Ezekiel 8

1 Kum rhuk kum hla rhuk dongkah hnin nga a lo vaengah kamah im ah ka ngol tih kamah mikhmuh ah Judah kah patong rhoek khaw ngol uh. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah kut he kai sola pahoi ha tla.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there on me.

2 Ka sawt vaengah hmai kah a mueimae bangla phek om he. A mueimae te a cinghen lamloh a dang due hmai bangla om. A cinghen lamloh a so duela rhohumbok kah a pang neh khophaa kah mueimae bangla om.

Then I beheld, and see a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.

3 Kut kah muei bang te a thueng tih ka lu samtoel ah kai n'doek. Te vaengah mueihla loh kai he diklai laklo neh vaan laklo la m'pom. Te phoeiah kai te Pathen kah mangthui khuiah tlangpuei la aka mael Jerusalem khui kah vongka thohka la ng'khuen. Te te thatlainah mueimae neh aka thatlai kah tolrhum ni.

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

4 Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah he kolbawn ah a mueimae la pahoi ka hmuh coeng he.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, tlangpuei longpuei la na mik huel laeh,” a ti. Ka mik he tlangpuei longpuei la ka huel tangloeng hatah thatlainah mueimae kah hmueihtuk vongka te tlangpuei ah kak ka hmuh. Te te thohkaeng ah ni a om.

Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, amih te na hmuh nama? Amih loh tueilaehkoi a saii uh khungdaeng coeng te. Ka rhokso lamloh lakhla ham he Israel imkhui long ni a saii. Tedae koep na mael vetih tueilaehkoi khaw muep na hmuh bitni,” a ti.

He said furthermore to me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations.

7 Te phoeiah kai te vongup thohka la ng'khuen hatah pangbueng dongah a khui pakhat te lawt ka hmuh.

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

8 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, pangbueng te thuk laeh,” a ti. Te dongah pangbueng te ka thuk hatah thohka pakhat lawt ka hmuh.

Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dig in the wall, behold a door.

9 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Paan lamtah boethae rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te so lah, te te amih long ni he ah he a saii uh,” a ti.

And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

10 Ka kun vaengah rhulcai muei cungkuem neh konawhnah rhamsa kah mueirhol boeih khaw kak ka hmuh. Te te Israel im ah pangbueng kah a kaep a kaep ah a vuel.

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed on the wall round about.

11 Amih lakli ah Israel imkhui kah patong hlang sawmrhih neh Shaphan capa Jaazaniah khaw pai. Amih hmai ah aka pai hlang loh a kut dongah hmaibael te a pom. Te vaengah bo-ul kah a hu a thah la khu.

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the middle of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

12 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, Israel im kah patong rhoek loh a ngaihlih imkhui kah hlang neh hmaisuep ah a saii te na hmuh nama? 'BOEIPA loh mamih m'hmuh pawt tih khohmuen he BOEIPA loh a hnoo coeng,” a ti uh,” a ti.

Then said he to me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the earth.

13 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Koep na mael vaengah amih loh tueilaehkoi a tanglue a saii uh te na hmuh bitni,” a ti.

He said also to me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.

14 Te dongah kai te tlangpuei kah BOEIPA im vongka kah thohka la m'pawk puei. Te vaengah manu tarha ana ngol pahoi tih Tammuz te a rhah uh.

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama? Koep na mael vaengah he lakah a nah la tueilaehkoi na hmuh ni,” a ti.

Then said he to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.

16 Te phoeiah kai te BOEIPA im vongup khui la m'pawk puei. Te vaengah BOEIPA bawkim thohka kah ngalha laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah hlang pakul panga tluk ana om. BOEIPA bawkim te a hnuk la a rhoe uh tih a maelhmai khothoeng la a khuehuh. Amih loh khothoeng kah khomik te a bawk uh.

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

17 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama? Judah imkhui loh tueilaehkoi a saii te phoeng a? Khohmuen te kuthlahnah neh cung sak kuekluek ham ni a saii uh he. Kai veet ham ni mael uh tih amih loh a hnarhong te thingluei a hu thil lah ko te.

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, see, they put the branch to their nose.

18 Te dongah kai loh kosi neh ka saii ni. Ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti mahpawh. Ka hna ah ol ue la ng'khue uh cakhaw amih ol ka hnatun mahpawh,” a ti.

Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
