Ezekiel 16
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Again the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2 kami capa, a sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk to Jerusalem han panoeksak ah,
"Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 Angraeng Sithaw mah Jerusalem khaeah, Na tacawthaih hoi na tapenhaih loe Kanaan prae ah oh; nam pa loe Amor kami ah oh moe, nam no loe Hit tanuh ah oh.
and say, 'Thus says YHWH to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hethite.
4 Na tapenhaih niah na lelung qui aat ai, na thoeng hanah tui nam hluh ai, paloi tui hoiah tui amhlu ai moe, kahni hoi doeh ayaw ai.
As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Tahmenhaih palungthin hoi to tiah sak hanah, mi mah doeh tahhmenhaih hoiah nang to khen ai; na tapenhaih niah nang loe panuet thok kami ni tih pongah, taw ah ang vah o sut.
No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.
6 Nang khaeah kang zoh naah, athii nang nok puk, athii ahnai hoiah na oh naah, kai mah nang khaeah, Hing ah, Ue, athii ahnai hoi na oh naah, Hing ah, tiah kang naa.
"'And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, and I said to you in your blood: 'Live.'
7 Lawk ih qamnawk baktiah kang qoengsak, na qoeng tahang moe, na len pacoengah loe kranghoih koek amthoephaih hmuen ah nang coeng; na tahnu to len tahang moe, na sam doeh sai tahang, toe nang loe bangkrai ah ni na oh sut, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.
8 Nang khaeah kang zoh moe, kang khet naah, khenah, nang loe palung han koi atue to phak boeh pongah, kahni to ka lak moe, bangkrai ah na ohhaih to kang khuk pae; ue, nang khaeah lokkamhaih ka sak moe, nang hoi lokmaihaih ka sak pacoengah, nang loe kai ih hmuen ah na oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
"'Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, look, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you,' says YHWH, 'and you became mine.
9 Tui hoi kang pasaeh, ue, nang ih athii ahnainawk to kahoih ah kang pasaeh pacoengah, situi kang nok.
"'Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 A aem kaom khukbuen hoiah kang pathoep moe, moihin khokpanai to kang buensak; puu ngan khukbuen hoiah kang pathoep moe, atho kana khukbuen to kang khuksak.
I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.
11 Atho kana khukbuen, aoih ih hmuennawk hoiah kang pathoep; na ban ah bantuek kang buensak moe, tahnong ah bungmu kang oihsak.
I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.
12 Atho kaom thlung to na lupataeh ah kang zaengsak, naa tangkraeng to kang buensak moe, na lu ah sui lumuek kang mueksak.
I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 To tiah sui hoi sumkanglung hoiah kang pathoep; nang loe puu ngan, atho kana khukbuen hoi aem kaom khukbuen to nang khuk; takaw kahoih, khoitui hoi situi to na caak: na krang hoih parai pongah, siangpahrang zu ah na oh.
Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 Na tungkrang hoih pongah, na krang hoihaih to Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah amthang phaeng; kang paek ih hoihaih mah ni na krang to ang hoihsak, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,' says YHWH.
15 Toe na krang hoihaih to na oep moe, na hmin amthanghaih to tangzat zaw kami ah nang coengsak ving; tamquta hoi kholong caeh kaminawk hoiah zaehaih na sak pongah, na krang hoihaih loe nongpa boih han ni oh ving boeh.
"'But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.
16 Khukbuennawk to na lak moe, hmuensangnawk to rong congca hoiah na pathoep, to ahmuen ah kaom vai ai hmuen, hmabang ah doeh kaom han ai ih hmuen, zaehaih to tamquta hoiah na sak.
You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Kang paek ih khukbuen kahoih, sui hoi sumkanglung to na sinh moe, nangmah hanah nongpa ih krang to na sak pacoengah, to krangnawk to na zae haih.
You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;
18 Aem kaom khukbuen to na lak moe, nihcae to na khuk; kai ih situi hoi hmuihoih to na lak moe, nihcae hmaa ah na tathlang pae.
and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Kang paek moe, kang pacah ih takaw kahoih, situi hoi khoitui doeh nihcae hmaa ah hmuihoih ah na tathlang pae; to tiah oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was,' says YHWH.
20 To khue ai vop kai hoiah sak ih, na capa hoi na canunawk to na lak moe, krangnawk mah caak hanah angbawnhaih ah na paek. Hae tiah tangzat na zawhhaih loe hmuen tetta ah maw oh?
