Ezekiel 30
1 Pakaija konna kahenga hunglhung thudang khat chu hiche hi ahi:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Mihem chapa, gaovin lang chule thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi seipeh in: “Hiche nikho a ding chun kap inlang chule peng loi jengin.
“You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.
3 Ijeh inem itileh Pakai nikho kicaht umtah nikho chu ahung naitai. Hiche nikho chu meiyin nikho leh muthim nikho hintin, namtin vaipi dinga kinepna bei nikho hiding ahi.
That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.
4 Chemjam khat chu Egypt dounan hungin tin, chule akisat lih mihem ho chun tol akhujol soh ding ahi. Ahaosatna jouse kipo mangin chule akipat nau jouse kisumang ding ahi. Ethopia gam chu kipah doh ding ahi.
[An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.
5 Ethopi, Libya, Lydia, Arabia gam jouse chule amaho to pang khom jouse hiche galla chu kisumang soh hel diu ahi.
[Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”
6 Ijeh inem itile Pakaiyin hitin aseije: Egypt leh apanpi jouse lhudiu ahi, chule akiloupi sahna athahatna akichai tai. Megidol a kipat Aswan chan geija amaho chu chemjama kasat lih gam ding ahi, tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
7 Egypt gam dalhah a uma dalhahsa namtin vaipi hon aum kimvel diu chule akhopi ho jouse ahom keuva kijama ahomkeuva kijam khopi dang hon aumkim vel diu ahi.
Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].
8 Chutia chu Egypt miten keima hi Pakai kahi ti ahetdoh diu ahi. Keiman Egypt meiya hallhah a chule apanpiho jouse kasuhmang tengleh
Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
9 Hiche phat eng chuleh keiman Ethopia lung kipah tah a um chu kichatsah nadinga thupole gangtah khat konga kahin sol ding ahi. Egypt gam akisumang tah tah nikho teng chuleh lung linglauna nasatah achunguva hung lhung ding ahi. Hichu ve jingin, hung lhung teitei ding ahitai.
At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”
10 Hiche jeh a chu hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei chu ahi. Bebylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar thahatna Egypt gam'a indet neilou ho kasuhmang ding ahi.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.
11 Amale asepaite lungsetna beihel ho agam suse dinga kisol diu ahi. Amahon Egypt douna gal abol uva chule Egypt mite chu tollhanga asat chap diu ahi.
Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.
12 Keiman Nile vadung chu kakan gotsah a chule agam chu migilou ho khutna kajoh ding ahi. Gamdang mite khut mangcha a Egypt gam le asunga athil ijakai kasuhmang ding ahi. Keima Pakaiyin kaseisa ahi.
I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”
13 Hiche hi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: Keiman Egypt te milim doi Memphis lim kasuhchip ding ahi. Egypt gam sunga vaihom kidalha umlou ding kichat tijatnan agamsung alonvuh ding ahi.
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.
14 Keiman Egypt lhanglam kasuh manga Zoan meiya kahalhah a chule Pathros te douna a thutan kahin pohlut ding ahi.
I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].
15 Egypt kulpi lhoupen Pelusium chunga kalungsatna twisunna kasun lhah khuma chuel Thebes mi kichao lele ho kachotpha a kadelmang ding ahi.
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.
16 Henge keiman Egypt pumpi meiya kahal ding ahi. Pelusium chu natlesat in ajin khum ding ahi. Thebes chu kitum keh a Memphis chu kichat tijat na long louva hing diu ahi.
I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.
17 Heliopolis leh Bubasti golhang ho gal kisatna a thidiu, chule numei ho chu soh dinga kikai mang diu ahi.
[Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].
18 Keima kahunga Egypt kiloupi sahna athahatna kasuh keh teng Tahpanhes ho dinga jong muthim nikho hiding ahi. Meilhang vom chun Tahpanhes ahin khukhum ding ahi. Chule achanu teu chu songkul tang ding kipui mang diu ahi.
It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”
19 Chule chutia chu keiman Egypt nasatah a ka engbol teng, chule amahon keima Pakai kahi ahetdoh diu ahi.
That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
20 Jehoiachin lengpa sohchan kal kum som leh kum khat lhin kum Lhatun 29 nin Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi kahenga ahung lhunge.
Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
21 Mihem chapa keiman Egypt lengpa Pharaoh banjang kavoh boh ahitai. Ama ban jang chu adamdoh kitna dingin akitom jol pehpoi. Chemjam adop kit theina dingin jong ahatdoh kitna ding jong malouvin jong akitom peh poi.
“You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.
22 Hiti ahijeh a chu thaneitah Pakaiyin hichehi asei ahi. Keima Egypt lengpa Pharaoh melma kahi. Keiman abanjangte kaheboh peh a abanjang aphalang chu abong langkhat chule keiman achemjam chu tolla kaselhah sah ding ahi.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.
23 Keiman Egypt mite chu vannoi leiset gam jouse a kathethang diu ahi.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].
24 Keiman Babylon lengpa sepai ho chu kathahat sah a chule kachemjam chu akhut uva kakoi peh diu ahi, ahivangin Egypt lengpa Pharaoh banjang teni kaheboh peh a chule ama nasa tah a machanga lum ding natgim thoh lella peng peng ding ahi.
[It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.
25 Keiman Babylon lengpa banjang teni chu kahat doh sah a Pharaoh ban jang teni amadinga pan nabeija umding ahi. Chule keiman kachemjam Babylon lengpa khutna kakoi teng aman Egypt gam douna a ahin manding ahi. Hiteng chule Egypt ten keima Pakai kahi ahin hetdoh diu ahi.
I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.
26 Keiman Egypt mite namtin vaipi lah a kathe thanga leiset chung muntinna kathe chansoh ding ahi. Hiteng chule amahon keima Pakai kahi eihet doh diu ahi.
I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”
