Ezekiel 21
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 kami capa, Jerusalem bangah anghaeh loe hmuenciim khaeah misa haih lok to thui ah, Israel prae hoi misa angcoenghaih lok to tapong ah;
Therefore prophesy, son of man, set your face steadfastly towards Jerusalem, and look towards their holy places, and you shall prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 Israel prae khaeah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, misa ah kang suek han, tabu thung hoi sumsen to ka phongh moe, katoeng doeh, toeng ai doeh, nihcae to ka tamit boih han boeh.
and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and unrighteous.
4 Katoeng maw, katoeng ai maw, ka tamit boih han oh boeh pongah, aloih bang hoi aluek bang ih kaminawk boih misatuk hanah, ka sumsen loe angmah ih tabu thung hoi tacawt tih boeh:
Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
5 to naah Kai, Angraeng mah angmah ih tabu thung hoiah sumsen ka phong boeh, tito kami boih mah panoek o tih; to sumsen loe angmah ih tabu thungah pacaeng let mak ai boeh, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh.
and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 To pongah kami capa, aham ah! Kaeng angkhaeh moe, palung tapok han khoek to nihcae hmaa ah aham ah.
And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your loins; you shall even groan heavily in their sight.
7 Nihcae mah tipongah na ham loe? tiah na dueng o nahaeloe, Tamthang angzoh pongah ni ka ham; tamthang angzo naah loe, palungthin boih tui baktiah amzawt ueloe, bannawk boih thazai sut tih, pakhranawk boih thazok o ueloe, khokkhunawk boih tui baktiah naem o tih boeh, tiah thui paeh; khenah, angzo tih boeh, to hmuen loe om tangtang tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Therefore do you groan? that you shall say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, says the Lord.
8 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 kami capa, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, tiah taphong han ih lok loe, Sumsen maeto, sumsen maeto loe tak het moe, hmawt het boeh:
Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
10 sumsen loe kami hum hanah tak het boeh, ni aengh baktiah angpha hanah hmawt suidik boeh; aicae loe ka capa ih cunghet pongah anghoe han oh maw? Thing rumram hoi sak ih cunghet loe sumsen mah patoek.
that you may kill victims; be sharpened that you may be bright, ready for slaughter, kill, set at nothing, despise every tree.
11 Sumsen loe hmawt suidik moe, patoh han ih ni a paek; kami hum thaih khaeah paek hanah, to sumsen loe tak het boeh moe, hmawt suidik boeh.
And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
12 Kami capa, qah ah loe hang ah, to hmuen loe kai ih kaminawk nuiah pha ueloe, Israel angraengnawk nuiah om tih; to baktih zitthok hmuennawk hoi sumsen loe kai ih kaminawk nuiah krah tih, to pongah na phaih to atum ah.
Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgement] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap your hands, for sentence has been passed:
13 To hmuen loe kaimah ih kaminawk tanoekhaih ah oh, sumsen mah cunghet to patoek nahaeloe kawbangmaw pakaa thai tih? Cunghet loe om mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, says the Lord God.
14 To pongah kami capa, lok to taphong ah loe, ban tabaeng ah, vai hnetto, vai thumto sumsen alaekhaih to om tih, to sumsen loe kami humhaih sumsen, kami pop parai humhaih sumsen kalen ah oh moe, nihcae ahnuk ahma humhaih sumsen ah oh.
And you, son of man, prophesy, and clap your hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and you shall strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
15 Nihcae palung boeng o moe, kadueh kami pop aep hanah, nihcae ih khongkhanawk boih ah sumsen to ka suek boeh; Aw! Sumsen loe ni aengh baktiah ampha moe, kami hum hanah hmawt suidik boeh.
and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
16 Aw sumsen caeh ah loe, banqoi bantang alaek ah, sumsen haa angqoihaih ahnuk ahma bang boih ah takroek ah.
And do you go on, sharpen yourself on the right and on the left wherever your face may set itself.
17 Kai doeh ban tabaeng moe, palungphuihaih ka dipsak han boeh, tiah Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh.
And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it].
