Ezekiel 12
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 kami capa, nang loe angaek karah kaminawk salakah na oh, nihcae loe hnuk hanah mik a tawnh o, toe hnu o ai; thaih hanah naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o ai; nihcae loe laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah oh o.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 To pongah, kami capa nang, misong ah laemh baktiah ahmuen kalah bangah caeh hanah hmuenmae to paroep ah, khodai naah nihcae mikhnuk ah na ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk ah loe, nihcae mah hnuk o naah ahmuen kalah bangah caeh ah; laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah om o cadoeh, nihcae mah kho na poek pae khoe doeh om tih.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 Angpoeng hanah paroep ih hmuenmae baktih toengah, khodai naah nihcae mikhnuk roe ah nangmah ih hmuenmaenawk to sin ah; misong ah naeh ih kaminawk baktiah, aduembang ah nihcae mikhnuk roe ah caeh ah.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Nihcae mikhnuk ah tapang to taqawt ah loe, to akhaw thung hoiah nangmah ih hmuenmae to sin ah.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 Na palaeng ah apu ah loe nihcae mikhnuk ah khoving hmawk naah caeh haih ah, long to na hnuk han ai ah mikhmai padap khoep ah; Israel imthung takoh hanah angmathaih ah kang sak boeh, tiah ang naa.
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 To pongah lokpaek ih baktih toengah ka sak; kai loe misong ah naeh ih kami ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, kaimah ih hmuennawk to khodai naah ka lak moe, aduembang ah ka ban hoiah tapang to ka taqawt; khoving hmawk naah hmuennawk to ka lak moe, nihcae mikhnuk roe ah palaeng nuiah ka put.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 Akhawnbang ah Angraeng ih lok to kai khaeah angzoh,
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 kami capa, laisaep karah Israel imthung takoh mah, Tih maw na sak, tiah na naa o ai maw?
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih, Hae loknawk loe Jerusalem ah kaom siangpahrang hoi to vangpui thungah kaom Israel imthung takohnawk boih han ih ni oh.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 Kai loe nangcae han angmathaih ah ka oh; ka sak ih baktih toengah nihcae khaeah sah tih; nihcae angpoeng o ueloe, misong ah naeh ih kami ah om o tih.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 Nihcae salakah kaom siangpahrang loe angmah ih hmuennawk to palaeng ah apuu ueloe, khoving ah caeh haih tih, anih caeh haih hanah tapang to taqawt o tih; anih mah long to hnuk han ai ah mikhmai to padap pae o khoep tih.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 Anih han palok ka payang pae han, anih loe kai ih thaang pongah aman tih; anih to Khaldian prae Babylon ah ka caeh haih han, anih loe to vangpui ah dueh tih, toe vangpui to hnu mak ai.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Anih abomh hanah a taengah kaom kaminawk hoi anih ih toksah kaminawk boih takhi songhaih ahmuen kruekah kang haehsak phaeng han; Sumsen to ka laek moe, nihcae to ka patom han.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 Nihcae to prae kaminawk salakah kang haehsak phang moe, prae congca ah kam praeksak phang naah loe, nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 Toe a caeh o haih Sithaw panoek ai prae kruekah a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk to a thuih o hanah, sumsen, khokhahaih hoi kasae nathaih thung hoiah kami zetta ka pathlung han; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah panoek o tih, tiah ang naa.
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh;
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 kami capa, tasoehhaih hoi buh to caa ah loe, zithaih hoiah tui to nae ah.
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 Prae kaminawk khaeah, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk hoi Israel prae thungah kaom kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nihcae loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah buh to caa o tih, dawnraihaih hoiah tui to nae o ueloe, prae thungah kaom kaminawk ih khoaehaih pongah, prae thungah kaom hmuenmaenawk to anghmaa boih tih boeh.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 Kami ohhaih vangpuinawk to amro ueloe, prae loe pong sut tih boeh; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 kami capa, aninawk loe laemh o boeh moe, hnuksakhaih doeh amro boeh, tiah thuih ih palungha lok to Israel prae thungah om ai maw?
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Hae tiah a thuih o ih palungha lok to ka boengsak han boeh, nihcae mah Israel prae thungah palungha lok patoh o mak ai boeh; nihcae khaeah, Hnuksak ih hmuennawk akoep boihhaih ani loe zoi boeh, tiah thuih.
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 To naah loe Israel imthung takoh ah avang ai hnuksakhaih hoi lok amlai tahmaahaih to om mak ai boeh.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh; ka thuih han koi lok to ka thuih naah, aekhaih om ai ah akoep tih, akoephaih ni doeh akra mak ai; Aw angaek karah imthung takoh, nangcae dung ah lok ka thuih moe, thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka koepsak han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 kami capa, khenah, A hnuk ih hnuksakhaih loe angzo han koi pop parai aninawk to thuikoehhaih ih ni, a thuih ih atuenawk loe angthla parai vop, tiah Israel imthung takoh mah thuih o.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 To pongah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Ka thuih ih loknawk loe akra mak ai, ka thuih ih lok to ka koepsak han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
