¹TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtung nawna,

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

²Mihing tapa, Jerusalem a kihhuainate theikhe sak kiangah,

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

³TOUPA PATHIANIN Jerusalem kiangah hichiin a chi ahi: Na pawtna gam leh na pianna gam Kanan mite gamahi a, na pa Amor mi ahi a, na nu Hit mi ahi.

³And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

⁴Huan na pianna thu bel na pian niin nalaigui at ahi keia, chi nuh na tuak keia, tuam lum na hi sam kei.

⁴And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵Lainat dinga na tunga hiaite hih dingin kuamah mitin nang a honhehpih kei ua: gam laka paih khiak n ahita, na pian ni akipan kih-a om na hi ngala.

⁵None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

⁶Huan na kianga ka hongin sisana talin ka honmua, na kiangah, Sisan ah om lechin leng, hing in, ka hon chia: ahi, ka honchi ahi; sisan ah om mahle chin hing in.

⁶And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.

⁷Gam thil pakmum bangin ka honkhangsaka, na sam a hong hoiha; vuak leh vuaktang lel na hi lailaia.

⁷I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

⁸Huan na kianga ka hongpaia ka honetin, deihtak huai tham na honghi taa, ka puan ka honjawna, na vuaktang ka honkhuhta hi: ahi, na kiang ah ka kichiama, thukhun ah ka hon lutpiha, keia na hita hi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thupawt ahi.

⁸Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

⁹Huchiin tuiin ka honsila, ahi, na sisan ka honhih siangsa sisipa, sathau ka honnuh hi.

⁹Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

¹⁰Puan jemin ka honvana, sahamvun khedap ka honbunsaka, puan malngat hoihin ka honvana, sil puan ka honkhu sak hi.

¹⁰I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

¹¹Kizepna hoihin ka honjema, na khutah taute, na ngawngah dangkaeng khainiang te,

¹¹I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

¹²Na nakah nakbulhte, na bil ah bilbahte, na lu ah lallukhu hoih tak tein kahonjem hi.

¹²And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

¹³Huchiin dangkaeng leh dangkasika zephoih na hitaa, na puansilh te puan malngat hoih tak leh sil puan leh puan khui kilawm ahi a: na nek tangbuang nel leh khuaiju leh sathau ahi, na kilawm mahmah, kumpinu leng na ching ta hi.

¹³Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

¹⁴Na kilawmna namte lakah a thangkhia a, ka thupina kivanin na buchingta, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁴And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵Himahleh na kilawmna muang lua a, na min thanna na huk loha, mi vialvak peuhmah kiangah na hukna na tangphala, akua peuh.

¹⁵But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

¹⁶Na puansilhte suahin mun sangtena juna, huaiah kijuakin na panga, hichibang a om ngei nawn kei ding.

¹⁶And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁷Ka dangkaeng leh ka dangkasik tuiumbelsuan hoih taktak ka honpiak na laa, pasal lim bawlna dingin na zang, na huk pihta hi.

¹⁷Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

¹⁸Puansilh khui kilawmte na laa, amau na tuama, ka sathaute leh ka gimlimte a ma uah na tung hi.

¹⁸And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

¹⁹Ka hon tanghou piak leng ka tangbuang hoih leh sathau leh khuaiju ka honvakna sekte gimlim dingin a ma uah na luia; hichi a honghi ta, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁹My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁰Huailou leng na tanu, na tapa, na hon suansakte a kiang uah kithoihna dingin zat bei din na pia a: na hukna thil namai ahi ahia?

²⁰Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,

²¹Ka tate na thaha, meipia pai luta a kiang ua na latte?

²¹That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

²²Na kihhuaina leh na hukna tengtengahna naupang laia vuaktanga na om leh n asisana na tal maimah laite khawng na thei nawnta kei.

²²And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.

²³Huan hiai na thulimlouhna tengteng khitin leng, hichi a honghi a (na tung a gik hi: TOUPA PATHIANIN a chi ahi),

²³And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;)

²⁴Mun kiphoute na kibawlna, kongzing chiteng ah mun sangte nalamah

²⁴That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.