"'Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 Ka caanawk to na hum moe, krangnawk khaeah hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah na paek.
that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 Nawkta nathuem ah loe khukbuen tawn ai bangkrai ah na oh, athii ahnai hoi khosakhaih to na poek ai ah, panuet thok hmuennawk hoi tangzat zawhhaih to na sak.
In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 Nang loe khosak bing! Khosak bing! tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, na poeksethaih hmuennawk boih pacoengah,
"'It has happened after all your wickedness, ("Woe, woe to you." says YHWH),
24 nang mah hanah tangzat zawhhaih im to na sak moe, loklam kruekah hmuensang to na sak.
that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 Lamkrung boih ah hmuensang to na sak, na kranghoihaih to panuet thok ah na sak; kholong caeh kaminawk boih khaeah na phaih to na takaat moe, tamquta hoi zae sakhaih to na pungsak.
You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 Long taksa bangah kalen, na taengah kaom Izip kaminawk khaeah doeh tangzat to na zawh, kai palungphuisak hanah tangzat zawhhaih na pungsak.
You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 To pongah khenah, na nuiah misa angcoenghaih ban ka phok moe, na caak ih hmuen to kang pakha pae moe, nang hnuma kami, taksa koehhaih bangah azat panoek thai ai Philistin canunawk khaeah kang paek han.
See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Na taksa koehhaih bangah palung khuek tih ai vop pongah, Assyria kaminawk khaeah doeh tangzat na zawh bae vop, ue, nihcae hoi doeh zaehaih to na sak, toe palung khuek na tih ai.
You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.
29 To pacoengah na taksa koehhaih to sang aep aep pongah, Kanaan hoi Khaldian prae karoek to tangzat na zawh; toe palung khuek na tih ai vop.
You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.
30 Tuinuen kasae tangzat zaw nongpata mah sak ih hae hmuennawk hae na sak boih pongah, na palung kawkruk maw thazok boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih;
"'How weak is your heart, says YHWH, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 loklam kruekah tangzat zawhhaih im to na sak, lamkrung kruekah hmuensang to na sak; atho na la ai pongah, tangzat zaw kami hoi nang hmong ai;
in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 toe nang loe a sava nuiah zaehaih sak koeh imthong krah nongpata baktiah ni na oh, to nongpata loe a sava pongah minawk kalah nongpa to koeh kue.
"'A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband.
33 Tangzat zaw kaminawk loe atho hnuk o, toe nang loe na koeh ih kaminawk boih hanah tangqum ah nang paek lat, ahmuen kruek ih kaminawk to angzoh o, zaehaih sak hanah nihcae to na kawk.
They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 To pongah nang loe tangzat zaw kalah nongpatanawk hoi nang hmong ai, toe nang hoi zaehaih sak hanah mi doeh na hnukah bang ai; nang loe atho na la ai, minawk han tangqum na paek lat pongah, nang loe minawk hoi anghmong ai.
You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.'
35 To pongah, Aw tangzat zaw kami, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ah!
"Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of YHWH:
36 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Panuet thok hmuen to sak hanah na koeh ih kaminawk, panuet thok krangnawk hoiah zaehaih na sak pongah, bangkrai ah na ohhaih to nam tuengsak boeh, nihcae han na paek ih na caanawk ih athii pongah,
Thus says YHWH, 'Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 khenah, kanawm na caenghaih, na palung duek ih kaminawk hoi nang hnuma kaminawk to nawnto ka pakueng boih han; na misa ah angcoengsak hanah na taeng ih kaminawk to ka tacuu boih han, nihcae mah hnuk o hanah na khukbuen to kang khringh pae han, to naah nihcae mah bangkrai ah na ohhaih to hnu o tih, tiah thuih.
therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 Sava nuiah zaehaih sak moe, athii longsak nongpata baktiah lok kang caek han; uthaih hoi palungphui athii longhaih atho to kang paek han.
I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 To pacoengah nihcae ban ah kang paek han, to naah nihcae mah tangzat na zawhhaih im to na va pae o phaeng ueloe, na hmuensang to na phrae pae o boih tih; khukbuennawk na khring pae o ueloe, atho kana bungmunawk ang lomh pae o pacoengah, nang to tidoeh tawn ai bangkrai ah na prawt o sut tih.
I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.
40 Nang tuk hanah pop parai kami angzo o haih ueloe, nang to thlung hoi ang vah o pacoengah, sumsen hoiah na thun o tih.
They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 Na imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek o ueloe, pop parai nongpatanawk mikhnuk ah lok na caek o tih; to naah tangzat na zawh let han ai ah kang sak han, to naah loe nang mah minawk kalah na tlai mak ai boeh.
