Ezekiel 36

1 Kami capa, Israel maenawk khaeah lokthui ah, hae tiah thui ah, Nangcae Israel ih maenawk, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh,

And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:

2 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Na misanawk mah, “Ha, ha, canghnii ih hmuensangnawk loe kaicae han ni oh boeh, tiah a thuih o pongah;

This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:

3 lok to taphong ah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nangcae loe anghmat Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih qawk ah na oh o thai hanah, nihcae mah ang paro o moe, ahnuk ahma bang hoiah ang caak o, minawk mah kasae thui ih kami ah na oh o, tiah thuih:

For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

4 to pongah aw Israel maenawk, Angraeng Sithaw ih lok hae tahngai oh; Angraeng Sithaw mah, maenawk, maesomnawk, vapuinawk, tahawtnawk to pong sut ueloe, azawn taengah kaom Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah pahnui thui ih angqai krang vangpui ah om tih boeh, tiah thuih.

For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

5 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Poek nawmhaih hoi kai ih prae lomh moe, uthaih palung hoi angmacae ih qawk baktiah kala, anghmat Sithaw panoek ai prae kaminawk hoi Edumea kaminawk boih khaeah hmai baktih amngaeh palungphuihaih hoiah misa suekhaih lok to ka taphong tangtang boeh, tiah thuih.

For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

6 To pongah Israel prae kawng ah, maenawk, maesomnawk, vapuinawk, longhawhnawk khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na tongh o hmoek boeh pongah, paroeai palungphuihaih, uthaih hoiah lok ka thuih boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.

For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

7 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nangcae taengah kaom Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe angmacae azathaih to zok o tih, tiah ban phokhaih hoiah lok ka kam boeh.

For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.

8 Toe nangcae, Aw Israel maenawk, tanghang to na cawn o ueloe, kai ih Israel kaminawk hanah athaih na thai pae o tih, nihcae loe angzoh o tom boeh.

But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.

9 Khenah, kai loe nangcae hanah ka oh, nangcae khaeah kam laem let moe, nangcae nuiah laikok atok pacoengah, aanmu to ka haeh han.

For truly I am for you, and I will be turned to you, and you will be ploughed and planted:

10 Nangcae nui hoi Israel imthung takohnawk boih nuiah kami ka pungsak han; vangpuinawk thungah kami om ueloe, kamro hmuennawk to sak let ah om tih.

And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;

11 Nangcae nuiah kami hoi moinawk ka pungsak han, nihcae loe pung o ueloe, caa sah o tih; nangcae loe na oh o haih ahmuen kangquem ah kang suek han, to naah nangcae loe hnukbang khosakhaih pongah khosak na hoih o kue tih; to naah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.

Man and beast will be increased in you, and they will have offspring and be fertile: I will make you thickly peopled as you were before, and will do more for you than at the first: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

12 Ue, nangcae nuiah kaimah ih kami, Israelnawk to kam kaehsak han; nihcae mah na la o ueloe, nihcae ih qawk ah na om o tih, nangcae loe nihcae ih caa anghmasak kami ah na om o mak ai boeh.

Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

13 Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; kaminawk mah nang khaeah, nang, long loe kaminawk to na caak moe, a caanawk doeh nam rosak, tiah thuih o;

This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

14 to pongah kami to na caa mak ai boeh, acaeng kaminawk doeh nam rosak mak ai boeh.

For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

15 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah pahnui thuihaih om mak ai boeh, kaminawk mah kasae thuihaih doeh kang tongh sak mak ai ueloe, na prae kaminawk doeh amtim o sak mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.

And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.

16 Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

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

17 kami capa, Israel kaminawk angmacae prae thungah oh o naah, angmacae koeh baktiah sak o ih tuinuen hoi hmuennawk mah prae to amhnongsak boeh; nihcae ih tuinuen loe nongpata mah khrah kruek hnuk ih kaciim ai hmuen baktiah ni oh.

Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

18 To pongah prae thungah athii to long o sak moe, krang sakhaih rang hoiah prae to panuet thok ah a sak o pongah, nihcae nuiah palungphuihaih ka kraih thuih boeh.