²⁵Lam lu tengah na mun sang na lama, na kilawmna kihhuaiin na bawla vialvak peuhmahte kiangah na kilem dawka, na hukna a uang semsem nak hi.

²⁵Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

²⁶Aigupta mi, na innveng, sami mahmah toh kingaihna khelhna leng na hihta; honheh sak dingin na hukna na uangsakta ahi.

²⁶Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.

²⁷Huaijiakin ngaiin, na tungah ka khut ka lika, na an ngeingei ka kiam saka, nang honmudah Philistia tanute, na hukdan zumpih mahmah seknute kiangah ututa a honbawl dingun ka honpeta hi,

²⁷Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.

²⁸Assuria mite kiangah leng na kijuaka, hun chih mahmah lah nei tel lou china; ahi, a kiang uah kijuakin na panga, na kham tuan sam kei hi.

²⁸Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.

²⁹Kanan gamah, Kaldai mite kiangah na hukna na uangsak lailaia, na kham tuan kei hi.

²⁹Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewith.

³⁰Nang lungtang seta namai e na tatdan numei genhak gilou mahmah mai thil na hiha, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

³⁰How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;

³¹Lam chih lua tanna buk na nabawlah te, kongzing chiha mun kidoh nabawl ah te loh na delh louh jiakin kijuak lel leng na hi kei hi.

³¹In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

³²Ji angkawm, pasalte sanga mi tuam deihzo nu:

³²But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!

³³Kijuak kiangah thil a pe sek ua, nang bel na lehpiak sek-a hondeihmi mi angah, gam chiha kipan a hongpai ua, a honluppih theihna ding un na nou zonak ahi.

³³They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

³⁴Huan na huk thu a kuamahin a honzot louh midang toh na kibatlouhna uh ahi; nang a man na pe zosopa, kuamahin man a honpiak louh uh na danna hi.

³⁴And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.

³⁵Huaijiakin aw mi huknu, TOUPA thu ngaiin:

³⁵Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

³⁶TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: na kihhuaina buak khiak a hiha, nangaihte toh na kithuahna lam ua na vuaktanna suklat ahih jiak leh na kihhuaina milim tengteng jiak leh a kiang ua na piak na tate sisan jiakin:

³⁶Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

³⁷Ngai in, nang honngaimi na nuamtatpihte tengteng leh na nangaih khitsa tengteng leh na muhdahte tengteng ka sam khawm dinga, he, na kimah ka pi khawm dinga, na vuaktanna tengteng a muh theihna ding un a kiang uah na vuaktanna ka hihlang ding.

³⁷Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

³⁸Huan numei pasal khena, amah ta sisan suah tung thu a bangin kon vaihawm khum ding; hehna leh mullitna sisan na tungah ka tungsak ding.

³⁸And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

³⁹A khut uah ka honpe dia, na mun kidohte a hihpuk ding ua, na mun sangte a chimsak ding ua; na puansilhte a suah ding ua, na suang mantamte a honsut ding ua, savuak leh vuaktangin a honnuse ding uhi.

³⁹And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

⁴⁰Na tungah mipi a kai khawm ding ua, suangin a honsep ding ua, namsauin a honkui pailet ding uh,

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

⁴¹Na inte meiin a hal ding ua, numei tampi mitmuhin na tungah vaihawmna a tangtungsak ding uh; na hukna ka tawpsak dinga, loh leng na pe ta kei ding.

⁴¹And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

⁴²Huchiin ka hehna na tangah ka lungdam sak ding, ka hon mullit na a daita ding, ka dai dide dia, ka heh ngei nawn kei ding.

⁴²So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³Na tuailai nite na theihgige louha, hiai thiltea na bonvuisak jawk jiakin ngaiin, na tatdan dan, na tungah ka tung ding, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi: huan na kihhuaina tengteng behlapin hiai hukna na hih nawn kei ding.

⁴³Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

⁴⁴Ngai in, paunak zang peuhmahin hiai paunak a zang ding uh, A tanin a nu a sun, chih.

