Ezekiel 20
1 Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum sagi lhin kum August 14 nin, Israel lamkai ho phabep Pakaija kon thuseidoh nomin ahung uve. Amaho chu kamasanga atouvun adonbutna angah uve.
It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
2 Hichun Pakaija konin hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge.
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
3 “Mihem chapa, hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. ‘Nanghon iti dana keima thu neidoh ngammjeng uham? Keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Keiman nangho ima seipeh pouvinge’ tin Israel lamkai ho seipeh tan.
"Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you."'
4 Mihem chapa, amaho dounan achungchang thu kisutna chu hin podoh in lang amaho chu themmo chan temin. Apu apateu kidah um umtah'a achonset nau khu geldohsah in.
Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
5 Pakaija kon hiche thu kisei hi amaho chu seipeh in. Keiman Israel kana lhen chun Egypt gam'a um Jacob chilhah ho koma keimatah kana kilah in, keima Pakai hi a Pathen u kahi ding ahi tin kitah tah in kihahsel in kana neije.
and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, 'I am the LORD your God';
6 Hiche nikho mama chun keiman kitah tah in kaki hahsel in, keiman amaho chu Egypt gam'a konna kahin puidoh a amaho dinga kamudoh a kahetdoh nag am phapen, khoiju leh bongnoi lonna gam'a kapuilut ding ahi.
in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
7 Hichun keiman amaho koma kaseijin, nangho amichan cheh in nalung sungu lodimset kidah umtah milima kon chun hung potdoh'un. Egypt mite milim doi semthu a chun kisuboh hih un. Ajeh chu keima na Pathen u kahi.
I said to them, 'Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.'
8 Ahinlah amaho kei dounan, doumah mah abol'un, kathu angai pouve. Alungsungu lodimset kidah dah um, chonsetna konna ahung kiheidoh uva, ahilouleh Egypt mite doilim semthu ho ahin dalha pouve. Hichun keiman kalung hanna suhbulhit nadinga kalungsatna nachung uva twisun a kasun lhah khum diu ahi tin kagih sal e.
But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 Ahinlah ja umtah kamin huhdoh nadingin kaseisa chu kabol tapoi. Egypt gam'a kipatna Israel te kahin puidoh laiya namtin vaipi keima tah akimvel uva chengho mitmua kana kiphonna min chu jaum leh jachatna aum ding chu kana phal poi.
But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Hijeh chun keiman Egypt gam'a kipat in amaho chu gamthip noija kahin puidoh in,
"'"So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 Hiche munna chun keiman kathupeh leh kachondan ho ahin theina dinguva achinghoi diuvin kanapen,
I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
12 Chule amaho leh keima kikah kiguijop nading kacholngah nikho kanapen ahi. Keima a Pakaiju kahi a chuleh athenga aumdohna ding uva ana chomkhen pa kahi chu ahet jing theina ding uva kana peh ahi.
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
13 Ahivangin Israel miten keidou nan doumah mah abol uvin, chuleh gamthip noija chun kathupeh ho ajui nom pouve. Seingaina chun chenna apeh diu vang chun kachon dan ho juinom deh pouvin te. Kacholngah nikho jong asukeh uve. Hijeh chun kalunsatna sunlhah khum jeng din kana gihsal in, chuleh gamthip laiya chu suhmang hel jeng ding hitam tin kana gonge.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Ahivangin Israelte Egypt gam'a kipatna kathahatna kahin puidoh anamu namtin vaipiho masanga kamin kijabol huhdoh nadingin, kanung tahdoh kit tai.
But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Ahinlah gamthip noija chun amaho dounan kihahselna dihtah kaneijin, keiman peh dinga kagotna khoiju leh bongnoi lonna gamsung leiset chunga gamhoi pen gam'a chu kapuilut louhel diu ahi tia kaki hahsel ahi.
"'"Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the most beautiful of all lands;
16 Ijeh inem itile amahon kachondan ho anotthap un thupeh ho ajui nom pouvin, chuleh ka cholngah niho asukeh uve. Alungthim houvin amilim doi semthu hou bou agellui.
because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17 Hijeng jongleh achung'uva lainatna kanei kit in gamthip noija suhmang ding kagotsa kahaijin, kana sumang tapoi. Beihel in jong kalha poi.
