Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Hiti hin kahenga Pakaija kon in thukhat ahung lhunge.

2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

“Mihem chapa, lengpigui chu thingphung toh iti kitekah thei ding ham? Lengpi gui hi thingphung tahbeh man bang banga kimang thei ding hinam?

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

Hiche lengpigui thing chu thilkeuva kisem theija belho leh haipeh ho khaina kisem thei ding hinam?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?

Ahipoi, tiding thing in bou akimangjin, hiche jeng jong chu bailam tah in acajou loichel jin ahi.

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?

Lengpigui chu meiya akiti masang hihen, akiti jou hijongleh pannabei ahibouve.

6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Chule hiche hi thanei tah Pakai thusei ahi. Jerusalem mite chu gammang thingphung lah a keh langpigui tobangbep bou ahiuve. Pannabei ahiuva kipatna chu keiman akavam dinga meilah a kalelut dingu ahi.

7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and all of you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.

Keiman meilah a kon in sohcha jong leu meikou dangkhat lah a lhalut kit thou thou ding ahi. Keiman amaho douna kaki hei teng, nangin keima hi Pakai kahi chu nahet doh ding ahi.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord GOD.

Kamite hi keija dinga tahsan umlou ahi jeh uva gamsung chu mihem chenna lou gam'a kasem ding tia,” keima thanei tah Pakaiyin kasei ahi.
