Ezekiel 32
1 Kum hlai nit, hla hlai nit, hlasae hnin at a pha vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh ham rhahlung phueih pah lamtah amah te thui pah. Namtom kah sathuengca na puet dae tuipuei kah tuihnam bangla na om. Na tuiva ah m'poh tih na kho neh tui na nok dongah a tuiva na nu sak.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui ni. Nang soah ka lawk he pilnam hlangping neh kan thing khungdaeng vetih nang te kai kah yaehtaboeih neh n'doek uh ni.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Nang te diklai ah kam phap vetih khohmuen hoeng ah nang kang hut ni. Vaan kah vaa cungkuem loh nang soah cu vetih nang te diklai mulhing tom ka cung sak ni.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Na saa te tlang ah ka khueh vetih na rhok te kolrhawk ah ka bae sak ni.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Na thii la tlang due na ka long neh diklai ka suep vetih nang nen te sokca rhoek khaw bae uh ni.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Nang kan thih vaengah vaan te ka thing vetih a aisi te ka kopang sak ni. Khomik te cingmai neh ka thing vetih hla kah a vangnah khaw sae mahpawh.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Vaan kah a aa vangnah cungkuem te nang soah ka hmuep sak vetih na khohmuen soah hmaisuep ka tlak sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa ka Yahovah kah olphong ni.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Amih te na ming pawt dae diklai kah namtom taengah na pocinah te ka khuen vaengah pilnam kah lungbuei muep ka veet ni.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Nang soah pilnam boeiping te ka pong sak vetih a manghai rhoek khaw nang kong ah hlithae loh a yawn ni. Amih mikhmuh ah ka cunghang ka ka hlaek vetih na cungkunah hnin ah tah hlang he a hinglu ham mikhaptok ah lakueng uh ni.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Ka Boeipa Yahovah he ni a thui. Babylon manghai kah cunghang he nang taengla ha pawk ni.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Amih namtom hlanghaeng neh hlangrhalh boeih kah cunghang dongah na hlangping te ka cungku sak ni. Egypt kah hoemdamnah te a rhoelrhak uh vetih a hlangping khaw boeih a mitmoeng sak ni.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Tui yet taeng lamkah a rhamsa boeih te ka milh sak ni. Te te hlang kho loh koep nok pawt vetih rhamsa khomae loh te te nok mahpawh.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Te vaengah a tui ka cil sak vetih a tuiva te situi bangla ka long sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 Egypt khohmuen te khopong la ka khueh coeng. Te dongah a khuikah khosa boeih te ka ngawn tih khohmuen te a pum la a pong vaengah BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh bitni.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 He rhahlung neh anih te a rhaengsae uh ni. Namtom canu rhoek loh Egypt ham rhaengsae uh vetih a hlangping boeih ham rhaengsae uh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Kum hlai nit hla khat hnin hlai nga vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 Hlang capa aw, Egypt hlangping ham rhathi laeh. Anih khaw diklai laedil duela tangrhom ah aka suntla taengah namtom tanu aka khuet neh suntla uh saeh.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Unim na hmae thil ngai? Suntla lamtah pumdul rhoek taengah yalh laeh.
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 cunghang dongkah a mop te cunghang dongkah rhok lakli ah ni a yalh eh. Anih neh a hlangping boeih te sol laeh.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Anih te Saelkhui lamkah neh pathen hlangrhalh rhoek neh anih aka bom rhoek loh thui uh saeh. cunghang dongkah pumdul rhok dongla suntla uh tih yalh uh lah ko. (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Te ah te Assyria neh a hlangping boeih he a phuel kaepvai kah cunghang dongah aka cungku kah rhok boeih ni.
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 Tangrhom hlaep ah a phuel a khueh pa uh tih a phuel kaepvai ah a hlangping om. Amih boeih tah cunghang dongah cungku tih mulhing khohmuen ah rhihnah aka pae kah a rhok ni.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 Te ah te Elam neh a hlangping boeih a phuel kaepvai ah om. Amih boeih tah cunghang dongah aka cungku kah a rhok ni. Te rhoek te diklai laedil ah pumdul la suntla uh. Te long te mulhing khohmuen ah amih kah rhihnah a paek tih a mingthae te tangrhom kah aka suntla neh a phueih uh.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Anih ham tah rhok lakli ah ni thingkong a khueh pauh. A hlangping boeih loh a phuel kah a kaepvai ah omuh. Amih te cunghang dongah a rhok pumdul boeih ni. Mulhing khohmuen ah amamih kah rhihnah a paek tih a mingthae a phueih uh phoeiah tangrhom kah aka suntla neh rhok lakli ah ni a yalh.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 Te ah te Tubal Meshek neh a hlangping boeih loh a phuel kah a kaepvai ah om. Amih boeih tah amamih kah rhihnah te mulhing khohmuen ah a paek uh dongah pumdul la cunghang neh a poeih rhoek ni.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Pumdul lamloh aka cungku hlangrhalh taengah khaw yalh uh hae pawh. A caemtloek hnopai neh saelkhui la suntla uh tih a cunghang te a lu hmuiah a doelh uh. A hlangrhalh rhoek loh mulhing khohmuen ah rhihnah pae cakhaw amamih kathaesainah te amamih rhuh dongah ni a tlak. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 Nang khaw pumdul lakli ah na bawt vetih cunghang dongkah rhok neh na yalh ni.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Te ah te Edom kah a manghai rhoek neh a khoboei rhoek boeih om. Te rhoek tah a thayung thamal a paek. Tedae amih te cunghang dongkah rhok taeng neh tangrhom la aka suntla pumdul rhoek taengah ni a yalh uh.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 Te ah te amih tlangpuei boeimang boeih neh Sidoni boeih khaw omuh. Te rhoek tah amamih kah rhihnah hmanah a rhok rhoek neh suntla uh. A thayung thamal dongah yak uh tih te cunghang dongkah rhok neh pumdul la yalh uh. Te dongah tangrhom kah aka suntla rhoek neh a mingthae a phueih uh.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 Amih te Pharaoh loh a hmuh vaengah a hlangping boeih ham khaw, cunghang dongkah a ngawn a hlangping ham khaw, Pharaoh neh a caem boeih ham khaw damti bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Mulhing khohmuen ah kai rhihnah te anih kah rhihnah la ka paek. Te dongah Pharaoh neh a hlangping boeih loh cunghang dongkah rhok neh pumdul lakli ah yalh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
