Ezekiel 29
1 Kum rha dongkah hla rha hnin hlai nit vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh te na maelhmai khueh thil lamtah amah neh Egypt boeih te tonghma thil.
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 Voek lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. A sokko tuilung ah aka kol tuihnam puei, Egypt manghai Pharaoh nang kam pai thil coeng ne. Amah long tah kai taengah, 'Ka sokko he kai loh kamah kah la ka khueh,’ a ti.
Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’
4 Thisum, thisum neh na kam ah kan dueh vetih na sokko kah nga te na lip dongah ka ben ni. Na sokko khui lamloh nang kan doek vetih na sokko kah nga boeih khaw na lip dongah kap ni.
But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.
5 Namah neh na sokko nga boeih khaw na khuikah khosoek ah kam phap vetih, lohma tlai ah na cungku ni. Nang n'khoem pawt vetih n'coi mahpawh. Diklai mulhing ham neh vaan kah vaa ham nang te cakok la kam paek ni.
I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.
6 Te vaengah Egypt khosa boeih loh BOEIPA kamah ni tila a ming uh ni. Amih te Israel imkhui kah capu conghol la om coeng.
Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.
7 Amih loh nang te na kut, kut ah n'tuuk vaengah na paep tih amih kah laengpang boeih na phen pah. Nang dongah a hangdang vaengah nim te na khaem sumsoek tih amih kah cinghen boeih na phit sak.
When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.
8 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh nang taengah cunghang kang khuen vetih nang lamkah hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka thup ni.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
9 Tedae, 'Sokko te kamah ham tih kamah loh ka saii,’ a ti dongah Egypt khohmuen te khopong neh imrhong la a poeh vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni.
The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’
10 Te dongah namah neh na sokko khaw ka pai thil coeng ne. Egypt kho te Syene Migdol lamloh Kusah khorhi due kholing khopong kah imrhong la ka khueh ni.
therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.
11 Te longah hlang kho loh paan pawt vetih rhamsa kho long khaw, te longah paan mahpawh. Kum sawmli khuiah khosa om mahpawh.
No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 Egypt khohmuen te khopong la ka khueh vaengah diklai hman ah pong ni. A khopuei rhoek khaw khopuei rhoek lakli ah a khah vetih kum sawmli khopong la om ni. Egypt te namtom taengla ka taek ka yak vetih amih te diklai ah ka haeh ni.
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
13 Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kum sawmli a thok vaengah Egypt te ka taek ka yak nah pilnam taeng lamloh pahoi ka coi ni.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.
14 Egypt thongtla te ka mael puei vetih amih te amah tuikong khohmuen kah Parthros khohmuen la ka bal sak ni. Te vaengah tlarhoel ram la pahoi om uh ni.
I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 Ram tom lakah tlarhoel la om vetih namtom soah koep cungphoek mahpawh. Amih te ka muei sak daengah ni namtom soah a taemrhai pawt eh.
Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.
16 Te vaengah a taengla amamih hooi uh tih thaesainah aka poek rhoek kah pangtungnah la Israel imkhui he om voel mahpawh. Te phoeiah Kai he, ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
17 Kum kul kum rhih, hla lamhma hnin at dongla a om vaengah BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk tih,
In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Hlang capa aw, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Tyre te a caem kah thohtatnah a len neh a thohtat sak coeng. A lu khaw boeih tlong tih laengpang boeih thool coeng. Tedae amah ham neh a caem ham thapang om hae pawh. Tyre lamkah thohtatnah lamloh a taengah a thohtat sak.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
19 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengah Egypt khohmuen ka paek coeng he. Te vaengah a hlangping te a khuen pah vetih a kutbuem khaw a buem pah ni. A maeh te a poelyoe pah vetih a caem ham thapang la om ni.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
20 A taengah a thohtat te khaw kai ham a saii uh dongah, a thaphu la anih te Egypt khohmuen ka paek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.
21 Te khohnin ah Israel imkhui ham ki cawn ni. Te vaengah nang te amih lakli ah ka ongnah ka paek vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni,” a ti.
In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
