< Ezekiel 1 >
1 Juda mi Babylon gam Chebar vadung pang a sohchang ho lah a kana umna kum somle kumthum alhin kum July 31 lhinni achun van ana kihongin chule Pathen thilmu theina chu kana mui.
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2 Hiche hi Jehoiachin lengpa asohchan jou kal kum nga lhin kuma chu soh ahi.
On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
3 (Pakaiyin hiche thuhi Buzi chapa Ezekiel thempupa kom a Babylon lenggam Chebar vadung panga aum petna anapeh ahin, chule Pakai khut chu achungah ana kingame)
The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Bud in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
4 Keiman kavet pettah chun Sahlam a kon huipi gopi nasatah ahung kitol kamun, Meilhang lentah masanga kolphe toh kitho a vah pempumin ahunge. Meilom lah a chun meikou aumin, chule meikou lailunga chun khichang tobang meikou vahlap lap aume.
And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:
5 Meilom lailunga kon chun mihem melput tobang thil hing thei li ahung doh e.
And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.
6 Maili leh lhaving li aneiyu tailouvin,
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
7 Akeng hou chu ajangpet in, akengphangu chu bongnou keng to abangin alange.
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.
8 Alhaving li noicheh a chun mihem ho khut kamu doh e.
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides,
9 Ahingthei ho lhaving ho chu khat le khat akijop jel cheh in ahi. Khat cheh a chu akipat doh teng leh kihei louvin jangpet in masang lam ngan akijot jiuve.
And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.
10 Amasang uva chun mihem mai aneiyun, ajetlang uva chun keipi mai aneiyun, aveilang uva chun bongchal mai aneiyun, chule anung lam uva chun muvanlai mai anei cheh uve.
And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
11 Khat cheh chun lhaving kijal doh kopni cheh aneiyun, kopn khat cheh chu akijal doh teng ganhing achom khat cheh lhaving chutoh akijop mat jel jengin, chule kop khat cheh chun atahsao akhu chah kheh cheh un ahi.
And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
12 Amaho chu ipi hijongle lhagaovin alhenpeh nalam ngan ajet aveija kiheidoh lou hellin jangpet in ache pai jeng jiuve.
And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went.
13 Ganhing liho chu meihol ampem puma kou abangin, ahilouleh meisel lou vah pempum kide abangin, chule kolphe vah bangin amaho lah a chun aki nungtol akima tollun ahi.
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.
14 Chule ganhing liho chu kolphe vahlap lap bang khun achom le jap jap jeng uvin ahi.
And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
15 Hitia keiman ganhing liho chu kavetna ahileh leiset chunga chun kangtalai kang ho chu akomuva chun kamun kang khat cheh chu amaho khat cheh a achandiu chu ahi.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
16 Kangtalai khat cheh chu hoitah a vahsetna song en tobanga kisemin akimun, liho chu abpn uvin kibang cheh akimun, chule amaho chu kibang cheh a kisem ahiuvin kang khat cheh velkol a chu kangni na aneicheh uve.
And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17 Hiche ho chu akitol tengule kihei lou hella gamkai li a achu angat na lam lama chu kihei jeng thei ahiuve.
When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
18 Hiche kang li ho chu sang tah cheh ahiuvin, chule timul tho aumin, chule akang ho kimvel a chun met jeng mit jeng in atom dimsetne.
The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.
19 Ganhing ho chu ache tenguleh kangtalai kang ho jong chu amaho toh thakhat'in achekhom jiuvin, chung langa alen tou teng uleh akang ho jong chu ache tou jiuve.
And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.
20 Ganhing ho lhagao chu akang ho a chu uma ahi. Hijeh a chu lhagao chena lam lama chu akang ho le ganhing ho jong che jiu ahi.
Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21 Hiche ho chu ache teng uleh akang ho chu che jiu ahin, hiche ho chu adin teng uleh akang ho kinga ji ahi. Hiche ho chu chung langa alen tou tengu leh akanga chu ganhing ho lhagao uma ahijeh chun akang ho chu akipat doh jiuvin ahi.
When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 Aluvum uva kijal doh chu vanthamjol tobang khat akidalin songvalset vah'in avahsetne.
And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.
23 Anoija chun ganhing ho lhavingu chu khat leh khat kijop cheh in akijal doh in chule alhaving ni chun atahsau khat cheh chu akhun ahi.
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.
24 Alen teng ule alhaving ho gin husau chu keima jah in twitam tah in twipang hattah a atagin ahiloule Hatchungung ogin ahiloule, sepai hon tamtah husa gin bangin kajan ahi. Adin teng uleh alhaving u chu akhailha jiuve.
And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.
25 Alhaving u akhailhah uva adin teng uleh vanthamjol tobang valset chunga kon chun o khat in thu ahin seijin ahi.
For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
26 Achung vum'a chun songval duma kisem laltouna tobang khat akimun ahi. Chule hiche laltouna sangtah chunga kitousah pachu mihem lim leh melput tobang ahi.
And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 Akongbuh akipat akilah dan chu khichang vala meikou olla kimujap bangin akimun ahi. Chule akongbuh noilamse chu meikou tobang'in akimvel vah pempum bangin akimun ahi.
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.
28 Gojuh nikho a meilah a lhagui kimu bang khun avah pempum in ahi. Hiche hi Pakai loupina keiman kamu abangin, keiman hichehi kamu phat in kamai tollah kasulut in ahileh ogin khat in keima koma ogin kkhat anasei chu kajan ahi.
As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
