¹Huan, nang mihing tapa, namsau hiam mahmah la inla, n alu leh na khamul metna dingin lumetmi temin zang in; huan bukna la inla, sam khen in.

¹And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

²Seh thuma khena seh khat uma a om sung nite a bei hun chiangin khopi laia meiah na khul ding ahi a, sehthuma khena seh khat nawn na la dia, a kimah nam sauin na sat nen ding ahi; huan, seh thuma khena seh khat nawn huih mutleng dingin na theh jak ding ahi, ken namsauin ka delh jui ding.

²Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

³Huan tawmchik na la dia, na puannaktual mongah na tun ding ahi.

³Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

⁴Huan hiaiate na la dinga, meiah na theh lut ding ahi, a kang ding; huai akipanin Israel inkote tengteng ah mei a hongpawt ding, a chi a.

⁴Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

⁵TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Hiai Jerusalem khua ahi: namte lakah ka koiha, a kimah gamte a om hi.

⁵Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

⁶Huan namte sang nakpi jawn gitlouhna hihin ka thugel tungah a hela, a kima gamte sanga thupiin, ka dan bawl tungahte leng a hel ahi. Ka thugelte lah a pai khe ngala, ka dan bawlte banga leng a om sam kei hi.

⁶And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

⁷Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: Na kima namte sanga buai hatjawin na oma, ka dan bawl bangin na om keia, ka thugelte leng na jui sam kei ua, namte adia ka thusehte na hih sam louh jiak un, TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi:

⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

⁸Ngai un, kei nasanin leng ka honnang ahi, namte mitmuh ngeiin na lak uah vaihawmna ka tangtungsak sin hi;

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

⁹Huan na kihhuaina tengtengte uh jiakin thil ka hih ngei nai louh, hih leng ka hih ngei nawn louh ding na tunguah ka hih sin hi.

⁹And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

¹⁰Huchiin paten na sungah a tate uh a ne ding ua, taten leng a pate uh a ne ding uh; nanga mi om sun tengteng ka dalhsak vek ding.

¹⁰Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

¹¹Huchiin hiai TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi: Na nitna leh na kihhuainatea ka biakin na hihnit jiakin, a hina ka hin laiteng, ka honkiam sak dinga, ka mitin a honmaih het kei dinga, ka honhehpih sam kei ding hi.

¹¹Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

¹²Seh thuma khena seh khat hiin hiam, kialin hiam na lak uah a si ding uh; seh thuma khena seh khat nawn ka hihdalh dinga, namsauin ka delhjui ding.

¹²A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

¹³Hichibangin ka hehna ka tangtung sak dinga, a tunguah ka hehna ka lungdam sak dinga, ka om nuamta ding hi: huan kei TOUPAN a tung ua ka hehna ka lungdam sak hun chiangin phatuam ngaitakin ka genta chih a thei khe ding uh.

¹³Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

¹⁴Huailouin, na kima namte lakah leh vialvak tengtengte mitmuhin kho segawp leh simmohhuaiin ka honbawl ding hi.

¹⁴Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

¹⁵Huchiin, thangpai tak leh heh mahmaha, nakpia taihilha, na tung thugelte ka tunsak hunin na kima namte mitmuhin nuihsat leh kouna leh hilhna leh mulkimhuai na hi ding: Kei TOUPAN ka chi ta hi:

¹⁵So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.

¹⁶A tunguah kialna thaltang hoih lou tak manna ding, noumau manna ding ka honke sak ding; na tunguah kialna ka uang sak dinga, na an uh, hinna bul ka hihse ding hi.Huan na tunguah kialna leh gamsa hangte ka honsawl dinga, talenau tanin a honlaksak ding uhi; huan hipi leh sisan suahna na lak uah a leng ding; huan na tunguah namsau ka hon lek dinga, ken ka chita hi, chiin.

¹⁶When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

¹⁷Huan na tunguah kialna leh gamsa hangte ka honsawl dinga, talenau tanin a honlaksak ding uhi; huan hipi leh sisan suahna na lak uah a leng ding; huan na tunguah namsau ka hon lek dinga, ken ka chita hi, chiin.

¹⁷So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
