Ezekiel 13
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Again, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 kami capa, vaihi lok kathui Israel tahmaanawk misa haih lok to thui ah; angmacae poek rumramhaih thui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh!
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets who are prophesying in Israel, and say to those who are prophesying out of their own imaginations, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh.
3 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Angmacae ih pakhra patom, hnuksakhaih tidoeh hnu ai, kamthu tahmaanawk loe khosak bing o!
The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, but who have seen nothing!
4 Aw Israel, nang ih tahmaanawk loe praezaek ih tasui baktiah ni oh o.
Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the wastelands.
5 Nihcae loe misatukhaih Angraeng ih ani phak naah kacakah angdoet moe, kamro Israel imthung takoh sipae nuiah daw han ai ah, sipae pathoep o hanah thui pae o ai.
You have not gone to the breaks in the wall around the house of Israel in order to repair it, in order to resist in battle on the day of Yahweh.
6 A hnuk o ih hnuksakhaihnawk loe azom pui ah oh, amsawnlok ni a thuih o; nihcae loe Angraeng mah thui ai to mah, Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thuih o, a thuih o ih lok loe akoep tih, tiah kaminawk to oep o sak, tiah thuih.
The people have false visions and make false predictions, those who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration.” Yahweh has not sent them, but they nevertheless have made people hope that their messages would come true.
7 Ka thui pae ai to mah, Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui kaminawk ih amsawnlok hoi tidoeh avang ai hnuksakhaih to na hnu o ai maw?
Have you not had false visions and made false predictions, you who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration” when I myself have not spoken?'
8 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Amsawnlok na thuih o moe, lok nam lai o pongah, khenah, nangcae to misa ah kang suek han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have had false visions and have told lies—therefore this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration against you:
9 Amsawn hnuksakhaih to hnuk moe, lok amlai tahmaanawk nuiah misa tukhaih ban to ka koeng han; nihcae loe kai kaminawk amkhuenghaih thungah athum o mak ai, Israel imthung takoh ahmin khrumhaih cabu thungah athum o mak ai ueloe, Israel prae thungah doeh akun o mak ai; to naah Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
My hand will be against the prophets who have lying visions and who make false predictions. They will not be in the assembly of my people, or enrolled in the record of the house of Israel; they must not go to the land of Israel. For you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!
10 Nihcae mah kai ih kaminawk loklam amkhraeng o sak moe, Monghaih om ai to mah monghaih oh, tiah a naa o, khenah, kami maeto mah tapang to sak moe, kalah kaminawk mah tapang to param long hoiah pazut o:
Because of this, and because they led my people astray and said, “Peace!” when there is no peace, they are building a wall that they will paint with whitewash.'
11 to pongah amtim han koi, tapang param long pazut kaminawk khaeah, khotui pop parai tih, kalen qaetui to krah ueloe, takhi pui to song tih, tiah thui paeh.
Say to those who are whitewashing the wall, 'It will fall down; there will be a downpour of rain, and I will send hailstones to make it fall down, and a windstorm wind to break it down.
12 Khenah, sipae tanimh naah, kaminawk mah pazut o ih param long loe naah oh ving boeh loe? tiah na dueng o tih.
See, the wall will fall down. Have others not said to you, “Where is the whitewash that you put on it?”
13 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Palungphuihaih hoiah takhi pui to ka songsak han, palung ka phuihaih hoiah pop parai kho kang oihsak moe, imlawk amrosak hanah palungphuihaih hoiah qaetui to ka kraksak han.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I will bring a windstorm in my rage, and there will be floods of rain in my wrath! Hailstones in my rage will completely destroy it.
14 Param long na pazut o ih tapang to ka phraek moe, long ah kam timsak han, im angdoethaih ahmuen doeh ka phraek boih han; tapang tanimh naah nangcae doeh a thungah na dueh o tih; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
For I will tear down the wall that you have covered with whitewash, and I will demolish it to the ground and lay bare its foundations. So it will fall, and you will be annihilated in the middle of it all. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
15 To tiah sipae hoi sipae param long pazut kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih to kam tuengsak han; to naah nang khaeah, Sipae om ai boeh, a nuiah pazut ih param long doeh om ai boeh;
For I will annihilate in my fury the wall and those who whitewashed it. I will say to you, “The wall exists no more, nor do the people who whitewashed it—
16 monghaih om ai naah Jerusalem to mongsak hanah hnuksakhaih kai khaeah amtueng, tiah kathui Israelnawk ih tahmaanawk doeh om o ai boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
the prophets of Israel who prophesied about Jerusalem and who had visions of peace for her. But there is no peace!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”'
17 To tiah kami capa, angmacae poek rumramhaih lokthui kaminawk ih canunawk khaeah angqoi ah loe, nihcae misa haih kawng to taphong ah,
So you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own minds, and prophesy against them.
18 hae tiah thui paeh, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kaminawk ih hinghaih to naeh hanah ban ah angzaeng koi qui hoi lumuek kasah pae nongpatanawk loe, khosak bing! Kai kaminawk ih hinghaih naeh hanah na pakrong o han maw, nang khaeah angzo kahing kaminawk ih hinghaih to na pahlong o thai tih maw?
Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the women who sew magic charms onto every part of their hand and make veils for their heads of every size, used to hunt down people. Will you hunt down my people but save your own lives?
19 Nangcae mah barli cang ban tamsum maeto, takaw kae maeto hoiah kai ih kaminawk khaeah kai kasae na thuih o, amsawnlok to na thuih o moe, kai ih kaminawk to na tang o sak: duek han krah ai kami to na hum o moe, hing han krah ai kami to na hing o sak lat han maw? tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh.
You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and crumbs of bread, to kill people who should not die, and to preserve the lives of those who should not continue to live, because of your lies to my people who heard you.
20 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, nangcae loe tavaa baktiah naeh hanah kami hinghaih to na mee o pongah, ban ah nang zaeng o ih qui to misa ah ka suek moe, hinghaih loihsak hanah ban tampawk ah zaeng ih qui to ka khringh pae han, tavaa baktiah na mee o ih hinghaih to ka prawt ving han.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I am against the magic charms that you have used to ensnare the people's lives as if they were birds. Indeed, I will tear them from your arms; and the people whom you have trapped like birds—I will let them go free.
21 Na ban ah zaeng ih qui to kang khringh pae moe, kaimah ih kaminawk to na ban thung hoiah ka pahlong han, nihcae loe na ban thungah krah o let mak ai boeh; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih.
I will tear away your veils and rescue my people from your hand, so they will no longer be trapped in your hands. You will know that I am Yahweh.
22 Kaimah palung ka saesak ai to mah, amsawnlok na thuih o haih hoiah katoeng kaminawk to palung na set o sak; kasae kami mah a hinghaih pahlong han, a set haih loklam caehtaak han ai ah, a ban tha na cak o sak let:
Because you discourage the heart of the righteous person with lies, even though I did not desire his discouragement, and because you encourage instead the actions of the wicked person so that he will not turn from his way to save his life—
23 to pongah tidoeh avang ai hnuksakhaih to na hnu o let mak ai, tahmaa baktiah thuih rumramhaih doeh om mak ai boeh; kaimah ih kaminawk to nangcae ban thung hoiah ka pahlong han boeh; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
therefore you will no longer have false visions or continue to make predictions, for I will rescue my people out of your hand. You will know that I am Yahweh.'”
