Ezekiel 17
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 kami capa, hmuen patahhaih maeto sah ah loe, Israel imthung takoh khaeah patahhaih lok to thui ah,
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
3 nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Pakhraeh tha kaom parai, pakhraeh kasawk, amui kapop, rong congca kaom tahmu maeto loe Lebanon ah angzoh moe, Sidar thing tanghang to a koeng;
And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
4 anih loe kasang koek tadok to takoih moe, hmuenmae zawhhaih prae ah azawk haih, hmuenmae zawhhaih vangpui ah a thling.
He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of trade; he set it in a city of merchants.
5 Prae thung ih amuu to a lak moe, kahoih long ah et pacoengah, kapop tui taeng ih akung baktiah a ohsak.
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
6 Amprawk moe, a qoeng tahang pacoengah, kahnaem ah amzam misurkung ah angcoeng, tanghangnawk loe tahmu angmah ohhaih bangah angqoi o, toe a ohhaih tlim ah tangzun to sak pongah, misurkung ah angcoeng, tanghangnawk to cawnh moe, tadok tacawt o.
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 Toe to ahmuen ah amui kapop, pakhraeh thacak, kalen parai kalah tahmu maeto oh toeng; khenah, misurkung loe angmah ahmuen ah tahmu khae hoi tui hak thai hanah, anih ohhaih bangah tangzun to caeh moe, tanghangnawk doeh anih ohhaih bangah amzam.
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 Tanghangnawk to tacawt moe, athaih pacoengah, kahoih parai misurkung ah angcoeng thai hanah, kahoih long hoi tui pophaih ahmuen ah a thling, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
9 Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, To baktih misurkung loe hoih tangtang tih maw? Anih mah tangzun to aphong ueloe, athai pakhrik boih pacoengah, misurkung loe azaem ving mak ai maw? Aqamnawk zai boih moe, tangzunnawk aphong pacoengah loe, vah hanah thacak kami hoi kami pop angai mak ai boeh.
Say you, Thus says the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
10 Ue, khenah, misurkung to thling let cadoeh hoih tang tih maw? Ni angzae bang ih takhi mah hmuh naah azaem ving mak ai maw? Anih loe amprawkhaih ahmuen ah azaem ving tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
11 To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 laisaep karah imthung takoh khaeah, Hae hmuennawk thuikoehhaih hae na panoek ai maw? tiah thui paeh. Nihcae khaeah, Khenah, Babylon siangpahrang loe Jerusalem ah caeh moe, Judah siangpahrang hoi angraengnawk to naeh pacoengah, Babylon ah caeh haih ving;
Say now to the rebellious house, Know all of you not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and has taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
13 anih loe siangpahrang ih caanawk to kawk moe, angmah hoi lokmaihaih a sak pacoengah, anih khaeah lokkamhaih a saksak; prae thung ih thacak zaehoikungnawk doeh anih mah naeh moe, caeh haih:
And has taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and has taken an oath of him: he has also taken the mighty of the land:
14 to pongah to prae loe azaem tathuk, angthawk let thai ai boeh; toe a lokmaihaih pazui naah ni angdoe thai tih.
That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 Toe siangpahrang mah anih ih lok to aek moe, hrangnawk, kaminawk to paek let hanah angmah ih laicaehnawk to Izip prae ah patoeh. To hmuen loe angcoeng thai tang tih maw? To baktih hmuen sah kami loe loih tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe lokmaikhaih phrae kami to loih tih maw?
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that does such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
16 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ka hing baktiah, anih han siangpahrang ah sahkung, siangpahrang lokkamhaih to aek moe, lokmaihaih to phraek pongah, anih loe siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuen Babylon vangpui thungah dueh tih.
As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwells that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Faro siangpahrang loe kaminawk hum hanah thacak misatuh kaminawk, paroeai kaminawk hoi vangpui sipae to sak moe, misa abuephaih imnawk to sah cadoeh misatuk pazawk mak ai:
Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Jerusalem siangpahrang loe lokmaihaih to patoek moe, lokkamhaihaih a phraek, khenah, lokmaihaih ah a ban to paek boeh, toe hae baktih hmuennawk boih a sak pongah, loih mak ai, tiah thuih.
Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and has done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ka hing baktiah, anih mah ka lokkamhaih to patoek moe, ka lokkamhaih a phraek baktih toengah, anih lu nuiah ka kraksak tangtang han.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20 Anih han palok ka payang pae moe, thaang pongah ka mansak han, kai khaeah oep kaom ah khosah ai, zaehaih a sak pongah, anih to Babylon ah ka hoih moe, to ah lok ka caek han, tiah thuih.
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
21 Anih khae hoi kacawn kaminawk hoi misatuh kaminawk loe sumsen hoi dueh o tih, anghmat kaminawk loe takhi songhaih ahmuen kruekah amhet o phang tih; to naah Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and all of you shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
22 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kaimah roe sidar thing tadong nui ih tadok to ka lak moe, ka thling han; tadong ih tadok kanawknawk to ka khaeh moe, ahmuen kamtueng maesang nuiah ka thling han.
Thus says the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23 Israel maesang nuiah ka thling han; to naah tanghangnawk to tacawt o tih, athaih athai o ueloe, kahoih parai sidarkung ah angcoeng o tih: van ih tavaa congcanawk loe, to thingkung tlim hoi tanghangnawk tahlip ah abuep o tih, tiah thuih.
In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 Taw ih thingkungnawk boih mah, Kai, Angraeng mah kasang parai thing to ahnaemsak moe, kahnaem thing to sangsak boeh, kahing thing to angqosak moe, angqo thing to hingsak boeh, tito panoek o tih; Kai, Angraeng loe thuih ih lok baktiah ka sak han, tiah thuih.
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
