< 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 shall become of the wood of the vine more than of any other wood, of the branch which was standing 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 Can wood be taken therefrom to employ it for any work? or will men take from it a pin to hang thereon any vessel?
Hiche lengpigui thing chu thilkeuva kisem theija belho leh haipeh ho khaina kisem thei ding hinam?
4 Behold, if it be given up to the fire to be consumed, —[and] the fire have consumed both its ends, and the middle of it be scorched; will it be fit 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 yet entire, it could not be employed for any work: how much more [must this be] when the fire hath consumed it, and it is scorched, —and shall it yet be employed for any work?
Lengpigui chu meiya akiti masang hihen, akiti jou hijongleh pannabei ahibouve.
6 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed: so do I give up 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: from the fire have they gone forth, yet the fire shall devour them; and ye 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 render the land a desert; because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Eternal.
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.
