¹Huan TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtung nawna,

¹And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²Mihing tapa, Israel jawlnei, mah lungtang kia akipana gen chingte tungah thu gen inla, TOUPA thu ngai un, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi.

²Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

³Jawlnei hai, amau ngaihdan juia, bangmah lah mu ngal loute a tung uh a gik hi:

³Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

⁴Aw Israel, na jawlneite kho Tulsa sehal bang lel a hita uh.

⁴O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

⁵TOUPA nia kidounaa ding zou dingin a vana tak na phu ngam kei ua, Israel inkote human ah lah n aphatuam sam kei uh.

⁵Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

⁶TOUPA thu pawt ahi chimiten bangmah lou lel leh gen kholhna lim lel a tang ua, TOUPA sawl ahi kei himhim uhi; a thu uh hi ngei ding bangin mite a gingta sak ua.

⁶They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

⁷Kilakna hongvuaksuak lel na mu un, thu gen kholh dik lou na gen uh ahi kei maw? TOUPA thupawt ahi na chi nawn ngal ua, kenlah ka gen het kei a.

⁷Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?

⁸Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Bangmah lou phet na gen ua juau lel na muh jiak un, ngai un, ka hon nang ahi, chih TOUpa thu pawt ahi.

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

⁹Huan ka khutin bangmahlou mute leh juau gen kholmite a nang dinga, ka mite kidot khawmna ah a tel kei ding ua, Israel innkuante min gelhna ah gelhin a om sam kei ding; huchiin TOUPA PATHIANIN ka hi chih na thei ding uh.

⁹And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

¹⁰Galmuan om lou pia, Muan huai e, chia mite a pi mang jiak un leh mi bang bawla, sunu nuhmiten,

¹⁰Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:

¹¹A ke nawn mai ding, vuahpi a hongzu dinga, nou gial lian pite aw, na hongke ding ua, huih thupiin a hihse ding, chiin.

¹¹Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

¹²Huan, Ngai un, bang a chip khit chiangin, Na sunu nuh uh koiah, a honchi kei ding ua hia?

¹²Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

¹³Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Ka hehin huihpi thupiin ka hihsevek ding, ka hehin gial thupi tak hihmang dingin a hongke ding.

¹³Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

¹⁴Huchiin sunu na nuh ngou bang uh ka chim sak dinga, lei phain a chim dia, huchiin a suangphumte a dawk hial ding hi: huan a chim dinga, bang chim ah hihmangin na om ding uh; huchiin TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding uh.

¹⁴So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

¹⁵Hichibangin bang tungah leh sunu nuhmite tungah ka hehna ka lungdam sak ding; huan, Bang a om nawn keia, a belmite leng a om nawn ta kei uh, ka honchi ding hi.

¹⁵Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

¹⁶Huai bel Israel jawlnei Jerusalem tung thu gena, galmuanna om lou pia galmuanna musakmite ngei, a om nawn kei uh, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁶To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁷Huan, nang mihing tapa, na mite tanute, a lungtang lel ua genmite masuan inla, amau kalhin thu genin, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi:

¹⁷Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

¹⁸Numei, mite bana sik bunsak lehmi hinnate mat belhna dinga mi lian mite lu khuhna khuimite a tung uh a gik hi: Nou hinna dingin ka mite hinna na man ding uh maw?

¹⁸And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

¹⁹Buhman tawmchik leh tanghou them mu dinga si lou ding sisak ding leh hing lou ding hingsak dingin na juau gen uh ka miten a up jiak un ka mite lakah ka min a thanghuai ahi.

¹⁹And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

²⁰Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi a: Ngai un, mi hinna, vasa banga man dinga na thil but sakte uh k amudah ahi; na bante uh ka bot dinga, na mi mat dingte uh hinna ka pawt sak vek ding; vasa banga na mat dingte uh hinna.

²⁰Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

²¹Na lukhuhnate uh leng ka botkek dinga, ka mite na khut ua kipan ka suakta sak ding, na mat theih ding un na khut uah a omta kei ding uh; huchiin TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding uh.

²¹Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

²²Kei lungkham sak hi loua, mi diktatte lungtang juaua na hihnat jiak un leh mi gilou hingdama a omna dinga a khelhna lampia kipan kilehhei louhna dingin mi gilou khutte na hihhat ua,Huaijiakin bangmahlou lel, thu genkhawl diklou hiam jaw na mu nawn himhim kei ding uh; huan ka mite na khut ua kipan ka hun khe dinga, TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding uh, a chi, chiin gen in, achi a.

²²Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

²³Huaijiakin bangmahlou lel, thu genkhawl diklou hiam jaw na mu nawn himhim kei ding uh; huan ka mite na khut ua kipan ka hun khe dinga, TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding uh, a chi, chiin gen in, achi a.

²³Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
