< Ezekiel 4 >

1 [Yahweh also said to me, ] “You human, take a large clay tablet/brick and put it in front of you. Then on the [engrave/draw] on it lines that represent Jerusalem.
Chule tun, mihem chapa, leisetna kisem cheh lhang lentah khat lan lang namasanga chun koiyin chuche song chunga chun Jerusalem khopi lim semin
2 [draw figures around it to represent enemy soldiers who will] surround the city. Make mounds around it and a dirt ramp up against the [around the city]. [figures around it that represent] (battering rams/heavy logs that will break though the walls).
Khopi hunama akilahpehna lim vetsah in. Koimacha sochatna theilou ding akim vella chun pal kaijin. Akim vella chun melma sepaiho camp leh khopi nakhumna dinga kalbi tobang lampi sangtou keija kisem leh kulpi suhsetna dinga kisem thingtum lentah tah alulam a thih kisem lim semin.
3 Then take an iron pan, and place it [to be] like an iron wall between you [the drawing of] the city. Then turn your face toward the drawing. It will symbolize [enemy troops will] surround the city to attack it. That will be a warning to the Israeli people [MTY].
Chuleh changlhah semna a kimang thihpeh lan lang nang le khopi kikah a chun koiyin. Khopi langa chun heijin Jerusalem khopi hunam a akilah ding nasat ding dan vetsah in. Hiche hi Israel mipi tedinga gihsalna a pang ding ahi.
4 Then lie on your left side, and stay like that for 390 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished for] their sins; you must lie like that one day for each year during which they will be punished.
Tun naveilang napang peh a chun lumin lang chule Israel chonsetna chu nangma chung tah a chun koiyin. Amaho chonsetna chu napangpeh a nalup nijat chu napoh ding ahi.
5
Keiman Israel chonset napoh nading ni jathum le somko nanga kona kangaichat ahin – nikhat hi achonset nau kumkhat a kisim ding ahi.
6 After that, lie down again. This time, lie on your right side for 40 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished more] for their sins, one day for each [during which they will be punished].
Hiche jou teng chuleh kile heijin lang najet lang napang peh a chun ni somli sungin lumin – nikhat chu? Juda chonsetna kumkhatna kisim ding ahi.
7 Turn your face [the drawing of] Jerusalem and bare your [like a soldier does who prepares to go into a battle] [MTY], and prophesy [what will happen to] the city.
Jerusalem hunama akino khumna navet jing lai sungin naban jang kiuvin lumin lang chule khopi manthah nading gaovin seisei jengin.
8 [You will not be able to move; it will be as though] I have tied you with ropes in order that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have [symbolizing how many years the city] will be (besieged/surrounded by enemy soldiers).
Hunama nakimatna nikhojat alhin kahsea najet naveija nakihei doh thei louna dinga keiman khao janga kakan ding nahi.
9 [Before you do that, ] take some wheat and barley, beans, lentils, spelt and millet, and put them in a [storage] jar, and use that to bake [for yourself]. That is what you will eat during the 390 days while you lie on your [left] side.
Tun chen lang chule suhlou chang, sakol chang, bechang, bekan chang, butun le kolbutun kilah in lang hiche ho chu bel khat sunga hal khomin. Hiche ho chu ni jathum le somko napang lang khat a nalupna phat sunga din changlhah in kisem in.
10 You will eat (8 ounces/a small loaf) of bread each day.
Hiche neh leh chah chu ounce get get in tetoh in lang hiche an chu aphat kipe dungjuija nikhatna khatvei bou naneh ding ahi.
11 [Also] measure out (1.5 pints/0.6 liter) of water to drink each day.
Hitia chu twi jeng jong atena a kitetoh aphat kitep dung jui'a atena khat bou nadon ding ahi.
12 Eat that bread like you would eat a loaf of barley bread. But use your own dried dung for fuel to bake the bread while people are watching.
Sakol changa kisem changlhah chu na anneh dinga nakigon ding ahi. Mipihon avet jing laiju changlhah chu mihem ehgoho meiya kitih chunga chu changlhah chu nakana naneh ding ahi.
13 That will symbolize that the Israeli people will be forced to eat food that is unacceptable to me when they are living in the nations to which I will force them to go.”
Chuti chun, Pakai chun “Keiman kadel mang nao gentile gam'a chu hitobang a hi chang kisuboh ho Israel ten ahin neh diu ahi,” tin aseije.
14 Then I said, “No, Yahweh God![Do not force me to do that]! I have never caused myself to become unacceptable to you [by doing anything like that]. From the time when I was young, I have never eaten meat of any [animal] that was found dead or that had been killed by wild animals. And I have never eaten any meat that is unacceptable to you.”
Hichun keiman, O thaneipen Pakai hiche mihem ehho manga eiki suboh ding hitam? Ajeh chu hibang hint u masangin kana kisuboh kha hih helle. Kaneo laiya kipat tuni chan ganhing damlouva thi ahiloule ganhing dangin athasa jong kane khah hih helle. Danin aphallou sa jong kane khapoi.
15 Yahweh replied, “Okay, I will allow you to bake your bread using dried cow manure instead of human [for fuel].”
“Ahileh aphai, nangin mihem eh sangin bongeh in kisemiun,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
16 Then he said to me, “You human, I will cause the supply of food to Jerusalem to be cut off. [Then] the people will eat the small amounts of food and drink the small amounts of [that the government permits them to have], and they will be [very] distressed and anxious as they do that,
Hichun aman “Mihem chapa, keiman Jerusalema an kalhahsam sah ding ahi. Hitia chu chingthei tah a kitea chule kicha tah a kine ding ahi. Twi chu avatna kisima kite ding chule mihem hon lungdong tijat pum puma adon diu ahi.
17 because water and food will be very scarce. They will see each other becoming extremely thin, and they will be appalled; [but this will happen] because they are being punished [for the sins that they have committed].”
An le twi lhahsam jeh a mihem ho chu khat khat kikicha to tah a kiveto diu chuke a kigimbol nau phatsung chu hitia chu aman lhum diu ahi,” tin aseipeh e.
