< Ezekiel 31 >
1 Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum somle kum khat channa Lhadou 21 nikho hin Pakaija kon hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Mihem chapa hiche thuhi Egypt lengpa Pharaoh leh amite seipeh in.
“Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like 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, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, of high stature; and its top was amongst the 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 nourished it. The deep made it to grow. Its rivers ran all around its plantation. It sent out its 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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied. Its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it spread them out.
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.
All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs. Under its branches, all the animals of the field gave birth to their young. All great nations lived under its shadow.
7 Ajung jouse twi thalhin namun thuh tah a akholut jeh chun adet in, chule ahoijin abahho saotah tah in ajamme.
Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its 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 it. The cypress trees were not like its branches. The pine trees were not like its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its 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 it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.’
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 said the Lord GOD: ‘Because he is exalted in stature, and he has set his top amongst the thick branches, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
11 Keiman namtin vaipi lah athahat khutna kapeh doh a aman agitlou dungjuija asuhmang ding ahi. Keiman kapai dohsa ahitai.
I will deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him. I have driven 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.
Foreigners, the tyrants of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left 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 sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on 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.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top amongst the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, amongst the children of men, with those who go 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 )
“The Lord GOD says: ‘In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning. I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers. The great waters were stopped. 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 )
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit. All the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, 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 Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who lived under his shadow in the middle 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.
“‘To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness amongst the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth. You will lie in the middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. “‘This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord GOD.”
