Ezekiel 12
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Boekoek imkhui lung ah kho aka sa hlang capa nang, amih te hmuh ham mik om dae a hmuh uh moenih, a yaak ham hna khaw a khueh uh dae amih te boekoek imkhui kah coeng dongah ya uh pawh.
Son of man, in the midst of a rebellious family art thou dwelling, who have eyes to see, and see not; who have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious family.
3 Te dongah hlang capa nang, vangsawn kah hnopai te namah ham rhoekbah lamtah khothaih kah amih mikhmuh ah poelyoe pah. Namah hmuen lamloh amih mikhmuh ah a tloe hmuen la poelyoe pah. Amih boekoek imkhui loh a hmuh uh khaming.
But thou, O son of man, prepare for thyself vessels for going into exile, and wander away by day before their eyes; and thou shalt wander away from thy place to another place before their eyes: perhaps they may become aware that they are a rebellious family.
4 Na hnopai te khothaih kah amih mikhmuh ah vangsawn kah hno bangla sat lamtah kholaeh ah khaw amih mikhmuh ah vangsawn kah a pongthoh bangla na thoeng pah mako.
Then shalt thou carry forth thy vessels, like vessels of exile, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at evening before their eyes, as they do that go forth into exile.
5 Amih mikhmuh ah namah ham pangbueng te thuk lamtah te long te khuen.
Before their eyes break a hole through the wall, and carry [them] through it.
6 Amih mikhmuh ah na laengpang soah kawt lamtah a hmuep due na maelhmai dah lamtah khuen. Te daengah ni Israel imkhui ham kopoekrhai la nang kang khueh te khohmuen loh a hmuh pawt eh?,” a ti.
Before their [eyes] shalt thou bear them upon thy shoulders, in the dark shalt thou carry them forth: thy face shalt thou cover, that thou mayest not see the ground; for as a token have I set thee unto the house of Israel.
7 Te dongah ng'uen bangla ka saii tangloeng tih kamah kah hnopai te khothaih ah vangsawn kah hnopai bangla ka khuen. Kholaeh ah pangbueng te kamah ham kut neh ka thuk. A hmuep vaengah laengpang soah ka tloeng tih amih mikhmuh la ka pawk puei.
And I did so as I had been commanded; my vessels I carried forth by day, like vessels of exile, and in the evening I broke a hole for myself through the wall with my hand: in the dark I brought them forth, and I bore them upon my shoulder before their eyes.
8 BOEIPA ol tah mincang ah kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came unto me in the morning, saying,
9 “Hlang capa, boekoek imkhui kah Israel imkhui loh na saii te nang taengah thui uh pawt nim?
Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the rebellious family, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he a taengah thui pah. He tah Jerusalem neh amih khui kah Israel imkhui boeih ham khoboei kah olrhuh ni.
Say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, For the prince in Jerusalem is the doom, and for all the house of Israel, [and those] that are in the midst of them.
11 ' Ka saii bangla nangmih kah miknoeknah tah kai ni. Amih te vangsawn la a khueh vetih na tamna la cet uh ni.
Say, I am your token; just as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: into exile, into captivity, shall they wander.
12 Amih lakli kah khoboei khaw a hmuep ah a laengpang neh a koh vetih coe uh ni. Pangbueng khui long coe ham te a thuk uh ni. A maelhmai te a thing vetih a mik dongah khohmuen khaw hmu mahpawh.
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; through the wall shall they break a hole to carry [things] through it: his face shall he cover up, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.
13 Te vaengah ka lawk te anih ham ka tung vetih ka rhalvong dongah man bitni. Anih te Khalden khohmuen Babylon la ka thak vaengah he he a hmuh kolla pahoi duek ni.
And I will spread out my net over him, and he shall be caught in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon into the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, and there shall he die.
14 A kaepvai boeih te khaw anih kah bomkung bomkung neh a caembong boeih khohli cungkuem taengla ka haeh vetih amih hnuk te cunghang neh ka khoh ni.
And all that are round about him, those who assist him, and all the wings of his armies will I disperse toward every wind; and the sword will I draw out after them.
15 BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni. Amih te namtom taengah ka taekyak ham neh amih te paeng taengah ka haeh coeng.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16 Tedae amih kah hlang te amah tarhing ah cunghang lamkah neh khokha lamkah khaw duektahaw lamkah ka hlun ni. Te daengah ni athoeng uh thil namtom taengah khaw amamih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem te a tae uh pahoi vetih BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh eh,” a ti.
But I will leave of them men few in number from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence: in order that they may relate all their abominations among the nations whither they shall have come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Hlang capa, na buh te hinghuennah neh ca lamtah na tui te khoponah neh, mawnnah neh o.
Son of man, thy bread shalt thou eat with quaking, and thy water shalt thou drink with trembling and with anxious care.
19 Te phoeiah khohmuen kah pilnam taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Israel khohmuen kah Jerusalem khosa rhoek a buh te mawnnah neh ca uh saeh lamtah a tui te a maehmanah neh o uh saeh. A khohmuen te a cungkuem ah a khui khosa boeih kuthlahnah dongah rhawp ni.
And thou shalt say unto the people of the land, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] concerning the land of Israel, Their bread shall they eat with anxious care, and their water shall they drink with confusion, for the cause that her land will be desolate, deprived of its plenteousness because of the violence of all those that dwell therein.
20 Khosa khopuei rhoek khaw khap uh vetih khohmuen he khopong la poeh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni,” a ti.
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid in ruins, and the land shall be made desolate: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
22 “Hlang capa, nang taengkah thuidoeknah te ta? Khohmuen kah Israel he thui pah ham khaw khohnin puh tih mangthui khaw boeih paltham coeng.
Son of man, what sort of proverb is that which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are lasting long, and lost is every vision?
23 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. He thuidoeknah he ka paa sak vetih he he Israel khuiah khaw koep thoel uh mahpawh. Te dongah amih taengah khohnin neh mangthui cungkuem kah ol ha thoeng te thui pah dae.
Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will cause this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but speak unto them, The days are coming nigh, and the word of every vision.
24 A poeyoek kah mangthui boeih neh olhnal tonghma khaw Israel im khui ah koep om mahpawh.
For there shall be no more any false vision and a deceptive divination within the house of Israel.
25 Tedae BOEIPA loh ka thui te ka thui ol bangla thoeng ni. Nangmih kah khohnin ah uelh voel mahpawh. Boekoek imkhui te ol ka thui pah vetih amah la ka thoeng sak ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
For I am the Lord, —I do speak, and whatever word I do speak shall be done; it shall not be delayed any more; for in your days, O rebellious family, will I speak the word, and I will execute it, saith the Lord Eternal.
26 BOEIPA kah ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27 Hlang capa aw, Israel imkhui, “Anih kah mangthui a hmuh te khohnin la puh tih a tue khohla ham ni a tonghma,’ a ti uh te.
Son of man, behold, the house of Israel say, The vision that he foreseeth is for distant days, and for times that are far off doth he prophesy.
28 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Ka ol ka thui boeih te ka ol bangla uelh voel mahpawh. Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong he thoeng ni,” a ti.
Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, There shall not be delayed any more one of all my words; but whatever word I do speak shall be done, saith the Lord Eternal.
