¹Huan, TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtunga, ka kiangah,

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

²Mihing tapa, Jerusalem maituah inla, a mun tante lam ngain na thu khah inla, Israel gam tungah thu gen in;

²Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

³Israel gam kiangah, hichiin TOUPAN a chi ahi: Ngaiin, ka hondou ahi, ka namsau a pai akipan ka phawi dinga, na lak ua mi diktat leh diktatlou kibangsapin ka phuk ding.

³And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

⁴Huchiin na lak ua mi diktat leh diktatlou ka phuk ding jiakin ka namsau a pai akipan a pawt dinga, sim lam akipan mal lam phain mihing tengteng a phuk ding hi.

⁴Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

⁵Huan, mi tengtengin, kei TOUPAN ka namsau a pai akipan ka phawi ahi chih a thei ding uh, a kikhum ngei nawnta kei ding hi.

⁵That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

⁶Huaijiakin nang mihing tapa, thum huthut inla khase takin a mit muh un thum in.

⁶Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

⁷Huan, Bang dia thum na hia? a honchih uleh, Thu thang jiakin ahi, a hontung sin ngala, huaihunin lungtang chiteng a jul dinga, khut tengteng a zo dinga, lungsim chiteng a bah dinga, khuk tengteng tui bangin a zo ding; ngaiin, a hongtung hi, a tangtun ding, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi; chi in, a chi a.

⁷And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

⁸Huan TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtunga, ka kianga

⁸Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁹Mihing tapa, thu gen inla, hichiin TOUPAN a chi ahi:

⁹Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

¹⁰Namsau, namsau tat-hiam ahita, tetsak ahi ta, mi satna dinga tat-hiam a hita, tetsak ahi, khophia bangin! I namsau lailai ding maw? ka tapa, chiang na simmoha, singa bawl peuhmah toh.

¹⁰It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.

¹¹Tetsak ahi, leh dingin, ahi namsau tathiam tetsak ahi, thatmi khuta tuang ding in.

¹¹And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

¹²Mihing tapa, kikou inla; sehalham inla, ka mite tungahi ngala; Israel mi lian tengtengte tung mahmah: piak ahi ua, ka mite toh, namsau nuaiah; huaijiak in kikou inla, na pheipi beng in.

¹²Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

¹³Hiai namsau midang tunga chiamtehsa ahi ngala, na ngaihsak kei hita leh bang suak ding-chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi hi.

¹³Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁴Huaijiakin nang, mihing tapa, khut beng hialin thu gen in; thaha om dingtea ding namsau nihvei liksukin om hen, ahi, thumvei; tampi thah nading namsau ahi hi:

¹⁴Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

¹⁵Lungtang zul, a pukna uh a pun nadingin, namsau te kong biang tengah ka giaksak hi; a! khopia bangin a te zolzol, sihna namsau.

¹⁵I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

¹⁶Nakpiin gamtangin, tak lamah, gamtangin vei lam ah leng van jel inla, na majawn peuhmah ah leng.

¹⁶Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

¹⁷Ken leng khut ka beng dinga, ka tangtun ngei ding, ka hehna, kei TOUPA hiai ka gent hi, a chi, chi in, a chi a.

¹⁷I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

¹⁸Huan TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtung nawna, ka kiangah,

¹⁸The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

¹⁹Mihing tapa, Babulon kumpipa namsau hongtun theihna dingin lampi nih nabawl in; huai lampi nihte gam khat akipanin a hongpawt khe ding uh ahi: lampi kawkmuhna bawl inla, khopi lutna khomual ah bawlin.

¹⁹Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

²⁰Lampi Ammon mite khua Rabbaha namsau hongtunna dingin sep inla, Juda gam lai Jerusalem kulh ah leng.

²⁰Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

²¹Aisan dingin Babulon kumpipa lampi ka ah a dinga, lampi nih kigawmna takah; thalte a sing loloka terephim a donga, sa sin a en a.

²¹For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

²²A aisanna a h a khut tak lamah Jerusalem a natuangta a, kulhsutsiatnate gal sual awng juajuate, kongpi jawa kulhsutsiatna te, mual pawng sunte, kulh bawlte toh.

²²At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

²³Aisan vuaksuak lel bang ahi a, himahleh mata a omna ding ua a thulimlouhna uh theih khiakna lel ding ahi.

²³And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

²⁴Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin achi ahi: na thulimlouhna uh theih gigena dia na bawl jiak un na tatleknate uh a hongkilang, na thilhih tengteng uah na khelhnate uh a kimu kilkela, theihkhiak na honghih tak jiak un khuta mat na honghi ding uhi.

²⁴Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

²⁵Huan, nang, Israel heutu, mi gilou si dinga liampa, na gitlouhna gawtna tawp ni a hongtung e;

²⁵And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

²⁶TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi: Heutu lukhu pahihsak unla, lallukhu suhsak un, hiai a ngeiin a om kei ding: mi vuallelte tawi sang unla, mi liante vuallel sak un:

²⁶Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

²⁷Ka lumlet ding, ka lumlet ding, ka lumlet ding; hiai leng a ngeiin a om kei ding, a neimi tak ding a hongpai mateng amah ka pe ding.

²⁷I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

²⁸Huan nang mihing tapa, thu gen inla, hichiin chi in: TOUPA PATHIANIN Ammon tate tungtangah leh a gensiatna thu uah hichiin a chi ahi: Namsau, namsau phawi a hita, mi thahna ding leh hihmanna ding khophia banga tetsak a hita.

²⁸And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

²⁹Kilakna taklou nang a honmu sak ua, juauin ai a honsan sak ua, Namsau bel mi gilou si dinga liam, a gitlouhna ni uh tawp hongtung dingte ngawng ah na golh sin, a honchih un a juau uh ahi.

²⁹Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.

³⁰A pai ah thun in, Na pianna siama na omna gam ngeiah na thu ka ngaihtuah ding.

³⁰Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

³¹Na tungah ka hehna ka sung dia, ka thangpaihna mei na tungah ka toh ding, mi nun se tak, hihman siam tak khutah ka honman sak ding.Meia sisan a bo ding, theih mahmah na hita kei ding, kei TOUPAN ka genta ngala, a chi, chi in, a chi a.

³¹And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

³²Meia sisan a bo ding, theih mahmah na hita kei ding, kei TOUPAN ka genta ngala, a chi, chi in, a chi a.

³²Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
