Ezekiel 19
1 Hiche thi lhahna la a hi Israel leng chapate dingin sah peh in.
Thou. therefore take up a dirge, for the prince 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 thou shalt say— How was thy mother a lioness, Between lions, she lay down, - In the midst of young lions, She nourished her whelps;
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 reared up one of her whelps— A young lion, he became, And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured.
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.
Then nations heard of him. In their pit, was he caught, — So they brought him with hooks. 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.
And she saw she had waited Lost was her hope, Then took she another of her whelps. A young lion, she made him.
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.
Yea he went to and fro amidst lions A young lion, he became, - And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured;
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 injured his widows, And their cities, laid waste, - And deserted was the land and its fulness, At 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 set upon him the nations round about. From the provinces, - And spread over him their net In their pit, was he caught;
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 a cage with hooks, And brought him to Babylon’s king, — They brought him into strong-holds, That his noise might be heard no more Among 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 [was] like a vine of thy vineyard, By waters, was planted, — Fruitful and full of branches, she became By reason of waters abundant;
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 they served her as staves of power For the sceptres of rulers, And high became the stature thereof With its interwoven foliage, - And it was seen by its height, By its multitude of 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.
Then was she uprooted in indignation To the ground, was she cast, And an east wind, dried up her fruit, —Broken off and withered were her staves of power, A fire, devoured them.
13 Tun lengpigui chu gamthip lah a toltah leh tolgo lah a chun aphut chon tauvin ahi.
Now, therefore, is she planted in a desert, -In a land parched 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 there hath gone forth a fire out of her staves of rods. Her fruit, hath it devoured, And there is in her no staff of power. As a sceptre to bear rule. A dirge, it is, and hath been made a dirge.
