Ezekiel 34
1 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 kami capa, Israel tuu toepkungnawk misa haih lok to taphong ah; lok to taphong ah loe, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah tuu toep kamkinawk khaeah, Angmacae khue khenzawn Israel tuu toep kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Tuu toep kaminawk loe angmah ih tuunawk to pacah mak ai maw?
Son of man, Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, - Prophesy, and thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
3 Nangcae loe tahnutui na naek o, tuumui to nang khuk o moe, kathawk koek moinawk to na boh o, toe tuunawk to na khenzawn o ai.
The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
4 Thazok kaminawk to tha na paek o ai, nganna kaminawk ngan na tui o sak ai moe, ahmaa caa kaminawk ahmaa na kom pae o ai; loklam amkhraeng kaminawk na hoi o let ai moe, anghmaa kaminawk to na pakrong o ai; toe nihcae to tha patohhaih hoiah na uk o.
The weak, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
5 Tuu toep kami om ai pongah tuunawk loe amkhraeng o boih boeh; amkhraeng o phang naah, moi kasannawk ih rawkcak ah ang coeng o.
And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
6 Kai ih tuunawk loe mae hoi maesomnawk ah avah o boih boeh. Long pum ah avah o, mi mah doeh pakrong o ai, tiah thuih.
My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
7 To pongah, nangcae tuu toep kaminawk, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh;
Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
8 kai ka hing baktih toengah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Tuu toep kami om ai, kai ih tuu toep kaminawk loe kai ih tuu to pakrong o ai, kai ih tuu to pacah o ai, angmah hoi angmah to amcah lat pongah, kai ih tuunawk loe hum han ah oh o moe, taw ih moi kasannawk rawkcak ah angcoeng o boih boeh, tiah thuih.
As I live, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
9 To pongah Aw tuu toep kaminawk, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh,
Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
10 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, tuu toep kaminawk to misa kang thawk thuih han, nihcae khaeah kaimah ih tuu kawng to ka thuih han, tuu toep kaminawk mah angmacae ih zok angkok o thaih han ai ah, tuu pacahhaih kang haksak han; nihcae pakha thung hoiah kaimah ih tuunawk to ka pahlong han, to naah ka tuunawk loe nihcae ih buh ah om o mak ai boeh, tiah thuih.
Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
11 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, kaimah ih tuunawk to kaimah roe ka pakrong moe, ka toep han boeh.
For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
12 Tuu toepkung loe athun naah amhet phang tuunawk taengah oh thuih moe, a toep baktih toengah kaimah ih tuunawk to ka toep han; Tamai hoi khoving thungah amhet o haih ahmuen kruek hoiah nihcae to ka pahlong han.
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness;
13 Nihcae to kaminawk salak hoiah ka hoih han, praenawk thung hoiah ka huih cuu moe, angmacae prae thungah ka caeh haih han; nihcae to Israel maenawk nuiah, vapuinawk taeng hoi prae thung ih ohhaih ahmuen boih ah ka pacah han boeh.
And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land:
14 Nihcae to kahoih qam ahmuen ah ka pacah han, nihcae ih takha loe Israel maesangnawk nuiah om tih; nihcae loe Israel maenawk nui ih kahoih takha thungah tabok o ueloe, caaknaek kahoih to caa o tih, tiah thuih.
In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
15 Kaimah ih tuunawk to kaimah roe ka pacah moe, ka taboksak han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
16 Kanghmaa tuu to ka pakrong moe, loklam amkhraeng tuu to ka zaeh let han, ahmaa caa tuu to ahmaa ka komh pae moe, thacak ai tuu to tha ka caksak han; toe kathawk hruk moe, thacak tuu loe ka hum han; tuunawk to toenghaih hoiah ka sak han.
That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
17 Nangcae hanah loe, Aw kai ih tuunawk, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, tuu maeto hoi maeto salak, tuu taenawk hoi maeh taenawk salakah lok ka takroek han.
And as for you O my flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as the he-goats.
18 Nangcae mah kahoih qam to na caak o khue ai ah, kanghmat qam doeh na cawh o han vop maw? Tui kaciim naek khue khawt ai ah tui kaciim to na cawh o han vop maw?
Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
19 Kai ih tuunawk mah na cawh o ih qam to caa o ueloe, nam nuu o sak ih tui to nae o tih maw? tiah thuih.
And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
20 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, tuu kathawk hoi tuu kazaek to ka tapraek han.
Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
21 Nangcae loe thazok tuunawk to ahmuen kruekah amhetsak hanah, panak hoiah maw, palaeng hoiah maw na et o moe, takii hoiah na tanawt o;
Because with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered them abroad
22 to pongah kaimah ih tuunawk to ka pahlong han, nihcae loe hum han ih tuu ah om o mak ai boeh; tuu maeto hoi maeto ka tapraek han.
Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
23 Nihcae nuiah tuu toepkung maeto ka suek han, anih mah tuunawk to pacah tih, ka tamna David loe tuu toep kami ah om ueloe, tuunawk to pacah tih, tiah thuih.
And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
24 Kai Angraeng loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, ka tamna David loe nihcae salakah siangpahrang capa ah om tih; Kai Angraeng mah thuih boeh.
And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, have spoken;
25 Nihcae hoi angdaeh lokkamhaih to ka sak han, moi kasannawk to prae thung hoiah ka huih boih han; to naah tuunawk loe praezaek ah om o ueloe, taw thungah kamong ah pra o tih boeh.
And I will solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep in the forests;
26 Nihcae hoi kaimah ih maesom taengnawk boih tahamhoihaih ka paek han; atue phak naah kho kang zohsak han, to naah tahamhoihaih khotui to om tih.
And I, will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;
27 Lawk ih thingkungnawk mah thingthai athai tih, long mah doeh aannawk to tacawtsak tih; prae kaminawk doeh monghaih hoiah khosah o tih; nihcae mah phawh ih hnam to ka petsak moe, misong ah omsak kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah ka pahlong naah, nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah panoek o tih.
And the tree of the field shall yield his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
28 Nihcae loe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah hum han ih om o mak ai boeh, prae thung ih moi kasannawk mah doeh kaek o mak ai boeh; toe kamong ah om o ueloe, mi mah doeh pazih o mak ai boeh.
And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.
29 Nihcae hanah ahmin kamthang takha to ka sak pae han, prae thungah khokhahaih om mak ai boeh; Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah kasae thuihaih doeh om let mak ai boeh.
And I will raise up unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.
30 To naah nihcae mah, nihcae ih Angraeng Sithaw, Kai loe nihcae hoi nawnto ka oh, Israel imthung takoh loe kai ih kami ah oh o, tiah panoek o tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
31 Tuu ka pacahaih ahmuen ah kaom, kai ih tuunawk, nangcae loe kami ah ni na oh o; Kai loe nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang thuih.
Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
