Ezekiel 3
1 Ogin khat chun kajah a thu aseijin, “Mihem chapa, ipi hile kapeh hohi nen – hiche lekhajol hi nen. Chuti chun chen lang kathusei ho hi Israel mipi gasei peh tan,” eiti.
And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel!
2 Hijeh chun kakam kakat leh lekhajol eineh sah e.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the roll to eat.
3 “Hichu oiva set in nen,” atin ahi. Chule keiman kanen ahileh hichu kakamah khoiju lhumin alhume.
And he said to me, Son of man, let thy stomach eat, and fill thy body with this roll which I give thee! Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Hichun kajah a “Mihem chapa Israel mipi ho henga khun chen lang kathusei ho hi amaho gaseipeh tan” tin aseije.
And he said to me: Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them!
5 Keiman nangma gamdang mi apauvu nangin kahet lou miho koma kasol nahi poi.
For not to a people of a dark speech and a hard language art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;
6 Ahipoi keiman hetkhah lou miho leh kihoupi hahsa miho koma kasol nahipoi.
not to many nations of a dark speech and a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Truly, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
7 Ahinlah mipite chun kei thusei angainom lou sang uvin ngainom deh pouvinte. Ijeh inem itile apumpiuva hi milungtah te le milouchalte ahiuve.
But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For the whole house of Israel is brazen-faced and stiff-hearted.
8 Ahinlah ven keiman nangma hi amaho tobanga louchal tah leh lungtah tah a kasem nahi.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 Sontah pen tah sanga tah jon nachalpang kasem peh e. Hijeh chun amaho khu kicha hih in, ahiloule doumah in chon uhen lunghang tah in nahin ve jong leu
As an adamant, harder than flint, have I made thy forehead; fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks; for they are a rebellious house.
10 Hichun aman abelap in mihem chapa kathuho jouse hi nangma lungchang mong monga longlut masa hen. Nanga ding tumin hicheho chu ngaiphan.
Moreover, he said to me: Son of man, all my words, which I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears!
11 Chuti chun namite sohchangho koma khun chen lang chuleh amaho gasei peh tan, “Hichehi thanei vaihom Pakai thusei ahi, ngaiju hen lang ngaihih jong leu gabol in,” atin ahi.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Hichun lhagaovin keima eidomsang in ahile keiman kanung langa thilging lutlut husa gin khat kajan ahi. (Pakai loupina chu amun a chun vahchoijin umhen).
Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound, as of a great rushing, saying, “Praised be the majesty of Jehovah from his place!”
13 Hiche ho chu ganhing ho lhaving khat leh khat akijap khah tou gin le amaho noija kangtalai ho ging lullul husa gin chu ahi.
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures, that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even a noise of a great rushing.
14 Lhagao chun keima eidomsang in eipo mangtai. Keima lunghang tah le lung chih lah lah a kaumin ahi, ahinlah Pakai chu akhut thahattah chun eituh e.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.
15 Hichun Kebar vadung pang Tel-abib mun a Juda sohchang ho chenna munna chun kahung lhunge, kalung akham val in amaho lah a chun nisagi kaga touve.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar; and I dwelt where they dwelt; I even dwelt astonished among them seven days.
16 Nisagi kichaijin Pakaiyin kakoma thu aseitai, aman aseijin,
And at the end of seven days, the word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
17 “Miihem chapa, keiman nangma hi Israel ngah ding kapansah nahitai. Keija konna thu najah tihtih leh mipi ho chu gangtah in gihsal jengin.
Son of man, I have set thee as a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me!
18 Keiman migiloupa chu thina chan gimna chang ding nahitai tia kaseija, ahialah nangin nagihsal louva ahileh amaho chu achonset naova thiden diu ahitai. Chule athinao themmona a chu nang chung kahin del ding ahi.
When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die! and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he may live, that wicked man shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
19 Nangin nagih salla ahija la amapa chun alung ahei nom louva a chonset jinga ahileh achonset na a chu thiden ding ahitai. Ahinlah nangin keima thu nangai jeh a nahinkho naki huhhong ding ahi.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Michonpha ho chu achonphat nauva konna akihei mang uva akituh oh nao alampiuva kakoi peh akihetmo sah uva ahitah leh thiden diu ahitan, chule nangin nagihsal louva nakoija ahileh achonset nauva thidiu ahitai. Achonphat naoo khat cha jong kigeldoh peh talou diu ahitan, chule themmona chu nachunga kahin lhut ding ahi.
Again, when a righteous man turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, and he shall die because thou hast not given him warning, he will die for his sin; and his righteousness which he hath done will not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
21 Ahinlah michonpha ho chu achonphat nauva konna achonset lou nadiuva nagih salla chule amahon nathusei angai uva achonset dauva ahileh amaho chu hingdoh diu ahi. Chutengleh nangin jong nahinkho nakihuh hing ding ahi.”
Yet if thou warn the righteous man, that he sin not, and the righteous man doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he hath received warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.
22 Chuin Pakai chun ituh chah in chule ahin seije, “Kipat doh in lang phaicham langa khun chen chule hiche munna chu keiman najah a thu kaseipeh ding nahi,” ati.
And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me, and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and there will I speak with thee.
23 Hijeh chun keijong kakipat doh in kachetai. Chule hiche munna chun Kebar vadung pang kana mu masat tobang chun Pakai loupina chu kamun hichun kamai tolla kasulut tai.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain, and lo, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
24 Chuin Lhagao chu kasunga ahung lut in kakeng phang tenin eidin sah tai, Aman eihoulim pin kajah a “Chenlang nainsunga nangma chang kot ga kikha khum tan” ati.
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spake with me, and said to me: Go, shut thyself within thy house.
25 Mihem chapa, hiche munna chu nangma khaova naki kanchah a hijeh a chu miho henga nachedoh theilou ding ahi.
And behold, O son of man, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound therewith; and thou shalt not go out among them.
26 Chule keiman nalei chu nadang chunga kabe den sah a hijeh a chu paomo a naum ding amaho chu nasap set thei louding ahi. Ajeh chu amaho khu doumah bolte ahiuve.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
27 Amavang keiman thu kaseipeh tengleh nalei kalhap kang peh a thu kasei sah ding nahi. Chutengleh nangin amaho koma chu, hiche thanei vaihom Pakai thusei ahi, nati ding ahi. Koi hileh ngai ding goho chun ngaijuhen amavang angainom louho chun ngaida hen ajeh chu ama chu doumah bolte ahiuve.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that will hear, let him hear, and he that will forbear, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
