¹Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

¹Ka itluat thu, a grep huan tungtang thu, ka itluat adingin lain ka sata mai ding. ka itluatin tang lei hoih mahmahah grep huan a neia:

²And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

²A kimvelin lei a tou kuaka, a suangte a tom sianga, grep gui hoih pen a suana, a laiah in sang alama, huailaiah grep sukna khuk leng a tou a: huchiin, grep gaha gah dingin a lamena, ahihhangin grep taklou a honggah maimah.

³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

³Tuin, Jerusalem omte leh Juda mite aw, hehpihtakin kei leh ka grep huan kala thu honngaihtuah dih ve ua.

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

⁴Tua grep huanah ka hihsa akanaval a tungah hih nawnlai lai ding bang bang om a hita maia? Bangjiakin ahia, grep gaha gah dinga ka lametet toh, grep taklou-a gah maimah?

⁵And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

⁵Tuin ngai un, ka grep huan tungah ka hih ding ka honhilh ding: a ling dai ka la mang dinga, nek gaihin a om ding; a suang dai ka chim sak dinga, sikdenin a om ding:

⁶And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁶Huan, ka hihse vek dinga; sat nouin om ken chin, tohvuiin leng om sam ken teh; loulingnei leh khau lingneite a pou zo ding: meite leng a tunga vuah himhim zu sak lou dingin thu ka pe ding hi.

⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

⁷Sepaihte TOUPA grep huan tuh Israel inkuanpihte ahi a, Juda mite lah a kung deihhuai tak ahi ngal ua; vaihawmna diktat a lemena; a hihhangin, ngaiin, nuaisiahna a hongom zota ahi: diktatna a lemena, a hihhangin, ngaiin, kilou husa a hongom zota hi.

⁸Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

⁸Gam laizanga amau kia a om theihna ding ua mi om samna ding mun himhim omlou khop hiala in leh in kizomsak jel leh, lou leh lou kizomsak jeilte tung a gik hi.

⁹In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

⁹Sepaihte TOUPAN ka bilah hichi bangin a chi, In tampi, lian pipi kilawm pipi, a teng ding omlouin a hawm vek ngeingei ding.

¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

¹⁰Grep huan tin sawm munah bath khat kia suak dingin a kisa, buh chi homer khat tuhin ephah khat kia suak dingin lah a kisa ngala, chiin.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

¹¹Ju delh dinga jingkhang pipi-a thou-a, uainin a kham gawp sak mateng jan sawt pipi tana om sakte a tung uh a gik hi.

¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹²Tumging leh kaihgingte, khuangta leh tamngaite, uain toh a ankuangluina uahte a om seka, himahleh TOUPA nasep a ngaisang sek kei ua, a khut thihihte leng, a nagaihtuah ngei sam kei uhi.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

¹³Huaijiakin ka mite jaw, thiehna a neih louh jiak un, sala piin a omta ua: a mi zahtakhuaite uh a gil uh a kiala, a mipite uh dangtakin a dang uh a keu khinta hi.

¹⁴Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

¹⁴Huaijiakin Sheolin a gilkialna a na liansaka, a kam tuh leh vuallouh khopin a kataa: huchiin a thupinate uh, a mipite uh, a thupi mahmahnate un, a lak ua kipak taka omte toh a lut suk ngoingoi uhi.

¹⁵And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

¹⁵Mi nuete kunsakin a om ua, mi liante niamsakin a omta uhi;

¹⁶But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁶Sepaihte TOUPA bel vaihawmnaa tawisangin a om zoota, Pathian, Mi Siangthou tuh, diktatnaa hihsiangthouin a omta hi.

¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

¹⁷Huan, belam noute a tatna mun ua a ta bang un a ta diamdiam ding ua, mi thau pipite mun sesaa thilte vakvaiten a ne ding uh.

¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

¹⁸Juautheihna khautea thulimlouhna kaia, kangtalai khaujena kaih banga khelhna kai sekte tung a gik hi!

¹⁹That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

¹⁹I muhna dingin hih meng henla, a thilhih ding hih kin leh; i theihna dingin Israelte Mi Siangthou lemtheih tuh hongaiin nongtung hen, chi gigete ngei.

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²⁰Thil hoihlou thil hoih chi-a, thil hoih lah thil hoihlou chi jela, vak miala ngaia, mial vaka ngai seka, thil khum thil khaa ngaia, thil kha

²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

²¹Amau pila kingalhtuahte leh amau mit muha teite a tung uh a gik hi!

²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

²²Uain dawn lama mi hat tak, ju hel lama thagui nei mite a tung uh a gik!

²³Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

²³Golh nek jiaka mi gilou siamtangsak seka, mi diktat diktatna laksak sekte ngei.

²⁴Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁴Hauijiakin meikuangin buhpawl a liak bei dundun sek bangin leh loupa keu meikuanga a puk zungzung sek bangin a zung uh a muatna bangin a om dinga, a pak uh leivui bangin a tungkah lunglung ding: Sepaihte TOUPA dan a deih kei ua, Israelte Mi Siangthou thu a ngaihneu jiak un.

²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²⁵Huijiakin TOUPA a mite tungah a heh mahmaha, a tunguah a khut a lika, a vuaa, huchiin tangte khawng a ling vonvon ua, a luangte uh kongzing lakah ninbulom bangin a om venvon a. Huchi tela a hihin leng a hehna lah a dai kei a, a khut a lik lailai hi.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

²⁶Nam chih gamla taka mite adingin chiamtehna a tak khe dinga, kawl-monga kipan sam dingin a singsit ding: huchiin, ngaiin, amaute tuh kintakin a hongpai pah ding uh:

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁷Amau lakah kuamah a gim kei ding ua, a kisui sam kei ding uh; kuamah a lusu kei ding ua, a ihmu sam kei ding uh; a kawnggak ulah phel kolin a om kei dinga, a khedap gakna leng a tan sam kei ding:

²⁸Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

²⁸A thalte uh a zum mahmaha, a thalpeu tengteng uh laisain a om keukou a; a sakol chinte uh meisahsuang a banga, a kangtalai khete uh leng pingpei a bang hi.

²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

²⁹A husa ging honhon uh humpinelkai humham bang mai ahi. Humpinelkai lunlai humham bang maiin a ging honhon hi: ahi, a ging honhona, a samat ding uh a man ua, bittakin a pai mang pih ua, kuamahin a honkhe theikei hi.Huai niin tuipi ging hawhaw bangin a tunguah a ging hawhaw ding ua: Huchiin min gam a honet uleh, ngaiin, mial leh mangbatna ngen ahi a, vak lah huaia mitea hihmialin a om hi.

³⁰And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

³⁰Huai niin tuipi ging hawhaw bangin a tunguah a ging hawhaw ding ua: Huchiin min gam a honet uleh, ngaiin, mial leh mangbatna ngen ahi a, vak lah huaia mitea hihmialin a om hi.
