Ezekiel 2

1 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, na khokkung ah angdoe ah, lok kang thuih han, tiah ang naa.

“Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”

2 Kai khaeah lok ang thuih naah ka thungah muithla to akun moe, anih mah ka khokkung ah angdoetsak pongah, ang thuih ih lok to ka thaih.

And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.

3 Anih mah, Kami capa, Kai ih lok aek koeh acaeng ah kaom, Israel caanawk khaeah kang patoeh han: Nihcae loe ampanawk baktih toengah vaihni ni khoek to ka lok to aek o, tiah ang naa.

“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.

4 Palung len, palung thah kaminawk khaeah kang patoeh han: to naah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng mah,

They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’

5 (nihcae loe angaek thaih kami ah oh o pongah, ) lok tahngai doeh om tih, tahngai ai doeh om tih, toe nihcae salakah tahmaa oh boeh, tiah panoek o tih.

And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6 Nang, kami capa, na taengah kapop parai soekhring to oh moe, sataai salakah na oh cadoeh, nihcae to zii hmah, a thuih o ih loknawk doeh zii hmah; nihcae loe angaek thaih kami ah oh o pongah, nihcae mah thuih o ih loknawk to zii hmah, nihcae ih mikhmai pongah doeh palungboeng hmah.

But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.

7 Nihcae loe laisaep thaih kami ah oh o pongah, nihcae mah tahngai maw, tahngai ai maw, nihcae khaeah ka thuih ih loknawk hae na taphong han oh.

But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

8 Toe nang, kami capa, kang thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah. Nang loe laisaep thaih kami imthung takoh baktiah laisaep hmah; pakha to aangh loe kang paek ih hmuen hae caa ah, tiah ang naa.

And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

9 Ka khet naah kai khaeah payangh ban maeto ka hnuk; khenah, to ban ah caqam tangoeng cabu maeto oh.

Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,

10 Anih mah to caqam tangoeng to ka hmaa ah khramh naah, caqam ahnuk ahma tarik ih qahhaih, palungsethaih hoi khosak binghaih loknawk to oh.

which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
