thilhihte uh a gitouhna koih mang un; gilou hih tawpta uh:

¹⁷learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.

¹⁷Thil hoih hih kisinta unla; vaihawmna diktat zong un, nuaisiahna thuakte panpih unla, pa neiloute vaihawm sak unla, meithai thu gensak un, a chi hi.

¹⁸Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹⁸TOUPAN, Hongpai un, ngaihtuah khawm dih ve ni! Na khelhnate uh san au bangin aom mahleh, vuk bangin a ngou ding; san dup bangin san khin mahleh belam mul bangin a om ding.

¹⁹If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;

¹⁹Gennoptak leh thumanga na om uleh, na gam thil hoihte uh na ne ding uh:

²⁰but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

²⁰Ahihhangin na ut kei ua na hel uleh, namsau nekkhitin na om ding uh: TOUPA kamin huai thu a genta hi, a chi a.

²¹How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.

²¹Bangchidan ahia khopi muanhuaitak kijuak a hongsuah maimah, vaihawm diktatnaa dimnu hi sek hi a! amahah diktatna a om seka, tun lah tualthatmite!

²²Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:

²²Na dangka eksia a honghita, na uain lah tui toh hel a hita.

²³thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.

²³Na mi liante mihel hat, guta te pawmte ahi uh; mi chihin golhna a deih ua, thilpiak a delh nak uhi: pa neiloute a hawmsak sek kei ua, meithaite makhua khualna leng a kiang uh a tung ngei sam kei hi.

²⁴Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.

²⁴Huaijiakin, TOUPA, Sepaihte TOUPA, Israelte Mi Hatin hichiin a chi! A! hondoute tungah ka hehna ka tangtungsak dia, ka melmate tungah phu ka la ding:

²⁵And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;

²⁵Huan, na tungah ka khut ka kha dinga, na eksia siang sipsipin ka hihmang ding, na sikgawm tengteng ka la mang vek ding:

²⁶and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.

²⁶Huan, na sung vaihawmtute a tunga a om bang un ka omsak nawn dinga, na sunga lemtheimite a masapena a om bang un ka omsak lai ding hi: Huai khitchiangin, Diktatna khopi, khopi muanhuai, a honchi ding uhi.

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.

²⁷Zion tun vaihawmna diktata hotkhiak a hita dinga, a sunga mi piangthak nawnte leng diktatnaa hotkhiak ahi ding uhi.

²⁸But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

²⁸Ahihhangin mihelte leh mikhialte hihsiatna a kituakin a om dinga, TOUPA paisanmite leng hihanin a om ding uh.

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.

²⁹Na tosaw deihmahmahte uh a zumpihta ding ua, na huan telte ujiakin zakta takin na om sin uhi.

³⁰For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

³⁰Tosaw a nah kaite leh huan tui mu lou bang phet lah na hi sin ngal ua, Huan, mi hat tak zija jial bang a hita dinga, a nasep meiek bang ahi ding; huchiin a kang tuaktuak ding ua, kuamahin a phelh kei ding uh, chiin.Huan, mi hat tak zija jial bang a hita dinga, a nasep meiek bang ahi ding; huchiin a kang tuaktuak ding ua; kuamahin a phelh kei ding uh, chiin.

³¹And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench [them].

³¹Huan, mi hat tak zija jial bang a hita dinga, a nasep meiek bang ahi ding; huchiin a kang tuaktuak ding ua; kuamahin a phelh kei ding uh, chiin.
