¹Huchiin Israel upa khenkhatte ka kiangah a hongpai ua, ka maah a tu ua.

¹Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.

²Huan TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtungta, ka kiangah

²And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

³Mihing tapa, hiai miten a milimte uh a lungtang uah a la lut ua, a ma uah a thulimlouhna pukna uh a koih uhi; kei hondong ding uh ahi peuhmah ua hia?

³Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?

⁴Huaijiakin, amau houpih inla, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Israel inkuana mi chih a lungtang ua milim la luta, a ma ua a thulimlouhna pukna koiha, jawlnei kianga hongpai peuhmah kei TOUPAN a milim uh tamdan bang jelin ka dawng ding;

⁴Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

⁵Israel innkote a milim uh jiaka honna omtuam san jiak ua a lungtang ua ka mat thehna dingin.

⁵That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

⁶Huaijiakin Israel inkote kiangah TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Hong kik unla, na milimte ua kipanin hong kik unla, na kihhuaina tengteng uh lehngatsan un.

⁶Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

⁷Israel innko laka mi kuapeuh hiam, mikhual Israel gama teng tei hiam, keia kipana kihihtuam, a lungtang ua milim la luta, a ma ua thulimlouhna pukna koih kawma, a tung tang ua hondong dinga jawlnei kianga hoh kei TOUPA ngeiin ka dawng mai ding.

⁷For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

⁸Huai mi ka masuan dinga, mi lamdanga sak dingin khantawn khantawn gen dingin ka mit elaka kipan ka hih mang ding; huchiin kei TOUPAN jawlnei ka khem ahi a, a tungah ka khut ka lik dinga, ka mi Israelte laka kipan ka hihmang ding.

⁸And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

⁹Huan jawlnei khema omin thu gen henla, kei TOUPAN jawlnei ka khem ahi a, a tungah ka khut ka lik dinga, ka mi Israelte laka kipan ka hihmang ding.

⁹And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

¹⁰Huan a thulimlouhna uh a po ding ua: jawlnei thulimlouhna amah dongmite thulimlouhna bang mai ahi ding.

¹⁰And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;

¹¹Israel inkote keia kipa a man nawn louh ua, a tatleknate tengteng ua a kihihnit nawn sam louhna ding un, ka mite a hih jawk tak ua a Pathian uh ka hih theihna dingin, TOUPA PATHIANIN a chi ahi, chiin gen in, a chi a.

¹¹That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

¹²TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hontunga.

¹²The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

¹³Mihing tapa, gam miten tatlekna thil hiha, ka tunga thil hihkhiala, ken ka khut ka lika, a en uh, hinna bul ka hihsiata, a tung ua kial ka tunsaka, mi leh sa te ka honhihman leh hiai mi thum,

¹³Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

¹⁴Noa, Daniel leh Job te hial leng hongomta bang hileh, a diktatna un amau hinna kia a humbit ding ahi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁴Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵Gam sahangte a gam uh ka tuan suak saka, gam a hihsiat ua, a hongkigawpa, gam sa jiaka kuamah pai suak ding a om kei uleh

¹⁵If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:

¹⁶Hiai mi thumte om le uh, a hina ka hin laiteng, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, a tanute uh, a tapate uh a humbit tuan kei ding uh: amau kia hotdamin a om ding ua, gam a se gawp ding.

¹⁶Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

¹⁷A hihleh huai gamah namsau ka lik dia, Namsau, gamtang in, chileng mi leh sa ka gawi mang ahi dinga;

¹⁷Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

¹⁸Hiai mi thumte om le uh; a hina ka hin laiteng, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi a, a tanute uh, a tapate uh a humbit tuan kei ding ua, amau hinna kia humbitin a om ding.

¹⁸Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

¹⁹Ahihleh, huai gamah, hipi ka honlen suaha ka hehna huai gam tunga ka honsun leh:

¹⁹Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

²⁰Noa, Daniel leh Job te hial leng na om le uh, a hina ka hin sung teng, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, a tanu uhiam, a tapa uhiam a humbit kei ding ua, a diktatna un amau hinna ngei a humbit lel ding.

²⁰Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

²¹TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ngala: Jerusalem tunga ka vaihawmna na mahmah li, namsaute, kialte, gam sahangte, hipi te, mi leh s agawimang vek dinga ka hontun kim hun chiangin bangchia thupi ahi de aw?

²¹For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

²²Himahleh ngai in, huai laia om sun pi khiak dingte nutsiatin a om ding ua, tanute leh tapate leng: ngai un, a kianguah a hongpawt khe ding ua, a omdan uh a thilhihte na mu ding uh, huan Jerusalem tunga thil hoih lou ka hontut thu ah lungmuanin na om ding ua, a tunga ka hontut tengteng thu ah leng.A omdan u leh a thilhihte uh n amuh hun chiang un a honlungmuan ding uh; a tunga ka thilhih tengteng hih san neilouin ka hih kei chih na thei ding uh chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, chiin.

²²Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

²³A omdan u leh a thilhihte uh n amuh hun chiang un a honlungmuan ding uh; a tunga ka thilhih tengteng hih san neilouin ka hih kei chih na thei ding uh chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, chiin.

²³And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
