1Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
1Aw Lebanon na kongkhakte hong in, meiin na sidar singte a nekgaih theihna dingin.
2Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
2Aw meilah sing, chiau vongvong in, sidar sing lah a pukta ngala, a hoih tatate hihsiata a om jiak un; Aw nou Basan toso singte chiau vongvong un, gammang pi lah vatpaih ahita ngala.
3A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
3Ngai un belamchingmite chiau vongvong a thupina uh loha a om jiakin ngai un humpinelkai lunlaite humham! Jordan gammang lah a thengta ngala.
4Thus says Yahweh my God: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
4Hichibangin TOUPA ka PAthianin a chi.
5Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
5Thahding belam honte chingpa honghi in, Amau leiten lah a that ua, gawt louin a om ua; amau juakten lah, Ka hauta amau chingten alainat ngal kei ua, a chi ua
6For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says Yahweh; “but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
6Gama tengteng ka hehpih nawn kei ding, TOUPAN lah a chi ngala, himahleh ngaiin mite mi chih a insakinkhang khut ah leh, a kumpipa khut ah ka pe ding; huan amau gam a gawt ding ua, a khut ua kipan amaute ka hunkhe kei ding, chiin.
7So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor,” and the other I called “Union,” and I fed the flock.
7Huchiin belamtea sumdawngte adia thah dia om belamte chingpa ka honghita. Huchiin chiang nih ka kilaka; khat pen Deihsakna ka chi a, a dangpen Kizopna ka chi; huchiin belamte ka vak hi.
8I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
8Huan kha khatin belamchingmi thumte ka sat khiaa. Himahleh ka khain amau a chimtaka, amau khain leng kei a honchimtak uh.
9Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”
9Huaitakin ken, Ka honvak kei ding, a si si, si heh, sat khaika om dingding sat khaikin om heh; huan nutsiatten khat leh khat sa kine tuah uheh, ka chi a.
10I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
10Huan Deihsakn ka chiang ka laa, ka sat tana, mite tengteng toh ka thukhun ka bawl ka suksiat theihna dingin
11It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
11Huchiin huai niin a kitanta huchiin pawlte lakah a genthei kei honlimsakten TOUPA thu ahi chih a thei uh.
12I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
12Huan ken a kiang uah. Hoih na ngaihtuah ua leh, ka lohtak honpia, un a hih kei leh, tang un ka chi a. Huchiin ka lohtak dingin dangka sekel sawmthum a buk uh
13Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.
13Huan TOUPAN ka kiangah, Ka man dia seh uh, man hoih belvelmi kiangah khia in, a chi a. Huan, dangka sekel sawmthum tuh ka laa TOUPA ina, belvelmi kiangah ka khia hi.
14Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
14Huchiin ka chiang dangpen ka tumtana, Kizopna mahmah Juda leh Israel kikala kiunauna ka suksiat theihna dingin.
15Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
15Huan TOUPAN ka kiangah, Belamchingmi thulimlou van te kilak nawn in, a chi a.
16For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
16Ngaiin, gamsunga belamchingmi bawl khe ding lah ka hi ngala aman satkhiaka omdingte a veh kei dia, delh jaka om dingte leng a zong sam kei dia, satkeha omte leng a hihdam sam kei ding, a hoih leng a vak sam kei dia, himahleh a thau sa a ne dinga a chinte nangawn uh a tolsak ding hi.Belamhonte nusia belamchingmi phat tuamna bei tung a gik hi; A ban tung leh a mit taklam tungah namsau a om ding; a ban a go siang keuhkeuh dia, a mit taklam a mial bikbek ding! a chi a.
17Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
17Belamhonte nusia belamchingmi phat tuamna bei tung a gik hi; A ban tung leh a mit taklam tungah namsau a om ding; a ban a go siang keuhkeuh dia, a mit taklam a mial bikbek ding! a chi a.
