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 upon thy feet, that I may, 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.

Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spake unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, —and I heard one speaking 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 am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, —they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, 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 it is unto such sons—of shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, —therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.

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 a perverse house, they are, shall then know that, a prophet, hath been in their midst.

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.

But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!

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

Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!

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.

Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, —open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.

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

So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, —and lo! therein a scroll;

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 on the front and the back, —and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.
