< Ezekiel 21 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge:
2 “You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
“Mihem chapa, kiheiyin lang Jerusalem lang khu namai ngat in, chuleh Israelte amuntheng hou dounan gaothu seijin.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
Amanu khu seipeh in, hichehi keima namelmapa Pakai thusei ahi, O Israel! Keiman namite michonphaho leh migilouho kibanga suhmangna dinga ka chemjam apaija konna kasadoh ding kon cha ahitai.
4 [what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
Henge, keiman michonpha le migilou ania kasat lhah ding ahi. Keiman lhanglang sanga patna sahlang chang geija agamsunga chengho jouse douna a kachemjam kasadoh ding ahi.
5 Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
Vannoi leisetna mijousen keima hi Pakai kahi ti ahetdoh diu ahi. Kachemjam hi kakhutna aume, atoh ding atoh chai masang sea apaija kinunghet kitlou ding ahi.
6 Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
Mihem chapa, mihemte masanga khun kaploi loi jengin! Lunghanna nasatah leh lungthim pohkeh pum pumin amasanguva khun kap loiloi temin.
7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
Amahon ipi bolla kap loiloi jenga nahim tia nahindoh teng uleh tijat kichat umtah thuthang kajah jeh a kap loiloi kaji. Ahung guilhun teng lungchang tah tah ho jong kichat jol lhasoh diu, thahat jouse jong mang tante. Lhagao jouse kho helouvin umtante, khupbuh thahattah ho jong twinem in nem lhatante. Ahunga ahitai, lampi a ahunge” tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
8 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
Hiti hin Pakaiyin kajah a thu ahin seijin:
9 “You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
“Mihem chapa, mipite chu Pakaija hithu kiseihi pen; chemjam khat, chemjam khat akinol hemin chule akinol val tai.
10 It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
Tijat umtah'a kisat teltel nadinga kinol hem ahi. Kolphe vahlap lap banga kinol val ahi. Tua hi nanui nahlai ding ham? Athatna noija nalhuh denna ho sang sanga gamchenga thahatjo ahi.
11 A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
Henge, chemjam chu tua hi kinol hema chuleh kinol valla ahitan; mithatpa gotsa kikoi ahitai.
12 [So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
Mihem chapa, kapdoh inlang chule peng loi loi jengin; lunghan lungnat val jeh in nakong kisot jengin, ijeh inem itile chemjam chun kamite leh alamkai ho asattel gam diu ahitan, mijouse thidiu ahitai.
13 I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
Abonchauva patepna munna chu akoi diu ahi. Itobang phat gomkom anei nahlai ding ham rin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
14 So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
Mihem chapa, ama koma gaothu seijin, chule nakhut teni bangin. Chuti chun chemjam chu lan lang, chule nivei pei temin, thumvei chan geijin jong, kitoltha gimneitah umding vetsahna in, hiche kitolthana gimnei tah chun ningtinna konna amaho lam ahin maingat ding ahi.
15 In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
Alung change chu kichat tijat in jollha jeng hen, ijeh inem itile kelkot jousea chemjam chu vallah lah jeng ding ahi. Kolphe bangin aval jap jap jengin chule kisat tel tel nadinga kinol val ahitai.
16 Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
O chemjam! Najet lang chu sat jeng temin, chule naveilang jong sat temin, hoilai hijongle nahithei theina, hoilai hijongle nanop nopna lailai sat jengin.
17 Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Keiman jong kakhut teni kabeh ding ahi. Chutia chu kalunghanna chimna dingin, kei Pakaiyin kaasei ahi.”
18 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi kahenga ahung lhunge:
19 “You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
“Mihem chapa, Babylon lengpa chemjamin ahin jui ding chu lampi ni melchihna dingin map semin. Babylon te hungna ding lampi ni akisona lamka thomma chun melchihna khon khat tungin.
20 [If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
Lampi khat chu Ammon jotna chu akhopi Rabbah chule khat chu Judah gam leh kulpi kikai khum Jerusalem jonna ahung nadiu chu ahi.
21 [When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
Babylon lengpa chu tua hi lamka thomma chu dinga ahin, Jerusalam abulu ding ham ahilouleh Rabbah abullu ding ham ti hetthei louvin aume. Aman adoithem ho chu akouvin phun asan sah e. Ama athalchang ho chu asanin, avetnan ahatdoh tai.
22 With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
Aphun akhut jetlam'a chun “Jerusalem lang jonna sepaihon kelkot suhchim nading thingtum lentah tah akichoi juva, athana diuva kholhang asap uva adelkhum nadiu aseije. Kulbang douna a kemsang adouva chule kaltou nading lampi asemtou diu ahi.
23 The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
Jerusalem miten hiche phun kisan hi dihlou ahi tia agellu ahin, Babylonte toh kinopto na a asemjeh uva. Ahivangin Babylon lengpan mite ahin douding thu ahettoh sah in in ahi. Hitia chu alullu a chule atoupha ding ahi.
24 Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
Hiche jeh a chu thaneitah Pakaiyin hiche thuhi asei ahi: avel vel in nachonsetna hole nathemmona nei geldoh sah jinge. Nangin hiche hiche ho chu seldoh ding beh nagopoi. Nathil bol jouse a nachonsetna ho chu mijousen amu jeng theidiu akilange. Hijeh a chu na ki engbolna ding phat chu hung lhunga ahitai.
25 Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
O nangho danbei leh gitlouna Israel leng chapate nangho chungchang ngaitona achaina nikho chu hilai ahitai.”
26 And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
Hiche hi thaneitah pakai thusei chu ahi: “Nasong mantam Lallukhuh chu ladoh tan, ajeh chu danlui chengse kikhel soh ahitai. Tua hi minoinung chu kichoisanga chule mithahat chu kiloi lhading ahi.
27 [Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
Manthahna! Manthahna! Keiman lenggam chu kasuh mangtei tei ding ahi. Chule thutan ding dihtah pachu ahung kilah kahsea avela kitung doh kit louhel ding ahi. Hiche teng chuleh amapa khutna kapeh doh ding ahi.
28 “And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
Chule tun, Mihem chapa, Amon mite le ami isahlou nau chungchang gaothu seijin. Thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thuhi pen: “Chemjam khat, chemjam khat, nangma kisattel jeng nadingin dodoh san akikoi tai, suhmang nadingin akinot valtai, kolphe banga vah lap lap in!
29 [Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
Nathemgao houvin gaothil muna alhem napeh jiu ahi, chule navang san ji houvin jong ajou jou aseijiu ahi. Chemjam chu migiloute ngong changa chiding ahi, ajeh chu nachung chang thu kitan chai nading nikho chu hunga ahitai.
30 You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
Tunna chemjam chu apaija henglut kittan, napen nagam chu nangma gam mong mong ahi ding jeh chun na chunga thutanna kahin lhut khum ding ahi.
31 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
Kalungsatna keiman nachunga kahin sunkhum ding nahi chule kalung han meikou kahin semkhum diu nahi. Keiman mi khanseho mi suhmang a them ho khutna kapeh doh ding nahi.
32 You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
Nangma chu meiya ti ding thinga napan ding ahi. Chule nathisan chu nangma gam leiset mama a kithethang sing ahi. Nangma geldoh kit louhel dinga na kitheh ngim ding ahi. Thusimbu a konna jong nangma kihet jingna mang ding ahi, ajeh chu keima Pakaiyin kaseidoh sa ahi.
