Ezekiel 33

1 Pakaija kon thu kisei kahenga khat ahung lhung kitne.

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Mihem chapa, hiche thusei hi namite seipeh in: Keiman gamsung khat douna army kahin pui tengleh, hiche gamsung mite chun amaho lah a konna khongah ding khat akilhendoh diu ahi.

“Son of man, declare this to your people; say to them, 'When I bring a sword against any land, then the people of that land take one man from among themselves and make him a watchman for them.

3 Hiche khongah pa chun melma ho chu amu teng leh amite hetsahna galdah akhetding ahi.

He looks for the sword as it comes on the land, and he blows his horn to warn the people!

4 Hiteng chule koi tobang khat touvin galdah jana a ngaisah louva auma athitah le ama themo hiding ahi.

If the people hear the sound of the horn but do not pay attention, and if the sword comes and kills them, then each one's blood is on his own head.

5 Amahon galdah gin ajah uva adonse louvu ahijeh a chu amaho mopohna ahi. Amahon phatecha galdah gin chu angaijuva ahileh ahinkhou akihuhhing theiju ahi.

If someone hears the sound of the horn and pays no attention, his blood is on him; but if he pays attention, he will save his own life.

6 Ahivangin khongah pa chun melmaho chu ahung amua mipite kigin theina dinga galdah akhet louva hiche sohchan nachunga chu khongahpa mopohna hiding ahi. Amaho chu achonset nauva thiden diu ahitan, ahinlah amaho thisan phu chu khongahpa khutna kahin del ding ahi.

However, if the watchman sees the sword as it is coming, but if he does not blow the horn, with the result that the people are not warned, and if the sword comes and takes anyone's life, then that person dies in his own sin, but I will require his blood from the watchman.'

7 Mihem chapa tua hi Israel mite a ding khongah a kapansah ding nahitai. Hijeh chun kathusei ngaijin lang kei khellin gihsal tan.

Now you yourself, son of man! I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; you will hear the words from my mouth and warn them on my behalf.

8 Ijemtia keiman migilou techu thitei teidiu ahitai tia kaphondoh a chule nangin amaho ahinkho kikhel dinga nasei peh da a, achonset nauva athiden tah uva ahileh amaho thisan phu chu nang khutna kahin del ding ahi.

If I say to a wicked person, 'Wicked one, you will surely die!' but if you do not announce this so as to warn the wicked about his way, then he who is wicked will die in his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand!

9 Ahivanga nangin kisih dinga nagih salla chule amaho akisih louvuva ahileh amaho chu achonset nauva thiden diu ahitai, ahinlah nangin nahinna vang nakihuhdoh ahitai.

But you, if you warn the wicked about his way, so that he might turn back from it, and if he does not turn back from his way, then he will die in his sin, but you yourself will have saved your own life.

10 Mihem chapa, Israelte chu hiche thuhi seipeh in. Nanghon, kachonset nau gih tah chu kachunguva achunmang thah paiding kahi tauve, iti kahin jou nahlai dingu ham natiuve.

So you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'You are saying this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are decaying in them! How can we live?”'

11 Thaneitah Pakaiyin, keima kahing jinge tin aseije, migilou ho thijeh chun keima kakipah poi. Keiman athilsebol nauva konna akihei mang uva amaho ahin diu bou kadei ahije. O Israel mite! Nathilse bol nauva konin kihei mangun, kihei mangun, ipi bolla nathiden diu ham?

Say to them, 'As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I do not delight in the death of the wicked, for if the wicked repents from his way, then he will live! Repent! Repent from your wicked ways! For why should you die, house of Israel?'

12 Mihem chapa namite chu hichethu seipeh in: michonpha chu akihei manga achonset tah a ahile achonphatna chun huhhing jou pontin, ahilouva migilou chu gitlouna a konna akisih a chule achonset na a konna akiheimanga ahileh agitlouna chun sumang thei deh ponte.

So now you, son of man, say to your people, 'The righteousness of a righteous person will not save him if he sins! The wickedness of a wicked person will not cause him to perish if he repents from his sin! For the righteous person will not be able to live because of his righteousness if he sins.

13 Keiman michonpha ho chu nahin diu ahi kati a, ahia lah amaho achonset khah tah a, achonphatna abolsa chengsen eihuhhing nante tin kinem jongleh achonphatna chengse khatcha jong kigeldoh kit talouva, keiman achonset kasuhmang den diu ahitai.

If I say to the righteous, “He will surely live!” and if he trusts in his righteousness and then commits injustice, I will not call to mind any of his righteousness. He will die for the wickedness he committed.

14 Ahijeng vang'in keiman migilouho nathi teitei diu ahi tin kasei peh tajong leng hitia chu achonset nauva konna akihei manguva adihle thilpha ahin bolluva ahileh,

So if I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” but if he then repents from his sins and does what is just and right—

15 Ijem tin gangtah in abat lahna a thil kitung chengse chu pedoh henlang, athilguh hou jong nung peh hen, chule hinkho a chondan ding kapeh ho juijo henlang thilse bolda jeng taleh, hitia chu ahung chonuva ahileh amaho chu hing teitei diu ahin thi chu thilou ding ahitai.

if he restores the loan guarantee that he wickedly demanded, or if he makes restitution for what he has stolen, and if he walks in the statutes that give life and no longer commits sin—then he will surely live. He will not die.

16 Achonset nau masa ho avella kinung pohdoh kit louding ijeh inem itile amahon adih leh thilpha abol joh ahitan, amaho hing teitei diu ahitai.

