Ezekiel 31
1 Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum somle kum khat channa Lhadou 21 nikho hin Pakaija kon hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Mihem chapa hiche thuhi Egypt lengpa Pharaoh leh amite seipeh in.
“Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?
3 Nangma naloupina chu koija toh natekah pi tadem? Lebanon a Cedar thing phung tobang nabah hoitah tah gammang sung le thim jeng ajih lhang lah a kitung doh jenga thahat Assyria tobang nahi.
Behold, Assur is like the cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches, and full of leaves, and of high stature, and his summit has been elevated above the thick branches.
4 Twi thuhtah in sangtah le abah bompem puma akhandoh theina dinga achapnou jing jeng ahi. Akimvel jousea vadung banga alonsah a akoma thingphung dang jouse jong vadung neo hon alonkhum ahi.
The waters have nourished him. The abyss has exalted him. Its rivers have flowed around his roots, and it has sent forth its streams to all the trees of the regions.
5 Hiche thing lentah ho chu sangtah tah in akhangin, akimvella thingphung dang jouse sangin asangjoi. Ajung khona abul twi thalhin jeh chun akhangtou cheh cheh in abah ho jong saotah tah le lentah tah aphan ahi.
Because of this, his height was exalted above all the trees of the regions, and his groves were multiplied, and his own branches were elevated, because of the many waters.
6 Chungleng vachate abah lah a chun akichol ngauvin chule anoilima gamsa ho jousen anou sonan amang uve. Vannoi leisetna nam minthang jouse alim noija chun achenguve.
And when he had extended his shadow, all the birds of the air made their nests in his branches, and all the beasts of the forest conceived their young under his foliage, and an assembly of the many peoples lived under his shadow.
7 Ajung jouse twi thalhin namun thuh tah a akholut jeh chun adet in, chule ahoijin abahho saotah tah in ajamme.
And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many waters.
8 Pathen honsunga Cedar thing ho khat chan jong tet jou pontin, Cypress bah ho khat chan jong tet jou lou diu ahi. Pathen honsung a keh thingphung khat cha jong ahoina tetdin akom hung lut theiponte.
The cedars in the Paradise of God were not higher than he was. The spruce trees were not equal to his summit, and the plane trees were not equal to his fullness. No tree in the Paradise of God was similar to him or to his beauty.
9 Ajeh chu keiman hiche thingphung chu kajem hoijin ado, abah chuleh ajung jouse loupi dehsetna kapen ahi. Hiche thingphung chu Eden na Pathen honsunga thingphung dang jousen athangset piu ahije.
For I made him beautiful, and dense with many branches. And all the trees of delight, which were in the Paradise of God, were jealous of him.
10 Hijeh a chu thaneitah Pakaiyin hiche thuhi a sei ahi: Egypt chu akiletsah in chule akiloupi sah tan ajeh chu adang jouse sanga sangjo a ahung khandoh a aleh in meilhang lah aphatan ahi.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,
11 Keiman namtin vaipi lah athahat khutna kapeh doh a aman agitlou dungjuija asuhmang ding ahi. Keiman kapai dohsa ahitai.
I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.
12 Gamdang sepai namtin vaipi kichatpan asatlhah a tolla ajamden ding ahi. Abah ho jouse agamsunga chu molsang ho a le phaicham ho a chule komthuh tah tah lah a kathethang soh ding ahi. Alim noija chengho jousen adalhah sih uva chule akijamna a chu adalhah diu ahi.
And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.
13 Chunga leng vachate akungbul chunga hung kicholdo uvintin chule gamlah a gamsate abah lah a hung geh diu ahi.
All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.
14 Namtin vaipi dangho hiche thingphung akiloupi sah a akhantouna kipapi dahen. Thutah'a konin twi kichap nou jing hen lang chule alehvum in meilhang lah phajeng jong leh, ajeh chu amaho chu thia leiset noilang thuhtah'a kumsuh dinga gotna kipesa ahitai. Leiset chunga mijouse toh kokhuh sunga kilhonkhom cheh diu ahi.
For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.
15 Hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi: Assyria in lhahkhuh ajotsuh chun keiman thuhtah'a um twinah ho apul kadou sah e. Avadung katan sah in twithalhing tah chu kagotsah tai. Lebanon chu ponvom kisilpeh in chule lou jauva thingphung ho chu kagot lhah sah tai. (Sheol h7585)
Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together. (Sheol h7585)
16 Keiman namtin vaipi hi ama lhuh husan ginna chu kichatna kihot lhusoh diu ahi, ajeh chu keiman lhan khuh kasol lhah ding chule khula ana lutsa ho chutoh noimigama kaselut ding ahi. Chule Edenna thing loupitah tah ho lah a hoi chungnung pen chule Lebanonna ahoipen pen ajung thuh tah twi thalhinna muna kholut nau leiset noilam thuh a lungmonna kihol dinga lutkhom cheh diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 Apan khompi chengse jong kisumang soh a chule che mangsa ahitauve. Alim noija cheng ho jouse abonchauva lhankhuh a lutkhom cheh diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
For they, too, will descend with him into hell, to those who have been slain by the sword. And the arm of each one will reside under his shadow, in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 O Egypt, Eden honna thingphung hoiche pentah toh khun nangma thahat nale naloupina toh naki takah pi ding ham? Nangma tah jong namtin vaipi ho khu kokhuh sunga nakipo lut dingu ahi. Nangma tah jong chemjama ana kithatsa paidohsa ho chengse khu hiche munna chu nakijam khom cheh dingu ahi. Hiche hi Pharaoh leh amite dinga aumsa chu ahi, tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
To whom can you be compared, O famous and sublime one, among the trees of pleasure? Behold, you have been brought down, with the trees of pleasure, to the lowest part of the earth. You will sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who have been slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