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18 Hitichun keiman achateu chun anu apateu khonung ajui lou diu, amilim doi semthu houva akisuhboh lou diu kadeije.
"'"I said to their children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Keima na Pakai na Pathen u kahi, kathupeh ho nit uvin lang, kachondan ho lunglut tah in jui uvin.
I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;
20 Chuleh ka cholngah niho athengin koi uvin, ajeh chu hiche hi nang le keima Pakai na Pathen u toh ikiguijop nau melchihna ahi tin kaseipeh uve.
and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'
21 Ahivangin lah achate hou jengin keidounan doumah abol'uve. Amahon sei angai uva ahileh ahinpi diu ahijeng vang'in ajui nom pouve. Chuleh amahon ka cholngah niho asukeh kit uve. Hijeh chun kalungsatna hi gamthip noija twisuna kasun lhah khum diu nahi tin kagihsal kit e.
But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Hijeng ta jongle kathahat sanna Egypt gam'a konna kahin mu a namtin vaipi ho masanga kamin kijabolna venbit nadingin suhmang dinga kana gotsa kanung lahdoh kit tai.
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
23 Ahinlah gamthip noija chun amaho dounan amahohi namtin vaipi ho lah a kathethang ding ahi tin kihahselna dettah in kabol e.
Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
24 Amahon keima chondan ajui nom pouve. Amahon kathupeh ho deimo vetsahnan kacholngah nikho ho asukeh uve. Chuleh aputeu apateu milim doi semthu ho bou chu angaicha jing uve.
because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
25 Keiman amaho chunga chun hinna a apuilou diu thupeh ho leh chondan hi kapen ahi.
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;
26 Keiman thilpeh a kapeh ho tah chun amaho leh amaho kisuboh tauvinte katin chuleh a Pathen hou govam thilto a ato diuvin achapa peng masa pen hou govam dingin kaphal peh uve. Hijeh chun amaho kasuhmang theina dingleh keima changseh hi Pakai kahi chu ahetdoh theina dinguva hiche hi kapeh ahi.
and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD."'
27 Hijeh chun mihem chapa thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thu Israel mipite chu pen. Napu napateuvin eina taitom un, chuleh mikhutna eina pedoh uve.
"Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
28 Keiman amohpeh dinga kaki hahselna sa gamsunga kahin puilut phat in amahon molsang sang lai jouse leh thingna engnoi tin amudoh jouseu kithoina govam thilto atoh uve. Amilim doi semthu ho govam thilto ahouvu chun kalungsatna chu asuthou bebe jeng uve. Amahon gim namtwi leh thao namtwi ho chu ahinchoi jun hicheho houva chun aasunglha lha jenguve.
For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.
29 Keiman nachennau munsang ho chu ipi kiti ham tia amaho koma kasei jeh chun (pathen tahsan louho muntheng chu tuni chan geijin Bamah munsang akitin ahi)
Then I said to them, 'What does the high place where you go mean?' So its name is called Bamah to this day."'
30 Hiijeh chun Israel mite chu thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thuhi pen. Napu napa teuvin anabol bang banguva chu nangho leh nangho kisuboh dinga nakigot uham? Kidah umtah milim doiho houna a chu nangho leh nangho noti chonna chon jeng dinga nakigel jeng nahlai uham?
"Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
31 Ajeh chu nachateu govam thilto dinga nachateu neucha chaho amaho thilpeh a napeh jing jeh uva chu tuni chan gei namilim doi semthu uva chu nakisuhboh jengu ahin, achutile keima komma thu neidoh diu chu kaphal peh diu hinam? O Israle mite! Keima kahin laisen imacha naseipeh pouvinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
And when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the LORD, I will not be inquired of by you;
32 Nanghon akimvel uva namtin vaipiho thingle songa kisem milim doi houho bangin um uhite tin nasei uve. Ahivangin nalung uva nagel u chu hithei louhel ding ahi.
and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, 'We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.'
