Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Hiti hin kahenga Pakaija kon in thukhat ahung lhunge.

2 'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the 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 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?

Hiche lengpigui thing chu thilkeuva kisem theija belho leh haipeh ho khaina kisem thei ding hinam?

4 Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

Ahipoi, tiding thing in bou akimangjin, hiche jeng jong chu bailam tah in acajou loichel jin ahi.

5 Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?

Lengpigui chu meiya akiti masang hihen, akiti jou hijongleh pannabei ahibouve.

6 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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 And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My setting My face against them.

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 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

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.
