< Ezekiel 16 >
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Hlang capa amah kah tueilaehkoi te Jerusalem ming sak.
'Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem te, 'Namah tuikong neh na pacaboeina tah Kanaan kho kah tih, na pa te Amori, na nu khaw Khitti nu ni.
and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem: Thine origin and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite.
4 Na pacaboeina loh na om khohnin ah na yenrhui at pawt tih tui neh pakpak n'silh moenih, n'yut khaw n'yuut pawt tih n'yol khaw n'yol moenih.
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou was not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 He khuiah pakhat khaw nang taengah saii ham vaengah a mik loh nang te n'rhen moenih. Nang soah thinphatnah ham lakah na om nah khohnin ah na hinglu tueilaehkap ham ni lohma li ah m'voeih.
No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field in the loathsomeness of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 Na kaepah ka pah vaengah nang te namah thii neh na nok uh te ka hmuh. Te vaengah nang taengah, “Na thii dongah hing ne,” ka ti nah tih, “Nang te namah thii neh hing,” ka ti nah.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee wallowing in thy blood, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live;
7 Lohma thingdawn a pul bangla nang kang khueh. Te dongah na ping tih na pantai vaengah cangen lakah cangen la na poeh. Na rhangsuk khaw hmabuet tih na sam khaw sai. Tedae nang te pumtling neh yangyal la na om.
I cause thee to increase, even as the growth of the field. And thou didst increase and grow up, and thou camest to excellent beauty: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.
8 Na taengah ka pah vaengah namah neh na tue hlo ngaih tue la kak kam hmuh. Te dongah ka hnihmoi te nang kang khuk thil tih na yah kan dah. Nang taengah ka toemngam tih nang te paipi khuila kan thoeng puei dongah ni kamah taengah na om. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love, I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine.
9 Namah tui neh kan hluk tih na pum dongkah na thii te kan silh. Te phoeiah nang te situi neh kan yuh.
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I cleansed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Nang te rhaekva kam bai sak tih saham pho ni nang kang khom sak. Hnitang neh nang kan yen tih puhimbai neh nang kan khuk.
I clothed thee also with richly woven work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I wound fine linen about thy head, and covered thee with silk.
11 Nang te cangen kang oi sak tih na kut dongkah khungpak neh na rhawn kah oi khaw kam paek.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 Na hnarhong dongkah hnaii neh na hna dongkah hnathawn khaw na lu dongkah boeimang rhuisam khaw kam paek.
And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 Sui neh ngun na oi tih na hnicu khaw hnitang khuikah hnitang tah, puhimbai neh rhaekva ni. Vaidam neh khoitui neh situi te na caak na caak tih bahoeng, bahoeng na sawtthen dongah mangpa taengah na thaihtak.
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and richly woven work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou didst wax exceeding beautiful, and thou wast meet for royal estate.
14 Ka rhuepomnah he nang taengah a rhuemtuet la kam paek lamloh na sakthen neh na ming tah namtom taengah tueng coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through My splendour which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
15 Tedae na sakthen dongah na pangtung tih na ming dongah na cukhalh. Aka cet boeih soah na cukhalhnah na hawk tih anih ham khoeng a om pah.
But thou didst trust in thy beauty and play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy harlotries on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Na himbai te na loh tih hmuensang te namah ham savawk la na saii. Amih sokah na cukhalh te phoe noek pawt tih om noek bal mahpawh.
And thou didst take of thy garments, and didst make for thee high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot upon them; the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Namah taengah kam paek ka sui neh ka ngun te namah kah boeimang hnopai bangla na loh. Te phoeiah tongpa muei te namah ham na saii tih amih taengah na cukhalh.
Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of My gold and of My silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;
18 Himbai khaw namah kah rhaekva te na loh tih amih na khuk. Ka situi neh ka bo-ul te amih mikhmuh ah a tawn khaw na tawn mai.
and thou didst take thy richly woven garments and cover them, and didst set Mine oil and Mine incense before them.
19 Ka buh khaw namah ham kam paek tih vaidam neh situi neh khoitui te nang kan cah. Tedae amih mikhmuh ah na tawn pah tih hmuehmuei botui bangla om sumsoek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour, and thus it was; saith the Lord GOD.
20 Kai ham nan sak na canu na capa te na khuen tih caak la amih taengah na ngawn. Na cukhalhnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te yol a?
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto Me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy harlotries a small matter,
21 Ka ca rhoek te na ngawn tih amih taengah duek paan la amih te na paek.
that thou hast slain My children, and delivered them up, in setting them apart unto them?
