< Ezekiel 6 >

1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Hlang capa aw, Israel tlang taengla na maelhmai khueh lamtah amih te tonghma thil laeh.
Son of man, set thy face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
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.
And thou shalt say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal! Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, Behold, I, even I, will bring over you the sword, and I will destroy 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 shall be made desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cause your slain ones to fall before your idols.
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 lay the carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round 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 dwelling-places the cities shall be laid in ruins, and the high-places shall be made desolate; in order that your altars may be laid in ruins and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and annihilated, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.
7 Na khui ah rhok a yalh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and ye shall know 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.
Yet will I leave [some]; that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered in the [various] 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 that escape shall remember me among the nations among whom they shall have been carried captive, when I shall have broken their licentious heart, which had departed from me, even with their eyes, which were gone astray after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves on account of the evil deeds which they have committed with all their abominations.
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 shall know that I am the Lord: not for naught have I spoken that I would do unto them this evil.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Strike thy hands together, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the dreadful abominations of the house of Israel! who will have to fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
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 that is afar off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I let out all my fury on 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 ye shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain ones shall lie in the midst of their idols round about their altars, on every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick-branched oak, —places where they presented sweet savor to all their idols.
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 I will stretch out my hand over them, and I will render the land desolate and waste, more than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
