Ezekiel 24

1 Saning takawtto, khrah hato haih, ni hato naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,

2 kami capa, vaihni hae ani hoi akhrah hae tarik ah; Babylon siangpahrang mah hae na ni hoi kamtong Jerusalem vangpui to takui boeh.

Son of man, write for yourself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.

3 Laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah patahhaih lok hoiah thui paeh, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Laom to khoeng ah loe a thungah tui to lawn ah:

And speak a parable to the provoking house, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Set on the cauldron, and pour water into it:

4 ngan kahoih, aphaih hoi palaeng moinawk to la ah loe a thungah suem ah; kahoih ahuh to kakoi ah hnawt ah.

and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,

5 Kahoih koek tuu moi to la ah, ahuhnawk to laom tlim ah pacaeng ah, ahuhnawk loe amtet nasoe, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.

[which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.

6 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Athii kalongsak vangpui, nang loe khosak bing boeh! Moi to maeto pacoeng maeto thoe ah, nang loe sum aek mah caak ih athung bang ciim thai ai laom baktiah ni na oh boeh; taham khethaih phoisa to na nuiah amtim hmah nasoe.

Therefore thus says the Lord; O bloody city, the cauldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.

7 Vangpui thungah anih mah athii to longsak, anih loe maiphu hoi aphum hanah athii to long ah krai ai, athii to kamtueng phaeng thlung nuiah ni a kraih;

For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;

8 palungphui hoiah lu ka lak han; athii to aphum han ai ah, anih mah palongh ih athii to kamtueng phaeng thlung nuiah ka suek boeh, tiah thuih.

that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.

9 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Athii palong vangpui loe khosak bing! Kalen parai hmai to tik hanah thing to ka tapop han.

Therefore thus says the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,

10 Thing to tapop ah loe hmaitik ah, hmuihoih thuh ah loe, moi to patet ah, ahuhnawk loe hmai amngaeh o nasoe.

and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;

11 To pacoengah tidoeh kaom ai laom akok to kamngaeh hmai nuiah khoeng ah, hmai mah laom to amngaeh sak tih, to tiah ni laom thung ih kakhoem tui to amkaw ueloe, sum aek to hmai mah kangh boih tih.

and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,

12 Tha na pathok khing cadoeh azom pui ni, kakhoem to krah thai mak ai, hmai mah doeh cingsak thai mak ai.

and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.

13 Jerusalem, nang loe zaehaih hoi amhnoghaih hoiah na koi, kang pasaeh khing boeh, toe na ciim thai ai pongah, na nuiah palung ka phuihaih pha ai karoek to nam hnonghaih to na ciim thai mak ai, tiah thuih.

Her scum shall become shameful, because you did defile yourself: and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?

14 Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh; Kai loe ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak han, atue mah phak boeh; hnuk kang nawn let mak ai, ka paquem mak ai ueloe, dawnpakhuemhaih doeh ka tawn mak ai; na khok takanhaih hoi na sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, lok kang caek o han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices: therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

15 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

16 kami capa, khenah, mik na cop koek ih kami to kang lak pae ving han boeh; toe palungsae hmah loe, qah hmah, mikkhraetui doeh longsak hmah.

Son of man, behold I take from you the desire of your eyes by violence: you shall not lament, neither shall you weep.

17 Pauep ah, kadueh kami to qah haih hmah, lumuek to angmuek ah loe, khokpanai to abuen ah, pahni to khuk hmah, palungsae kami ih takaw to caa hmah, tiah ang naa.

You shall groan for blood, and have mourning upon your loins; your hair shall not be braided upon you, and your sandals [shall be] on your feet; you shall in no wise be comforted by their lips, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

18 To pongah akhawn bangah kaminawk khaeah lok to ka thuih, duembang ah loe ka zu to duek ving; thuih ih lok baktih toengah akhawn bangah ka sak.

And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.

19 To naah kaminawk mah, Hae tiah na sak ih hmuennawk mah kai hnuksak han koi timaw oh, nang thui mak ai maw? tiah ang naa o.

And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are that you do?

20 To pongah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 Israel imthung takoh khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Kaimah ih hmuenciim, kahoih koek nangcae thacakhaih, na khet koeh o ih ahmuen, na paawt o duek ih hmuennawk to kam hnongsak han; na caeh o taak ih na capanawk hoi na canunawk loe sumsen hoiah dueh o tih.

Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.

22 Ka sak ih baktih toengah na sah o toeng tih; pahni tamuep o hmah loe, palungsae kaminawk ih buh doeh caa o hmah.

And you shall do as I have done: you shall not be comforted at their mouth, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

23 Lumuek to angmuek oh loe, khokpanai to abuen oh; palungsae o hmah loe, qah o hmah; toe na zae o haih pongah ngan na zaek o ueloe, maeto hoi maeto na qah o haih tih.

And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall you at all lament or weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.

24 Ezekiel loe nangcae han angmathaih ah om tih; a sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah na sah o toeng tih; hae hmuen phak naah, Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tito na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.

And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall you do, when these things shall come; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

25 Nang, kami capa, nihcae thacakhaih, anghoe o haih hoi lensawkhaih, a khet koeh o ih hmuen, a koeh o ih hmuennawk, a capanawk hoi a canunawk to ka lak pae han.

And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

26 To na niah kaloih kami to nang khaeah angzo ueloe, kangcoeng hmuen tamthang to na thui tih.

that in that day he that escapes shall come to you, to tell [it] you in your ears?

27 Kaloih kami hnuk na niah na pakha to among tih, lok na pae hoi tih, lok na aa mak ai boeh; nang loe nihcae han angmathaih ah om tih; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah ang naa.

In that day your mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; you shall speak, and shall be no longer dumb: and you shall be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
