< Ezekiel 13 >
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa aw, Israel tonghma tonghma rhoek soah tonghma pah lamtah amamih lungbuei lamkah tonghma rhoek te, “BOEIPA ol hnatun,” ti nah.
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
3 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. Anunae tonghma ang rhoek aih te, amamih mueihla hnuk a vai uh soe tih a hmuh khaw om hae pawh.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 Israel nang kah tonghma rhoek te imrhong dongkah maetang rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 A puut te paan uh boeh. BOEIPA khohnin kah caemtloek dongah pai ham Israel im kah vongtung te biing laeh.
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
6 A poeyoek la aka hmu neh laithae bihma loh BOEIPA kah olphong la a thui. BOEIPA loh amih te tueih pawt dae ol thoh ham a ngaiuep uh.
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
7 Mikhlam te a poeyoek la na hmuh uh tih laithae tonghma te na thui uh pawt het nim? BOEIPA kah olphong aka ti rhoek bal khaw kai loh ka uen moenih.
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I have not spoken?
8 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. A poeyoek la na cal uh tih laithae ni na hmuh uh. Te dongah ni kai loh nangmih taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong kang khuen.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Ka kut loh a poeyoek la aka hmu tonghma rhoek te a om thil vetih ka pilnam kah baecenol khuiah laithae la aka hma rhoek khaw om uh mahpawh. Israel imkhui kah ca dongah khaw daek uh pawt vetih Israel khohmuen ah khaw kun uh mahpawh. Te vaengah kai ka Boeipa Yahovah tila nan ming uh bitni.
And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
10 Ka pilnam te a maelh uh dongah ngaimongnah a ti te khaw ngaimongnah hae moenih. Anih loh vong paam sak tih amih loh a kak la a bol uh coeng ke.
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:
11 A rhorhap neh aka bol rhoek te thui pah. Khonal a pai vaengah tim vetih a yo ni. Rhael lung loh nangmih soah cuhu vetih hlipuei khohli loh n'hep ni.
Say to them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
12 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Pangbueng cungku coeng ke, thungbok neh na bol te ta?' ti mahpawt nim?
Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?
13 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Ka kosi ah hlipuei khohli ka tueih vetih ka thintoek ah khonal kah a yo neh a bawtnah te kosi kah rhael lung ham om bini.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].
14 A rhorhap la abol pangbueng te ka koengloeng vetih diklai la ka nolh ni. Tedae a khoengim a poelyoe tih a cungku vaengah amah lakli ah n'khah uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
15 Ka kosi he pangbueng taeng neh a rhorhap aka bol taengah ka hong eh. Tedae nangmih te, “Pangbueng pawt tih aka bol bal moenih,” ka ti ni.
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;
16 Jerusalem taengah aka tonghma Israel tonghma rhoek neh ngaimongnah mangthui a hmuh dae ngaimongnah moenih. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
[To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
17 Hlang capa nang loh na pilnam nu te na maelhmai khueh thil. Amih amamih lungbuei lamloh aka tonghma khaw hlang rhoek khaw tonghma thil.
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
18 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. Anunae kai kut sukvai tom ah luhoe aka hui tih hinglu mae ham a songsang cungkuem neh a lu dongkah lumuekhni aka saii rhoek aih. Ka pilnam kah hinglu na mae cakhaw namah kah hinglu tah na hing venim?
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?
19 Cangtun kutpha yet ham te ka pilnam taengah kai nan poeih uh. A duek pawt koi khaw buh kamat ham hinglu na duek sakuh. Hinglu a hing ham vaengah laithae aka hnatun ka pilnam te nangmih kah laithae loh hing sak pawh.
And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?
20 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Nangmih kah luhoe te ka pai thil coeng ne. Te nen ni nangmih loh aka phuelh bangla hinglu te pahoi na mae uh. Tedae te te nangmih ban dong lamloh ka phen vetih hinglu te ka hlah ni. Te hinglu te nangmih loh aka phuelh bangla na mae uh.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
21 Na lumuekhni te ka phen vetih ka pilnam te na kut lamloh ka huul ni. Te daengah ni na kut dongkah rhalvong la koep om uh pawt vetih BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh eh.
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
22 Laithae loh aka dueng kah lungbuei a paeng sak. Kai loh anih thak ka khoeih sak pawt tih halang kut ka moem pah dongah nim amah a hing ham a boethae longpuei lamloh a mael pawh.
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
23 Te dongah a poeyoek la na hmu uh pawt vetih bihma khaw koep hma mahpawh. Ka pilnam te na kut lamloh ka huul vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni,” a ti.
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
