Ezekiel 17
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Hiti chun kahenga Pakai thusei hiche hi ahung lhunge.
2 'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use a simile unto the house of Israel,
“Mihem chapa, hiche thuchih hi pen lang, Israel mipi techu hiche thusim hi seipeh in.
3 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that hath diverse colours, Hath come in unto Lebanon, And it taketh the foliage of the cedar,
Thaneitah Pakaija kon hiche thusei hi pen: ‘Muvanlai lentah khat alhaving teni jong lent ah le amul jong sao tah, amul ho pahbet na kitom khat Lebanon lama ahungin Cedar thing leh vum'a ahung touve.
4 The top of its tender twigs it hath cropped, And it bringeth it in to the land of Canaan. In a city of merchants it hath placed it.
Chuleh abah asang pen tah chu alou lhan kivei miho chenna khopi khatna apomang tai. Kivei miho chenna khopi a chun aphut tai.
5 And it taketh of the seed of the land, And doth put it in a field of seed, To take by many waters, In a conspicuous place it hath set it.
Aman hiche gam'a kon chun muchi ho chu apon chule leiphatna laikhatna agatun ahi. Thingnem banga akhan theina dingin vadung len panga atun ahi.
6 And it springeth up, and becometh a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becometh a vine, and maketh boughs, And sendeth forth beauteous branches.
Hilaimun nahun ajung akho lut in, lengpigui nem cha bangin akhang dohtai. Abahho chu muvanlai lam ngan ahung khang doh in, chule ajung ho chu tolla chun akhang lut peh tai. Abah lhou tah tah ahin sep doh in ana ahung nou tai.
7 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And lo, this vine hath bent its roots toward him, And its thin shoots it hath sent out toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,
Ahinla muvanlai lentah a chomkhat alhaving lentah leh amul dimsetna pol khat ahunge. Hijeh chun lengpigui chu twi ngaichat najeh chun tun vang ajung ho leh abah ho jouse chu amalam ngan ahung jamdoh tauve.
8 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine.
Twi ninglhin namun leh lei phatna munna kiphut ahijeng vang chun, hijeh chun lengpiphung loupi tah khat in ahung khangdoh in chule ana thalhingset leh thei namtwi tah tah ahin sep doh tan ahi.
9 Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth — its roots doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withereth, And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
Hijeh chun tun thaneitah Pakai chun adong tai. Hiche lengpi phung hi khang touva chule phatou cheh cheh ding hinam? Ahipoi keiman ajung le adangho kabodoh a, atheiga ho kasat lhah gam ding, chule ana ho goplha a thidiu ahin, ban thahattah le sepai tamtah jaulouva bailam tah a kabodoh ding ahi.
10 And lo, the planted thing — doth it prosper? When come against it doth the east wind, Doth it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withereth.'
Ahin lengpi phung chu akiphu chon teng leh ahing thei nadem? Ahipoi, goplha ding ahitai. Solam huijin ahinsem teng hoitah a akhan dohna mun chu leiphatah namun hijongleh thiden tante.”
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Hichun kahenga Pakaija konin hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
12 'Say, I pray thee, to the rebellious house, Have ye not known what these [are]? Say, Lo, come hath the king of Babylon to Jerusalem, And he taketh its king, and its princes, And bringeth them to himself to Babylon.
Hiche doumah bol Israel koma seipeh in. Hiche muvanlai thuchih kisei hi nahet doh theilouvu ham? Babylon lengpa hi Jerusalem a hungin tin, amanu lengpa le leng chapate manin tin Babylon a atolmang diu ahi.
13 And he taketh of the seed of the kingdom, And maketh with him a covenant, And bringeth him in to an oath, And the mighty of the land he hath taken,
Aman leng insung mite toh kitepna semin tin chule thahat sanin tahsan umtah kihahselna neipinte. Aman gamsung a lamkai luboh pen pen ho jong galhinga kaimang tante.
14 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant — that it may stand.
Hijeh a chu Israel chu hung hatdoh kit talou ding chule kile thuh jou talou ding ahitai. Babylon te toh akitepnau vin bou ahinso diu ahitai.
15 And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper? doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken covenant and escaped?
Israel leng insung pasal hon Babylon douna gal bol dingin Egypt gam'a Pakai sollin sepai tamtah le sakol ho thum jongleu galbol dingin kipatdoh jou kit tapouvinte. Hitia chu Israel in akitepna asuh keh a chemang jeng thei ding ham?
16 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Doth he not — in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him — in the midst of Babylon — die?
Ahipoi tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije. Akitepna donse louva asuhkeh peh leng vaipo tung doh pa Babylon gamsunga chu Israel lengpa thiden ding ahitai.
17 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly, Doth Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mount, and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls.
Pharaoh leh sepai thahattah ho jong Israelte Babylon in Avella galhinga ahin kaija mi tamtah hinkho ahin suhmang dinga konin huhdoh jou pouvin te.
18 And he despised the oath — to break covenant, And lo, he hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth not.
Ajeh chu Israel lengpan kitepna anot thapma chule akihahsel jou nunga asuhkeh kit jeh a sohcha louhel ding ahi.
19 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — Mine oath that he hath despised, And My covenant that he hath broken, Have I not put it on his head?
Hiche jeh a chu thaneitah Pakai thusei chu hiche hi ahi. Thabeh mongin keima kahinge. Kamma kitah tah a akihahselna leh akitepna ho asuhkeh jeh a keiman ka engbol ding ahi.
20 And I have spread out for him My snare, And he hath been caught in My net, And I have brought him in to Babylon, And pleaded with him there his trespass, That he hath trespassed against Me.
Keiman kalen achunga kakhukhuma, kathanga kamat ding ahi. Babylonna kapuilutna keidouna agalmi ho kithopia apanjeh a athu katandiing ahi.
21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, By sword do fall, and those remaining, To every wind they are spread out, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Chule agal hangsan phapen pen ho jong kidouna munna kithat den diu ahin, ahing doh ho jong hui ninglia kithe thang soh diu ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangin keima Pakaiyin kasei hi nahin hetdoh ding ahi.
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], From the top of its tender shoots a tender one I crop, And I — I have planted [it] on a mountain high and lofty.
Hichehi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Cedar thingphung sang tah khat a konna abah khat kalah a chule Israel molsang pen laitah chunga kaphu dong ahi.
23 In a mountain — the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it hath borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a goodly cedar, And dwelt under it have all birds of every wing, In the shade of its thin shoots they dwell.
Hiche chu Cedar thing loupi tah, abah tamtah hin sep doh a, ga ahin sep doh dng ahi. Vacha jat chom chom in buh hin san tin, abah ho lim noija chu kiselna a ahin neidingu ahi.
24 And known have all trees of the field That I, Jehovah, have made low the high tree, I have set on high the low tree, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, Jehovah, have spoken, and have done [it]!'
Chuleh thingphung jousen thingphung sang jouse kasatlhah a thingphung nem ho chu sangtah'a kakhandoh sah a, chuti chu Pakai kahi ti ahetsoh kei diu ahi. Thing ana eng jouse goplhah sah a athiho thah hin sah kit chu keibol ahi tin Pakai keiman kana sei ahin, chule kasei doh sa chu kabol doh ding ahi ati.