They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.
42 To naah loe na nuiah palung ka phuihaih to dii tih boeh; uthaih hoi palung ka phuihaih na nuiah ka suem mak ai boeh; palung ka phui mak ai, kang hngai duem han boeh.
So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Nawkta nathuem ih aninawk to pahnet moe, hae baktih hmuennawk hoi palung nang phui o sak pongah, khenah, na toksakhaih baktih toengah na lu nuiah ka kraksak han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih; hae panuet thok hmuennawk boih nuiah kahoih ai zaehaih na sak aep han om ai.
"'Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, look, I also will bring your way on your head,' says YHWH: 'and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 Khenah, palungha lok thui kaminawk boih mah, nang pongah a canu loe amno baktiah oh, tiah hae palungha lok hae thui o tih.
"'Look, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, "As is the mother, so is her daughter."
45 Nang loe a sava hoi a caanawk panuet nam no ih canu ah na oh; a sava hoi a caanawk panuet, nongpata ih amnawk nongpata ah na oh; nam no loe Hit tanu ah oh moe, nam pa loe Amor acaeng ah oh.
You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hethite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Nam ya nongpata kacoeh loe Samaria kami ah oh, anih hoi a canunawk loe na ohhaih bangqoi bangah oh o; na bantang bangah kaom nam nawk nongpata hoi a canunawk loe Sodom to ni.
Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Nang loe nihcae caehhaih loklam ah na caeh ai, a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk doeh na sah ai; toe to hmuennawk loe tidoeh na ai tetta hmuen ni tiah na poek pongah, nang loe na toksakhaih boih ah nihcae pongah na set kue.
Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 Kai ka hing baktiah, nam nawk nongpata Sodom hoi a canunawk loe, nang mah na canunawk hoi nawnto sak ih hmuen baktiah sah o ai vop.
As I live,' says YHWH, 'Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Khenah, nam nawk nongpata Sodom zaehaih loe hae tiah oh, anih hoi a canunawk loe amoek o, kamtlai hmoek ah a caak o moe, khosak nawmhaih hoiah a oh o; amtang kaminawk hoi kavawt kaminawk to khenzawn o ai.
"'Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Nihcae loe poeksang o moe, ka hmaa ah panuet thok hmuen to sak o; to pongah na hnuk ih baktih toengah nihcae to kam rosak boeh.
They were haughty, and committed abomination before me. So I took them away, as you have seen.

Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 Nam nawk nongpata hnik to lok na caek baktih toengah, na sak ih panuet thok zaehaihnawk loe nihnik mah sak ih zaehaih pong nung kue pongah, azathaih to phaw ah; nihnik loe nang pongah toeng hoi kue; ue, nam nawk nongpata hnik mah sak ih zaehaihnawk amtueng ai karoek to zaehaih na sak pongah, palung boenghaih hoiah azathaih to na phawh han oh.
You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 Toe tamna ah naeh ih Sodom hoi a canunawk, Samaria hoi a canunawk to ka hoih naah, na tamnawk to nihcae hoi nawnto ka hoih let han:
"'I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;
54 to naah nihcae to na mongsak ueloe, na sak ih hmuennawk boih ah palung boenghaih hoi azathaih to na tong tih.
that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Jerusalem, nang loe amoek moe, nam nawk Sodom hnaphnaehaih lok to na thuih.
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Toe nang loe kawkrukmaw na set, tito kaminawk boih mah vaihi panoek o boeh: Syria canunawk hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk boih, na taengah kaom Philistin ih canunawk boih mah nang ang hnukma o moe, ang hnap o.
before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.
58 Vaihi na zaehaih hoi na sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk pongah, tha na zok tih boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says YHWH.'
59 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Lokkamhaih to nang phat taak pongah, na sak ih hmuen hoi kating ah kang pathok han.
"For thus says YHWH: 'I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Toe na nawkta nathuem ah nang hoi sak ih lokmaihaih to ka poek moe, nang khaeah dungzan lokmaihaih ka sak han.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Nang hoi lokmaihaih ka sak han, to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek tih.
I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am YHWH;
63 Na sak ih hmuennawk boih pongah palung ka phuihaih dip naah loe, kho na poek vawk ueloe, mikhmai na sae tih, azat loiah pakha na ang let mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says YHWH.'"
