Ezekiel 19
1 “As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel
Hiche thi lhahna la a hi Israel leng chapate dingin sah peh in.
2 and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.
Nanu chu ipi ham? Keipi ho lah a keipi api chu ahi. Keipi lagol ho lah a luma chuleh anoute akivah ahi.
3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
Keipi chun anoute lah a khat chu avah khangin ahatdoh sahtai. Amapa chun sadel je leh anehje akihil in, chute chun mihem nen ahung pang tai.
4 When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.
Hichun namtin in amapa thu chu aja tauve. Chuleh amapa chu leiko hom thanga chun aman tauve. Amapa chu thihkol abupeh uvin Egypt gam langa akai tauve.
5 When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
Keipi nun hichu amau phat amapa dinga amanu kinepna jouse chu abeitai. Amanun anou dang khat chu alan, keipi gol thahattah in avahdoh tai.
6 He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
Keipi dangho lah a akithol lelen amaho lah a chun thahattah in ahung dingdoh tai. Amapa chun sadel je leh sahing nehje akithem chuh in chule ama jong mihem nen ahung paitai.
7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring.
Aman khopi kulpi ho asusen, chuleh khopi neoho leh khopi lenho asumang in alou hou jong mi chen louna aso peh in chuleh achang hou jong asuhmang peh tai. Amahon ahung kisen ajah tengule agamsung leh amipiho kichat in akithing jiuve.
8 Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.
Hichun namtin vaipi a kon sepaihon ahin buluvin, akimvel jouse ah aum khum, a len u asekhumun chuleh len ho a chun aman tauve.
9 With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
Thihkol pumin bom sunga akai lut un chuleh Babylon lengpa masangah ahin polut tauve. Songkul'ah ahen chah kheh uvin, hijeh chun Israel molsang ho chunga chun a Ogin akinung jah kit tapoi.
10 Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.
Nanu chu twi panga kiphut lengpigui tobang ahi. Twi thalhin set jeh a phoi keh dimsetna thingphung ado eng jing jenga ahi.
11 It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick branches, conspicuous for its height and for its dense foliage.
Abah ho jong ahung hatdoh tan, leng tenggol a pang thei ahitai. Adangho jouse sangin ahng sang doh tai. Sangtah in ahung dingdoh in chuleh abah tamtah ahin sepdoh e.
12 But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
Ahinlah lengpigui chu lunghan jeh in akibot doh in tollah akiseplha tan ahi. Nelgam huijin agaho amutgo gamtan chuleh abah lhou tah tah ho jong chu akisat lhagam tai. Hijeh chun agoplha tan chuleh meiyin ahal mang tauve.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Tun lengpigui chu gamthip lah a toltah leh tolgo lah a chun aphut chon tauvin ahi.
14 Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”
Abah ho lah a kon chun mei ahung kong doh in, agaho akavam gam tai. Abah akamoh chengse chu vaihompa tenggol thei dingin jong ahatdoh jou tapoi. Hiche hi thi lhahna la ahin, chule thina a kimang ding ahi.”
