1Thus says Yahweh, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of house will you build to me? and what place shall be 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 these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles 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 who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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 on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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 Yahweh, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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 tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.
6Tua! Khopi-a lum vengvung husa! Biakin husa eive! a melmate thukpa Toupa husa eive!
7“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
7Aman vei man louin nau a neia; na man louin pasal naupang a nei hi.
8Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth 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?” says Yahweh: “shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?” says your 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.
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
10Jerusalem iitte tengteng aw, Jerusalem nuamsakpih unla, kipahpih un: amah sunte tengteng aw, kipah jiakin nuamsak pih un.
11that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, 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 says Yahweh, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on 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 comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
13Mi, a nun a lungmuan bangin ka honlungmuan ding; huchiin Jerusalem a lung muan in na om ding uhi.
14You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against 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, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, 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 will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh 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.
17“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
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.
18“For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall 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.
19“I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
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.
20They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
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.
21Of them also will I take for priests and for Levites,” says Yahweh.
21Huan huaite laka kipanin siampu dingte leh Levimi dingte ka la ding, Toupan a chi.
22“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your seed and your name shall 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.
23It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
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.
24“They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
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.