⁴⁴Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵Na nu, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanu na hi a, ki tanauna lamah bel, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanu na hi a, ki tanauna lamah bel, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanau na hi: na nu lah Hit mi ahia, na pa lah Amor mi ahi.

⁴⁵Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶Huan, na tanau, na u bel Samari, na vei lama teng sek amah leh a tanute toh ahi uh; na tanau, na nau lah, na taklama teng sek Sodom leh a tanute ahi ua.

⁴⁶And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷Himahleh amau omdan na jui keia, a kihhuaina bang uh na hih kei naa, na omdan tengtenga na thulim louh jawkdan ngaihtuahin huaite bangmah tham ahi kei.

⁴⁷Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

⁴⁸A hina ka in sungteng, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, nang leh na taten a hih bang uh na tanau Sodom leh a tanuten leng a hih het kei uh.

⁴⁸As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

⁴⁹Na tanau Sodom thulimlouhna hiaite ahi: kisak theihnate, nek vah luatna te, amah leh a tanute nuamtat mawkmawk te ahi, mi gentheite leh tasamte a panpih tuan sam kei.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰Huan mi uang ahi ua, ka maa thil kihhuai hihsa ahi uh; huchiin hoih ka sak bangin ka hihmangta ahi.

⁵⁰And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵¹Samari in lah na khelhna kimkhat leng a hih sam kei; amau sanga na kihhuainate na nak hih jawk jiakin na hihsa na kihhuaina tengtengin na sangamnute siam na tang sak hi.

⁵¹Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

⁵²Na sanggamnute dikjawa na suklat jiakin nang mahin na zahlakna napuak ding ahi; amau sangin thil kihhuai uangjaw te na hiha, na khelhnate jiakin amau nang sangin a diktat jaw uhi; ahi, na sanggamnute siam na tansakna ah nang anen ahamin zahlakna na tang ding ahi.

⁵²Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

⁵³Huan a omdan uh, Sodom leh a tanu om dante, Samari leh a tanu omdan te, amaute toh tonin nang omdan mahmah ka hei ding.

⁵³When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

⁵⁴Amau dia lungmuanna na nahih seknaa na thilhihsa tengteng jiaka na zum theihna dingin.

⁵⁴That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

⁵⁵Huan na sanggamnute, Sodom leh a tanute, Samari leh a tanute a omdan uh masa bangin a om nawn ding ua; nang leh na tanu leng na omdan uh masa bangin na om nawn ding uh.

⁵⁵When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶Na thulimlouhna muh khiak a hih maa na kihihthupi nitein na sanggamnu Sodom na kamse khuahna ahi sek kei maw?

⁵⁶For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,

⁵⁷Tun jaw Suria tanu leh a kima mi tengteng, Philistia tanute na kima honsimmoh miten a hon-gense ek ta uhi.

⁵⁷Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

⁵⁸Na hukna leh na kihhuaina na po jel ahi, chih TOUPA thu pawt a hi

⁵⁸Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.

⁵⁹Huchiin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi: Thukhun bohsiain thuchiam na khawksak louhdan bang jelin na tungah ka hih tei sin ahi.

⁵⁹For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁶⁰Himahleh na naupanglaia na kianga ka thukhun ka theigige dinga, na kiangah khantawn thukhun ka bawl ding.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

⁶¹Huchiin na sanggamnute ka pom hun chiangin na omdan te na honthei khe dinga. na kizumpih ding: amau lah na tanu dingin ka honpia, na thukhun jiakbel hi louin.

⁶¹Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

⁶²Na kianga ka thukhun ka hihkip ding, TOUPA ka hi chih na theita ding uh.Na thilhih tengteng ka honngaihdam vek hun chianginna theihgigea na zum jiaka na kam kat mahmah nawn louhna dingin, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

⁶²And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:

⁶³Na thilhih tengteng ka honngaihdam vek hun chianginna theihgigea na zum jiaka na kam kat mahmah nawn louhna dingin, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

⁶³That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
