Ezekiel 20
1 Almost seven years [King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been captured and taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the fifth [of that year], some Israeli elders came to me to [if I had a message for them] from Yahweh.
Lengpa Jehoiachin sohchan kal kum sagi lhin kum August 14 nin, Israel lamkai ho phabep Pakaija kon thuseidoh nomin ahung uve. Amaho chu kamasanga atouvun adonbutna angah uve.
2 Then Yahweh gave me a message. [He said, ]
Hichun Pakaija konin hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge.
3 “You human, speak to the Israeli elders and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [say that] you have come to ask if there is any message from me [RHQ], but [as surely] as I am alive, I will [answer you if] you ask [to tell you] anything.’
“Mihem chapa, hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. ‘Nanghon iti dana keima thu neidoh ngammjeng uham? Keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Keiman nangho ima seipeh pouvinge’ tin Israel lamkai ho seipeh tan.
4 If you are [RHQ] willing to warn them, remind them of the detestable things that their ancestors did.
Mihem chapa, amaho dounan achungchang thu kisutna chu hin podoh in lang amaho chu themmo chan temin. Apu apateu kidah um umtah'a achonset nau khu geldohsah in.
5 Then say to them, ‘On the day that I chose [you] Israeli [to belong to me], with my hand lifted up, I made a solemn promise to your [while they were still] in Egypt. I said to them, “I am Yahweh, your God.
Pakaija kon hiche thu kisei hi amaho chu seipeh in. Keiman Israel kana lhen chun Egypt gam'a um Jacob chilhah ho koma keimatah kana kilah in, keima Pakai hi a Pathen u kahi ding ahi tin kitah tah in kihahsel in kana neije.
6 I will bring you out of Egypt and lead you to a land that I have chosen for you. It is a very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
Hiche nikho mama chun keiman kitah tah in kaki hahsel in, keiman amaho chu Egypt gam'a konna kahin puidoh a amaho dinga kamudoh a kahetdoh nag am phapen, khoiju leh bongnoi lonna gam'a kapuilut ding ahi.
7 Each of you must get rid of the disgusting idols that you loved [IDM], and do not defile yourselves [worshiping] those [that you saw] in Egypt. I, Yahweh your God, [am saying this to you].”’
Hichun keiman amaho koma kaseijin, nangho amichan cheh in nalung sungu lodimset kidah umtah milima kon chun hung potdoh'un. Egypt mite milim doi semthu a chun kisuboh hih un. Ajeh chu keima na Pathen u kahi.
8 But they rebelled against me. They would not pay attention to me. They did not get rid of the disgusting idols they loved, and they did not reject those [that they saw] in Egypt. So because I was angry with them, I said that I would punish [MTY] them in Egypt.
Ahinlah amaho kei dounan, doumah mah abol'un, kathu angai pouve. Alungsungu lodimset kidah dah um, chonsetna konna ahung kiheidoh uva, ahilouleh Egypt mite doilim semthu ho ahin dalha pouve. Hichun keiman kalung hanna suhbulhit nadinga kalungsatna nachung uva twisun a kasun lhah khum diu ahi tin kagih sal e.
9 But for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something in order that I would not be dishonored by the people of the nations who would see it when I brought my people out of Egypt.
Ahinlah ja umtah kamin huhdoh nadingin kaseisa chu kabol tapoi. Egypt gam'a kipatna Israel te kahin puidoh laiya namtin vaipi keima tah akimvel uva chengho mitmua kana kiphonna min chu jaum leh jachatna aum ding chu kana phal poi.
10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert.
Hijeh chun keiman Egypt gam'a kipat in amaho chu gamthip noija kahin puidoh in,
11 I gave them [all] my laws and decrees [DOU], in order that they would obey them, and as a result they would live [for a long time].
Hiche munna chun keiman kathupeh leh kachondan ho ahin theina dinguva achinghoi diuvin kanapen,
12 Also, I established the Sabbath/rest days to be a symbol between us to show that I, Yahweh, had caused them to be set [from the other nations].
Chule amaho leh keima kikah kiguijop nading kacholngah nikho kanapen ahi. Keima a Pakaiju kahi a chuleh athenga aumdohna ding uva ana chomkhen pa kahi chu ahet jing theina ding uva kana peh ahi.
13 But the Israeli people rebelled against me in the desert. They did not obey my commands [DOU]; they rejected them, even though they tell people who obey them that they will live [for a long time], and they profaned the Sabbath days. So I said that I would get rid of them in the desert, and that would show that I was very angry with them.