None of the sins that he has committed will be called to mind for him. He has acted justly and rightly, and so, he will surely live!

17 Namiten, Pakaiyin thilpha abolpoi, atiuvin ahinlah thilpha bollou chu amaho joh ahibouve.

But your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” but it is your ways that are not fair!

18 Ijeh inem itile avella kasei kit ahi, michonpha techu achonphat nauva konna akihei manguva thilse abolluva ahileh thidiu ahi.

When the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, then he will die in it!

19 Hijeh chun thilse bolte chu athil bol nauva konna ahung kihei doh uva adih le thilpha abolluva ahileh hing diu ahi.

When the wicked turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and righteous, he will live because of those things!

20 O Israel mite! Nanghon Pakaiyin thilpha abolpoi natiuvin ahinlah keiman amichang cheh natoh dungjui juva nathu katana hi.

But you people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” I will judge each of you according to his way, house of Israel!'”

21 Kasoh channao kum somle kum ni lhin kum Tolbol niget nin Jerusalema konna ahingdoh khat kahenga ahungin chule hitin aseije: khopi alhutai, ati.

It happened in the twelfth year, on the fifth day of the tenth month of our captivity, that a fugitive came to me from Jerusalem and said, “The city has been captured!”

22 Hiche masangni nilhah chun Pakaiyin eituhchah kheh in chule Pakaiyin kakam eikeh peh in kapao thei kittai. Hijeh chun ajing jingkah a amapa hunglhun phat chun kei thuseijin kaumtai.

The hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening before the fugitive came, and my mouth was opened by the time that he came to me in the dawn. So my mouth was open; I was no longer mute!

23 Hichun Pakaija kon hiche thuhi kahenga ahung lhunge:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

24 Mihem chapa, Judate akithe thang amoh chengse khopi lumsa a cheng hon hitin aseijuvin, Abraham chu mikhat ahijeng vang'in agam pumpi analon ahi. Keiho mitamtah kahiuvin hiche gam hi kagoulo diu mong monga eikipeu ahi atiuve.

“Son of man, the ones inhabiting those ruins in the land of Israel are talking and say, 'Abraham was only one person, and he inherited the land, but we are many! The land has been given to us as a possession.'

25 Hijeh chun hiche mite hi seipeh in, hichehi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: nanghon sa athisan pumin naneuvin, nanghon milimdoi na houvun chule mona neilou ho nathat uve. Gam leiset hi nangho a dinga ngellu ham?

Therefore say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: You eat blood, and you lift up your eyes towards your idols, then you pour out people's blood. Should you really possess the land?

26 Tolthat teho, milim doi houho, jon thanhoi bolhon gamsung hi nachan mong diu hinam?

You have depended on your swords and have done disgusting things; each man defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you really possess the land?'

27 Amaho chu seipeh in, hiche thuhi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi. Tahbeh mongin keima kahing jinge, khopi gemsa a cheng ho chu chemjama kithat diu ahi, chule keiman gamsaho chu loujau chengho negam dinga kahinsol ding ahi. Kulpi kikai khum sunga le songko ho a chengse chu natna thidiu ahi.

You will say this to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: As I live, surely the ones in the ruins will fall by the sword, and I will give those in the fields to the living creatures as food, and those in fortresses and in caves will die of plagues.

28 Keiman agam kasuhmang hella chule aloupina a kasuhset peh ding ahi. Amanu kiletsahna thahatna chu kichai ding ahitai. Israel molsang ho chu ahom keuva kijama koi machan agam chu ajotpa lou ding ahi.

Then I will turn the land into a desolation and a horror, and the pride of its might will end, for the mountains of Israel will be deserted, and there will be no one to pass through them.'

29 Keiman achonset nau kidah dah umho a agamu kasuhmang hel teng tah chuleh amahon keima Pakai kahi ti ahetdoh diu ahi.

So they will know that I am Yahweh, when I make the land a desolation and a waste because of all the abominations that they have done.

30 Mihem chapa, namite ainsunguvah nangma chungchang akihou limuvin chule akotphung hou vah guh thimin akihoulim uve. Amaho khat leh khat akihouvun, hungun themgaopa koma cheu hitin Pakai thusei gangaiju hite atiuve.

So now you, son of man—your people are saying things about you beside the walls and the gates of the houses, and each says to one another—each man to his brother, 'Let us go and listen to the prophet's word that comes out from Yahweh!'

31 Hijeh chun kamite chu lungtheng tah bangin ahungun chule nama sangah atou uve. Nathusei angai uvin ahin nathusei nahsah in anei pouvin bolding jong ago pouve. Akamsungu jonthanhoi thu jeng adimin chule alung thimuvin sum jeng aholluve.

So my people will come to you, as they often do, and will sit in front of you and listen to your words, but they will not obey them. Right words are in their mouths, but their hearts are going after unjust profit.

32 Nanghi amaho ding nopsah pi thei tah nahi. Koitobang joldeila aw ngeitah tah sa a ahilouleh tumging thei ngeitah tah saiho toh nabange. Nathusei angaijuvin amahon abol pouve.

For you are like a lovely song to them, a beautiful sound that is well played on a stringed instrument, so they will listen to your words, but none of them will obey them.

33 Ahivnagin hiche tijat umtah thilho achung'uva ahung lhun tengleh hiche hi hung guilhung tei ding ahi. Hiteng tah chule amahon alah uva themgao aume ti ahetdoh diu ahi.

So when all of this happens—behold! it will happen!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
