< Ezekiel 33 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Pakaija kon thu kisei kahenga khat ahung lhung kitne.
2 “Son of man, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
Mihem chapa, hiche thusei hi namite seipeh in: Keiman gamsung khat douna army kahin pui tengleh, hiche gamsung mite chun amaho lah a konna khongah ding khat akilhendoh diu ahi.
3 When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
Hiche khongah pa chun melma ho chu amu teng leh amite hetsahna galdah akhetding ahi.
4 So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
Hiteng chule koi tobang khat touvin galdah jana a ngaisah louva auma athitah le ama themo hiding ahi.
5 Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your life.
Amahon galdah gin ajah uva adonse louvu ahijeh a chu amaho mopohna ahi. Amahon phatecha galdah gin chu angaijuva ahileh ahinkhou akihuhhing theiju ahi.
6 But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
Ahivangin khongah pa chun melmaho chu ahung amua mipite kigin theina dinga galdah akhet louva hiche sohchan nachunga chu khongahpa mopohna hiding ahi. Amaho chu achonset nauva thiden diu ahitan, ahinlah amaho thisan phu chu khongahpa khutna kahin del ding ahi.
7 Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for me.
Mihem chapa tua hi Israel mite a ding khongah a kapansah ding nahitai. Hijeh chun kathusei ngaijin lang kei khellin gihsal tan.
8 If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
Ijemtia keiman migilou techu thitei teidiu ahitai tia kaphondoh a chule nangin amaho ahinkho kikhel dinga nasei peh da a, achonset nauva athiden tah uva ahileh amaho thisan phu chu nang khutna kahin del ding ahi.
9 But if you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
Ahivanga nangin kisih dinga nagih salla chule amaho akisih louvuva ahileh amaho chu achonset nauva thiden diu ahitai, ahinlah nangin nahinna vang nakihuhdoh ahitai.
10 Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
Mihem chapa, Israelte chu hiche thuhi seipeh in. Nanghon, kachonset nau gih tah chu kachunguva achunmang thah paiding kahi tauve, iti kahin jou nahlai dingu ham natiuve.
11 Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people of Israel?
Thaneitah Pakaiyin, keima kahing jinge tin aseije, migilou ho thijeh chun keima kakipah poi. Keiman athilsebol nauva konna akihei mang uva amaho ahin diu bou kadei ahije. O Israel mite! Nathilse bol nauva konin kihei mangun, kihei mangun, ipi bolla nathiden diu ham?
12 So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
Mihem chapa namite chu hichethu seipeh in: michonpha chu akihei manga achonset tah a ahile achonphatna chun huhhing jou pontin, ahilouva migilou chu gitlouna a konna akisih a chule achonset na a konna akiheimanga ahileh agitlouna chun sumang thei deh ponte.
13 If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
Keiman michonpha ho chu nahin diu ahi kati a, ahia lah amaho achonset khah tah a, achonphatna abolsa chengsen eihuhhing nante tin kinem jongleh achonphatna chengse khatcha jong kigeldoh kit talouva, keiman achonset kasuhmang den diu ahitai.
14 But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
Ahijeng vang'in keiman migilouho nathi teitei diu ahi tin kasei peh tajong leng hitia chu achonset nauva konna akihei manguva adihle thilpha ahin bolluva ahileh,
15 if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
Ijem tin gangtah in abat lahna a thil kitung chengse chu pedoh henlang, athilguh hou jong nung peh hen, chule hinkho a chondan ding kapeh ho juijo henlang thilse bolda jeng taleh, hitia chu ahung chonuva ahileh amaho chu hing teitei diu ahin thi chu thilou ding ahitai.
16 None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
Achonset nau masa ho avella kinung pohdoh kit louding ijeh inem itile amahon adih leh thilpha abol joh ahitan, amaho hing teitei diu ahitai.
17 However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
Namiten, Pakaiyin thilpha abolpoi, atiuvin ahinlah thilpha bollou chu amaho joh ahibouve.
18 If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
Ijeh inem itile avella kasei kit ahi, michonpha techu achonphat nauva konna akihei manguva thilse abolluva ahileh thidiu ahi.
