Ezekiel 21
1 Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Mihem chapa, kiheiyin lang Jerusalem lang khu namai ngat in, chuleh Israelte amuntheng hou dounan gaothu seijin.
“Son of man, face towards Jerusalem and condemn their places of worship. Prophesy against the people living in Israel
3 Amanu khu seipeh in, hichehi keima namelmapa Pakai thusei ahi, O Israel! Keiman namite michonphaho leh migilouho kibanga suhmangna dinga ka chemjam apaija konna kasadoh ding kon cha ahitai.
and tell them that this is what the Lord says: Watch out, because I'm going to attack you! I'm going to take out my sword and destroy you, both the good and the bad.
4 Henge, keiman michonpha le migilou ania kasat lhah ding ahi. Keiman lhanglang sanga patna sahlang chang geija agamsunga chengho jouse douna a kachemjam kasadoh ding ahi.
Because I'm going to destroy both the good and the bad, I will attack everyone from the north to the south.
5 Vannoi leisetna mijousen keima hi Pakai kahi ti ahetdoh diu ahi. Kachemjam hi kakhutna aume, atoh ding atoh chai masang sea apaija kinunghet kitlou ding ahi.
Then the whole world will know that I, the Lord, have taken out my sword, and won't put it back again.
6 Mihem chapa, mihemte masanga khun kaploi loi jengin! Lunghanna nasatah leh lungthim pohkeh pum pumin amasanguva khun kap loiloi temin.
You, son of man, you are to groan. Groan as if you're broken up inside, showing terrible sadness while they watch you.
7 Amahon ipi bolla kap loiloi jenga nahim tia nahindoh teng uleh tijat kichat umtah thuthang kajah jeh a kap loiloi kaji. Ahung guilhun teng lungchang tah tah ho jong kichat jol lhasoh diu, thahat jouse jong mang tante. Lhagao jouse kho helouvin umtante, khupbuh thahattah ho jong twinem in nem lhatante. Ahunga ahitai, lampi a ahunge” tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
When they ask, ‘What are you groaning for?’ you are to tell them, ‘Because of the news that's coming. All of you will lose your courage and you'll be paralyzed with fear. All of you will be weak with worry—you won't be able to stand up!’ Watch out, because it's coming! It's going to happen! declares the Lord God.”
8 Hiti hin Pakaiyin kajah a thu ahin seijin:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Mihem chapa, mipite chu Pakaija hithu kiseihi pen; chemjam khat, chemjam khat akinol hemin chule akinol val tai.
“Son of man, prophesy! Tell them this is what the Lord says: There's a sword, a sword that's being sharpened and polished.
10 Tijat umtah'a kisat teltel nadinga kinol hem ahi. Kolphe vahlap lap banga kinol val ahi. Tua hi nanui nahlai ding ham? Athatna noija nalhuh denna ho sang sanga gamchenga thahatjo ahi.
It's sharpened for killing and polished so it will flash like lightning! (Are we to be happy, saying, ‘The scepter of my son despises every other stick’?)
11 Henge, chemjam chu tua hi kinol hema chuleh kinol valla ahitan; mithatpa gotsa kikoi ahitai.
The sword is being polished right now, ready to be used. It's sharp and polished, ready to be handed over to the killer.
12 Mihem chapa, kapdoh inlang chule peng loi loi jengin; lunghan lungnat val jeh in nakong kisot jengin, ijeh inem itile chemjam chun kamite leh alamkai ho asattel gam diu ahitan, mijouse thidiu ahitai.
Weep and wail, son of man, and slap your thigh in grief, for the sword is going to be used to attack my people, to attack all the leaders of Israel! They will be thrown away, killed by the sword along with my people.
13 Abonchauva patepna munna chu akoi diu ahi. Itobang phat gomkom anei nahlai ding ham rin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
They will be tested. What if the scepter that despises others doesn't continue? declares the Lord God.
14 Mihem chapa, ama koma gaothu seijin, chule nakhut teni bangin. Chuti chun chemjam chu lan lang, chule nivei pei temin, thumvei chan geijin jong, kitoltha gimneitah umding vetsahna in, hiche kitolthana gimnei tah chun ningtinna konna amaho lam ahin maingat ding ahi.
So son of man, prophesy and clap your hands. The sword will attack twice, and then a third time. It is a sword of death, killing many people by coming at them from every direction.
15 Alung change chu kichat tijat in jollha jeng hen, ijeh inem itile kelkot jousea chemjam chu vallah lah jeng ding ahi. Kolphe bangin aval jap jap jengin chule kisat tel tel nadinga kinol val ahitai.
I have placed a sword at all the gates of their city so that they may lose their courage, and many may fall. Oh no! It's made to flash like lightning and used to kill.
16 O chemjam! Najet lang chu sat jeng temin, chule naveilang jong sat temin, hoilai hijongle nahithei theina, hoilai hijongle nanop nopna lailai sat jengin.
Slash right and left, whichever way you're facing.
17 Keiman jong kakhut teni kabeh ding ahi. Chutia chu kalunghanna chimna dingin, kei Pakaiyin kaasei ahi.”
I will also clap my hands, and then my anger will be over. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18 Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi kahenga ahung lhunge:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
19 “Mihem chapa, Babylon lengpa chemjamin ahin jui ding chu lampi ni melchihna dingin map semin. Babylon te hungna ding lampi ni akisona lamka thomma chun melchihna khon khat tungin.
