Ezekiel 9
1 Ka hna ah ol ue la kut dongah ng'khue tih, “Khopuei aka cawhkung rhoek te hang khuen lamtah hlang loh amah pocinah hnopai te pom saeh,” ti nah.
And he called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 Tlangpuei la aka mael a so vongka longpuei lamloh hlang parhuk ha pawk coeng ke. A kut dongah amah kah ngawnnah hnopai aka pom hlang rhoek ni. Amih khui kah hlang pakhat tah takhlawk pueinak neh a kaep ah cadaek catui a hol. Ha pawk uh vaengah tah rhohum hmueihtuk taengah pai uh.
And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper altar.
3 Te phoeiah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah tah cherubim so lamloh luei tih te kah a soah im thohkong ni a. om coeng. Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak a kaep ah cadaek catui aka tawn hlang te a khue.
And the glory of the God of Israel ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials by his side.
4 BOEIPA loh anih te, “Khopuei khui longah Jerusalem khui la paan lamtah a khui ah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii soah aka huei tih aka kii hlang rhoek kah a tal ah kutha khoeih pah,” a ti.
And the Lord said unto him, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.
5 Te kamah hna ah, “Anih te khopuei longah paan lamtah ngawn laeh. Na mik loh rhen boel saeh lamtah na mik loh lungma ti boel saeh.
And to the others he said before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;
6 Patong neh tongpang oila khaw, camoe neh manu khaw, kutcaihnah la ngawn laeh. Tedae a pum dongah kutha aka om hlang boeih te tah mop thil boeh, ka rhokso lamloh tong laeh,” a ti. Te dongah im hmai kah hlang rhoek neh patong taeng lamloh a tong uh.
The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who were before the house.
7 Te phoeiah amih te, “Im aka poeih neh vongup ah rhok aka bae rhoek te paan uh,” a ti. Te dongah a paan uh tih khopuei lamloh a ngawn uh.
And he said unto them, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote in the city.
8 Amih a ngawn vaengah kai n'hlun. Te vaengah ka maelhmai dongah ka cungku. Ka pang tih, “Aw ka Boeipa Yahovah, Jerusalem ah na kosi na hawk vaengah Israel kah a meet boeih te na thup a,” ka ti.
And it came to pass, while they were smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over Jerusalem?
9 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Israel neh Judah imkhui kathaesainah te bahoeng bahoeng len. Khohmuen ah thii baetawt tih khopuei ah a hoemlae khawk. BOEIPA loh khohmuen a hnoo tih BOEIPA loh hmu pawh,’ a ti uh.
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Tedae kai khaw ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti mahpawh. Amih kah khosing te amamih lu soah ka sah ni,” a ti.
And as for me also, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own head.
11 Te phoeiah coengah takhlawk pueinak neh a cinghen ah catui aka tawn hlang loh ol a hlat tih, “Kai nang uen bangla boeih ka saii coeng,” a ti.
And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
