Ezekiel 24
1 A kum ko neh hla rha kah hlasae hnin rha dongah kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,”
And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,
2 Hlang loh capa aw, tahae khohnin kuelhuelh kah khohnin ming he namah ham daek rhoe daek laeh. Tahae khohnin kuelhuelh ah Babylon manghai loh Jerusalem a dum coeng.
“Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
3 Boekoek imkhui te thuidoeknah neh thuidoek lamtah amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Am te khueng, khueng lamtah a khuiah tui sak bal.
And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it,
4 Amah maehpoel neh a phai dongkah maehpoel then boeih te a khuiah sang lamtah a laeng rhuh dongkah a sathen neh baetawt sak.
To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.
5 Boiva sakthen te khuen lamtah a rhuh te a dangah hmoek bal. A tlawknah dongah tlawk saeh lamtah a rhuh te a khui duela hmin saeh.
To take the choice of the flock, And also to pile the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst.
6 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei aih, am khaw a khuikah a khawt phoeikah a khawt hoeng mai la. Te te a koeih pawh a maehpoel a maehpoel mah tloeh lamtah hmulung khaw naan thil rhae boeh.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum has not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it.
7 A thii khaw laipi te vuei thil ham diklai ah hawk pawt tih a laklung kah thaelpang aka tlaai soah a hawk.
For her blood has been in her midst, She has set it on a clear place of a rock, She has not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
8 Kosi sah ham, phulohnah neh phuloh ham te thaelpang a tlaai dongkah a thii ka khueh te dah uh kangna pawh.
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.
9 Te dongah Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei te kai loh hlanhmai ka hueng thil van bitni.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
10 Thing hawn lamtah hmai toih laeh. Maeh te na khok neh anhoi thungnom thil lamtah a rhuhrhong te tlum saeh.
Make the wood abundant, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burned.
11 A hoeng te hmai-alh soah tloeng lamtah ling saeh. Rhohum te a tlum daengah ni a khui kah a tihnai te tlae vetih a khawt khaw a cing eh.
And cause it to stand empty on its coals, So that its bronze is hot and burning, Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, Its scum is consumed.
12 A khawt mah thah coeng tih a kawt te hmai loh a noeng pawt dongah thinngan la a ngak coeng.
She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, Her scum [is] in the fire.
13 Na tihnai khonuen rhamtat lamloh nang kan caihcil dae na tihnai lamloh na caihcil moenih. Nang sokah ka kosi koep ka hlam due na caihcil moenih.
Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, Because I have cleansed you, And you have not been cleansed, You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
14 BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui te thoeng tih ka saii vaengah ka hlahpham pawt vetih ka rhen mahpawh. Na longpuei bangla ko ka hlawt pawt vetih na khoboe rhamlang bangla nang lai n'tloek uh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
I, YHWH, have spoken, It has come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I regret, According to your ways, and according to your acts, They have judged you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
16 “Hlang capa aw, na mik kah a ngailaemnah te nang lamloh lucik neh ka loh coeng ne. Tedae rhaengsae boeh, rhap boeh, na mikphi long sak boeh.
“Son of man, behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come.
17 Na kii khaw kuemsuem lamtah aka duek ham nguekcoinah saii boeh. Na lukhuem te namah ah hlin lamtah na khokhom khaw na kho dongah buen laeh. Na hmui khaw dah boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca boeh,” a ti.
Cease to groan [and] make no mourning [for] the dead, bind your headdress on yourself, and put your shoes on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and you do not eat [the] bread of men.”
18 Te dongah pilnam te te mincang ah ka voek. Hlaem vaengah ka yuu duek tih kai uen bangla mincang ah ka saii.
And I speak to the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
19 Te vaengah kai taengah pilnam loh, “Mamih ham na thui mahpawt nim? Balae tih kaimih ham he he na saii,” a ti uh.
And the people say to me, “Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?”
20 Amih te ka voek vaengah kai taengah BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
And I say to them, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
21 “Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Ka rhokso te ka poeih coeng ne. Hoemdamnah na sarhi khaw, na mik kah ngailaemnah neh na hinglu kah huengaihnah dongah na capa neh na canu na hlun te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.
Say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am defiling My sanctuary, The excellence of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, fall by sword.
22 Te vaengah ka saii bangla saii uh. Na hmui te dah uh boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca uh boeh.
And you have done as I have done, You have not covered over the upper lip, And you do not eat [the] bread of men.
23 Na lukhuem te na lu dongah, na khokhom te na kho dongah khuehuh. Rhaengsae uh boel lamtah rhap uh boeh. Namamih kathaesainah neh na muei uh vaengah hlang he a manuca ham na nguek uh bitni.
And your headdresses [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled to one another.
24 Te dongah Ezekiel nang ham kopoekrhai la om bitni. A cungkuem a saii bangla na saii tih a thoeng vaengah kai he ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila na ming uh bitni.
And Ezekiel has been for a type to you; according to all that he has done you do. In its coming in—you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
25 Nang hlang capa aw amih lamkah a lunghim, a boeimang omthennah, a mikhmuh kah ngailaemnah neh a hinglu kah olrhuh, a capa neh a canu ka loh te khohnin pakhat dongah moenih a?
“And you, son of man, is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the song of their soul—their sons and their daughters?
26 Te khohnin kah hlangyong te na hna dongah olthang la ha pawk ni.
In that day the escaped one comes to you to cause the ears to hear.
27 Te khohnin ah na ka hang ong vetih hlangyong te na voek vetih phah voel mahpawh. Amih ham kopoekrhai la na om tangloeng vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
In that day your mouth is opened with the escaped and you speak, and are not silent anymore, and you have been for a type to them, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
