< Ezekiel 17 >
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Hiti chun kahenga Pakai thusei hiche hi ahung lhunge.
2 "Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
“Mihem chapa, hiche thuchih hi pen lang, Israel mipi techu hiche thusim hi seipeh in.
3 and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
Thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi pen: ‘Muvanlai lentah khat alhaving teni jong lent ah le amul jong sao tah, amul ho pahbet na kitom khat Lebanon lama ahungin Cedar thing leh vum'a ahung touve.
4 he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
Chuleh abah asang pen tah chu alou lhan kivei miho chenna khopi khatna apomang tai. Kivei miho chenna khopi a chun aphut tai.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.
Aman hiche gam'a kon chun muchi ho chu apon chule leiphatna laikhatna agatun ahi. Thingnem banga akhan theina dingin vadung len panga atun ahi.
6 It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Hilaimun nahun ajung akho lut in, lengpigui nem cha bangin akhang dohtai. Abahho chu muvanlai lam ngan ahung khang doh in, chule ajung ho chu tolla chun akhang lut peh tai. Abah lhou tah tah ahin sep doh in ana ahung nou tai.
7 '"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and look, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
Ahinla muvanlai lentah a chomkhat alhaving lentah leh amul dimsetna pol khat ahunge. Hijeh chun lengpigui chu twi ngaichat najeh chun tun vang ajung ho leh abah ho jouse chu amalam ngan ahung jamdoh tauve.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."'
Twi ninglhin namun leh lei phatna munna kiphut ahijeng vang chun, hijeh chun lengpiphung loupi tah khat in ahung khangdoh in chule ana thalhingset leh thei namtwi tah tah ahin sep doh tan ahi.
9 "Say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? And not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.
Hijeh chun tun thaneitah Pakai chun adong tai. Hiche lengpi phung hi khang touva chule phatou cheh cheh ding hinam? Ahipoi keiman ajung le adangho kabodoh a, atheiga ho kasat lhah gam ding, chule ana ho goplha a thidiu ahin, ban thahattah le sepai tamtah jaulouva bailam tah a kabodoh ding ahi.
10 Yes, look, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew."'"
Ahin lengpi phung chu akiphu chon teng leh ahing thei nadem? Ahipoi, goplha ding ahitai. Solam huijin ahinsem teng hoitah a akhan dohna mun chu leiphatah namun hijongleh thiden tante.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Hichun kahenga Pakaija konin hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
12 "Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Tell them, 'Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon:
Hiche doumah bol Israel koma seipeh in. Hiche muvanlai thuchih kisei hi nahet doh theilouvu ham? Babylon lengpa hi Jerusalem a hungin tin, amanu lengpa le leng chapate manin tin Babylon a atolmang diu ahi.
13 and he took of the royal family, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;
Aman leng insung mite toh kitepna semin tin chule thahat sanin tahsan umtah kihahselna neipinte. Aman gamsung a lamkai luboh pen pen ho jong galhinga kaimang tante.
14 that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
Hijeh a chu Israel chu hung hatdoh kit talou ding chule kile thuh jou talou ding ahitai. Babylon te toh akitepnau vin bou ahinso diu ahitai.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Israel leng insung pasal hon Babylon douna gal bol dingin Egypt gam'a Pakai sollin sepai tamtah le sakol ho thum jongleu galbol dingin kipatdoh jou kit tapouvinte. Hitia chu Israel in akitepna asuh keh a chemang jeng thei ding ham?
16 "'As I live,' says the LORD, 'surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Ahipoi tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Akitepna donse louva asuhkeh peh leng vaipo tung doh pa Babylon gamsunga chu Israel lengpa thiden ding ahitai.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.
Pharaoh leh sepai thahattah ho jong Israelte Babylon in Avella galhinga ahin kaija mi tamtah hinkho ahin suhmang dinga konin huhdoh jou pouvin te.
18 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and look, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.'
Ajeh chu Israel lengpan kitepna anot thapma chule akihahsel jou nunga asuhkeh kit jeh a sohcha louhel ding ahi.
19 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.
Hiche jeh a chu thaneitah Pakai thusei chu hiche hi ahi. Thabeh mongin keima kahinge. Kamma kitah tah a akihahselna leh akitepna ho asuhkeh jeh a keiman ka engbol ding ahi.
20 I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Keiman kalen achunga kakhukhuma, kathanga kamat ding ahi. Babylonna kapuilutna keidouna agalmi ho kithopia apanjeh a athu katandiing ahi.
21 All the choice men among all his troups will fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.'
Chule agal hangsan phapen pen ho jong kidouna munna kithat den diu ahin, ahing doh ho jong hui ninglia kithe thang soh diu ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangin keima Pakaiyin kasei hi nahin hetdoh ding ahi.
22 "Thus says the LORD: 'I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:
Hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Cedar thingphung sang tah khat a konna abah khat kalah a chule Israel molsang pen laitah chunga kaphu dong ahi.
23 in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.
Hiche chu Cedar thing loupi tah, abah tamtah hin sep doh a, ga ahin sep doh dng ahi. Vacha jat chom chom in buh hin san tin, abah ho lim noija chu kiselna a ahin neidingu ahi.
24 All the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.'"
Chuleh thingphung jousen thingphung sang jouse kasatlhah a thingphung nem ho chu sangtah'a kakhandoh sah a, chuti chu Pakai kahi ti ahetsoh kei diu ahi. Thing ana eng jouse goplhah sah a athiho thah hin sah kit chu keibol ahi tin Pakai keiman kana sei ahin, chule kasei doh sa chu kabol doh ding ahi ati.