33 Tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Keiman kalung hanna nasatah a nachunga thih khuttuma leh kichat tijatna thahattah'a vai kahin hom khum ding nahi.
As I live," says the LORD, "surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:
34 Chuleh lunghang tah a kakhut thahattah leh kaban jang thahattah kahin lhan doh ding chu nakithe cheh nau gamho a konna kahin le puikhom kit ding nahiuve.
and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
35 Keiman namtin vaipi ho gamthip noija kahin puilutna chuleh hiche munna chu kimaito a nathu katan ding ahi.
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 Egypt gam'a konna napu napateu kahin puidoh nunga gamthip noija athu katan banga chu hiche lau munna chu nathu katan ding ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you," says the LORD.
37 Keiman nang chingthei tah a kavet chil uva chuleh kitepna dungjuija katuh dingu nahi.
"I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
38 Doumah bolho leh kei douna galbol ho jouse nalah uva konna kasuh theng dingu ahi. Keiman amaho chu akisol mang nau gam'a konna kahin puikit uva, ahivanga amaho chu Israel gam lut louhel diu ahi. Hitia chu nanghon keima Pakai kahi chu nahet doh dingu ahi.
and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the LORD."
39 O Israel mite, nangho dinga thaneitah Pakai thusei chu hiche hi ahi. Amasanga khun che inlang, chuleh namilim doi semthu ho chu gahou kit tan. Ahivangin agang ham agei ham le nangin kathu nangaija chule namilim doi houva kamintheng suhboh nangah dingu ahitai.
"'As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD: "Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
40 Ajeh chu keima molsang theng leh Israel mol thupi ho chunga chu nikho khat teng chule Israel miten eihin hou dingu, chuleh keiman amaho chu kakisan diu ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Hiche munna chu nanghon nathilto ho jouseu leh deilhen thilpeh chu kilhaina ho chu nahin ngeh ding ahi.
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel," says the LORD, "there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
41 Nakisol mang nauva konna in na kahin puilhung teng uleh keija dinga kilhaina lunglhai umtah chu nahi diu ahi. Chutia chu namtin vaipi ho vet ding nangho a chu kathenna kaphon doh ding ahi.
As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
42 Hitia chu keiman napu napa teu koma peh dinga tahsan tah a kaki hahsella kaki tepna gamsung a in uva kahin lut tengu leh nang hon keima hi Pakai kahi ti neihet dingu ahi.
You shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
43 Nanghon nahole nangho nakisuhboh nau lampi ho chu nanung vet uva chule nathilse boljeh uva nangho leh nangho jong nakideimo dingu ahi.
There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
44 O Israel mite, nangho nagitlouna dungjui hilouva kamin jabolna jal'a ngailutna lhingsetna kagihsal uleh nanghon keima hi Pakai kahi ti nahin hetdoh dingu ahi, tin thaneitah Pakaiyin anaseije.
You shall know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel," says the LORD.'"
45 Hiti chun Pakaija konin hiche thuseihi kahenga ahung lhunge.
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
46 Mihem chapa kiheijin lang lhanglang khu namai ngait inlang chule amaho dounan thuseijin: Negev gammang dounan gaothu seijin.
"Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;
47 Lhanglang sang gamthip jah a khun seipeh in, ‘hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi; Pakai thusei hi ngaijuvin! Keiman mei kahin halla chule thingphung jouse chu a-eng hihen ago hijongleh ania kavam soh ding ahi. Tijat umtah ameikou chu kisumit pontin, lhanglang sanga patna sahlang sang chan a kagop ding ahi.
and tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.
48 Chutia chu vannoi leisetna mijousen hiche mei chu keima hal ahi ti amu cheh diu ahin, kiphel mit joulou ding ahi.
All flesh shall see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."'"
49 Hichun keiman, O thaneitah Pakai! Aman thuchih jengin thu aseije, tin kajah a aseijuve katin ahi.
Then I said, "Ah, LORD. They say of me, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"