Ahivangin Israel miten keidou nan doumah mah abol uvin, chuleh gamthip noija chun kathupeh ho ajui nom pouve. Seingaina chun chenna apeh diu vang chun kachon dan ho juinom deh pouvin te. Kacholngah nikho jong asukeh uve. Hijeh chun kalunsatna sunlhah khum jeng din kana gihsal in, chuleh gamthip laiya chu suhmang hel jeng ding hitam tin kana gonge.
14 But [again], for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something else in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen me bring my people out of Egypt.
Ahivangin Israelte Egypt gam'a kipatna kathahatna kahin puidoh anamu namtin vaipiho masanga kamin kijabol huhdoh nadingin, kanung tahdoh kit tai.
15 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would not take them into the land that [had promised to] give them, a land that was very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
Ahinlah gamthip noija chun amaho dounan kihahselna dihtah kaneijin, keiman peh dinga kagotna khoiju leh bongnoi lonna gamsung leiset chunga gamhoi pen gam'a chu kapuilut louhel diu ahi tia kaki hahsel ahi.
16 The reason that I promised that was because they rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and (desecrated/refused to rest on) the Sabbath days. [They did that] because they [SYN] were devoted [worshiping] their idols.
Ijeh inem itile amahon kachondan ho anotthap un thupeh ho ajui nom pouvin, chuleh ka cholngah niho asukeh uve. Alungthim houvin amilim doi semthu hou bou agellui.
17 But, I still pitied them and did not get rid of [all of] them in the desert.
Hijeng jongleh achung'uva lainatna kanei kit in gamthip noija suhmang ding kagotsa kahaijin, kana sumang tapoi. Beihel in jong kalha poi.
18 I said to their children, ‘Do not do the things that your parents continually did, or defile yourselves [worshiping] their idols.
Hitichun keiman achateu chun anu apateu khonung ajui lou diu, amilim doi semthu houva akisuhboh lou diu kadeije.
19 I am Yahweh your God. Carefully obey [DOU] my laws and commands.
Keima na Pakai na Pathen u kahi, kathupeh ho nit uvin lang, kachondan ho lunglut tah in jui uvin.
20 Respect my Sabbath days, in order that by doing that [PRS], it will remind you that you belong to me, Yahweh your God.’
Chuleh ka cholngah niho athengin koi uvin, ajeh chu hiche hi nang le keima Pakai na Pathen u toh ikiguijop nau melchihna ahi tin kaseipeh uve.
21 But their children [also] rebelled against me. They did not carefully obey my laws [DOU], [even though] the people who obey them will live [for a long time]; and they profaned the Sabbath days. So again I said that by getting rid of them in the desert, I would show that I was very angry with them.
Ahivangin lah achate hou jengin keidounan doumah abol'uve. Amahon sei angai uva ahileh ahinpi diu ahijeng vang'in ajui nom pouve. Chuleh amahon ka cholngah niho asukeh kit uve. Hijeh chun kalungsatna hi gamthip noija twisuna kasun lhah khum diu nahi tin kagihsal kit e.
22 But I did not do that [IDM]. [Again, ] for the sake of my own reputation, I [decided to] do something in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen it when I brought my people out [of Egypt].
Hijeng ta jongle kathahat sanna Egypt gam'a konna kahin mu a namtin vaipi ho masanga kamin kijabolna venbit nadingin suhmang dinga kana gotsa kanung lahdoh kit tai.
23 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would cause them to be scattered among [many] nations [DOU],
Ahinlah gamthip noija chun amaho dounan amahohi namtin vaipi ho lah a kathethang ding ahi tin kihahselna dettah in kabol e.
24 because they had rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and desecrated the Sabbath days, and they had eagerly [to worship] the idols that their [had worshiped].
Amahon keima chondan ajui nom pouve. Amahon kathupeh ho deimo vetsahnan kacholngah nikho ho asukeh uve. Chuleh aputeu apateu milim doi semthu ho bou chu angaicha jing uve.
25 I also allowed them to obey laws that were not good, and laws that would not enable them to live [a long time if they obeyed them].
Keiman amaho chunga chun hinna a apuilou diu thupeh ho leh chondan hi kapen ahi.
