Ezekiel 19
1 Hothloilah, Isarel khobawinaw hanlah kalung na sak pouh hane teh,
Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Na manu teh api nama, Sendek napui doeh, a canaw kawkhik laihoi Sendekcanaw koe a tabo.
and say: —How lay thy mother at ease, a lioness among lions! Among young lions she nourished her whelps;
3 A kawkhik e a ca buet touh teh sendektan lah ao teh, kahrawngum e moithangnaw kei hanelah na taminaw hai ouk a kei.
And she brought up one of her whelps; He became a young lion, And he learned to seize the prey; he devoured men.
4 Miphunnaw ni a thai awh teh, kadungpoung e tangkom dawk a pabo awh, sum hoi a taren awh teh, Izip ram dawk a phakhai.
And when the nations heard of him, he was taken in their pit, And they brought him with nose-rings to the land of Egypt.
5 A manu ni lungpout laipalah ayawmyin lah a ring, bout a sak, sendektanca lah o nahanlah,
And when she saw that she waited in vain, and that her hope was lost, She took another of her whelps, and she made him a young lion.
6 Sendektancanaw koe pou ka paitun e sendektanca lah ao dawkvah, moi kei nahanelah a kamtu teh na taminaw hah a kei.
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, And he learned to seize the prey; he devoured men.
7 Ahnimae moi kamenaw hah a panue teh, ahnimae khopuinaw be a raphoe pouh, a huknae pawlawk dawk ram hoi tami pueng teh kingdi awh.
He knew their widows, and laid waste their cities, And the land was desolate, and all that was therein, before the voice of his roaring.
8 Miphunnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, ram pueng ni a tuk awh. Tamlawk rui hoi a kalup awh. Kadungpoung e tangkom dawkvah, a pabo awh.
Then the nations set themselves against him on every side from the provinces, And spread their net over him; He was taken in their pit.
9 Sumrui hoi a pâkhi awh teh, Babilon siangpahrang koe a thokhai awh. Ahnie a pawlawk teh, Isarel mon dawk bout a cai hoeh nahan, paungnae im dawk a hruek awh.
And they put him with nose rings into a cage, And carried him to the king of Babylon. And they carried him to a stronghold, That his voice might be heard no more Upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Nange na manu teh nang hoi na kâvan teh tui teng ung e misurkung patetlah ao. Tui apap dawkvah abu a rung teh a paw moikapap a paw.
Thy mother was like a vine planted like thyself by the waters; She was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters;
11 Kaukkungnaw hane sonron hanelah ka khaw e a kangnaw lah a coung. Abu a rung teh a kang a rasang teh a kamnue.
She had strong rods for sceptres of rulers, And her stature was high among the thick branches, So that she was conspicuous in her height, And the multitude of her branches.
12 Hatei, lungkhueknae bahu hoi a khoe teh, talai dawk ka rawm e lah ao toe. Kanîtholae kahlî ni a palek teh a paw kung a ke sak. Hmaipalai hoi kak sak e lah ao toe.
But she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried up her fruit. Her strong rods were broken and withered; The fire consumed them.
13 Atu teh, tui a ohoehnae ka ke e kahrawngum vah ung e lah ao toe.
And now she is planted in the desert, In a dry and thirsty land.
14 A kang dawk hoi hmaipalai a tâco teh, koung a kuet, a pawnaw pueng be a ca toe. A kang awm hoeh toe. Kaukkungnaw e sonron hanelah, hetheh kalungla doeh, khuinae koe hno hane doeh.
And a fire is gone forth out of a rod of her branches, Which hath devoured her fruit, So that she hath no strong rod for a ruler's sceptre. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
