1“Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.
1Tuikulh gahte aw, ka maah dai sisip unla; michihin a hatna uh thaksak nawm uhenla: hongpai nai chiat le uh; huai khit chiangin gen uhen: vaihawm dingin kinaih tuah chiat ni.
2Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
2Suahlam akipan mikhat, diktatna jiak a khe bula a sap, kuan ahia kai halh? Aman lah nam chih a maah a piaa, kumpipate tungah vai a hawmsaka; amau leivui bangin a namsau kiangah a piaa, buhsi huih mut leng bangin a thalpeu kiangah leng a pia hi.
3He pursues them, and passes by safely, Even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
3Aman amaute a delha, bittakin a pai jela; a khea a pai nailouhna lampi-ah.
4Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”
4Atunga kipan suan tengteng samin, kuan ahia sema, hih khin? Kei TUOPA, a masapen leh nanungpen kia ka om, a hihpa tak ka hi
5The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
5Tuikulh gamten amu ua; a lau ua; kawlmongte a ling ua: a honnaiha, a hongpai ua.
6Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”
6Mi chihin amau lawmte a panpih ua; mi chihin a unaute uh kiangah, Khamuang takin om un, a chi chiat uh.
7So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smoothes with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good”; and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
7Huchiin, a bulhkipna lam thu-ah, A noih hi, chiin, khutsiam miin dangkaeng sekmi a hasuana, seka sekmum sekdou sekmi a hasuana: huan, a linlouhna dingin kilhna tein a kilh kipta.
8“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,
8Himahleh nou Isrealte ka sikha, Jakopte kamitel, ka lawm Abraham suante aw,
9You whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;’
9Nou, lei tawpna akipana ka mi pi, a nawl akipana ka mi sap, ka sikhate na hi ua, honpaikhe louin ka hontel jaw hi, ka honchihte aw,
10Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
10Lau kei un, kei lah na kiang uah ka om ngala; mangbang kei un, kei lah na Pathian uh ka hi ngala: ka honhatsak dinga; ahi, ka honpanpih ding; ahi, ka diktatna khut taklamin ka honlen gige ding.
11Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
11Ngaiin, na tung ua lungkimlou tengtengzahlak tak leh zum takin a om ding uh: nou honselte lah bangmahlou bang ahi ding ua, a mang ding uh.
12You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing.
12Nou honselte na zong ding ua, namu tuan kei ding uh: nou hon doute lah bangmah lou bang ahi ding ua, thil omlou bang lel ahi ding uh.
13For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’
13Kei TOUPA na Pathian un, Lau kei un, ka honpanpih ding, chiin, na khut taklam ulah ka len sin ngala.
14Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh, “and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
14Nou Jakob tangtel leh Isreal mite aw, lau kei un, ka honpanpih ding, TOUPAN a chi, nou hon tanpa tuh Isrealte Mi Siangthou a hi
15Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
15Ngaiin, buhsukna khawl thak mahmah, hiam mahmah, ha neiin ka honbawl ding; tangte khawng chilin na khen jan ding ua, mualpawngte lah buhsi bangin na bawl ding uh.
16You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
16Na jap ding ua, huihin a mut leng dinga, pingpeiin a hih dalh ding: huan, noute TOUPA ah na kipak ding ua, Isrealte Mi Siangthoupa na hon suang ding uh.
17The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
17Mi genthei leh tagahten tui a zong jel ua, a om ngal keia, a lei uh dangtakin a hul khinjel; kei TOUPAIN amau ka dawng dinga, kei Isrealte Pathianin amaute ka paisan kei ding.
18I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
18Tangsang giau-ahte luite ka luangkhesak dinga, guam laizangahte tuinakte ka suaksak ding: gamdai dilin ka bawl dinga, gam keu leng tuinakin ka bawl ding hi.
19I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set fir trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
19Gamdaiah sidar singte, singgite, muite, thau singte ka suan dinga, gam keuah meilah singte, phante, singgelh chite ka suan khawm vek ding:
20that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that the hand of Yahweh has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
20TOUPA khutin huaite a hih ahi chih leh Isrealte Mi Siangthouin a siam ahi chih a muh ua, a theih ua, a ngaihtuah ua, a theisiam theina ding un.
21Produce your cause,” says Yahweh. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.
21Na thu uh hong gen un, TOUPAN achi; Pathianin na chihna sanpen uh sulang un, Jakopte Kumpipan a chi.
22“Let them announce, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.
22Huaite sulang uhenla, thil hong tung dingte I kiang uah gen uhen; I ngaihtuah theina ding leh a tawpna ding I theih theina dingin, tuma thilte bang ahia gen un; ahihkeileh, thil hongtung dingte hontheisak un.
23Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
23Pathian na hi uh chih ka theih theihna ding un tunungchianga thil hongtung dingte gen un; ahi, I mangbat chiatna ding un leh I et chiat ding un thil hoih hiam thil hoihlou hiam hih dih ua le.
24Behold, you are of nothing, and your work is of nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
24Ngai un, bangmah nana hi kei uhi, na thil hih u leng bangmah ahi sam kei: nou hontelte lah mi kihhuaipi na hi uhi.
25“I have raised up one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name; and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
25Mal lama kipan mi khat ka ding saka, amah a hontunga; ni suahna akipan ka min loupa; aman suang bulhkipna bawl bangin vaihawmmite a bawl dinga, belvelmiin bellei a chil mah bangin a chil ding hi.
26Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And before, that we may say, ‘He is right?’ Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
26I theih theihna ding un kuan ahia a tunga kipan gen ngei? Amah jaw a dik hi, I chih theihna ding un kuan ahia gen khol ngei? A hi gen himhim a om kei uh, ahi, theisak him him a omkei uh, ahi, na thugente uh za himhim a om kei uh.
27I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
27Ken Zion kiangah, Enin amau en dih, ka chi masa dinga, Jerusalem kiangah tanchin hoih hontunmi khat ka pe ding.
28When I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.
28Huan, ka etin leng mi himhim a om kei ua; amau ka dotin leng. A lak ua lemtheimi, thu khat leng dawng thei, kua mah him him leng a om kei uh.En un, a vek un, a nasepte uh bangmah lou ahi a, thil om lou himhim ahi: a milim sunte u lah huaih leh huihkhua lel ahi hi.
29Behold, all of them, their works are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
29En un, a vek un, a nasepte uh bangmah lou ahi a, thil om lou himhim ahi: a milim sunte u lah huaih leh huihkhua lel ahi hi.