26 I allowed them to become unacceptable to me by their sacrificing their firstborn children in the fire. I did that in order that they would be horrified, and in order that they would know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Keiman thilpeh a kapeh ho tah chun amaho leh amaho kisuboh tauvinte katin chuleh a Pathen hou govam thilto a ato diuvin achapa peng masa pen hou govam dingin kaphal peh uve. Hijeh chun amaho kasuhmang theina dingleh keima changseh hi Pakai kahi chu ahetdoh theina dinguva hiche hi kapeh ahi.
27 Therefore, you human, speak to the Israeli people. Say this to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you]: This is one way that your ancestors dishonored me by turning away from me.
Hijeh chun mihem chapa thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thu Israel mipite chu pen. Napu napateuvin eina taitom un, chuleh mikhutna eina pedoh uve.
28 After I brought them into the land that I had solemnly promised to give to them, every time that they saw a high hill or a [big] green tree, they offered [to idols] there. They made offerings to them, and that caused me to become angry. They presented to those idols their fragrant burning incense, and poured out wine offerings to them.
Keiman amohpeh dinga kaki hahselna sa gamsunga kahin puilut phat in amahon molsang sang lai jouse leh thingna engnoi tin amudoh jouseu kithoina govam thilto atoh uve. Amilim doi semthu ho govam thilto ahouvu chun kalungsatna chu asuthou bebe jeng uve. Amahon gim namtwi leh thao namtwi ho chu ahinchoi jun hicheho houva chun aasunglha lha jenguve.
29 [Then] I asked them, “Who [RHQ] [told you to worship at] a shrine like this, here on this hilltop?” So they are still called “hilltop shrines”.’
Keiman nachennau munsang ho chu ipi kiti ham tia amaho koma kasei jeh chun (pathen tahsan louho muntheng chu tuni chan geijin Bamah munsang akitin ahi)
30 Therefore, say this to the Israeli people [MTY]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You are going to [RHQ] defile yourselves like your ancestors did by strongly [to worship] their disgusting [statues of idols].
Hiijeh chun Israel mite chu thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thuhi pen. Napu napa teuvin anabol bang banguva chu nangho leh nangho kisuboh dinga nakigot uham? Kidah umtah milim doiho houna a chu nangho leh nangho noti chonna chon jeng dinga nakigel jeng nahlai uham?
31 When you sacrifice your children in the fire, you are still continuing to make yourselves unacceptable to me [worshiping] your many idols. You Israeli people, should I allow you to [what I want you to do]? I, Yahweh the Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, [I will not answer] if you inquire.'
Ajeh chu nachateu govam thilto dinga nachateu neucha chaho amaho thilpeh a napeh jing jeh uva chu tuni chan gei namilim doi semthu uva chu nakisuhboh jengu ahin, achutile keima komma thu neidoh diu chu kaphal peh diu hinam? O Israle mite! Keima kahin laisen imacha naseipeh pouvinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
32 You say, ‘We want to be like the [other] nations, like the [other] people-groups in the world. We want to [idols made of] wood and [like they do].’ But what you want will never happen.
Nanghon akimvel uva namtin vaipiho thingle songa kisem milim doi houho bangin um uhite tin nasei uve. Ahivangin nalung uva nagel u chu hithei louhel ding ahi.
33 [I], Yahweh your Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, I will use my great power [DOU, MTY] to rule over you, and show that I am angry with you.
Tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Keiman kalung hanna nasatah a nachunga thih khuttuma leh kichat tijatna thahattah'a vai kahin hom khum ding nahi.
34 With my great power I will gather you from the places to which you have been scattered,
Chuleh lunghang tah a kakhut thahattah leh kaban jang thahattah kahin lhan doh ding chu nakithe cheh nau gamho a konna kahin le puikhom kit ding nahiuve.
35 and I will bring you to a [that is surrounded] by [other] nations. There, while I am looking at you, I will judge you.
Keiman namtin vaipi ho gamthip noija kahin puilutna chuleh hiche munna chu kimaito a nathu katan ding ahi.
36 I will punish you, like I punished your ancestors in the desert near Egypt.
Egypt gam'a konna napu napateu kahin puidoh nunga gamthip noija athu katan banga chu hiche lau munna chu nathu katan ding ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
37 I will count you [MTY] as you walk by, and I will force you to obey the agreement that I made with you.
Keiman nang chingthei tah a kavet chil uva chuleh kitepna dungjuija katuh dingu nahi.
