King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
1BOEIPA ol he kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
2“Nangmih te mebang nim? Israel khohmuen ham tah he thuidoeknah na thuidoek uh. 'Pa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih, ca rhoek kah a no yaa,’ na ti uh.
3As I live, saith the Lord GOD , ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
3Kai tah hingnah ni tite, ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. He thuidoeknah neh na thuidoek he nangmih Israel khuiah om voel mahpawh.
4Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
4Hinglu boeih te kamah taengkah ni he. A napa kah hinglu khaw ka taengah tah capa kah hinglu bangla om boeiloeih. Aka tholh tah amah hinglu ni a duek eh.
5¶ But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
5Hlang he a dueng la a om atah tiktamnah neh duengnah ni a saii.
6And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
6Tlang ah ca pawt tih Israel imkhui kah mueirhol te a mik huel thil pawh. A hui yuu te poeih pawt tih pumom nu taengah mop pawh.
7And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
7Hlang te laibakung kah hnohol vuelvaek pawt tih a huenkoe te a mael tih a rhawth pawt atah, a buh te bungpong taengah a paek tih pumtling te himbai a khuk atah,
8He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
8A casai la pae pawt tih dumlai lamloh a puehkan la a loh pawt atah. A kut a poem tih hlang neh hlang laklo ah oltak la tiktamnah a saii atah,
9Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD .
9Ka khosing dongah pongpa tih ka laitloeknah he vai ham a dueng la oltak a ngaithuen atah hing rhoe hing ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
10¶ If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things ,
10Thii aka hawk dingca loh ca a sak mai tih anunae te khuikah pakhat lamloh a saii khaming.
11And that doeth not any of those duties , but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,
11Te boeih te anih loh saii pawt cakhaw tlang ah a caak tih a hui yuu te a poeih atah,
12Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
12A huenkoe neh mangdaeng khodaeng a vuelvaek tih hnohol a rhawth pah khaw mael pawh. A mik te mueirhol taengla a huel tih tueilaehkoi te a saii.
13Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
13A casai la a paek tih a puehkan a loh dongah hing rhoe hing mahpawh. Tueilaehkoi cungkuem he a saii dongah duek rhoe duek vetih a thii te amah soah tla ni.
14¶ Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
14Tedae a ca sak loh a napa kah tholhnah cungkuem a saii te a hmuh ne. A hmuh dae amih bangla a saii moenih.
15That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife,
15Tlang ah ca pawt tih Israel im kah mueirhol te a mik huel thil pawh, a hui yuu te poeih pah pawh.
16Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
16Hlang te vuelvaek pawt tih hnohol te laikoi sak pawh, a huenkoe neh hlang rheth pawh. A buh te bungpong taengla a paek tih pumtling te himbai a khuk.
17That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
17Mangdaeng taengah a kut a poem tih a casai neh a puehkan la lo pawh. Ka laitloeknah te a vai tih ka khosing dongah pongpa. Anih tah a napa kathaesainah dongah te duek pawt vetih hing rhoe hing ni.
18As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
18A napa khaw hnaemtaeknah neh a hnaemtaek tih a manuca kah kutkho a rhawth, a pilnam lakli ah, a then a saii pawt te amah kathaesainah dongah ni a duek van eh ne.
19¶ Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
19Tedae, “Balae tih pa kathaesainah te capa loh a phueih pawh,” na ti uh. Ca khaw tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii phoeiah ka khosing boeih te a ngaithuen tih a vai atah hing rhoe hing ni.
20The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
20Amah tholh ah ni a hinglu a duek eh. Pa kathaesainah te capa loh phuei pawt vetih capa kathaesainah te pa loh phuei mahpawh. Aka dueng tah a taengah duengnah om vetih halang, halang tah a taengah halangnah ni a om eh.
21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
21Halang khaw tholhnah a saii dae a tholhnah cungkuem lamloh mael tih ka khosing te boeih a vai, tiktamnah neh duengnah te a saii atah hing rhoe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
22A boekoeknah cungkuem a saii te amih soah poek uh mahpawh. Amah kah duengnah a saii dongah hing ni.
23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD : and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
23Halang kah dueknah te ka ngaih khaw ka ngaih aya? He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. A longpuei lamloh a mael lalah khaw hing aya?
24¶ But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
24Tedae aka dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih halang loh tueilaehkoi boeih a saii bangla dumlai saii koinih boekoeknah la boe a koek dongah a hing vaengah a duengnah neh duengnah cungkuem a saii khaw a saii la poek uh mahpawh. Amah kah tholhnah a saii dongah amah ni a duek eh.
25¶ Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
25Te pataeng, 'BOEIPA kah longpuei he tiktam pawh,’ na ti. Israel imkhui hnatun laeh na ti uh. Ka longpuei he a tiktam moenih a? A tiktam pawt te nangmih kah longpuei moenih a?
26When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
26Aka dueng te a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai saii koinih te rhoek dongah amah ni aka duek eh. Amah kah dumlai a saii dongah amah duek ni.
27Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
27Tedae halang khaw a halangnah a saii lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah saii koinih a hinglu te hing ni.
28Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
28A hmuh tih a boekoeknah cungkuem a saii lamloh a mael la a mael atah hing rhoe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
29Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
29Tedae Israel imkhui loh, “Ka Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,” a ti. Israel imkhui a tiktam pawt te kai longpuei e? Aka tiktam pawt te nangmih kah longpuei moenih a?
30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD . Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
30Te dongah hlang he a longpuei banglam ni Israel imkhui nangmih te lai kan tloek eh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni. Yut uh lamtah na boekoek cungkuem lamloh mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni nangmih ham thaesainah hmuitoel la a om pawt eh.
31¶ Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
31Nangmih kah boekoeknah cungkuem neh boe na koek uh te nangmih taeng lamloh voei uh. Lungbuei thai neh mueihla thai mah namamih ham saii uh. Balae tih Israel imkhui loh na duek uh eh?
32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD : wherefore turn yourselves , and live ye.
32Dueknah neh a duek te ka ngaih moenih. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah yut uh lamtah hing uh laeh,” a ti.
