¹TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtung nawna,

¹Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²Mihing tapa, Jerusalem a kihhuainate theikhe sak kiangah,

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

³TOUPA PATHIANIN Jerusalem kiangah hichiin a chi ahi: Na pawtna gam leh na pianna gam Kanan mite gamahi a, na pa Amor mi ahi a, na nu Hit mi ahi.

³and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

⁴Huan na pianna thu bel na pian niin nalaigui at ahi keia, chi nuh na tuak keia, tuam lum na hi sam kei.

⁴As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵Lainat dinga na tunga hiaite hih dingin kuamah mitin nang a honhehpih kei ua: gam laka paih khiak n ahita, na pian ni akipan kih-a om na hi ngala.

⁵No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

⁶Huan na kianga ka hongin sisana talin ka honmua, na kiangah, Sisan ah om lechin leng, hing in, ka hon chia: ahi, ka honchi ahi; sisan ah om mahle chin hing in.

⁶When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

⁷Gam thil pakmum bangin ka honkhangsaka, na sam a hong hoiha; vuak leh vuaktang lel na hi lailaia.

⁷I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁸Huan na kianga ka hongpaia ka honetin, deihtak huai tham na honghi taa, ka puan ka honjawna, na vuaktang ka honkhuhta hi: ahi, na kiang ah ka kichiama, thukhun ah ka hon lutpiha, keia na hita hi, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thupawt ahi.

⁸Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁹Huchiin tuiin ka honsila, ahi, na sisan ka honhih siangsa sisipa, sathau ka honnuh hi.

⁹Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

¹⁰Puan jemin ka honvana, sahamvun khedap ka honbunsaka, puan malngat hoihin ka honvana, sil puan ka honkhu sak hi.

¹⁰I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹¹Kizepna hoihin ka honjema, na khutah taute, na ngawngah dangkaeng khainiang te,

¹¹I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹²Na nakah nakbulhte, na bil ah bilbahte, na lu ah lallukhu hoih tak tein kahonjem hi.

¹²I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹³Huchiin dangkaeng leh dangkasika zephoih na hitaa, na puansilh te puan malngat hoih tak leh sil puan leh puan khui kilawm ahi a: na nek tangbuang nel leh khuaiju leh sathau ahi, na kilawm mahmah, kumpinu leng na ching ta hi.

¹³Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

¹⁴Na kilawmna namte lakah a thangkhia a, ka thupina kivanin na buchingta, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁴Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵Himahleh na kilawmna muang lua a, na min thanna na huk loha, mi vialvak peuhmah kiangah na hukna na tangphala, akua peuh.

¹⁵But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

¹⁶Na puansilhte suahin mun sangtena juna, huaiah kijuakin na panga, hichibang a om ngei nawn kei ding.

¹⁶You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁷Ka dangkaeng leh ka dangkasik tuiumbelsuan hoih taktak ka honpiak na laa, pasal lim bawlna dingin na zang, na huk pihta hi.

¹⁷You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

¹⁸Puansilh khui kilawmte na laa, amau na tuama, ka sathaute leh ka gimlimte a ma uah na tung hi.

¹⁸and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

¹⁹Ka hon tanghou piak leng ka tangbuang hoih leh sathau leh khuaiju ka honvakna sekte gimlim dingin a ma uah na luia; hichi a honghi ta, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

¹⁹My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

²⁰Huailou leng na tanu, na tapa, na hon suansakte a kiang uah kithoihna dingin zat bei din na pia a: na hukna thil namai ahi ahia?

²⁰Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

²¹Ka tate na thaha, meipia pai luta a kiang ua na latte?

²¹that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

²²Na kihhuaina leh na hukna tengtengahna naupang laia vuaktanga na om leh n asisana na tal maimah laite khawng na thei nawnta kei.

²²In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

²³Huan hiai na thulimlouhna tengteng khitin leng, hichi a honghi a (na tung a gik hi: TOUPA PATHIANIN a chi ahi),

²³It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

²⁴Mun kiphoute na kibawlna, kongzing chiteng ah mun sangte nalamah

²⁴that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

²⁵Lam lu tengah na mun sang na lama, na kilawmna kihhuaiin na bawla vialvak peuhmahte kiangah na kilem dawka, na hukna a uang semsem nak hi.

