Ezekiel 24
1 Almost nine [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the tenth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me this message:
Leng Jehoiachin songkul'a akihen jou kal kum ko khinkum Tolbol 15 nihin Pakaija konin hiche thuhi akhenga ahung lhunge.
2 “You human, write down what day of the month this is. On this [the army of] King of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem.
“Mihem chapa, tuni nikho melchihna hi sun in, ajeh chu hiche nikho ahi Babylon lengpan Jerusalem ahin bulu pat nikho ahi.
3 Tell those rebellious Israeli people [MTY] [in Babylon] a parable. Say this to them: This is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Pour water into the [cooking] pot and put the pot [the fire].
Hiti chun doumah bolte chu thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thusei hin hilchetna pen. Meichunga chun belkhat songdoh in, chuleh twi themkhat sungin;
4 Put into the pot some pieces of [from one of your best sheep]: Put in the leg and shoulder, [which are] the best pieces. [Then] fill [the rest of] the pot with the best bones.
Deilhen samalsal lhah lut in, amalphe ho leh atophe ho chule nemdih deh a kichun sa ho chu lhah in,
5 Pile wood on the fire, and cook the bones and the meat in the boiling water.’
Kelngoi hon lah a kelngoi phapen pen chu mangin, bel noija thuhkhuh a chun thinglom chu tih in. bel chu hon phul let lut in chule aguho chu asatoh chun hon than.
6 [Do that] because this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘Terrible things will happen [Jerusalem]; it is city that is full of murderers [MTY], [a city that is like] [MET] a scorched pot whose black residue inside cannot be removed. Take the pieces [of meat] out of the pot, but do not choose which pieces to take out.
Tun hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Hitobang tah a gentheina hin Jerusalem anga jing ahi, tolthana khopi! Amanu hi anhonna bel ahi, dan kalla anatoh nao siltheng jou hilou techu, asaho chum oh lahdoh doh jengin, ajeh chu halkhat chu halkhat sanga phachomjo deh lou ahi.
7 The blood of the people who were murdered in Jerusalem is still there; they were murdered on the bare rocks, not on the soil, where their blood could be covered.
Ajeh chu amanu atolthana thisan chu song chunga, chun jon ahi. Tollhanga jong chu kithe thanga hilou ham?
8 But I am the one who caused the blood of those who were murdered [MTY] to be smeared on the bare rock, where their blood could not be covered; I did that in order [I could see it and] then be angry and get revenge.’
Hiche jeh a chu keiman amanu thisan chu mijouse mu ding song chunga kajonsah ding ahi. Hichu kalunghan vetsahna le amnu douna a phulahna hiding ahi.
9 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘Terrible things will happen to that city that is full of murderers [MTY]! [It will be as though] I also will pile high [the wood in the fire].
Hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Hitobang tah a gentheina hin Jerusalem anga jing ahi, tolthat hat ho khopi! Keima tah in amanu noija chu thing kachumlut peh ding ahi.
10 [So], heap on the wood and light the fire! Cook the meat well, and mix some spices with it; cook it until the bones are charred.
Henge, thing ho chu setlom peh in bel phulna ding chun meichu deu jeju jeng hen. Sa chu hal tamtah'in lhonin, chule hiche jou teng chule aguho chu hal vamin;
11 Then set the empty pot on the [of the fire] until the pot becomes [very] hot and the copper glows, with the result that the impurities and the rust will be burned up.
Tun belkeu chu meihol chunga chun song in lang bel chu ampeh in koiyin, anenho dankalla a chonnao chu kamang hen.
12 [It is as though] I tried to get rid of that rust, but I was not able to do it, [not even] by putting that pot in a fire.
Ahinlah dan kalla achonnao akisop theng thei lou jeh chun panna bei ahitai. Hijeh chu meilah a chun seplut tan.
13 The [in the pot represents] your immoral behavior. I tried to cleanse you from your wicked behavior, but you did not allow me to do that. So you will not be [from the guilt of your sin] [I have punished you and] I am no longer angry.
Nangma nathen theilouna chu najon lungput chu ahin chule namilim doi houna chu dan kalla nachonna chu ahi. Keiman soptheng kagon ahivangin nang nanompoi. Hijeh a chu tua ahi nangma douna a kalung han kabulhit kahsea nathen louna a chu naum jing ding ahitai.
14 I, Yahweh, have said [that I will surely punish you]. [And it is time] for me to do that. I will not change my mind; I will not refrain from punishing you, and I will not pity you. I will judge you [and punish you] as you deserve to be punished for your sinful behavior. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”’”
Kei, Pakaiyin kasei ahi. Phat chu hung lhunga ahita in katuh tang tahlou helding ahi. Keiman kalunggel kakhel lou ding chule keiman nachunga lainatna jong kanei kit louhel ding ahi. Nachonna gilou tah dungjuija nangma chungthu kitan ding ahi tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.
