¹Huchiin bila ka jakin, Khopi kemmite mi chih hihmanna van tawiin hongnai uhen, chiin ngaihtakin a kikou a.

¹Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

²Huan ngai in, mallam kongpi tungnung paina akipanin mi guk a hongpai ua, mi chihin hihlupna van a tawi chiat ua; huan alai ua mi khat puan malngat silhin laituibuk a kuah hi. Huan a lut ua, dal maitam chinah a ding uhi.

²Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in their midst clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

³Huan Israelte Pathian thupina a omna cherub akipanin huai in kongpi chinah a pai toua; huan, puan malngat silh, laituibuk kuahpa a sama.

³The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.

⁴Huan TOUPAN a kiangah, Khopi phang inla, Jerusalem phang suakin; a sunga thil kihhuai hihsate jiaka tunggika kap sekte a tal uah chiamtehin, a chi a.

⁴Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst.

⁵Huan mi dangte kiangah ka jak mahmahin, A nungah khopi phang suak unla, khut kha un, na mit un muh maih kei henla, hehpih sam kei un.

⁵To the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, and strike: don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity;

⁶Putek te, tangval te, nungak te, naupangte leh nute that siang vek un. Chiamtehna neite bel honnaih kei uh; ka mun siangthou ah pan un, a chi a. Huchiin, biakinn konga upate in a panta uhi.

⁶kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

⁷Huan, aman ka kingah, In hihbuah unla, a um sung te mi luangin dimsak unla: pawt un, a chi a. Huan, a pawtta ua, khopi ah a gamtang ta uh.

⁷He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! They went forth, and struck in the city.

⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, khopi ah a gamtat lai un kei bel nutsiatin ka naoma, a khupin ka puka. Aw TOUPA PATHIAN, Jerusalem tunga na heh sun buak ah Israel om sunte leng na hihmang vek sin ahia? chiin ka kikou a.

⁸It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?

⁹Huchiin aman ka kiangah, Israel leh Juda inkote thulimlouhna a thupi tela ahi. Gam sisanin a dima: TOUPAN bangmah a mu sama! a chi ngal ua.

⁹Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.

¹⁰Ken leng ka muh maih kei dinga, ka hehpih sam kei ding hi; a gitlouh uh a buk a bekin amau ka khusak ding, a chi a.Huan ngai in, puan malngat silha laituibuk kuahpan thu a tuna, Na honthu piak bangin ka hihkhinta, a chi a.

¹⁰As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.

¹¹Huan ngai in, puan malngat silha laituibuk kuahpan thu a tuna, Na honthu piak bangin ka hihkhinta, a chi a.

¹¹Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