²⁵You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

²⁶Aigupta mi, na innveng, sami mahmah toh kingaihna khelhna leng na hihta; honheh sak dingin na hukna na uangsakta ahi.

²⁶You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

²⁷Huaijiakin ngaiin, na tungah ka khut ka lika, na an ngeingei ka kiam saka, nang honmudah Philistia tanute, na hukdan zumpih mahmah seknute kiangah ututa a honbawl dingun ka honpeta hi,

²⁷See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

²⁸Assuria mite kiangah leng na kijuaka, hun chih mahmah lah nei tel lou china; ahi, a kiang uah kijuakin na panga, na kham tuan sam kei hi.

²⁸You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.

²⁹Kanan gamah, Kaldai mite kiangah na hukna na uangsak lailaia, na kham tuan kei hi.

²⁹You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.

³⁰Nang lungtang seta namai e na tatdan numei genhak gilou mahmah mai thil na hiha, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

³⁰How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

³¹Lam chih lua tanna buk na nabawlah te, kongzing chiha mun kidoh nabawl ah te loh na delh louh jiakin kijuak lel leng na hi kei hi.

³¹in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

³²Ji angkawm, pasalte sanga mi tuam deihzo nu:

³²A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!

³³Kijuak kiangah thil a pe sek ua, nang bel na lehpiak sek-a hondeihmi mi angah, gam chiha kipan a hongpai ua, a honluppih theihna ding un na nou zonak ahi.

³³They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

³⁴Huan na huk thu a kuamahin a honzot louh midang toh na kibatlouhna uh ahi; nang a man na pe zosopa, kuamahin man a honpiak louh uh na danna hi.

³⁴You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

³⁵Huaijiakin aw mi huknu, TOUPA thu ngaiin:

³⁵Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:

³⁶TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi ahi: na kihhuaina buak khiak a hiha, nangaihte toh na kithuahna lam ua na vuaktanna suklat ahih jiak leh na kihhuaina milim tengteng jiak leh a kiang ua na piak na tate sisan jiakin:

³⁶Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

³⁷Ngai in, nang honngaimi na nuamtatpihte tengteng leh na nangaih khitsa tengteng leh na muhdahte tengteng ka sam khawm dinga, he, na kimah ka pi khawm dinga, na vuaktanna tengteng a muh theihna ding un a kiang uah na vuaktanna ka hihlang ding.

³⁷therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

³⁸Huan numei pasal khena, amah ta sisan suah tung thu a bangin kon vaihawm khum ding; hehna leh mullitna sisan na tungah ka tungsak ding.

³⁸I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

³⁹A khut uah ka honpe dia, na mun kidohte a hihpuk ding ua, na mun sangte a chimsak ding ua; na puansilhte a suah ding ua, na suang mantamte a honsut ding ua, savuak leh vuaktangin a honnuse ding uhi.

³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

⁴⁰Na tungah mipi a kai khawm ding ua, suangin a honsep ding ua, namsauin a honkui pailet ding uh,

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

⁴¹Na inte meiin a hal ding ua, numei tampi mitmuhin na tungah vaihawmna a tangtungsak ding uh; na hukna ka tawpsak dinga, loh leng na pe ta kei ding.

⁴¹They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

⁴²Huchiin ka hehna na tangah ka lungdam sak ding, ka hon mullit na a daita ding, ka dai dide dia, ka heh ngei nawn kei ding.

⁴²So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³Na tuailai nite na theihgige louha, hiai thiltea na bonvuisak jawk jiakin ngaiin, na tatdan dan, na tungah ka tung ding, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi: huan na kihhuaina tengteng behlapin hiai hukna na hih nawn kei ding.

⁴³Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

⁴⁴Ngai in, paunak zang peuhmahin hiai paunak a zang ding uh, A tanin a nu a sun, chih.

