Ezekiel 14

1 Hitah chun Israel sunga lamkai phabep kahenga ahungun, hitia amaho kakoma atou pet un,

Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down before me.

2 Kahenga Pakaija konin hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

3 Mihem chapa, hiche lamkai hohin alungsung uva milim doi kisemthu akitun u ahi. Amahon chonsetna alhuh nadiu thilho chu akol chahkheh un ahi. Ipi jeh a athum nau chu kangai peh ding ham?

“Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?

4 Hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi tin seipeh in. Israel mipi ten alungthim sung uva milim doi kisemthu akitun soh kei u ahi. Chonsetna lha ahitauvin, chuti chun amaho themgao ho koma thu aga dong jiuve.

Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,

5 Hijeh a chu Pakai keiman, amaho chu nasatah a amilim doi hou nauva akhol khom jat dungjui ja kahin donbut diu ahi. Hiche ho kidah dah um amilim doi hounauva konna kamite lungthim leh alungchang u kakhum khom theina ding uva kabol dingu ahi.

so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’

6 Hiche jeh chun Israel mipite chu seipeh in, hiche hi thaneitah Pakai thusei ahi. Kisih unlang namilim doi hou nauva konin kihei mangun. Chuleh kidah dah um nachonset nau chu ngau vin.

Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations.

7 Kei Pakaiyin Israel insung mi hihen, gamdang mi hijongle, keima eipaija alungchang uva milim doi kitundoh a chonsetna lha ho, chule kei thuhil ngaicha a themgao ho koma che jouse agoma donbutna kapeh ding ahi.

For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.

8 Hitobanga chon miho douna a kahung kiheija amaho dinga tijat umtah vetsahna kapeh a, kamite a konna amaho hi kasuhmang jeng ding ahi. Hiteng chule nangin keihi Pakai kahi ti nahin hetdoh ding ahi.

I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

9 Chuleh ijemtia themgaopa thusei dinga akijou klhep lhah khah tah a ahileh, hiche themgao pachu keima Pakaiyin kajou lhep jeh hiding ahi. Keiman hiche themgao pa chunga chu kakhut tum kahin lap sanga, Israel mite lah a konna amaho chu kasat lhah ding ahi.

But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.

10 Themgao lhem ho leh amaho lamkai ngaichaho jouse chu achonset nau jeh a talen kapeh soh kei diu ahi.

They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—

11 Hitia hi Israel mipi te keija konna vahmang kit talou hel diu ahi. Amaho leh amaho chonsetna a kisuboh kit talou diu ahi. Amaho chu kamite hiuva chuleh keima a Pathen u kahi ding ahi, tia Pakai kitipa keiman kaseidoh ahi.

in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”

12 Chutah chun hiche thusei hi kahenga Pakaija kon in ahung lhunge.

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

13 Mihem chapa, gamsung khat a mite chu kei dounan hung chonse kha ta leu, keiman amaho suhchipna dinga kakhut kahin lap a aneh hol nau lampi kasuhtang peh a, mihem leh gancha agoma suhmang nadinga kel kalhah sah ding ahi.

“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,

14 Noah, Daniel chule Job ho jeng jong achonphat nauvin midang khat jong ahuhhing jou pouvin, amavang amaho changseh bou akihuhhing jou uve, tin thaneitah Pakaiyin aseije.

then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.

15 Ahilouleh keiman gamsa ho chu agamsunga kadel khum sah a miho chu athauva chuleh agam chu mi chen louna gam aso uva, chuleh koiman ajot le ngamlou ding ahitai. Ajotpa le ho dinga kichat tijat um kahisah thei ahi.

Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,

16 Adihtah mong mongin, keiman kahin laisen pasal thum ana umkhom kha tajong leu achapa teu leh achanu teu huhdoh jou pouvintin, amaho changseh bou kihuhdoh uva, amavang agamsung uhi ahomkeu kiso ding ahi.

then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.

17 Ahilouleh agamsung douna a gal kahin pohlut khuma chule mihem leh ganchaho sumang dinga melma sepaite kahin sollut khum thei ahi.

Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,

18 Adih tahbeh mongin keima kahin laisen tin thaneipen Pakijin aseije. Pasal thum ana umkhom jong leu amaho chapate leh chanuteu huhdoh jou pouvintin, amaho changseh bou kihuhdoh jou diu ahi,

then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.

19 Ahiloule keiman kalungsatna hi agamsunga natna hi kasunlhah khuma chuleh hiche natna chun mihem leh gancha kibanga athagam sah thei ahi.

Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,

20 Atahbeh mongin keima kahin laisen tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseije. Noah, Daniel, Job ho ana umun, amahon amaho chapte leh achanuteu ana kihuhdoh jou pouve. Achonphat nauvin amaho bouseh akihuhhing jouvun ahi.

then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.

21 Tun thaneipen Pakai thusei chu hiche hi ahi. Jerusalem chunga hiche engbolna hoise tah tah liho hung lhung ding hi ichan a tijat um hiding hitam? Gala kisat a kel lha, gamsaho, chuleh natna hise amanu amite leh aganchate jouse sumang dinga hung lhung ding ahi tin aseije.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?

22 Ahijeng vang'in ahing doh umnalai ding ahin, amaho chun Babylon langa delmanga umdinga nangma nung ahin jui diu ahi. Itobang tah a migilou hiuvem? ti nangin namit tah a nahin mu ding, hiteng chule keiman Jerusalema ipi kabol ding ham ti nahet doh thei ding ahi.

Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.

23 Nangin amaho nakimuto pi tengleh aum chanu nahin mu a, hitobang thil hohi ajeh beija kabol ahilou chu nahin hetdoh ding ahi tia keima thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahi.

They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