15 [One day] Yahweh gave me this message:
Hiti chun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge.
16 “You human, I am going to suddenly take from [your wife], whom you love very much. [when she dies], do [show that you are] sad or lament or cry.
Mihem chapa, nangailut tah nagou chu khatvei seh seh kajepma kalah mang ding ahi. Ahenga amanu thina a chu lunghemna imacha namusah lou ding ahi. Kap hih in, nalhi jong potsah hih in.
17 Groan quietly; do not cry [openly] for her. [Keep] your turban wrapped around your head, [instead of being barefoot, keep] your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your [to show that you are sad]. And do not eat the kind of food that people who are mourning usually eat.”
Guhthim in kap inlang chule amanu khuh chunga chu kaloi loina umlou ding ahi. Naluchang chu hohlha hih in, ahiloule na sandal jong ladoh hih in. Puldou nikho a angaina a houlam dolla chonna ho jong bol hih in, ahilouva nagolpai ho nangma lhem dinga hung hon ahin choiju anneh jong chu nehih in.
18 [one morning] I talked to the [as usual], and that evening my wife [suddenly] died. The next morning I did what [Yahweh] had told me to do.
Hijeh chun keiman ajing jing chun mipi ho masanga kasam phongtai, chule nilhah langin kajinu athitai. Ajingkah chun boldinga eikiseipeh jong chu kabol tai.
19 Then the people asked me, “What do the things that you are doing signify to us?”
Hichun, mipiho eidongun, ‘hichehi ipi tina ham? Ipi nei seipeh nom u ham?’
20 So I said to them, “[This is what] Yahweh told me:
Hijeh chun keiman amaho chu kaseipeh in, Pakaija kon thukhat kahenga ahung lhunge.
21 ‘Tell the Israeli people [MTY] that I am about to destroy the temple, [the building] that you are very proud of, the building that you delight to look at. Your children whom you [in Jerusalem when you were forced to come to Babylon] will be killed [their enemies’] swords.
Chule hiche thuhi Israel mite pedinga keima eikiseipeh e. Hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Nahoidoh nale nakiloupi sahna, nalungthim kipana hung kondohna mun ka houin kasuhboh ding ahi. Nachapa teu leh nachanu teu Juda gam'a nehin dalhah hou chu chemjama kisat lih peh diu ahi.
22 [When that happens], you will do like I have done: You will not cover the lower part of your faces, or eat the kinds of food that people who are mourning usually eat.
Hiteng chule Ezekiel in abol bang banga chu nabol dingu ahi. Mipi lah a nangin pul nadou lou ding ahilou jongle nagol napai ten nahin choipeh an jong naneh lou ding ahi.
23 [You will keep] your turbans wrapped around your heads and [keep] your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or cry, but your bodies will become very thin and slowly die because of your sins. And you will groan to each other.
Nalu a pon nakikhuh a chu nakeng chot jong nalah doh lou ding ahi. Nangin pul nadou ding ahilou jong leh naka lou ding ahinlah nachonset nau jeh a namoh lung lhahsam diu ahi. Nathilse bolna ho jouse jeh a chu nachangseh a pul nadou ding ahi.
24 Ezekiel will be a warning to you, and you must do what he has done. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh the [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Ezekiel chu nangho dinga vetsahna ahin, aman anabol bang banga chu nangin jong nahin bol ding ahi. Chule hiche phat chu ahung lhun teng nangin keima thaneitah Pakai kahi nahet doh ding ahi.
25 [Then Yahweh said to me], “You human, [soon] I will destroy their sacred temple, which they rejoice about and which they respect and delight to look at, and [I will get rid of] their sons and daughters also.
Hichun Pakaiyin kahenga aseije. “Mihem chapa, akulpiu keiman kalahpeh nikho chun-akipa nau leh aloiupi nau, alungthimuvin angaichat pen angailut pen tah u ahou hou, keiman achapateu leh achanu teu jong kalah peh thading ahi.
26 On that day, someone will escape [from Jerusalem] and come and tell you what has happened [there].
Chule hiche nikho teng chule Jerusalema konna hingdoh chu Babylonna nahenga hung uva chule ipi thilsoh em ti naseipeh dingu ahi.
27 When that happens, you will be able to speak again [MTY] [without constraint]. You two will talk together [DOU]. You will be a warning to the people; and they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Chule amapa ahung lhun phat chun phulou helouvin na o hung ging doh in, chutia chu amapa toh nakihou thei lhon ding chule nangma amaho dinga vetsahna a napan ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh amahon keima hi Pakai kahihi nahet doh diu ahi.