So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

19 Nihcae to Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kam hetsak moe, prae kruekah ka proengsak; a sak o ih tuinuen hoi hmuennawk baktih toengah, nihcae to lok ka caek.

And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.

20 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah a caeh o naah, Hae kaminawk loe Sithaw ih kami ah oh o, nihcae loe angmacae prae thung hoiah tacawt o boeh, tiah kaminawk mah thuih o.

And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.

21 Toe Israel imthung takoh loe caehhaih ahmuen kruek, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kai ahmin kasae a thuih o pongah, kaimah ih kaciim ahmin to ka tahmenh.

But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.

22 To pongah Israel imthung takoh khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Aw Israel imthung takoh, hae hmuen hae nang hanah ka sah mak ai, na caeh o haih ahmuen kruek ih Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kasae na thuih o ih, kaciim ka hmin han ih ni ka sak.

For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.

23 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kasae na thuih o ih kalen, Kaimah ih ahmin to kam tuengsak han; nangcae rang hoiah ka ciimhaih nihcae hmaa ah kam tuengsak naah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.

And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

24 Nangcae to Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk thung hoiah kang hoih o han, prae thung boih hoiah kang tacuu o moe, na prae thungah kang caeh o haih let han.

For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.

25 Nangcae nuiah kaciim tui to kang pathaek han, to naah loe na ciimcai o tih boeh; nam hnong o haih hoi krang na bok o haih thung hoiah kang pasaeh o han.

And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

26 Kangtha palungthin to kang paek o moe, nangcae thungah kangtha pakhra to ka suek han; thlung baktih kamtaak palungthin to na ngan thung hoiah ka lak moe, angan kaom palungthin to kang paek han.

And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

27 Nangcae thungah kaimah ih Muithla to ka suek moe, ka paek ih loknawk to ka pazuisak han; to naah ka lokcaekhaih to na pakuem o ueloe, na sah o tih boeh.

And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.

28 Nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah na om o tih; nangcae loe Kai ih kami ah na om o ueloe, Kai doeh nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka om tih.

So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

29 Ciimcai ai hmuennawk boih thung hoiah kang pahlong o han; cang to ka kawk moe, paroeai ka pungsak han, nangcae nuiah khokhahaih om mak ai boeh.

And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.

30 Thingthai qumpo to ka pungsak moe, lawk ih aannawk doeh ka pungsak han, to naah khokhahaih pongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah ahminsethaih na tawn o mak ai boeh.

And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

31 To naah na sak ih tuinuen sethaih hoi kahoih ai hmuennawk to na panoek tih, na sak ih zaehaih hoi panuet thok hmuennawk pongah nangmah hoi nangmah to nam nuet tih boeh.

And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.

32 Hae hmuen hae nangcae hanah ka sah ai, tito panoek oh, Aw Israel imthung takoh, na sak o ih hmuennawk pongah azat oh loe, ahminsethaih hoiah om oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.

Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.

33 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Na zaehaihnawk boih ka pasaeh moe, kamro hmuennawk to ka sak let naah loe, vangpui thungah kang ohsak han.

This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.

34 A taengah caeh tathuk caeh tahang kaminawk mikhnuk ah kapong sut ahmuen to laikok atokhaih ahmuen ah om let tih boeh.

And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.

35 Nihcae mah, Hae ih kapong sut ahmuen loe Eden takha baktiah oh boeh; angqai krangah kaom, kapong sut moe, amro vangpuinawk doeh sipae to thungh o moe, kaminawk khosak o boeh, tiah thui o tih.

And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.

36 To naah nangcae taengah kaom Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Kai Angraeng mah ni, kamro ahmuennawk to sak let moe, kapong sut ahmuen ah laikok atok let, Kai Angraeng loe thuih ih lok baktiah sak, tito panoek o tih.

Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.

37 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Hae hmuen sak hanah Israel imthung takoh mah na hni o tih; nihcae loe tuu baktiah ka pungsak han.

This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

38 Canghnii ah Jerusalem loe poihsak naah boh han ih kaciim tuunawk hoiah koi mong baktih toengah, kamro vangpuinawk doeh kami hoiah koi o tih; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah thuih.

Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
