¹Huan nang mihing tapa, Israel tangte kiang ah thu gen inla, Nou Israel tangte aw, TOUPA thu ngaikhia un. TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi:

¹Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

²Na tungah na melmate'n, Ahah: nidang munsang tengtengte keia a hita, a chih jiak un thu gen inla,

²Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

³TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Nam om sunte a dinga kil chiha nang a honnek ua, a hon sukgawp jiak un leh mi kamtamte houlimna leh gensiata a hon omsak jiak un:

³Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

⁴Nou Israel tangte aw, TOUPA PATHIAN thu ngaikhia un, TOUPA PATHIANIN tangte, mualte, luiguamte, guamte, leh mun sesate, khopi kigawpsa, a kima nam om sunte samat lel ding leh nuihsan dingte kiangah hichiin a chi ahi:

⁴Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

⁵Huaijiak in TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Nam om sun leh Edom tengteng lungsim kipak tak a ka gam na nakiseh tawm ua; na honmusit mahmah ua, gallaka bawl mite tungah ka mullitna thangpaih mahmah in thu ka gen ngei ahi.

⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

⁶Huaijiak in Israel gam tungthu ah thu gen inla, tangte, mualte, luiguamte leh guamte kiangah TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: ngai un, namdangte simmohna na thuak jiak un mullit mahmah leh thangpai tak in thu ka gen ahi:

⁶Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

⁷Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Na kim a namten amau zahlakna a po ngei ding uh chiin ka khut ka jak hi.

⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

⁸Nou bel, Aw Israel tangte aw, hiang na suah ding ua, ka mi Israelte adin gah na suah ding uh; a hongpai mai ngal sin ua.

⁸But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

⁹Ngai un, nou lama pang ka hi ngala, nou lam ka nga dinga, git nawiin na om ding ua, chi tuhin na om lai ding uhi.

⁹For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

¹⁰Na tunguah mihing ka pung sak dinga, Israel inkote tengteng, a vek un leng: mun sesate bawl phatin a om dinga, khopite luah in a om ding.

¹⁰And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

¹¹Na tunguah mi leh sa ka pungsak dinga, a pung un a lamzang ding uh: Na omdan masa bang in luahin ka honomsak dinga, atunga na omdan sang ua hoihin ka hon bawl ding hi: huchiin kei TOUPA ka hi chih na thei ding uh.

¹¹And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

¹²A hi, na tunguah mi ka vak sak dinga, ka mi Israelte ngei; a hon luah ding ua, a goutan uh na hi dinga, tuban siah a tate uh na tansak ngei nawn kei ding hi.

¹²Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

¹³Hichiin TOUPA PATHIANIN a chi ahi: Nang mihingte ne mang, na mite tan sek na hi a honchih sek jiak un,

¹³Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:

¹⁴mihingte na ne bei nawnta kei dinga, na mite leng na tan ngei nawn sam kei ding, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi;

¹⁴Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵pautuam mite muhsitna ka honthuak sak nawn kei dinga, mite gensiat na thuak ngei nawn sam kei ding; na mite na tan ngei nawn samkei ding, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, chi in, a chi a.

¹⁵Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁶Huan TOUPA thu ka kiang ah a hongtung nawn a,

¹⁶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁷Mihing tapa, Israel inkote amau gama a ten lai un a om dan u leh a thilhihte un a kihihnin ua; ka maa a omdan uh numei kizen louh laia a sianthou louhna bang mai ahi.

¹⁷Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

¹⁸Huaijiak in gam tungah sisan a suah ua, a milimte ua a kihihnit jiak un a tunguah ka hehna ka lungdam saka.

¹⁸Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

¹⁹Namte lakah ka dalh saka, gam chih ah a thehthangta ua: a om dan uh leh a thilhihte uh bang jelin a tung thu uh ka gensak a.

¹⁹And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

²⁰A vahohna namte kiang a tun un ka min siangthou a hihbuah ua; mite'n, Hiaite TOUPA mite ahi ua, gam akipan hongpawt khia ahi uh, a na chihna nak uah.

