< Ezekiel 6 >

1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Hlang capa aw, Israel tlang taengla na maelhmai khueh lamtah amih te tonghma thil laeh.
Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
3 Te vaengah, 'Israel tlang rhoek aw ka Boeipa Yahovah ol he hnatun uh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh tlang taeng neh mol taengah, kolrhawk sokca taeng neh kolrhawk taengah khaw he ni a thui. Kai kamah loh nangmih soah cunghang kang khuen vetih na hmuensang ka phae ni.
You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
4 Na hmueihtuk te pong vetih na bunglawn khaw tlawt ni. Na mueirhol hmai ah na rhok ka cungku sak ni.
And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
5 A mueirhol hmai ah Israel ca rhoek kah rhok te ka khueh vetih na hmueihtuk kaepvai ah na rhuh ka haeh ni.
And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
6 Na tolrhum tom kah khopuei rhoek te khaw a khah uh vetih hmuensang khaw rhawp ni. Te dongah na hmueihtuk rhoek te boe uh vetih paeng ni. Na mueirhol rhoek te kangkuen uh vetih na bunglawn a tlawt vaengah na bibi khaw hmata ni.
In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
7 Na khui ah rhok a yalh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
8 Tedae nangmih te diklai ah kan thaek cakhaw namtom taengah cunghang lamloh hlangyong rhoek la na om ham kan hlun ni.
But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
9 Te vaengah nangmih kah hlangyong rhoek loh namtom taengah kai m'poek uh ni. Te ah te a sol uh tih a lungbuei khaw mat ka paeng sak coeng. Tedae kai taeng lamloh a nong te cukhalh uh tih a mik khaw a mueirhol hnukah cukhalh uh. A maelhmai ah ko-oek lalh la a tueilaehkoi boeih dongah boethae te a saii uh dongah ni.
And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
10 Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh he boethae he amih soah saii ham a poeyoek la ka thui pawt te a ming uh bitni.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
11 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na kut te ngawn lamtah na kho te daep laeh. Anunae Israel imkhui kah boethae tueilaehkoi cungkuem dongah ni cunghang dongah, khokha dongah, duektahaw dongah a cungku uh eh,’ ti saeh.
This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
12 Khohla te duektahaw ah duek vetih a yoei te cunghang dongah cungku ni. Khokha kah aka sueng tih a kueinah khaw duek ni. Te tlam ni amih soah ka kosi ka sah eh.
He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
13 Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh bitni. Amih rhok te a mueirhol lakli ah, som tom kah a hmueihtuk kaepvai ah om kangna saeh. Tlang lu tom ah pomsang uh tih thing hing hmui tom neh rhokael bu hmui kah hmuen tom ah a mueirhol cungkuem ham hmuehmuei botui hnap a nawn uh.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
14 Ka kut he amih ka thueng thil vetih khohmuen he Diblath khosoek lamloh a tolrhum boeih ah khopong neh a rhaerhap la ka khueh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh bitni,” a ti.
And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