⁴⁴Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵Na nu, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanu na hi a, ki tanauna lamah bel, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanu na hi a, ki tanauna lamah bel, amah pasal leh tate mudahnu tanau na hi: na nu lah Hit mi ahia, na pa lah Amor mi ahi.

⁴⁵You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶Huan, na tanau, na u bel Samari, na vei lama teng sek amah leh a tanute toh ahi uh; na tanau, na nau lah, na taklama teng sek Sodom leh a tanute ahi ua.

⁴⁶Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷Himahleh amau omdan na jui keia, a kihhuaina bang uh na hih kei naa, na omdan tengtenga na thulim louh jawkdan ngaihtuahin huaite bangmah tham ahi kei.

⁴⁷Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing , you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

⁴⁸A hina ka in sungteng, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi, nang leh na taten a hih bang uh na tanau Sodom leh a tanuten leng a hih het kei uh.

⁴⁸As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

⁴⁹Na tanau Sodom thulimlouhna hiaite ahi: kisak theihnate, nek vah luatna te, amah leh a tanute nuamtat mawkmawk te ahi, mi gentheite leh tasamte a panpih tuan sam kei.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰Huan mi uang ahi ua, ka maa thil kihhuai hihsa ahi uh; huchiin hoih ka sak bangin ka hihmangta ahi.

⁵⁰They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵¹Samari in lah na khelhna kimkhat leng a hih sam kei; amau sanga na kihhuainate na nak hih jawk jiakin na hihsa na kihhuaina tengtengin na sangamnute siam na tang sak hi.

⁵¹Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

⁵²Na sanggamnute dikjawa na suklat jiakin nang mahin na zahlakna napuak ding ahi; amau sangin thil kihhuai uangjaw te na hiha, na khelhnate jiakin amau nang sangin a diktat jaw uhi; ahi, na sanggamnute siam na tansakna ah nang anen ahamin zahlakna na tang ding ahi.

⁵²You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

⁵³Huan a omdan uh, Sodom leh a tanu om dante, Samari leh a tanu omdan te, amaute toh tonin nang omdan mahmah ka hei ding.

⁵³I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;

⁵⁴Amau dia lungmuanna na nahih seknaa na thilhihsa tengteng jiaka na zum theihna dingin.

⁵⁴that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

⁵⁵Huan na sanggamnute, Sodom leh a tanute, Samari leh a tanute a omdan uh masa bangin a om nawn ding ua; nang leh na tanu leng na omdan uh masa bangin na om nawn ding uh.

⁵⁵Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶Na thulimlouhna muh khiak a hih maa na kihihthupi nitein na sanggamnu Sodom na kamse khuahna ahi sek kei maw?

⁵⁶For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

⁵⁷Tun jaw Suria tanu leh a kima mi tengteng, Philistia tanute na kima honsimmoh miten a hon-gense ek ta uhi.

⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

⁵⁸Na hukna leh na kihhuaina na po jel ahi, chih TOUPA thu pawt a hi

⁵⁸You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.

⁵⁹Huchiin TOUPA PATHIANIN hichiin a chi: Thukhun bohsiain thuchiam na khawksak louhdan bang jelin na tungah ka hih tei sin ahi.

⁵⁹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁶⁰Himahleh na naupanglaia na kianga ka thukhun ka theigige dinga, na kiangah khantawn thukhun ka bawl ding.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

⁶¹Huchiin na sanggamnute ka pom hun chiangin na omdan te na honthei khe dinga. na kizumpih ding: amau lah na tanu dingin ka honpia, na thukhun jiakbel hi louin.

⁶¹Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

⁶²Na kianga ka thukhun ka hihkip ding, TOUPA ka hi chih na theita ding uh.Na thilhih tengteng ka honngaihdam vek hun chianginna theihgigea na zum jiaka na kam kat mahmah nawn louhna dingin, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

⁶²I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;

⁶³Na thilhih tengteng ka honngaihdam vek hun chianginna theihgigea na zum jiaka na kam kat mahmah nawn louhna dingin, chih TOUPA PATHIAN thu pawt ahi.

⁶³that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.
