¹Nang mihing tapa, teklei pek la inla, na maah koih in, huai tungah khopi Jerusalem khopi lim bawl in.

¹You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:

²Huan a kima umin kulh khoh khum inla, mual pawng bawl khumin sepaih giahbukte bawl khum inla, kulh suk siatnate a kimin bawl khumin.

²and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.

³Huan nang sikpek la inla, nang mah leh khopi kikalah sik bang dingin tungin; huai lam masuan inla, umin a omdinga, nangmahin na um ding ahi. Huai Israel inkote adia etsak kholhna ahi ding.

³Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

⁴Huan nang bel na veilam pang delhin lum inla, a tungah Israel inkote gitlouhna nga in; a tunga nalup sung ni zah bang jel a gitlouhna uh n apuak ahi ding hi.

⁴Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

⁵A gitlouhna kumte uh nanga dinga nite hi dingin lah ka septa ngala, ni za thum leh ni sawmkua ding: Huchibangin Israel inkote gitlouhna na po ding ahi.

⁵For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

⁶Huan hiaite na khit hun chiangin na taklam pang delhin na lum leuleu dia, Juda inkote gitlouhna na po ding: ni sawmli nang din ka sepa, ni khat kum khat jel hi dingin.

⁶Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.

⁷Ban lem bebotin Jerusalem um lam nga inla, a tungthu gen khia in.

⁷You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

⁸Huan ngaiin, khauhualin ka honkhuha, na um ni na khit masiah koi lamah leng na kihei ding ahi kei hi.

⁸Behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.

⁹Buh te, buhman te, be te, behiang te, vai buhman te la inla, bel khatah koih inla, tanghouin bawlin; na pangkhat delha na lup sung teng, ni za thum leh saawmkua sung, huai tuh na ne ding ahi.

⁹Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.

¹⁰Na ann nek ding teh vek ding ahi, nikhatin shekel sawmnih ahi ding ahi: hunbi nei takin na ne ding hi.

¹⁰Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

¹¹Huan tuite leng teh vekin na dawn ding ahi, hin khat seh guk suaha seh khat ahi ding ahi, hunbi nei takin na dawn ding ahi.

¹¹You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

¹²Huan a mit muh ngei un mihing ek toh na kang dinga, buhman tanghou nekin na ne ding ahi, a chi a.

¹²You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

¹³Huan TOUPAN, Hichibang an thanghuai Israel taten ka delh mang na ding namte lakah a ne ding uh, a chi a.

¹³Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.

¹⁴Huan ken. A! TOUPA PATHIAN, Ngai dih, ka hin hihnit ahi ngei keia, ka tuailai akipan tutanin leng, amah siha si hiam, gamsa keih hiam lah ka ne ngei nai ngal keia, sa kihhuai ka kamah leng a lut ngei nai sam kei hi, ka chi a.

¹⁴Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

¹⁵Huan aman ka kiangah En in mihing ek sikin bawng ek ka hon pia, nek dingte hiaitein na bawl ding hi, a chi a.

¹⁵Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.

¹⁶Huailou leng ka kiangah, aman, Mihing tapa, ngai dih, Jerusalem ah, an hinna bul ka hihse dinga, a ann uh teh vekin lauthawng takin a nei ding uh; tui leng teh vekin, lungkhamtakin a dawn ding uh;An te, tui te tasama, lungkhamtaka ki-entuaha, a gitlouhna ua a thammang khitna ding un.

¹⁶Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

¹⁷An te, tui te tasama, lungkhamtaka ki-entuaha, a gitlouhna ua a thammang khitna ding un.

¹⁷that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