²⁰And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

²¹Himahleh Israel inkote'n a vahohna namte lak a a hihbuah uh, ka min siangthou ka lainat ahi.

²¹But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

²²Huaijiak in Israel inkote kiang ah, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Aw, Israel inkote, noute ka honlainat jiak hilouin, na vahohna namte laka na hihbuah uh, ka min siangthou ka lainat jiak jawin hiai ka hih ahi.

²²Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

²³Ka min thupitak, namte laka buah, a lak ua noumau ngeia hihbuah ka siangthousak sin ahi; huchiin a mitmuh ua noutea hihsiangthou a ka om hun chiangin TOUPA ka hi chih a thei ding uh, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

²³And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

²⁴Namte laka kipan ka hon pikhe dinga, gam tengtenga kipan ka hon kai khawm dinga, na gam mahmah uah ka hon pilut sin ahi ngal a.

²⁴For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

²⁵Huan na tunguah tuichim ka theh dinga, na hongsiangthou ding ua, na nitna tengteng uh leh na milimte lak ua kipan ka hon khuah siang ding.

²⁵Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

²⁶Lungtang thak ka hon pe dia, na sung uah kha thak ka koih ding: na sa ua kipan lungtang suang bang a sak ka la mang dinga, lungtang sa bang a nip ka hon pe zo ding hi.

²⁶A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

²⁷Huan na sung uah ka kha ka koih dinga, ka dan bawlah ka hon vaksak ding a, ka thupiakte na kem ding ua, na zui ding uh.

²⁷And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

²⁸Na pipute uh kianga ka piak gamah na teng ding uh; huan, nou ka mite na hi ding ua, kei na Pathian uh ka hi ding.

²⁸And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²⁹Na nitna tengteng ua kipan ka hon hunkhe dinga, huan buhlehbal ka sam dinga ka hon pungsak ding, na tunguah kial a ke nawnkei ding hi.

²⁹I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

³⁰Sing gahte ka pungsak dinga, louma ka pungsak dinga, kial jiaka namte lak a zahlakna na thuakta kei ding uh.

³⁰And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

³¹Huchiin na omdan giloute uh, na thilhih hoihloute uh na honthei gige ding ua, na kihhuaina uh leh na thulimlouhna ujiakin noumau mitmuh mahmah in na kih ta ding uhi.

³¹Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

³²Nou jiak ahiai hih ka hikei chih na nathei mai un, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi. Aw, Israel inkote aw, na omdan jiak un zum unla, lamdang sa un.

³²Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

³³Na thulimlouhna tengteng ua kipan ka honkhuah siang ni chiangin, khopite ka luah nawn sak dinga, mun sesa ka bawl nawn ding.

³³Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

³⁴Huan gam sesa lehin a om dinga, tumalama mi vialvakte mitmuh a sesa nung himahleh.

³⁴And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

³⁵Huan, hiai gam sesa nung Eden huan bang mai a honghi nawnta, a chi ding uh; huan khopi sia a, na nakigawpsate luah leh umin a om nawnta.

³⁵And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

³⁶Huan na kim ua nam omlaiten kei TOUPAN mun siate ka bawl nawna, gam nanasekhinsa ka hihhoih nawnta chih a thei ding uh: kei TOUPA ka pautaa, ka hih ngei ding.

³⁶Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

³⁷Huan TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Huailouinleng hiai Israel inkote ka honding sak dinga; gan hon bangmai a a mite uh hih pung ding in.Kithoihna ding gan hon, a ankuanglui sehsaa Jerusalem gan honte bang maiin; huchi bang in khopi sesa nung mipi tampiin a hongdim ding; huchiin kei TOUPA ka hi chih a thei ding uh, a chi a.

³⁷Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

³⁸Kithoihna ding gan hon, a ankuanglui sehsaa Jerusalem gan honte bang maiin; huchi bang in khopi sesa nung mipi tampiin a hongdim ding; huchiin kei TOUPA ka hi chih a thei ding uh, a chi a.

³⁸As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
