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, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among 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 up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured 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.
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto 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.
Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young 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, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured 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.
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was 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.
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
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 in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, 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 waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason 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 had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with 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 fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 Tun lengpigui chu gamthip lah a toltah leh tolgo lah a chun aphut chon tauvin ahi.
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
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 fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