19 On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
Hijeh chun thilse bolte chu athil bol nauva konna ahung kihei doh uva adih le thilpha abolluva ahileh hing diu ahi.
20 So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people of Israel.”
O Israel mite! Nanghon Pakaiyin thilpha abolpoi natiuvin ahinlah keiman amichang cheh natoh dungjui juva nathu katana hi.
21 On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our exile, a refugee who'd escaped from Jerusalem arrived and told me, “The city has been captured!”
Kasoh channao kum somle kum ni lhin kum Tolbol niget nin Jerusalema konna ahingdoh khat kahenga ahungin chule hitin aseije: khopi alhutai, ati.
22 The previous evening before the messenger arrived the Lord had touched me so I could speak again. This was before the man came to see me in the morning. I wasn't mute any longer—I could speak again.
Hiche masangni nilhah chun Pakaiyin eituhchah kheh in chule Pakaiyin kakam eikeh peh in kapao thei kittai. Hijeh chun ajing jingkah a amapa hunglhun phat chun kei thuseijin kaumtai.
23 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge:
24 “Son of man, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’
Mihem chapa, Judate akithe thang amoh chengse khopi lumsa a cheng hon hitin aseijuvin, Abraham chu mikhat ahijeng vang'in agam pumpi analon ahi. Keiho mitamtah kahiuvin hiche gam hi kagoulo diu mong monga eikipeu ahi atiuve.
25 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it. You go and worship your idols. You commit murder. Do you really think the country should belong to you?
Hijeh chun hiche mite hi seipeh in, hichehi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: nanghon sa athisan pumin naneuvin, nanghon milimdoi na houvun chule mona neilou ho nathat uve. Gam leiset hi nangho a dinga ngellu ham?
26 You rely on your swords to get your way. You have done some disgusting things. You're all having sex with each other's wives. Should the country belong to you?
Tolthat teho, milim doi houho, jon thanhoi bolhon gamsung hi nachan mong diu hinam?
27 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
Amaho chu seipeh in, hiche thuhi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi. Tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge, khopi gemsa a cheng ho chu chemjama kithat diu ahi, chule keiman gamsaho chu loujau chengho negam dinga kahinsol ding ahi. Kulpi kikai khum sunga le songko ho a chengse chu natna thidiu ahi.
28 I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
Keiman agam kasuhmang hella chule aloupina a kasuhset peh ding ahi. Amanu kiletsahna thahatna chu kichai ding ahitai. Israel molsang ho chu ahom keuva kijama koi machan agam chu ajotpa lou ding ahi.
29 Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
Keiman achonset nau kidah dah umho a agamu kasuhmang hel teng tah chuleh amahon keima Pakai kahi ti ahetdoh diu ahi.
30 Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message from the Lord!’
Mihem chapa, namite ainsunguvah nangma chungchang akihou limuvin chule akotphung hou vah guh thimin akihoulim uve. Amaho khat leh khat akihouvun, hungun themgaopa koma cheu hitin Pakai thusei gangaiju hite atiuve.
31 So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
Hijeh chun kamite chu lungtheng tah bangin ahungun chule nama sangah atou uve. Nathusei angai uvin ahin nathusei nahsah in anei pouvin bolding jong ago pouve. Akamsungu jonthanhoi thu jeng adimin chule alung thimuvin sum jeng aholluve.
32 In fact, to them you're just someone who sings love songs with a lovely voice and who is a fine musician. They listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it.
Nanghi amaho ding nopsah pi thei tah nahi. Koitobang joldeila aw ngeitah tah sa a ahilouleh tumging thei ngeitah tah saiho toh nabange. Nathusei angaijuvin amahon abol pouve.
33 So when what you say does happen (and it will), then they will realize that they did have a prophet among them.”
Ahivnagin hiche tijat umtah thilho achung'uva ahung lhun tengleh hiche hi hung guilhung tei ding ahi. Hiteng tah chule amahon alah uva themgao aume ti ahetdoh diu ahi.
