1Huan TOUPA thu kiangah a hongtunga.
1The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2Mihing tapa, gammang nuaia sing laka Grep gui sing dang sangin bang ahi aleh?
2Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3A sing thil bawlna dia zat ahi hia? Tuium-belsuan khaina dingin leng kuan a zang ngei aleh?
3Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4Ngaiin, meia paih lut ahi seka, toh dinga: mein a kang mang, a mong langnih, a kang khin mai sem, a laiah: a nei him ahia, phattuamna?
4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work?
5Ngaiin, a phatuam kei, abit lai nangawnin: phatuam sinkei na tele, a kat khit nungin.
5Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!
6Huaijiakin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi: gam nuai sing laka grep guite, toh dingin meiah ka khul mai mah bangin, Jerusalem luahmite ka bawl ding.
6Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7Amau ka masuan dinga, pawt mah le uh, meia kipan, a kang bei himhim ding, meiin, TOUPA ka hi chih a thei ding ua, amaute ka masuan hun chiangin.Ka hihgawp sing ngei hi, a gam uh, thulimlouhna ahih jiak un chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi hi, chiin.
7I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.
8Ka hihgawp sing ngei hi, a gam uh, thulimlouhna ahih jiak un chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi hi, chiin.
8I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord Yahweh.
