< Ezekiel 31 >
1 Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum somle kum khat channa Lhadou 21 nikho hin Pakaija kon hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 Mihem chapa hiche thuhi Egypt lengpa Pharaoh leh amite seipeh in.
Son of man Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — 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.
Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
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 roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto 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.
For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
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.
Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.
7 Ajung jouse twi thalhin namun thuh tah a akholut jeh chun adet in, chule ahoijin abahho saotah tah in ajamme.
Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty 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.
Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto 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.
Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
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 My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
11 Keiman namtin vaipi lah athahat khutna kapeh doh a aman agitlou dungjuija asuhmang ding ahi. Keiman kapai dohsa ahitai.
Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
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.
Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:
13 Chunga leng vachate akungbul chunga hung kicholdo uvintin chule gamlah a gamsate abah lah a hung geh diu ahi.
Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
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 the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them 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 )
Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (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 nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (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 )
Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of 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.
Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