18 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
19 kami capa, Babylon siangpahrang sumsen hoi angzohhaih loklam hnetto angmathaih to sah ah; to loklam loe kanghmong prae maeto thung hoiah tacawt tih; toe vangpui bang caehhaih lamphi ah, angmathaih to sah ah.
and you, son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, you shall set [it] at the top of the way,
20 Loklam hnetto ampraekhaih ahmuen ah angmathaih kamnoek ah sah ah: loklam maeto loe Ammon prae vangpui, Rabah ah caehhaih loklam ah oh moe, kalah loklam maeto bae loe Judah prae, misa buephaih kacakah sak ih Jerusalem caehhaih loklam ah oh.
that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
21 Babylon siangpahrang loe loklam hnetto ampraekhaih lamphi phak naah, to ah angdoet; palaa hoiah taham kasae kahoih to a khet moe, krangnawk khaeah lok a dueng, angbawnhaih moi pathin to a khet.
For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
22 Misa buephaih im to a sak, misa buephaih to sak moe, misa qumqaihaih long khaw to takaeh hanah, a bantang ban hoiah Jerusalem hanah taham khethaih phoisa to a vah.
On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
23 Toe anih khaeah lokkamhaih sah kaminawk loe taham khethaih to tidoeh avang ai hmuen ah poek o tih; toe siangpahrang mah loe to kaminawk to naeh thai hanah nihcae sakpazaehaih to pakrong tih.
And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
24 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih: na sakpazae o ih hmuennawk to panoek hanah na sak o, to pongah na sakpazae o ih hmuennawk to na panoek o boeh; to tiah na sak o ih hmuennawk hoi na zae o ih hmuennawk loe amtueng boih boeh pongah, siangpahrang ban ah nam timh o tih, tiah ka thuih, tiah thuih pae han ang naa.
Therefore thus says the Lord, Because you have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because you have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall you be taken.
25 Aw nang, panuet thok Israel siangpahrang, nang ih ani loe phak boeh, zaehaih pongah boenghaih to phak boeh.
And you profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus says the Lord;
26 Lumuek to khring ah loe, sui lumuek to angkhring ah; hae hmuen loe amkhrai boih boeh, atlim ah kaom kami to tapom tahang ueloe, tapom tahang ih kami to atlim ah pakhrak tathukhaih om tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
You have taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: you have abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.
27 Tawnkung angzo ai karoek to kam rosak han, kam rosak han! Tawnkung angzoh naah, Anih khaeah ka paek han, tiah a thuih.
Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.
28 Nang, kami capa, Ammon kaminawk hoi nihcae sethaih kawng pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Sumsen, sumsen to aphong boeh; Kami takroek hanah hmawt het boeh moe, kami hum hanah ni aengh baktiah kampha ah hmawt suidik boeh:
And you, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and you shall say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that you may gleam.
29 nangcae Ammon kaminawk loe tidoeh avang ai hmuen to na khet o moe, nangcae khaeah thuih ih lok amlaihaih to na tang o. To pongah hum han kaom kasae kami ih tahnong ah sumsen to koeng tih boeh, anih humhaih atue loe phak boeh, a zae o haih pongah nihcae boenghaih atue to phak boeh.
While you are seeing vain [visions], and while you are prophesying falsehoods, to bring yourself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
30 Sumsen to tabu thungah ka pacaeng let han maw? Nang kang sakhaih ahmuen, na tapenhaih ahmuen ah, lok kang caek han, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
Turn, rest not in this place wherein you were born: in your own land will I judge you.
31 Na nuiah palung ka phuihaih ka kraih moe, palung ka phuihaih hmai hoiah kang uengh thuih pacoengah, kami hum thaih, tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk ban ah kang paek han.
And I will pour out my wrath upon you, I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction.
32 Nang loe hmaitik koi thing ah na om ueloe, prae thungah na thii to long tih; mi mah doeh nang to panoek mak ai boeh, tiah Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh, tiah ang naa.
You shall be fuel for fire; your blood shall be in the midst of your land; there shall be no remembrance at all of you: for I the Lord have spoken [it].
