Ezekiel 2

1 Kamah taengah, “Hlang capa aw na kho dongah pai lamtah nang taengah kan thui eh?,” a ti.

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2 Kai taeng a thui bangla ka khuiah Mueihla ha kun. Te vaengah ka kho dongah ka pai tih kamah taengah a thui te ka yaak.

And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto me.

3 Te vaengah kai te, “Hlang capa nang te Israel ca rhoek taeng neh namtom taengah kan tueih. Amih neh kai te a tloelh a tloelh uh. A napa rhoek long khaw kai taengah tahae khohnin due a rhuh la boe a koek uh.

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.

4 Ca rhoek khaw a maelhmai mangkhak neh a lungbuei khaw tlungluen uh. Kai loh nang te amih taengah kan tueih. Te dongah amih te, 'Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui,’ ti nah.

And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.

5 Amih loh a hnatun akhaw a toeng akhaw amih boekoek imkhui ham tonghma tah amamih lakli ah a om te ming saeh.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, [for they are a rebellious family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been among them.

6 Tedae nang hlang capa loh amih te rhih boel lamtah amih ol te rhih boeh. Nang te hlingpuem tangti neh saelkhui ta-ai lakli ah na hing cakhaw amih ol te rhih boeh. Amih mikhmuh ah rhihyawp boeh amih te boekoek imkhui ni.

And thou, son of man, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.

7 Tedae amih boekoek dongah a hnatun uh akhaw a toeng uh akhaw ka ol he amih taengah thui kuekluek.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.

8 Nang hlang capa namah taengah kan thui he hnatun. Boekoek imkhui bangla boekoek la om boeh. Na ka ang lamtah namah taengah kam paek te ca,” a ti.

But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.

9 Ka sawt vaengah kai taengla cabu cayol neh a kut tarha han thueng.

And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-book was therein;

10 Ka mikhmuh ah te te a phaih vaengah a hnuk a hmai ah ca a daek. A khuiah rhahlung neh caitawknah neh yoethaenah a daek.

And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.
