Ezekiel 3

1 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, na hnuk ih hmuen to caa ah; hae caqam tangoeng caak pacoengah, caeh ah loe Isarael imthung takoh khaeah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.

And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.

2 To pongah pakha ka angh, anih mah to caqam tangoeng to ang caksak.

So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,

3 To pacoengah anih mah, Kami capa, kang paek ih caqam tangoeng to caa ah loe zok to koisak ah, tiah ang naa. To pongah ka caak, to naah ka pakha thungah khoitui baktiah luep.

your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.

4 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, Israel imthung takoh khaeah caeh ah loe ka thuih ih loknawk hae nihcae khaeah taphong ah.

And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.

5 Na panoek ai ih lok apae kami, karai parai lok apae kaminawk khaeah kang patoeh ai, Israel imthung takoh khaeah ni kang patoeh.

For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;

6 Na panoek ai ih lok, karai parai lok apae kaminawk khaeah kang patoeh ai. To baktih kaminawk khaeah kang patoeh nahaeloe, nihcae mah na lok tahngai o lat tih.

neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.

7 Toe Israel imthung takoh loe ka lok tahngai o ai pongah, na lok doeh tahngai o mak ai; Israel imthung takoh loe palung len o moe, palungthah o boih.

But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.

8 Khenah, nihcae ih mikhmai baktiah na mikhmai tha kang caksak moe, nihcae ih lupataeh baktiah na lupataeh doeh tha ka caksak boeh.

And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.

9 Na lupataeh to kamtak koek thlung pong tamtak kue ah kang sak pae boeh; nihcae loe laisaep thaih kami ah om o cadoeh, zii hmah; nihcae mah doeh na pazih hmah nasoe, tiah ang naa.

And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.

10 To pacoengah kai khaeah, Kami capa, kang thuih ih loknawk boih kahoih ah tahngai ah loe, palung thungah pakuem ah.

And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.

11 Misong ah kaom na caengnawk khaeah caeh ah loe Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah taphong ah, tahngai o maw, tahngai o ai maw, nihcae khaeah lok to taphong ah, tiah ang naa.

And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.

12 To pacoengah muithla mah kai ang tapom tahang, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah Angraeng lensawkhaih tacawt naah, Tahamhoihaih om nasoe! tiah ka hnuk bangah kaom kalen parai lok to ka thaih.

Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.

13 Hinghaih katawn hmuennawk maeto hoi maeto mah boh ih pakhraeh tuennawk, nihcae taeng ih rel khok tuennawk hoi katuen parai atuennawk to ka thaih.

And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.

14 To naah muithla mah ang tapom tahang moe, kalah bangah ang caeh haih, kai loe mawnhaih, palungphuihaih hoiah ka bang; toe ka nuiah thacak Angraeng ih ban to oh.

And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.

15 Khebar vapui taeng, misongnawk ohhaih Tel Abib ahmuen ah ka phak, nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah ka oh, nihcae salakah dawnraihaih hoi ni sarihto thung kang hnut.

Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.

16 Ni sarihto pacoengah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,

17 kami capa, Israel imthung takoh khenzawnkung ah kang suek boeh; to pongah kang thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah loe, kai khae ih acoehaih lok hae nihcae khae thuiah.

I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.

18 Kai mah, Kahoih ai kami maeto khaeah, Nang loe na dueh tangtang tih boeh, tiah ka naa; Toe nang mah anih to acoehaih na paek ai, kahoih ai kami hinghaih pahlong hanah, kahoih ai kami khaeah acoe paekhaih lok na thui pae ai: to naah a sak ih zaehaih baktiah kahoih ai kami to dueh ving nahaeloe, anih ih athii tho to nang khaeah ka suk han.

When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

19 Toe kasae kami to acoehaih na paek to mah, kasae sakhaih hoi sethaih loklam to angqoi taak ai nahaeloe, a zaehaih pongah dueh tih; toe nang loe na hinghaih to pahlong boeh.

But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.

20 To baktih toengah katoeng kami loe a toenghaih to toengsut moe, kahoih ai hmuen to sah nahaeloe, a hmaa ah amthaekhaih ka suek pae han, anih loe to ah dueh tih; anih khaeah acoehaih lok na thui pae ai pongah, anih loe a zaehaih baktiah dueh tih, a sak ih toenghaih to panoek pae mak ai boeh; anih ih athii tho to nang khaeah ka suk han.

And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

21 Toe zaehaih sak han ai ah katoeng kami to acoehaih na paek pongah, katoeng kami mah zaehaih sah ai nahaeloe, acoehaih lok tahngai pongah, anih loe hing tih; nang doeh na hinghaih to pahlong tih, tiah ang naa.

But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.

22 To ah Angraeng ih ban ka nuiah oh; anih mah kai khaeah, Angthawk loe, azawn ah caeh ah, to ah nang khaeah lok kang thuih han, tiah ang naa.

And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.

23 To pongah kang thawk moe, azawn ah ka caeh; Khenah, Khebar vapui taengah ka hnuk ih lensawkhaih baktih toengah, to ah doeh Angraeng lensawkhaih to oh, to naah kai loe tabok hoiah ka kuep.

And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.

24 To pacoengah muithla kai thungah akun moe, ka khok nuih ang doetsak, kai khaeah, Caeh ah, thok to khah loe im thungah om ah, tiah ang naa.

Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.

25 Toe nang, Aw kami capa, khenah, nihcae mah qui hoi na pathlet o ueloe, minawk salakah na caeh thaih han ai ah, qui hoiah na pathlet o tih.

And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.

26 Nihcae loe laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah oh o pongah, nihcae na zoeh thaih han ai ah, na palai to pakha ranuiah kang betsak caeng han.

Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.

27 Toe lok kang thuih naah, na pakha to kang paongh pae han, to naah nihcae khaeah, nangcae loe laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah na oh o pongah, tahngai kami loe tahngai nasoe loe, tahngai ai kami loe tahngai hmah nasoe, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.

But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