22 Namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem neh na cukhalhnah dongah na camoe tue vaengah pumtling neh yangyal la na om tih na thii dongah aka nok uh na om te na poek khaw na poek pawh.
And in all thine abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast wallowing in thy blood.
23 Na boethae cungkuem hnukah ana om ngawn, anunae anunae nang aih te. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness — woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD —
24 Namah ham sawn na daep tih toltung takuem ah thaehhing na dawn.
that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.
25 Longpuei longlu takuem ah na thaehhing na dawn, na sakthen na tuei tih aka cet boeih taengah na kho na kaa. Te vaengah na cukhlahnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te na kum.
Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy harlotries.
26 Na imben Egypt ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh neh pumsa ah na boeilen. Kai veet ham ni na cukhalhnah te na ping sak.
Thou hast also played the harlot with the Egyptians, thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy harlotry, to provoke Me.
27 Te dongah nang taengla ka kut ka thueng coeng he. Na khoboe khonuen rhamtat dongah ni na khotlueh te kam bim tih na hmaithae neh na lunguet hinglu, Philisti nu taengla nang kam voeih.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out My hand over thee, and have diminished thine allowance, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Na cungnah a om pawt dongah Assyria ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh bal. Tedae amih taengah na cukhalh pataeng na hah bal moenih.
Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, without having enough; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.
29 Kanaan khohmuen kah Khalden taeng duela na cukhalhnah te na ping sak dae te nen pataeng na hah moenih.
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy harlotry with the land of traffic, even with Chaldea; and yet thou didst not have enough herewith.
30 Na ko tah tahah tangkik coeng. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Rhaidaeng la pumyoi nu kah khoboe he boeih na saii.
How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of a wanton harlot;
31 Longpuei tom kah longlu ah na sawn na daep. Na thaehhing te toltung takuem ah na dawn na dawn tih a paang aka soehsal ham pumyoi bangla na om rhoe na om moenih a?
in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot that enhanceth her hire.
32 Yuu loh samphaih tih a va yueng kholong te a doe.
Thou wife that committest adultery, that takest strangers instead of thy husband —
33 Pumyoi takuem taengah kutdoe a paek uh vaengah nang tah na kutdoe te nang aka ngaih sarhui taengah na paek. Na cukhalhnah dongah na kaepvai lamkah te namah taengla pawk ham kapbaih na paek.
to all harlots gifts are given; but thou hast given thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hast bribed them to come unto thee from every side in thy harlotries.
34 Te dongah nang kah cukhalhnah dongah namah taengah huta lamloh khuplat la om coeng. Nang hnukah aka cukhalh om pawh. Nang loh a paang na paek tih namah te a paang m'paek pawt dongah khuplat la na om coeng.
And the contrary is in thee from other women, in that thou didst solicit to harlotry, and wast not solicited; and in that thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, thus thou art contrary.
35 Te dongah pumyoi aw BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD!
36 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na rhohum khaw na lun tih na ngaih taengah na cukhalhnah neh na yah na phen. Nang kah tueilaehkoi mueirhol cungkuem neh na ca thii te amih taengah na paek.
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy harlotries with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, that thou didst give unto them;
37 Te dongah na hlang ngaih boeih te ka coi coeng ne. Amih taengah na lungtui tih na lungnah boeih te khaw, na lunguet boeih te khaw a kaepvai lamloh amih te nang taengah kang kuk. Amih taengah na yah kam poelyoe vetih na yah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, unto whom thou hast been pleasant, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee from every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 Samphaih kah laitloeknah neh thii aka long sak nang te lai kan tloek ni. Te vaengah kosi neh thatlainah thii te nang soah kang khuen ni.
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
39 Nang te amih kut ah kan paek vaengah tah na sawn han koengloeng vetih na thaehhing ham voeih ni. Nang te na himbai ham pit tih na boeimang hnopai han loh vaengah nang te pumtling neh yangyal la ng'khueh uh ni.
I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
40 Nang te hlangping neh m'paan thil vetih nang te lungto neh n'dae phoeiah a cunghang neh nang te m'poel uh ni.
They shall also bring up an assembly against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 Na im te hmai neh a hoeh uh vetih nang sokah tholhphu te huta a yet kah mikhmuh ah n'saii uh ni. Te vaengah ni pumyoi lamloh nang kam paa sak vetih a paang khaw koep na paek pawt eh.
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.
