< Ezekiel 31 >
1 Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum somle kum khat channa Lhadou 21 nikho hin Pakaija kon hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Mihem chapa hiche thuhi Egypt lengpa Pharaoh leh amite seipeh in.
Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To whom art thou like in thy 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, the Assyrian was a cedar upon Lebanon, with fair branches; An overshadowing thicket, high of stature; And his top was among thick boughs.
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 made him great; the deep waters made him high; Their streams went around their plantation, And sent forth their channels to all the trees of the field.
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.
Therefore his height was exalted Above all the trees of the field. And his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, Because of the abundance of water when he shot forth.
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.
In his boughs all the birds of heaven made their nests, And under his branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
7 Ajung jouse twi thalhin namun thuh tah a akholut jeh chun adet in, chule ahoijin abahho saotah tah in ajamme.
Thus was he beautiful in his greatness, in the length of his branches; For his root was by 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 garden of God could not hide him; The cypress-trees were not like his boughs, And the plane-trees were not like his branches. Not any tree in the garden of God Was like to him in 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.
I made him beautiful in the multitude of his branches, So that all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, envied 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because he lifted himself up in stature, And shot up his top among the thick boughs, And his heart was lifted up on account of his height,
11 Keiman namtin vaipi lah athahat khutna kapeh doh a aman agitlou dungjuija asuhmang ding ahi. Keiman kapai dohsa ahitai.
Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, To deal hardly with him; I drave him out for his wickedness;
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 strangers, the terrible of the nations, cut him off and cast him away. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches fell; And his boughs were broken in all the valleys of the land. And all the nations of the earth withdrew from his shadow and left him;
13 Chunga leng vachate akungbul chunga hung kicholdo uvintin chule gamlah a gamsate abah lah a hung geh diu ahi.
Upon his ruin dwelt all the birds of the heavens, And upon his branches were all the beasts of the forest.
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.
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters Might exalt themselves for their stature, Nor shoot up their top among the thick boughs, And that none of the trees that drink water should cleave to them on account of their height; For all of them are delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To them that have gone down to 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 )
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to the grave, I caused the deep to mourn, I covered it for him; I restrained on account of him the streams, and the great waters were kept back; And I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, And all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
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 )
At the sound of his fall I made the nations to shake, When I cast him down to the grave, To them that have gone down to the pit; And all the trees of Eden, The choice and best of Lebanon, Even all that drink water, Were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol )
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 )
They also went down into the grave with him, To them that have been slain with the sword; They also that were his arm, That dwelt under his shadow among the nations. (Sheol )
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 art thou thus like in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? Thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden To the lower parts of the earth; Thou shalt lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall it be with Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
