< Ezekiel 8 >

1 Jehoiachin lengpa sohchan kal kumgup lhin kum, lhalam som le sagi nikhon Juda lamkai ho kain a ana um pet un thaneitah Pakai chun eina tuhchah e.
In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.
2 Mihem put tobang pu gongso khat kamui, kathilmu pa kongbuh noilam chu akilangin, amapa chu meikong toh abange. Akongbuh a pat achunglang chu khisong valla val meikou ol a kimu jap jap bangin akimui.
Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.
3 Amapa chunk hut toh kilou khat ahin lhang doh in kasamin eihin manne. Hichun lhagaovin vanthamjol lang gei eidom tou tan, chuleh Pathen a konna thilmu nei dingin Jerusalem ah ei thah tan ahi. Hichun keima houin leitol sahlang kelkot sunga chun eipuije, hiche mun chu nasatah a Pakai alungnat sah milim loi lentah umna mun chu ahi.
He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
4 Phulou helouvin phat masa laiya phaichama kana musa Israel Pathen loupina ana um'in ahi.
And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.
5 Hichun Pakaiyin kajah a aseije, “Mihem chapa sahlang sang khu ven” atin hijeh chun keiman kaven ahileh sahlang sang kelkot gah lutna pama maicham koma chun Pakai nasatah ana lunghan sah milim doi kitung chu ana dinge.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.
6 “Mihem chapa,” ahin tin, “Ipi abulu namu tah em? Ka houin a konna kei nodohna dinga kidah umtah chonsetna abol'u khu namu tah em? Ahin kahungin nangin hiche ho sanga kidah umjo chonsetna tamtah namube ding ahi.”
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
7 Hichun aman banghoma konna asunglang kimu theina houin leitol kotphunga chun eipuilut e.
Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 Aman kakoma aseijin “Tun mihem chapa, bang khu lai vang'in,” eiti. Hijeh chun keiman bang chu kalai vang'in ahileh lampi kiselguh chu kamutai.
“Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.
9 “Lut in,” ati. “Chuleh gitlouna leh chonsetna abol'u khu ven,” eiti.
Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”
10 Hijeh chun kalut tan ahileh, bang dunga ganhing kitholtho ho lim leh kidah dah um thimsem ho lim khet thi a kisem ho chu kamutai. Israel mipiten ahouvu milim doi jatchom chom ho jong chu keiman kamudoh tai.
So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.
11 Israel lamkai som sagi ho chutoh alai juva Shaphan chapa Jaajaniah adin jong kamudoh tai, amaho khat cheh chun gim namtwi hal bom chu akichoijun, hichea kon chun gim namtwi kihalna meikhu meilom tobang chu aluchung uva ahung kitom jenjun jenge.
Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
12 Hichun Pakaiyin kahenga hin ahinseije, “Mihem chapa pindan thim sung khu Israel lamkai hon ipi abol'u ahi namu khah tah em? Pakaiyin igam u adalhah sa ahitah jeh in eimu pouvinte,” tin amahon asei uve.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”
13 Hichun Pakaiyin aseiben “Hungin chule keiman hiche ho sanga tamjo kidah dah umjo ho chu navetsah inge.”
Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”
14 Aman Pakai houin sahlang kelkot a chun eipuijin, hiche a chun numei themkhat ana tou uvin, a pathen u Tammuz chu ana kauve.
Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.
15 “Hiche hi namu hitam” tin aman eidonge. “Ahinlah hiche ho sanga tamjo kidah dah um chonsetna ho navetsah inge” ati.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
16 Hichun aman Pakai houin leitol sungnung a chun eipuilut e. pindan sung nung lutna leh sum eng maicham kikah a muntheng phung lutna a chun upa somni le nga tobang Pakai muntheng lam nung ngat in ading uve. Amaho chun solam angauvin, nisa hou nan tol ah abohkhup uve.
So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
17 “Mihem chapa, hiche hohi namu khah tah em? tin aman eidonge. Hitobanga kidah umtah chonsetna abol uhi Juda mite dinga imalou thema angaito u ham? Hiche hin anam pumpiuva thaguma kino tona a apui uva, nahko hom leng lunga eivet uva chuleh eiphin lunghang bebe jeng ding ham?
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
18 Hiti ahijeh a chu kalung hanna kadonbut diu, khatcha jong kahing hoi lou ding, chuleh keiman kalungthim a jong, kalainat pilou hel ding ahi. Chuleh kahepina diuvin hung kap jong leu keiman kangaipeh louhel diu ahi.”
Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”
