Ezekiel 15
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
Hiti hin kahenga Pakaija kon in thukhat ahung lhunge.
2 “You human, the wood of a grapevine is certainly not [RHQ] more useful that the branches of the trees in a 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 No one [RHQ] ever takes a branch of a grapevine and makes anything [useful] from it. No one [RHQ] even makes pegs from them to hang things on.
Hiche lengpigui thing chu thilkeuva kisem theija belho leh haipeh ho khaina kisem thei ding hinam?
4 And after a branch of a grapevine is thrown into a fire, and the fire burns both ends and chars/scorches the branch in the middle, will it then be useful for anything?
Ahipoi, tiding thing in bou akimangjin, hiche jeng jong chu bailam tah in acajou loichel jin ahi.
5 No; if it was not useful for anything before it was burned, it certainly cannot [made into something] useful after the fire has burned and charred it.
Lengpigui chu meiya akiti masang hihen, akiti jou hijongleh pannabei ahibouve.
6 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: The wood of grapevines is useful only for fuel in a fire. Similarly, the people who live in [are useless].
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 I will reject [IDM] them. [It will be as though] they have escaped from a fire, but there will still be a fire that will burn them up. And when I punish [EUP] them, you [people who remain alive] will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
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 I will cause your country to become a wasteland because your people have not been loyal [to me. That is what I], Yahweh, the Lord, say.”
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.