38 I will get rid of those people among you who rebel [DOU] against me. Although I will bring them out [Babylonia], where they are now living, they will not enter Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Doumah bolho leh kei douna galbol ho jouse nalah uva konna kasuh theng dingu ahi. Keiman amaho chu akisol mang nau gam'a konna kahin puikit uva, ahivanga amaho chu Israel gam lut louhel diu ahi. Hitia chu nanghon keima Pakai kahi chu nahet doh dingu ahi.
39 As for you Israeli people [MTY], this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Go and worship your idols now [IRO], each of you. But [afterwards], you will [surely] heed me and no longer dishonor me [MTY] by taking gifts to your idols.
O Israel mite, nangho dinga thaneitah Pakai thusei chu hiche hi ahi. Amasanga khun che inlang, chuleh namilim doi semthu ho chu gahou kit tan. Ahivangin agang ham agei ham le nangin kathu nangaija chule namilim doi houva kamintheng suhboh nangah dingu ahitai.
40 [I], Yahweh your Lord, declare that there on my sacred hill, [Zion], that high hill in Israel, you will bring gifts to me, and I will accept them. I will require you to bring to me gifts and offerings there, and your sacrifices that are dedicated to me.
Ajeh chu keima molsang theng leh Israel mol thupi ho chunga chu nikho khat teng chule Israel miten eihin hou dingu, chuleh keiman amaho chu kakisan diu ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Hiche munna chu nanghon nathilto ho jouseu leh deilhen thilpeh chu kilhaina ho chu nahin ngeh ding ahi.
41 When I bring you out from the [other] nations [DOU] to which you have been scattered, I will accept [as though you were] fragrant incense. By doing that, I will show the people of other nations that I have set you apart to belong to me.
Nakisol mang nauva konna in na kahin puilhung teng uleh keija dinga kilhaina lunglhai umtah chu nahi diu ahi. Chutia chu namtin vaipi ho vet ding nangho a chu kathenna kaphon doh ding ahi.
42 Then, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I solemnly promised with my hand lifted up that I would give to your ancestors, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
Hitia chu keiman napu napa teu koma peh dinga tahsan tah a kaki hahsella kaki tepna gamsung a in uva kahin lut tengu leh nang hon keima hi Pakai kahi ti neihet dingu ahi.
43 And [in Israel] you will remember how you conducted your lives [previously, you will remember] the actions that caused you to become unacceptable to me, and you will hate/despise yourselves for all the evil things that you have done.
Nanghon nahole nangho nakisuhboh nau lampi ho chu nanung vet uva chule nathilse boljeh uva nangho leh nangho jong nakideimo dingu ahi.
44 When I act toward you Israeli people to protect my reputation, and not [just] because of your evil deeds and corrupt behavior, you Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].' That is what Yahweh the Lord declares.”
O Israel mite, nangho nagitlouna dungjui hilouva kamin jabolna jal'a ngailutna lhingsetna kagihsal uleh nanghon keima hi Pakai kahi ti nahin hetdoh dingu ahi, tin thaneitah Pakaiyin anaseije.
45 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Hiti chun Pakaija konin hiche thuseihi kahenga ahung lhunge.
46 “You human, turn toward the south. Preach about what will happen to that dry land, to the forest there.
Mihem chapa kiheiyin lang lhanglang khu namai ngait inlang chule amaho dounan thuseijin: Negev gammang dounan gaothu seijin.
47 Say to the forest in the [part of Israel]: 'Listen to this message that Yahweh the Lord is saying [about you]: “I am about to start a fire in your midst, and it will burn up all your trees, [both] the green trees and the withered/dry trees. Nothing will extinguish the blazing flames. And the fire will scorch the faces of everyone [who lives] in that area, from the south to the north.
Lhanglang sang gamthip jah a khun seipeh in, ‘hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi; Pakai thusei hi ngaijuvin! Keiman mei kahin halla chule thingphung jouse chu a-eng hihen ago hijongleh ania kavam soh ding ahi. Tijat umtah ameikou chu kisumit pontin, lhanglang sanga patna sahlang sang chan a kagop ding ahi.
48 Everyone will see that it is I, Yahweh, who have lit this fire, and no one will [be able to] put it out.” '”
Chutia chu vannoi leisetna mijousen hiche mei chu keima hal ahi ti amu cheh diu ahin, kiphel mit joulou ding ahi.
49 Then I said, “Yahweh, my Lord, [when I tell things like this to people, they do not believe me]. They say about me, ‘He is only telling parables.’”
Hichun keiman, O thaneitah Pakai! Aman thuchih jengin thu aseije, tin kajah a aseijuve katin ahi.
