< Ezekiel 28 >
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 kami capa, Tura ukkung khaeah thui paeh, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nang loe amoekhaih hoiah sithaw ah ka oh, tuipui um li ah, sithaw ih tangkhang pongah kang hnut, tiah na thuih, to pongah Sithaw baktiah na poek, toe nang loe kami ni, Sithaw na ai ni, tiah thuipaeh, tiah ang naa:
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 khenah, nang loe Daniel pongah palung na ha kue maw? Hmuennawk boih ka panoek tiah na poek maw?
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Palung na hahaih hoi na panoekhaih pongah nang raeng, hmuenmae patunghaih tabu thungah sui hoi sum kanglung to na patung mang:
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 hmuenmae zawh na thoem pongah na tawnh ih hmuenmae loe paroeai pop, hmuenmae hoi nang raeng pongah na poekhaih doeh sang.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nangmah hoi nangmah to Sithaw baktih ah na poek pongah,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 khenah, nang khaeah tahmenhaih tawn ai, prae kalah kaminawk kang zoh haih han; na krang hoihaih hoi palung na hahaih to tuk hanah, sumsen na phong o thuih ueloe, na lensawkhaih to amhnong o sak tih.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Nihcae mah tangqom thungah na pakhrah o ueloe, tuipui um li ah kadueh kami baktiah na dueh tih, tiah thuih.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Nang hum kaminawk hmaa ah, Kai loe Sithaw ni, tiah na thuih han vop maw? Nang hum kaminawk ban ah, nang loe kami ah ni na om tih, Sithaw ah na om mak ai.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Tangzat hin aat ai kami prae kalah kaminawk ban ah dueh kami baktiah ni na dueh tih; kai mah ka thuih boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 kami capa, Tura siangpahrang hanah qahhaih laa to sah ah loe, anih khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nang loe koephaih tacik ah na oh, palunghahaih hoi na koi moe, kranghoihaih hoiah na koep.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Sithaw ih Eden takha ah na oh moe, atho kana thlung sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald, turquoise, suinawk hoiah nam thoep; nang to sak na niah nang hanah satuem hoi tamoinawk to paroep coek boeh.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Nang loe khenzawnkung situi hoi pazut ih cherub ah na oh pongah, to tiah kang ohsak; Sithaw mae kaciim nuiah na oh moe, hmai kangqong thlung salakah ahnuk ahma nam kaeh.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Na tapenhaih ni hoi kamtong na sakpazaehaih amtueng ai karoek to, na caehhaih loklamnawk boih ah coek koi om ai.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Toe pop parai acaengnawk hoi na sak ih hmuenmae zawhhaih mah athii longhaih hoiah koi boeh moe, zaehaih na sak boeh; to pongah Sithaw mae kaciim hoiah azat thok ah kang haek han: Aw khenzawnkung cherub, hmai kangqong thlung salak hoiah kang hum han.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Na tungkrang hoihaih pongah na poekhaih to sang moe, na lensawkhaih mah palung na hahaih to anghmatsak boeh; to pongah long ah kang vah tathuk han, kaminawk mah khet hanah, siangpahrangnawk hma ah kang suek han.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Hmuenmae zaw kaminawk na linghaih mah, na ohhaih hmuenciimnawk to amhnongsak boeh; to pongah nangmah thung hoiah hmai to ka tacawtsak moe, kang kanghsak han, nang khen kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah long ih maiphu ah kang coengsak han.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Nang panoek prae kaminawk loe na nuiah kaom hmuen pongah dawnrai o boih tih; nang loe zit kaom kami ah na om ueloe, dungzan ah nang hmaa tih boeh, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 kami capa, Sidon khaeah angqoi ah loe anih misa haih lok to thui ah,
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 anih khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Aw Sidon, nang hae misa ah kang suek han, nang thung hoiah ka lensawkhaih to amtueng tih; anih to lok ka caek moe, ciimcaihaih kam tuengsak naah, nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Anih khaeah nathaih kasae ka tacawtsak moe, loklamnawk ah athii ka longsak han; A thungah ahmaa caa kaminawk to amtim o ueloe, ahmuen kruekah sumsen hoi hum to om tih; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah panoek o tih.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 To naah loe Israel imthung takoh kathun thaih soekhring to om mak ai boeh, anih patoek kami hoi palungsethaih paek thaih soekhringnawk doeh nihcae taengah om o mak ai boeh; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah panoek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kami congca salakah kamhet Israelnawk ka pakhueng let naah loe, nihcae to Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah ka ciimsak han, ka tamna Jakob khaeah ka paek ih angmacae prae thungah khosah o tih boeh.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Nihcae loe to prae thungah misa monghaih hoiah om o tih, imnawk to sah o ueloe, misur takhanawk to sah o tih; ue, nihcae taeng kaom nihcae patoek kaminawk boih lok ka caek naah, nihcae loe mawnhaih om ai ah khosah o tih boeh; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tiah panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
