Ezekiel 19
1 And thou, —do thou lift up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Hothloilah, Isarel khobawinaw hanlah kalung na sak pouh hane teh,
2 And say, What a noble lioness was thy mother! among lions did she lie down, in the midst of young lions did she raise her whelps!
Na manu teh api nama, Sendek napui doeh, a canaw kawkhik laihoi Sendekcanaw koe a tabo.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to tear in pieces the prey; [even] men he devoured.
A kawkhik e a ca buet touh teh sendektan lah ao teh, kahrawngum e moithangnaw kei hanelah na taminaw hai ouk a kei.
4 And when nations heard of him, he was caught in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings unto the land of Egypt.
Miphunnaw ni a thai awh teh, kadungpoung e tangkom dawk a pabo awh, sum hoi a taren awh teh, Izip ram dawk a phakhai.
5 Now when she saw that she had long waited, [that] her hope was lost, she took another one of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
A manu ni lungpout laipalah ayawmyin lah a ring, bout a sak, sendektanca lah o nahanlah,
6 And he went up and down in the midst of lions, he became a young lion; and he learned to tear in pieces the prey; even men he devoured.
Sendektancanaw koe pou ka paitun e sendektanca lah ao dawkvah, moi kei nahanelah a kamtu teh na taminaw hah a kei.
7 And he broke down their palaces, and their cities laid he in ruins: and then was terrified the land, with all that filled it, because of the noise of his roaring.
Ahnimae moi kamenaw hah a panue teh, ahnimae khopuinaw be a raphoe pouh, a huknae pawlawk dawk ram hoi tami pueng teh kingdi awh.
8 Then set themselves the nations against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread over him their net: in their pit was he caught.
Miphunnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, ram pueng ni a tuk awh. Tamlawk rui hoi a kalup awh. Kadungpoung e tangkom dawkvah, a pabo awh.
9 And they put him in a cage with nose-rings [in his nose], and they brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into strong-holds, in order that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
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.
10 Thy mother was like a vine, if I compare thee to aught, planted by the waters: fruitful and full of boughs was she by reason of many waters.
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.
11 And she had strong branches [fit] for the sceptres of rulers, and her stature grew up high between the thick-branched [trees], and she was seen through her height by means of the multitude of her tendrils.
Kaukkungnaw hane sonron hanelah ka khaw e a kangnaw lah a coung. Abu a rung teh a kang a rasang teh a kamnue.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, to the ground was she cast down, and the east wind dried up her fruit: and torn off and dried up were her strong branches, a fire consumed them.
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.
13 And now is she planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Atu teh, tui a ohoehnae ka ke e kahrawngum vah ung e lah ao toe.
14 And fire is gone out of a branch of her boughs, and hath devoured her fruit, so that there is no more on her a strong branch for a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and it is become a lamentation.
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.
