1Thus says Yahweh, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
1Toupan hichiin a chi, Na nu uh makna lai, ka makna, kaw om ahia? Ahihkeileh, ka leibatnate a kuapen kiangah ahia ka honjuaktak? Ngai un, na thulimlouhnate uh jiaka na nu uh leng maka om ahi.
2Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
2Bang jiakin ahia ka hongpaia mi himhim a om louh uh? Bangjiakin ahia ja sapa hondawng ding himhim a om louh uh? Ka khut tan theilou dinga tomsakin a om himhim ahia? Ahihkeileh, humbit dingin thilhihtheihna himhim ka nei ka hia? Ngai un, ka salhnain tuipi ka kangsaka, luipite gam keuin ka bawl hi: tui himhim a om louh jiakin a ngasate a uih a, dangtakin a si jel.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
3Van mialin ka thuama, saiip puan a khuhna dingin ka bawl jel, chiin.
4The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
4Mi gimtak thu-a ka tawldamsak siamna dingin sinsakte lei Toupa Pathian in a hon pia: aman jingsang tenga phawngin, sinsakte a theih bang ua thei dingin ka bil a phawng jel.
5The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
5Toupa Pathianin ka bil a honvang saka, kei jaw ka hel kei, ka lehngat sam kei hi.
6I gave my back to the strikers, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.
6Ka nungjang satmite ka doha, ka biangte mul botmite ka doh hi; zahlakna ah leh chilsiatnaah ka mai ka sel kei.
7For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
7Toupa Pathianin lah honpanpih sina; huaijiakin ka zum kei a: huaijiain meisahsuang bangin ka nga jela, ka zahlak kei ding chih ka thei.
8He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
8Siam hontangsakpa a nai hi; kuan ahia hondou ding? Ding khawm niung: hondou kua ahia? Honnaih heh.
9Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
9Ngaiin, Toupa Pathianin honpanpih ding; kuan ahia siamlouh hontang sak ding? Ngaiin, huaite tengteng puansilh bangin a lui ding ua, simin a nese vek ding.
10Who is among you who fears Yahweh, who obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of Yahweh, and rely on his God.
10Na lak ua, Toupa kihtaa, a sikha thumang, kua ahia? Miala vaka, vakna himhim neilouin Toupa min muang henla, a Pathian tungah kinga hen.Mei toha, meiektea kigak tengtengte aw, ngai un: na mei kuang uah leh na meiek halte u lakah vak un? Hiai ka khut akipana na muh ding uh ahi hi: lungkham taka na lupna ding uh.
11Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
11Mei toha, meiektea kigak tengtengte aw, ngai un: na mei kuang uah leh na meiek halte u lakah vak un? Hiai ka khut akipana na muh ding uh ahi hi: lungkham taka na lupna ding uh.
