< Ezekiel 13 >

1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa aw, Israel tonghma tonghma rhoek soah tonghma pah lamtah amamih lungbuei lamkah tonghma rhoek te, “BOEIPA ol hnatun,” ti nah.
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD!
3 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. Anunae tonghma ang rhoek aih te, amamih mueihla hnuk a vai uh soe tih a hmuh khaw om hae pawh.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing.
4 Israel nang kah tonghma rhoek te imrhong dongkah maetang rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.
5 A puut te paan uh boeh. BOEIPA khohnin kah caemtloek dongah pai ham Israel im kah vongtung te biing laeh.
You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.
6 A poeyoek la aka hmu neh laithae bihma loh BOEIPA kah olphong la a thui. BOEIPA loh amih te tueih pawt dae ol thoh ham a ngaiuep uh.
They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
7 Mikhlam te a poeyoek la na hmuh uh tih laithae tonghma te na thui uh pawt het nim? BOEIPA kah olphong aka ti rhoek bal khaw kai loh ka uen moenih.
Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?
8 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. A poeyoek la na cal uh tih laithae ni na hmuh uh. Te dongah ni kai loh nangmih taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong kang khuen.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 Ka kut loh a poeyoek la aka hmu tonghma rhoek te a om thil vetih ka pilnam kah baecenol khuiah laithae la aka hma rhoek khaw om uh mahpawh. Israel imkhui kah ca dongah khaw daek uh pawt vetih Israel khohmuen ah khaw kun uh mahpawh. Te vaengah kai ka Boeipa Yahovah tila nan ming uh bitni.
My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
10 Ka pilnam te a maelh uh dongah ngaimongnah a ti te khaw ngaimongnah hae moenih. Anih loh vong paam sak tih amih loh a kak la a bol uh coeng ke.
Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,
11 A rhorhap neh aka bol rhoek te thui pah. Khonal a pai vaengah tim vetih a yo ni. Rhael lung loh nangmih soah cuhu vetih hlipuei khohli loh n'hep ni.
tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.
12 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Pangbueng cungku coeng ke, thungbok neh na bol te ta?' ti mahpawt nim?
Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
13 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Ka kosi ah hlipuei khohli ka tueih vetih ka thintoek ah khonal kah a yo neh a bawtnah te kosi kah rhael lung ham om bini.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
14 A rhorhap la abol pangbueng te ka koengloeng vetih diklai la ka nolh ni. Tedae a khoengim a poelyoe tih a cungku vaengah amah lakli ah n'khah uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15 Ka kosi he pangbueng taeng neh a rhorhap aka bol taengah ka hong eh. Tedae nangmih te, “Pangbueng pawt tih aka bol bal moenih,” ka ti ni.
And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—
16 Jerusalem taengah aka tonghma Israel tonghma rhoek neh ngaimongnah mangthui a hmuh dae ngaimongnah moenih. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
17 Hlang capa nang loh na pilnam nu te na maelhmai khueh thil. Amih amamih lungbuei lamloh aka tonghma khaw hlang rhoek khaw tonghma thil.
Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them
18 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. Anunae kai kut sukvai tom ah luhoe aka hui tih hinglu mae ham a songsang cungkuem neh a lu dongkah lumuekhni aka saii rhoek aih. Ka pilnam kah hinglu na mae cakhaw namah kah hinglu tah na hing venim?
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
19 Cangtun kutpha yet ham te ka pilnam taengah kai nan poeih uh. A duek pawt koi khaw buh kamat ham hinglu na duek sakuh. Hinglu a hing ham vaengah laithae aka hnatun ka pilnam te nangmih kah laithae loh hing sak pawh.
You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.
20 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Nangmih kah luhoe te ka pai thil coeng ne. Te nen ni nangmih loh aka phuelh bangla hinglu te pahoi na mae uh. Tedae te te nangmih ban dong lamloh ka phen vetih hinglu te ka hlah ni. Te hinglu te nangmih loh aka phuelh bangla na mae uh.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.
21 Na lumuekhni te ka phen vetih ka pilnam te na kut lamloh ka huul ni. Te daengah ni na kut dongkah rhalvong la koep om uh pawt vetih BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh eh.
I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 Laithae loh aka dueng kah lungbuei a paeng sak. Kai loh anih thak ka khoeih sak pawt tih halang kut ka moem pah dongah nim amah a hing ham a boethae longpuei lamloh a mael pawh.
Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,
23 Te dongah a poeyoek la na hmu uh pawt vetih bihma khaw koep hma mahpawh. Ka pilnam te na kut lamloh ka huul vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni,” a ti.
therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
