1Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
1Helhat leh ninnu, nuaisiahhat khopi tung a gik hi;
2She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.
2Aw tuh amang keia, bawlhoihna leng a kipahpih kei; TOUPa ah a muang keia; a Pathian a naih kei hi.
3Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
3A laka a lalte humpinelkai humham ahi ua, a vaihommite nitaklam ngia ahi uh; ajingchiang phain bangmah a nuse kei uh.
4Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
4A jawlneite mi juau leh lepchiah ahi uh; a siamputen munsiangthou a hihbuah ua, dan tungah ahiamgam uhi.
5Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
5A laka TOUPA tuh a diktata; thulimlou a hih kei ding; jingsang tengin a vaihawm khovakah a laka, a vuaksuak ngal keia; himahleh diklouten zum chih a theikei uh.
6I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
6Namte ka sat khetaa, a insangte uh a kisegawp; a kongzingte uh ka susiaa, kuamah a pai kei uh; a khopite uh hihsiatin a oma, huchiin mi a omkei ua a teng a om kei uh.
7I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her.” But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
7Chihtaktakin kei non kihta ding, bawlhoihna na kipahpih ding, ka chi a; huchiin a tenna sat khiakin a om kei dia, amah tungtanga sehsa tengteng bangin; himahleh beltakin a thou ua a hih tengteng uh a sesak uh.
8“Therefore wait for me,” says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
8Huaijiakin matding juana ka thoh ni a tun masiah honnangak un TOUPAN a chi; namte kaihkhom ka tup ahi ngala, lalgamte ka suktuaha a tung ua ka hehna ka sunbuak theihna dingin, ka thangpaihna lauhuai tengteng; ka mullitna meia lei tengteng nekgaiha om ding lah ahi ngala.
9For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of Yahweh, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
9Huai hun chianga mite kianga muk siangthou leh ding ka hih jiakin. TOUPa min a loh ua, thukhat sata amah na a sep theihna ding un.
10From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
10Ethiopia luite khenlam akipan ka gimlim halmite, dalhsa ka mite tanu mahmahin ka thillat a hontawi ding hi.
11In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
11Huai ni chiangin ka tunga na tatlekna, na thil hihte tengteng jiakin na zahlak kei ding; huai hun chianga na laka na mi kisathei uangte lakhe ding ka hih jiakin, huchiin ka tang siangthou ah na kiuangsak nawnta kei ding.
12But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
12Himahleh na lakah mi gimthuak leh genthei ka nuse dinga, TOUPA min ah a muang ding uh.
13The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
13Israel omsunten gilou a hih kei ding ua, juau a gem sam kei ding uh; a kam uah leng lei khemhat a kimu kei ding hi; ne a, lum dinga, amaute kuamahin a hihlau louh ding jiakin.
14Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
14Lasain, Aw Zion tanu; kikouin, aw Israel; na lungtang tengteng toh kipakin nuamsain, Aw Jerusalem tanu.
15Yahweh has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
15TOUPAN na vaihomnate a lamang ta, na melma a delh kheta; na lakah Israel kumpipa, TOUPA ngei, a om hi; gilou na lau nawn kei ding.
16In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”
16Huai ni chiangin, Lau ken, Jerusalem kianga chih ahi ding; Aw Zion, ka khutte zeol sakken.
17Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
17Na lakah TOUPa na Pathian a om, hondam ding mi hat; na itnaah a khawl ding, lasain na tungah a nuam ding hi.
18I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
18Khawmpi kulmut jiaka dahte ka kaikhawm dinga; a tunga puakgik amau dia gensiatna hite.
19Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
19Ngaiin, huai hun chiangin, nang hihgimte tengteng ka bawl dinga; panpih kiphamohnu ka hondam dinga, hawl manga omnu ka la khawm ding; huchiin phatna leh minin a mau ka bawl ding, lei tengtenga a zahlakna uh a na omkhinte,Huai hun chiangin ka honla lut dinga, huai hun chiangin ka honkai khawm ding; leia mite tengteng laka min leh phatnaa nou ka honbawl ding jiakin, na mitmuh ua na saltanna ua kipana ka honpi nawn chiangin, TOUPAN a chi.
20At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.
20Huai hun chiangin ka honla lut dinga, huai hun chiangin ka honkai khawm ding; leia mite tengteng laka min leh phatnaa nou ka honbawl ding jiakin, na mitmuh ua na saltanna ua kipana ka honpi nawn chiangin, TOUPAN a chi.
