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

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

²Huan, nang mihing tapa, sisan suah hat khopi na lang sin ahia? na lang sin ahia? a kihhuaina tengteng theisak dih ve:

²Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

³Huan a kiang uah, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: khopi, a hun hongtunna dinga amah sunga sisan suah leh amah kihihnin dinga milim bawl:

³Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

⁴Na sisan suahna ah mohna na pua a, na milim bawl ah na kihihnin ahi; na hunte na naisaka, na kumte na tung phialphiala; huaijiakin namte kiangah gen siat ding leh gam tengteng engbawl dingin ka honbawl ahi.

⁴Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

⁵Na naiha mi leh na gamlata miten a honsimmoh dingua, nang, min siat pua leh buainaa dim mi:

⁵Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

⁶Ngai in, Israel heutute mi chihin a thilhihtheihna bang jel ua sisan suah mai dingin nangmah ah a om uh ahi.

⁶Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

⁷Nang ah min nu leh pa te a musit ua, nang ah mikhualte a nuaisiah ua, nang ah tagahte leh meithaite a mawkbawl uh.

⁷In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

⁸Ka thil tante na musita, ka khawlnite na bohsia a.

⁸Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

⁹Nang ah sisan suah dingin mi hekhathatte a om ua, nang ah tangsanga nete a om ua, nang ah hukna a ching uh.

⁹In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

¹⁰Nang ah a pate uh vuaktanna lem sak a om ua, nang ah numei kizen louh lai luppih a om uh.

¹⁰In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

¹¹Huan min a innveng ji tungah thil kihhuai a hiha, mi dangin huk takin a mou a hihnina, mi dangin nang ah a sanggamnu, a pa tanu ngei a zahlaksak a.

¹¹And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

¹²Nang ah sisan suah dingin golhna a la ua, a nou leh a pung na laa; na inveng nuaisiahin huaiham takin na lepguk sak seka; kei mahmah leng na honmangngilha, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹²In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

¹³Huaijiakin, ngaiin, na na lepgukna thu ahte, nanga sisan pawt thu ah te khut ka honbet khum ding.

¹³Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

¹⁴Nang ka honsual ni chiangin na lungtangin a thuak zouin na khut a hat thei sin ahia? Kei TOUPA ngeiin ka gentaa, ka hih lai ding.

¹⁴Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

¹⁵Huan nam lakah ka hon hihdalh ding, gam chih ah kahon thehjak ding; nanga kipanin na nitnate ka hihmang vek ding.

¹⁵And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

¹⁶Namte mitmuhin nangmah kihihnin na hi ding, huan, TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding, a chi, chi in, a chi a.

¹⁶And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

¹⁷Huan TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtunga, ka kiangah,

¹⁷And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁸Mihing tapa, Israel inkote ei adingin ek sia lel a honghita ua; a vek un haltuina mei laiah dalte, langvate, sikte, suante ahi uh, dangkasik ek sia lel ahita uh.

¹⁸Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

¹⁹Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Ek sia lel na honghih jiak un, ngai un, Jerusalem laiah ka honkhawm ahi.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

²⁰Dangkasikte, dalte, sikte, suante, langvate haltuina meia a koih khawm ua, tuisak dinga a tunga mei a toh bang un ka hehna leh ka thangpaihna ah nou ka honkhawm ding, huaiah ka hon koih dinga, ka hontui sak ding.

²⁰As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.

²¹A hi, ka honkhawm dinga, na tunguah ka hehna mei ka toh dinga, a laiah na tui khin ding uh.

²¹Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.

²²Haltuina mei laia dangkasik a tui bangin nou leng, huai laiah na tui khin ding uh, kei TOUPAN na tunguah kahehna ka sung ahi chih na theita ding uh, achia.

²²As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

²³Huan, TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtunga, ka kiangah, Mihing tapa, a kiangah gen inla.

²³And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²⁴Gam khuah siang louh nahi, hehna ni chia vuahtui tang lou.

²⁴Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

²⁵Humpinelkai in humhama a samat a zong bang maiin nangah jawlnei sawmnate a om ahi: mi hinnate a ne khin ua, goute leh thil manphate alaksak ua, a laiah meithai tampi a bawl uh.

²⁵There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

²⁶A siampute leng nakpi takin ka dan ah a talek ua, ka thil tante a hihnin uh ahi, thiltante leh thil namai himhim a khen kei ua, mite lah thil siangthou leh siangthou lou a khen tuan sak sam kei uh; ka lak uah hihminsiatin ka om hi.

²⁶Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

²⁷A laia heutute lah nge duh gawl nek ding zong bang lel ahi ua, sisan suaha mi hinnate hihmangin ginomlou taka alep theihna ding un.

²⁷Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

²⁸Huan, a jawlneiten sunuin bang a nuh ua, kilakna bangmahlou lel a mu ua, juauin ai a san ua, TOUPAN bangmah a gen louhin leng, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi, a chi sek uh.

²⁸And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

²⁹Gama mipiten nuaisiah a chingua, loh a hat ua, ahi, mi genthei leh tasamte a mawkbawl ua, dik lou takin mikhualte a nuaisiah nak uhi.

²⁹The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

³⁰Gam ka hih siat louhna dingin a lak ua dai kai ding leh gam huma ka maa pang ding mi ka zonga, lah ka mu kei hi.Huaijiakin a tunguah ka hehna ka sung botaa, ka thangpaihnain meiin ka hal mangta ahi; a om dan ngei uh a tunguah ka thangpaihnain meiin ka hal mangta ahi; a om dan ngei uh a tunguah ka tungsak ahi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, chi in, a chi a. 23 AHOLAH LEH AHOLIBAH HUKNA GENTEHNAIN NAMDANG ZOP GENSIAT

³⁰And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

³¹Huaijiakin a tunguah ka hehna ka sung botaa, ka thangpaihnain meiin ka hal mangta ahi; a om dan ngei uh a tunguah ka thangpaihnain meiin ka hal mangta ahi; a om dan ngei uh a tunguah ka tungsak ahi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, chi in, a chi a. 23 AHOLAH LEH AHOLIBAH HUKNA GENTEHNAIN NAMDANG ZOP GENSIAT

³¹Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