42 Nang soah ka kosi ka hong daengah ni nang taengkah ka thatlainah a nong eh. Te vaengah ka mong vetih hue ka sa voel mahpawh.
So will I satisfy My fury upon thee, and My jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Na camoe tue te na poek la na poek pawt tih he boeih neh kai taengah na tlai. Te dongah kai khaw na khosing te na lu soah kam paek ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi boeih te khonuen rhamtat la saii rhoe saii boeh.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted Me in all these things; lo, therefore I also will bring thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord GOD; or hast thou not committed this lewdness above all thine abominations?
44 Nang kawng neh aka thuidoek boeih long ke a canu aka voek manu bangla a thuidoek ni.
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying: As the mother, so her daughter.
45 Nang tah a va neh a ca rhoek aka tuei na manu canu ni. Nang tah a hlang neh a ca aka tuei na ngannu kah tanu ni. Na nu tah Khitti tih na pa te Amori ni.
Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children; your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Na tanu suiham Samaria khaw a canu neh nang kah banvoei ah om lah ko. Na tanu namah lakah a noe tah na bantang kah Sodom ah a canu neh om lah ko.
And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Amih kah longpuei ah na pongpa bueng pawt tih amih taengkah tueilaehkoi te mikpalap ah valh na saii khaw na saii. Tedae na longpuei boeih dongah khaw amih lakah na poeih uh coeng.
Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but in a very little while thou didst deal more corruptly than they in all thy ways.
48 Kai tah hingnah tite, ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Namah neh na canu kah na saii bang te na tanu Sodom neh a canu loh a saii noek moenih.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 Na tanu Sodom kathaesainah la he ni aka om he. Buh coihdanah dongkah hoemdamnah he amah neh a canu taengah a mong la ommongnah a om pah. Tedae mangdaeng neh khodaeng kut tah a moem moenih.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Sang uh cakhaw ka mikhmuh ah tueilaehkoi ni a saii uh. Te dongah na hmuh bangla amih te ka saii.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.
51 Samaria he nang kah tholhnah a loengboeng pataeng a tholh moenih. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi he amih lakah yet. Tedae namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem na saii na saii tih na tanu kah na tanu taengah khaw na tang van.
Neither hath Samaria committed even half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 Namah khaw na mingthae te phuei nawn. Na tanu ham na thangthui cakhaw na tholhnah neh amih lakah n'tuei coeng tih nang lakah tang uh. Te dongah namah khaw na tanu na tang sak dongah yak lamtah na mingthae phuei nawn.
Thou also, bear thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou; yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 Tedae amih khuikah thongtla, Sodom thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, Samaria kah thongtla thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, amih lakli kah nangmih thongtla, thongtla te khaw koep ka mael puei.
And I will turn their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them;
54 Te dongah amih na hloep vaengkah na saii boeih te na mingthae phuei lamtah na hmaithae saeh.
that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
55 Na tanu Sodom khaw a canu neh amah hmuen la mael uh vetih Samaria neh a tanu rhoek khaw a muel la mael uh ni. Te vaengah nang neh na tanu rhoek khaw namah hmuen la na mael ni.
And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Na hoemdamnah khohnin vaengkah na ka lamkah olthang bangla na tanu Sodom khaw om mahpawt nim?
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride;
57 Na boethae a hliphen tom vaengah Aram nu neh a kaepvai boeih kah Philisti nu rhoek kokhahnah tue vaengkah bangla a kaepvai ah nang n'hnaep uh.
before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the taunt of the daughters of Aram, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, that have thee in disdain round about.
58 Nang kah khonuen rhamtat neh namah kah tueilaehkoi te namah loh phuei. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
59 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Paipi phae ham olcaeng na sawtsit dongah na saii bangla nang te kan saii rhoe kan saii ni.
For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Tedae na camoe tue vaengkah nang taengkah ka paipi te ka poek vetih nang ham kumhal kah paipi ka thoh ni.
Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Te vaengah na longpuei te na poek vetih na hmaithae bitni. Na tanu namah lakah aka ham te na doe vaengah nang lakah tanoe ni tanu la nang taengah kam paek sitoe cakhaw na paipi dongkah mahpawh.
Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not because of thy covenant.
62 Ka paipi te nang taengah ka thoh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming bitni.
And I will establish My covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD;
63 Te daengah ni na poek vaengah na yak vetih na ka a ah la koep aom pawt eh. Na mingthae hman ah khaw na saii boeih dongah nang ham kan dawth coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.'
