Ezekiel 21

1 Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge:

Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying:

2 “Mihem chapa, kiheiyin lang Jerusalem lang khu namai ngat in, chuleh Israelte amuntheng hou dounan gaothu seijin.

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of 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 say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

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.

Seeing then that I cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.

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.

And all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

6 Mihem chapa, mihemte masanga khun kaploi loi jengin! Lunghanna nasatah leh lungthim pohkeh pum pumin amasanguva khun kap loiloi temin.

Thou, therefore, O son of man, sigh! With the breaking of thy loins, and with bitterness, sigh before their eyes!

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.

And when they shall say to thee, “Wherefore sighest thou?” thou shalt say, “For the rumor, because it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall fail, and all knees shall flow with water. Behold it cometh, it shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord Jehovah.”

8 Hiti hin Pakaiyin kajah a thu ahin seijin:

Also the word of Jehovah 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, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, The sword, the sword is sharpened and furbished.

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 is sharpened, that it may make sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter. Or shall we make mirth? The staff of my son despiseth every rod.

11 Henge, chemjam chu tua hi kinol hema chuleh kinol valla ahitan; mithatpa gotsa kikoi ahitai.

And he gave it to be furbished that it might be handled. The sword is sharpened and furbished, to be given into the hand of the slayer.

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.

Cry and howl, son of man! for it cometh upon my people, upon all the princes of Israel. They are given up to the sword with my people. Therefore smite upon thy thigh.

13 Abonchauva patepna munna chu akoi diu ahi. Itobang phat gomkom anei nahlai ding ham rin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.

The trial is made. And what if even the contemning staff should be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.

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.

Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together! for twice, yea thrice, cometh the sword, a sword of slaughter, a sword of great slaughter, that besetteth them on every side.

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.

That their hearts may faint, and their overthrown may be multiplied, I have set the terror of the sword against all their gates. Ah, how is it made to glitter, polished for slaughter!

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.

Unite thyself, smite to the right, prepare thyself, smite to the left, whithersoever thine edge is turned!

17 Keiman jong kakhut teni kabeh ding ahi. Chutia chu kalunghanna chimna dingin, kei Pakaiyin kaasei ahi.”

I also will smite my hands together, and cause mine anger to cease. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

18 Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi kahenga ahung lhunge:

The word of Jehovah came to me again, 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.

Do thou, son of man, appoint thee two ways by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come; from one land shall both of them come; and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

20 Lampi khat chu Ammon jotna chu akhopi Rabbah chule khat chu Judah gam leh kulpi kikai khum Jerusalem jonna ahung nadiu chu ahi.

Appoint a way, that the sword may come towards Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and towards Judah, to Jerusalem, the fenced city.

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.

For the king of Babylon shall stand at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shall shake together his arrows, he shall consult the teraphim, he shall look at the liver.

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.

In his right hand shall be the lot: Jerusalem, to set battering-rams, to open the mouth with the war-cry, to lift up the voice in shouting, to set battering-rams against the gates, to cast up a mound, to build a tower.

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.

And this shall appear a false divination in their sight, because they swore oaths to them. But he shall call to remembrance their iniquity, that they may be taken.

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.

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear, —because, I say, ye bring yourselves into remembrance, ye shall be taken with that hand.

25 O nangho danbei leh gitlouna Israel leng chapate nangho chungchang ngaitona achaina nikho chu hilai ahitai.”

And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day cometh in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction!

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.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will remove the diadem, and take away the crown! This shall no more be this. I exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

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 will destroy, destroy, destroy it; and it shall be no more until he come to whom the right belongeth, and to whom I will give it.

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!

And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the sons of Ammon and their scorn; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn; to slay, to consume, is it furbished, so that it glittereth;

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.

while they see deceit for thee, and prophesy falsehood, that it may bring thee to the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day cometh in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction.

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.

Return the sword into its sheath! In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity, I will judge thee,

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.

and I will pour upon thee my indignation, I will blow upon thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hands of brutal men, skilful to destroy.

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.

Thou shalt be fuel for the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; men shall no more remember thee. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
