Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Hiti chun kahenga Pakai thusei hiche hi ahung lhunge.
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
“Mihem chapa, hiche thuchih hi pen lang, Israel mipi techu hiche thusim hi seipeh in.
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch 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 He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; he set it in a city of traders.
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 he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, he set it as a willow tree.
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 grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, so that its branches should turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; and it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
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 was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and behold, from the beds of her plantation, this vine did bend her roots unto him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it.
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 It was planted in a good field by many waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a noble 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck 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 behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.
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 the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Hichun kahenga Pakaija konin hiche thuhi ahung lhunge.
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things are? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king and its princes, and led them with him 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 took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land;
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 might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to 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 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
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 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he 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 Neither shall Pharaoh with a mighty army and a great assemblage do anything for him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
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 He despised the oath, and broke the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, yet hath he done all these things: he shall not escape.
Ajeh chu Israel lengpan kitepna anot thapma chule akihahsel jou nunga asuhkeh kit jeh a sohcha louhel ding ahi.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily, mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon 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 will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his unfaithfulness in which he hath been unfaithful 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 shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young shoots a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and eminent mountain:
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 upon the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar; and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall 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 all the trees of the field shall know that I Jehovah have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: I Jehovah have spoken, and will do [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.
