Ezekiel 19
1 Hiche thi lhahna la a hi Israel leng chapate dingin sah peh in.
“And as for you, take up a lament over the leaders of Israel,
2 Nanu chu ipi ham? Keipi ho lah a keipi api chu ahi. Keipi lagol ho lah a luma chuleh anoute akivah ahi.
and you shall say: Why did your mother, the lioness, recline among the male lions, and raise her little ones in the midst of young lions?
3 Keipi chun anoute lah a khat chu avah khangin ahatdoh sahtai. Amapa chun sadel je leh anehje akihil in, chute chun mihem nen ahung pang tai.
And she led away one of her little ones, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to consume men.
4 Hichun namtin in amapa thu chu aja tauve. Chuleh amapa chu leiko hom thanga chun aman tauve. Amapa chu thihkol abupeh uvin Egypt gam langa akai tauve.
And the Gentiles heard about him, and they seized him, but not without receiving wounds. And they led him away in chains to the land of Egypt.
5 Keipi nun hichu amau phat amapa dinga amanu kinepna jouse chu abeitai. Amanun anou dang khat chu alan, keipi gol thahattah in avahdoh tai.
Then, when she had seen that she was weakened, and that her hope had perished, she took one of her little ones, and appointed him as a lion.
6 Keipi dangho lah a akithol lelen amaho lah a chun thahattah in ahung dingdoh tai. Amapa chun sadel je leh sahing nehje akithem chuh in chule ama jong mihem nen ahung paitai.
And he advanced among the lions, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to devour men.
7 Aman khopi kulpi ho asusen, chuleh khopi neoho leh khopi lenho asumang in alou hou jong mi chen louna aso peh in chuleh achang hou jong asuhmang peh tai. Amahon ahung kisen ajah tengule agamsung leh amipiho kichat in akithing jiuve.
He learned to make widows, and to lead their citizens into the desert. And the land, with its plenitude, was made desolate by the voice of his roaring.
8 Hichun namtin vaipi a kon sepaihon ahin buluvin, akimvel jouse ah aum khum, a len u asekhumun chuleh len ho a chun aman tauve.
And the Gentiles came together against him, on every side, from the provinces, and they spread their net over him; by their wounds, he was captured.
9 Thihkol pumin bom sunga akai lut un chuleh Babylon lengpa masangah ahin polut tauve. Songkul'ah ahen chah kheh uvin, hijeh chun Israel molsang ho chunga chun a Ogin akinung jah kit tapoi.
And they put him into a cage; they led him in chains to the king of Babylon. And they cast him into a prison, so that his voice would no longer be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Nanu chu twi panga kiphut lengpigui tobang ahi. Twi thalhin set jeh a phoi keh dimsetna thingphung ado eng jing jenga ahi.
Your mother is like a vine, in your blood, planted by the water; her fruit and her branches have increased because of many waters.
11 Abah ho jong ahung hatdoh tan, leng tenggol a pang thei ahitai. Adangho jouse sangin ahng sang doh tai. Sangtah in ahung dingdoh in chuleh abah tamtah ahin sepdoh e.
And her strong branches were made into scepters for the rulers, and her stature was exalted among the branches. And she saw her own loftiness among the multitude of her branches.
12 Ahinlah lengpigui chu lunghan jeh in akibot doh in tollah akiseplha tan ahi. Nelgam huijin agaho amutgo gamtan chuleh abah lhou tah tah ho jong chu akisat lhagam tai. Hijeh chun agoplha tan chuleh meiyin ahal mang tauve.
But she was uprooted in wrath, and cast upon the ground. And the burning wind dried up her fruit. Her robust branches withered and were dried up. A fire consumed her.
13 Tun lengpigui chu gamthip lah a toltah leh tolgo lah a chun aphut chon tauvin ahi.
And now she has been transplanted into the desert, into a land impassable and dry.
14 Abah ho lah a kon chun mei ahung kong doh in, agaho akavam gam tai. Abah akamoh chengse chu vaihompa tenggol thei dingin jong ahatdoh jou tapoi. Hiche hi thi lhahna la ahin, chule thina a kimang ding ahi.”
And a fire has gone forth from a rod of her branches, which has consumed her fruit. And there is no strong branch in her to become a scepter for the rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be a lamentation.”
