¹Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

¹Ka itluat thu, a grep huan tungtang thu, ka itluat adingin lain ka sata mai ding. ka itluatin tang lei hoih mahmahah grep huan a neia:

²He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress therein. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

²A kimvelin lei a tou kuaka, a suangte a tom sianga, grep gui hoih pen a suana, a laiah in sang alama, huailaiah grep sukna khuk leng a tou a: huchiin, grep gaha gah dingin a lamena, ahihhangin grep taklou a honggah maimah.

³“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.

³Tuin, Jerusalem omte leh Juda mite aw, hehpihtakin kei leh ka grep huan kala thu honngaihtuah dih ve ua.

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

⁴Tua grep huanah ka hihsa akanaval a tungah hih nawnlai lai ding bang bang om a hita maia? Bangjiakin ahia, grep gaha gah dinga ka lametet toh, grep taklou-a gah maimah?

⁵Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.

⁵Tuin ngai un, ka grep huan tungah ka hih ding ka honhilh ding: a ling dai ka la mang dinga, nek gaihin a om ding; a suang dai ka chim sak dinga, sikdenin a om ding:

⁶I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”

⁶Huan, ka hihse vek dinga; sat nouin om ken chin, tohvuiin leng om sam ken teh; loulingnei leh khau lingneite a pou zo ding: meite leng a tunga vuah himhim zu sak lou dingin thu ka pe ding hi.

⁷For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.

⁷Sepaihte TOUPA grep huan tuh Israel inkuanpihte ahi a, Juda mite lah a kung deihhuai tak ahi ngal ua; vaihawmna diktat a lemena; a hihhangin, ngaiin, nuaisiahna a hongom zota ahi: diktatna a lemena, a hihhangin, ngaiin, kilou husa a hongom zota hi.

⁸Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

⁸Gam laizanga amau kia a om theihna ding ua mi om samna ding mun himhim omlou khop hiala in leh in kizomsak jel leh, lou leh lou kizomsak jeilte tung a gik hi.

⁹In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

⁹Sepaihte TOUPAN ka bilah hichi bangin a chi, In tampi, lian pipi kilawm pipi, a teng ding omlouin a hawm vek ngeingei ding.

¹⁰For ten acres literally, ten yokes, or the amount of land that ten yokes of oxen can plow in one day, which is about 10 acres or 4 hectares. of vineyard shall yield one bath, 1 bath is about 22 litres or 5.8 U. S. gallons and a homer 1 homer is about 220 litres or 6 bushels of seed shall yield an ephah. 1 ephah is about 22 litres or 0.6 bushels or about 2 pecks)—only one tenth of what was sown. ”

¹⁰Grep huan tin sawm munah bath khat kia suak dingin a kisa, buh chi homer khat tuhin ephah khat kia suak dingin lah a kisa ngala, chiin.

¹¹Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!

¹¹Ju delh dinga jingkhang pipi-a thou-a, uainin a kham gawp sak mateng jan sawt pipi tana om sakte a tung uh a gik hi.

¹²The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹²Tumging leh kaihgingte, khuangta leh tamngaite, uain toh a ankuangluina uahte a om seka, himahleh TOUPA nasep a ngaisang sek kei ua, a khut thihihte leng, a nagaihtuah ngei sam kei uhi.

¹³Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.

¹³Huaijiakin ka mite jaw, thiehna a neih louh jiak un, sala piin a omta ua: a mi zahtakhuaite uh a gil uh a kiala, a mipite uh dangtakin a dang uh a keu khinta hi.

¹⁴Therefore Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

¹⁴Huaijiakin Sheolin a gilkialna a na liansaka, a kam tuh leh vuallouh khopin a kataa: huchiin a thupinate uh, a mipite uh, a thupi mahmahnate un, a lak ua kipak taka omte toh a lut suk ngoingoi uhi.

¹⁵So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;

¹⁵Mi nuete kunsakin a om ua, mi liante niamsakin a omta uhi;

¹⁶but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁶Sepaihte TOUPA bel vaihawmnaa tawisangin a om zoota, Pathian, Mi Siangthou tuh, diktatnaa hihsiangthouin a omta hi.

¹⁷Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

¹⁷Huan, belam noute a tatna mun ua a ta bang un a ta diamdiam ding ua, mi thau pipite mun sesaa thilte vakvaiten a ne ding uh.

¹⁸Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;

¹⁸Juautheihna khautea thulimlouhna kaia, kangtalai khaujena kaih banga khelhna kai sekte tung a gik hi!

¹⁹Who say, “Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”

¹⁹I muhna dingin hih meng henla, a thilhih ding hih kin leh; i theihna dingin Israelte Mi Siangthou lemtheih tuh hongaiin nongtung hen, chi gigete ngei.

²⁰Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²⁰Thil hoihlou thil hoih chi-a, thil hoih lah thil hoihlou chi jela, vak miala ngaia, mial vaka ngai seka, thil khum thil khaa ngaia, thil kha

²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

²¹Amau pila kingalhtuahte leh amau mit muha teite a tung uh a gik hi!

²²Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;

²²Uain dawn lama mi hat tak, ju hel lama thagui nei mite a tung uh a gik!

²³who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!

²³Golh nek jiaka mi gilou siamtangsak seka, mi diktat diktatna laksak sekte ngei.

²⁴Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁴Hauijiakin meikuangin buhpawl a liak bei dundun sek bangin leh loupa keu meikuanga a puk zungzung sek bangin a zung uh a muatna bangin a om dinga, a pak uh leivui bangin a tungkah lunglung ding: Sepaihte TOUPA dan a deih kei ua, Israelte Mi Siangthou thu a ngaihneu jiak un.

²⁵Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

²⁵Huijiakin TOUPA a mite tungah a heh mahmaha, a tunguah a khut a lika, a vuaa, huchiin tangte khawng a ling vonvon ua, a luangte uh kongzing lakah ninbulom bangin a om venvon a. Huchi tela a hihin leng a hehna lah a dai kei a, a khut a lik lailai hi.

²⁶He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.

²⁶Nam chih gamla taka mite adingin chiamtehna a tak khe dinga, kawl-monga kipan sam dingin a singsit ding: huchiin, ngaiin, amaute tuh kintakin a hongpai pah ding uh:

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁷Amau lakah kuamah a gim kei ding ua, a kisui sam kei ding uh; kuamah a lusu kei ding ua, a ihmu sam kei ding uh; a kawnggak ulah phel kolin a om kei dinga, a khedap gakna leng a tan sam kei ding:

²⁸whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.

²⁸A thalte uh a zum mahmaha, a thalpeu tengteng uh laisain a om keukou a; a sakol chinte uh meisahsuang a banga, a kangtalai khete uh leng pingpei a bang hi.

²⁹Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.

²⁹A husa ging honhon uh humpinelkai humham bang mai ahi. Humpinelkai lunlai humham bang maiin a ging honhon hi: ahi, a ging honhona, a samat ding uh a man ua, bittakin a pai mang pih ua, kuamahin a honkhe theikei hi.Huai niin tuipi ging hawhaw bangin a tunguah a ging hawhaw ding ua: Huchiin min gam a honet uleh, ngaiin, mial leh mangbatna ngen ahi a, vak lah huaia mitea hihmialin a om hi.

³⁰They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.

³⁰Huai niin tuipi ging hawhaw bangin a tunguah a ging hawhaw ding ua: Huchiin min gam a honet uleh, ngaiin, mial leh mangbatna ngen ahi a, vak lah huaia mitea hihmialin a om hi.
