Ezekiel 19
1 Hiche thi lhahna la a hi Israel leng chapate dingin sah peh in.
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes 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 say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps 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 brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour 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 nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into 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.
But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for 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 went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the 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 lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise 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 nations Game together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken.
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 brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more 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.
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out 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 she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in 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 plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her.
13 Tun lengpigui chu gamthip lah a toltah leh tolgo lah a chun aphut chon tauvin ahi.
And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, 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 is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