“Son of man, mark the two roads that the king of Babylon's army could take, beginning from the same country. Make a signpost where the road forks, leading to two different cities.
20 Lampi khat chu Ammon jotna chu akhopi Rabbah chule khat chu Judah gam leh kulpi kikai khum Jerusalem jonna ahung nadiu chu ahi.
Have one sign point down the road for an attack on the Ammonite city of Rabbah, and another to attack Judah and the fortified city of Jerusalem.
21 Babylon lengpa chu tua hi lamka thomma chu dinga ahin, Jerusalam abulu ding ham ahilouleh Rabbah abullu ding ham ti hetthei louvin aume. Aman adoithem ho chu akouvin phun asan sah e. Ama athalchang ho chu asanin, avetnan ahatdoh tai.
The king of Babylon is standing at the fork in the road where the two roads meet looking for a prophetic sign: he casts lots using arrows, he asks advice from idols, and he examines the liver of sacrificial animals.
22 Aphun akhut jetlam'a chun “Jerusalem lang jonna sepaihon kelkot suhchim nading thingtum lentah tah akichoi juva, athana diuva kholhang asap uva adelkhum nadiu aseije. Kulbang douna a kemsang adouva chule kaltou nading lampi asemtou diu ahi.
He holds the sign for Jerusalem in his right hand. This is where he is going to set up battering rams, to give the command to attack, to shout the war-cry. There he will order the battering rams to smash the gates, set up an attack ramp, and build a siege wall.
23 Jerusalem miten hiche phun kisan hi dihlou ahi tia agellu ahin, Babylonte toh kinopto na a asemjeh uva. Ahivangin Babylon lengpan mite ahin douding thu ahettoh sah in in ahi. Hitia chu alullu a chule atoupha ding ahi.
To those who have sworn to be loyal to Nebuchadnezzar this will look like a false sign, but it will reveal their guilt and they will be taken prisoner.
24 Hiche jeh a chu thaneitah Pakaiyin hiche thuhi asei ahi: avel vel in nachonsetna hole nathemmona nei geldoh sah jinge. Nangin hiche hiche ho chu seldoh ding beh nagopoi. Nathil bol jouse a nachonsetna ho chu mijousen amu jeng theidiu akilange. Hijeh a chu na ki engbolna ding phat chu hung lhunga ahitai.
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you have revealed your guilt and demonstrated your rebellion, showing your sins in everything you've done, now that you've made all this clear, you will be taken prisoner.
25 O nangho danbei leh gitlouna Israel leng chapate nangho chungchang ngaitona achaina nikho chu hilai ahitai.”
As for you, you unclean, wicked prince of Israel, the time has come to complete your punishment.
26 Hiche hi thaneitah pakai thusei chu ahi: “Nasong mantam Lallukhuh chu ladoh tan, ajeh chu danlui chengse kikhel soh ahitai. Tua hi minoinung chu kichoisanga chule mithahat chu kiloi lhading ahi.
This is what the Lord God says: Take off your turban, and your crown. Things won't continue as they were. Give power to the common people and bring down the powerful!
27 Manthahna! Manthahna! Keiman lenggam chu kasuh mangtei tei ding ahi. Chule thutan ding dihtah pachu ahung kilah kahsea avela kitung doh kit louhel ding ahi. Hiche teng chuleh amapa khutna kapeh doh ding ahi.
I'm going to destroy everything, make it all a ruin! It won't be restored until its owner arrives, the one I've given the authority to judge.
28 Chule tun, Mihem chapa, Amon mite le ami isahlou nau chungchang gaothu seijin. Thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thuhi pen: “Chemjam khat, chemjam khat, nangma kisattel jeng nadingin dodoh san akikoi tai, suhmang nadingin akinot valtai, kolphe banga vah lap lap in!
Prophesy, son of man, and announce that this is what the Lord God says about the Ammonites and their insults: A sword! A sword is ready for killing, polished to destroy, to flash like lightning,
29 Nathemgao houvin gaothil muna alhem napeh jiu ahi, chule navang san ji houvin jong ajou jou aseijiu ahi. Chemjam chu migiloute ngong changa chiding ahi, ajeh chu nachung chang thu kitan chai nading nikho chu hunga ahitai.
even as your prophets give you false visions and prophecies that are lies. This sword will cut the necks of the wicked, killing them—those whose day has come for their punishment to be completed.
30 Tunna chemjam chu apaija henglut kittan, napen nagam chu nangma gam mong mong ahi ding jeh chun na chunga thutanna kahin lhut khum ding ahi.
Sword, go back to where you came from! I'm going to judge you right where you were created, in your homeland.
31 Kalungsatna keiman nachunga kahin sunkhum ding nahi chule kalung han meikou kahin semkhum diu nahi. Keiman mi khanseho mi suhmang a them ho khutna kapeh doh ding nahi.
I will deal with you in my anger; I will breathe my fire of anger on you; I will hand you over to cruel men who are experts in destruction.
32 Nangma chu meiya ti ding thinga napan ding ahi. Chule nathisan chu nangma gam leiset mama a kithethang sing ahi. Nangma geldoh kit louhel dinga na kitheh ngim ding ahi. Thusimbu a konna jong nangma kihet jingna mang ding ahi, ajeh chu keima Pakaiyin kaseidoh sa ahi.
You will be burned up like firewood. Your blood will be shed where you live. You will be forgotten, for I, the Lord, have spoken.”
