Ezekiel 8
1 Saning taruk, khrah tarukto haih, ni pangato naah, kaimah im ah kang hnut, to naah Judah kacoehtanawk ka hmaa ah anghnut o, to ah Angraeng ih ban ka nuiah oh.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
2 Ka khet naah, Hmai baktiah krang to amtueng; kaeng tlim loe hmai baktiah oh moe, kaeng ranui loe kampha sum baktiah oh.
And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
3 To tiah kamtueng krang loe ban baktiah oh, a ban to phok tahang moe, ka lu ih sam to patawnh; Sithaw hnuksakhaih hoiah Muithla mah van hoi long salakah ang tapom tahang moe, Jerusalem aluek bangah ang caeh haih. Aluek bang ih khongkha im a thungah ang hoih. To ah Sithaw mah panuet ih krang suekhaih ahmuen to oh, to hmuen mah uthaih palungthin to tacawtsak.
And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
4 Khenah, azawn ah ka oh naah ka hnuk ih hnuksakhaih baktih toengah, to ah Israel Sithaw lensawkhaih to kai khaeah amtueng.
And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
5 To pacoengah anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, aluek bang khen tahang ah, tiah ang naa. To pongah ka khet tahang, to naah hmaicam aluek bang akunhaih khongkha ah panuet thok krang to ka hnuk.
And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.
6 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, Kaimah ih hmuenciim to ka caeh taak ving hanah, Israel imthung takoh mah hae ahmuen ah sak o ih thui laek ai panuet thok hmuen to na hnuk maw? Toe amlaem let rae ah, hae pongah panuet thok kue a sak o ih hmuennawk to na hnu vop tih, tiah ang naa.
And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.
7 To pacoengah anih mah khongkha thung ih longhma ah ang caeh haih; ka khet naah, tapang nuiah akhaw maeto ka hnuk.
And he brought me to the porch of the court.
8 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, tapang to takae vawk ah, tiah ang naa; tapang to ka takaeh naah, thok maeto ka hnuk.
And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
9 Anih mah kai khaeah, Athung bangah caeh ah loe, nihcae mah hae ah sak o ih kasae hmuen hoi panuet thok hmuennawk to khenah, tiah ang naa.
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
10 To pongah ka kun moe, ka khet naah, tapang nuiah soi o ih zok hoi kavak moi krangnawk, panuet thok moi kasan krangnawk hoi Israel imthung takoh mah bok ih krangnawk to ka hnuk.
So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
11 Nihcae hmaa ah Israel imthung takoh kacoehtanawk qui sarihto angdoet o, nihcae um ah Shaphan capa Jaazaniah to angdoet. Nihcae mah hmuihoih tui to ban ah sin o boih, hmuihoih tui akhue loe ranui bangah caeh tahang.
And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
12 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, Israel imthung takoh kacoehtanawk boih mah, krang suekhaih im thungah tamquta hoi a sak o ih hmuen to na hnuk boeh maw? Angraeng mah prae pahnawt sut boeh pongah, anih mah aicae hnu mak ai boeh, tiah a poek o, tiah ang naa.
And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
13 To pacoengah anih mah kai khaeah, Nihcae mah sak o ih panuet thok kue hmuennawk to na hnu vop tih, tiah ang naa.
And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.
14 To pacoengah Angraeng im ranui bang akunhaih khongkha taengah ang caeh haih; to ah Tammuz kaqah haih, anghnu nongpatanawk to ka hnuk.
And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
15 Anih mah kai khaeah, Aw kami capa, hae hmuen hae na hnuk boeh maw? Amlaem let rae ah, hae hmuen pongah panuet thok kue hmuennawk to na hnu vop tih, tiah ang naa.
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
16 To pacoengah anih mah Angraeng imthung ih longhma ah ang caeh haih, khenah, Angraeng ih im akunhaih khongkha, im hma hoi hmaicam salakah kami pumphae pangato oh o, nihcae loe Angraeng ih im to angqoi o taak moe, ni angzae bangah anghae o; tacawt tahang ni to a bok o.
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
17 Anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, hae hmuen hae na hnuk boeh maw? Judah imthung takoh mah hae tih khoek to ah maw panuet thok kasae hmuennawk to hae ahmuen ah sak o? Nihcae mah prae to patangkhanghaih hoi raihaih hoiah koi o sak moe, kai palung ang phui o sak; khenah, nihcae loe angmacae hnah ah thing tahang to takaek o.
And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
18 To pongah hae kaminawk nuiah palung ka phui thuih han; tahmenhaih mik hoiah ka khen mak ai boeh, paquemh roe ka paquemh mak ai boeh. Ka naa taengah hang o khing cadoeh, nihcae ih lok to ka tahngai pae mak ai boeh, tiah a thuih.
Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
