Ezekiel 4

1 Nang hlang capa namah loh laiboeng lo lamtah namah mikhmuh ah tloeng laeh. A soah Jerusalem khopuei te tarhit laeh.

And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.

2 A taengah vong khueh pah lamtah a taengah buep khueh pah. A taengah tanglung khueng lamtah a taengah rhaehhmuen khueh. A kaepvai te maehdoelh khueh pah.

And you shall besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.

3 Te phoeiah namah loh thi thiphael te namah ham lo lamtah namah laklo neh khopuei laklo ah thi pangbueng la khueh. Te vaengah na maelhmai te a taengla hoi pah. Vongup ah a om bangla la khopuei te na dum bitni. He miknoek he Israel imkhui ham ni.

And take you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.

4 Te phoeiah nang te banvoei kah na vae neh yalh lamtah Israel imkhui kah thaesainah te a soah tloeng pah. A soah na yalh khohnin tarhing ah amih kah thaesainah te na phueih ni.

And you shall lie upon your left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.

5 Amih kah thaesainah kum tarhing bangla nang te kan tueih tih khohnin ya thum neh hnin sawmko ah Israel imkhui kah thaesainah te na phueih van ni.

For I have appointed you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.

6 Te rhoek te na coeng van neh na vae bantang dongah yalh lamtah Judah imkhui kah thaesainah te khohnin la hnin sawmli phueih pah. A kum la kum ham te hnin at ni nang kan tueih.

And you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.

7 Te phoeiah Jerusalem vong la na maelhmai hooi lamtah na ban te khawn lamtah, a taengah tonghma pah.

So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.

8 Te vaengah nang dongah rhuivaeh kang khih ni ne. Te dongah na vongup kah khohnin na poeng hil na vae khat ben lamloh na vae khat ben duela na hoi uh thai mahpawh.

And, behold, I have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.

9 Te phoeiah namah loh namah ham cang neh cangtun, maidawn neh rhacik, malket neh cangkuem khaw lo ne. Te te amrhaeng pakhat dongah pae uh lamtah na vae neh na yalh khohnin tarhing ah na buh la te te khueh. Khohnin ya thum sawmko khuiah te te ca.

Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.

10 Na caak te khaw a khiing la shekel pakul mah ca. A khohnin ham te a tue, a tue vaengah ca.

And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.

11 Tui khaw khoe dongah bunang parhuk o lamtah a tue a tue vaengah o.

And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.

12 Cangtun buh te na caak vaengah hlang kah natcaeh aek neh amih mikhmuh ah hai.

And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.

13 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Israel ca he tlam ni a buh rhalawt te a caak uh eh. Amih te namtom taengah pahoi ka heh ni,” a ti.

And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.

14 Tedae, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, ka hinglu he maehrhok saha neh a poeih vai moenih ne. Ka camoe lamloh tahae hil ka ca vai pawt tih maeh khaw ka ka ah dikyik dikyak ka a kun moenih,” ka ti nah.

Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

15 Te vaengah kai te, “Ana so, hlang aek yueng la vaito aek ni nang taengah aek la kam paek vetih na buh te a soah tawn,” a ti.

And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it.

16 Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw, Jerusalem kah thahuelnah buh te ka bawt pah coeng. Te dongah buh te amah tarhing ah mawnnah neh a caak uh vetih tui te khoe dongah a maehmanah neh a ok uh ni.

And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:

17 Buh neh tui a vaitah vetih hlang neh a manuca pong ni. Te vaengah amamih kah thaesainah dongah muei uh ni.

that they may lack bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
