Ezekiel 2

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

It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I 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 there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is 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 saith unto Me, 'Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same 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 sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:

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 hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they [are] — have known 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.

'And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they [are] a rebellious house,

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

And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they 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.

'And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious 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.

And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,

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 spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
