Ezekiel 22
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “Nang hlang capa aw, lai na tloek aya? Thii aka long khopuei te lai na tloek aya? Anih te a tueilaehkoi boeih ming sak.
And thou, son of man, will thou judge, will thou judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. Khopuei loh amah tue pai sak ham a laklung ah thii a long sak tih amah aka poeih ham mueirhol a saii.
And thou shall say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and who makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 Na thii na hawk te na boe tih na mueirhol na saii long te m'poeih. Na khohnin ha tawn uh tih na kum te ha pawk coeng. Te dongah nang te namtom kah kokhahnah neh diklai pum kah soehsalkoi la kang khueh coeng.
Thou have become guilty in thy blood that thou have shed, and are defiled in thine idols which thou have made. And thou have caused thy days to draw near, and have come even to thy years. Therefore I have made thee a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 Nang lamkah a yoei neh a hla loh nang te n'soehsal uh vetih, rhalawt ming dongah soekloeknah bae ni.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one, full of tumult.
6 Israel khoboei rhoek aih ke, a bantha neh na khuiah thii hawk ham hlang om coeng.
Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
7 Manu napa te a vapsa tak uh tih na khuikah yinlai te hnaemtaeknah neh a saii uh. Na khui kah cadah neh nuhmai te namah khui ah na vuelvaek uh.
In thee they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of thee they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression. In thee they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 Kai kah a cim te na hnaep uh tih ka Sabbath te na poeih uh.
Thou have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
9 Thii hawk sak ham te na khuiah caemtuh hlang rhoek om uh. Na khuikah loh tlang ah a caak tih na khui ah khonuen rhamtat a saii uh.
Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood, and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
10 Pa kah a yah te na khuiah a poelyoe tih pumom kah a rhalawt neh na khuiah phaep uh.
In thee they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness. In thee they have humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 Hlang he a hui yuu taengah tueilaehkoi a saii tih hlang he amah langa khaw khonuen rhamtat la a poeih. Hlang he a napa canu, amah ngannu khaw na khuiah a phaep.
And one has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law, and another in thee has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 A casai thii long sak ham na khuiah kapbaih a loh uh. A puehkan la na loh tih hnaemtaeknah neh na hui te na mueluem dongah kai he nan hnilh. He tah Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the lord Jehovah.
13 Te dongah na mueluemnah la na saii tih na khui ah na thii a om te ka kut ka paeng pawn ni he.
Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou have made, and at thy blood which has been in the midst of thee.
14 Na lungbuei om cakhaw na kut a moem uh venim? Te khohnin ah kai loh nang te kan saii ni. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui he ka saii ni.
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Nang te namtom taengah kan taek kan yak vetih diklai ah nang kan haeh ni. Te vaengah nang kah a tihnai te nang lamloh ka boeih sak ni.
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
16 Nang te namtom mikhmuh ah m'poeih uh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming bitni,” a ti.
And thou shall be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
17 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla koep ha pawk ol tih,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18 “Hlang capa aw, Israel imkhui he a pum la kai taengah aek khuikah aek la poeh uh coeng. Rhohum neh samphae khaw, thicung neh kawnlawk khaw hmai-ulh khui ah cak aek la poeh coeng.
Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te aek la boeih poeh sak ham ni kai loh nangmih te Jerusalem khui la kan coi tangloeng ne.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because ye have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem
20 Cak neh rhohum, thi neh kawnlawk neh samphae te hmai-ulh khui la hmuh tih hmai dongah tlae hamla coinah om. Ka thintoek ah kan coi tih ka kosi neh kan tloeng vaengah na tlae uh bitni.
as they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it. So I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21 Nangmih te kan calui tih ka thinpom hmai neh nang kang ueng thil vaengah a khui ah na tlae bitni.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
22 Hmai-ulh khui kah cak tlae bangla a khui ah na tlae van ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh nangmih soah ka kosi ka hawk te na ming ni,” a ti.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so ye shall be melted in the midst of it. And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 BOEIPA ol kai taengah ha pawk tih,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
24 “Hlang capa aw, a taengah thui pah. Khohmuen nang te n'caihcil pawt pai tih kosi khohnin ah khotlan tal.
Son of man, say to her, Thou are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 A khui ah a tonghma rhoek kah lairhui khaw maeh aka baeh sathueng kah a kawk bangla om. Hinglu neh khohrhang a yoop tih nuhmai kah umponah aka rheth khaw a khui ah a ping sakuh.
There is a conspiracy by her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
26 A khosoih rhoek loh ka olkhueng a poe tih ka hmuencim a poeih uh. Cimcaihnah neh rhongingnah te paekboe uh pawh. Rhalawt khaw, a cuemcaih khaw ming sak uh pawh. Ka Sabbath te a mik a him thil uh tih amih khui ah kai m'poeih.
Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 A khui kah a mangpa rhoek khaw maeh aka nget uithang bangla thii aka hawk ham neh hinglu aka ngawn ham mueluemnah dongah mueluem uh.
Her rulers in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 A tonghma rhoek loh amamih ham a rhorhap te a bol uh. Amamih ham a poeyoek la a hmuh uh. Hlang aka bi loh BOEIPA loh a thui pawt khaw ka Boeipa Yahovah kah a thui he laithae ni a ti uh.
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the lord Jehovah, when Jehovah has not spoken.
29 Khohmuen kah pilnam te hnaemtaeknah neh a hnaemtaek uh tih huencannah neh a reth uh. Mangdaeng neh khodaeng a vuelvaek uh tih yinlai a hnaemtaek uh dongah tiktamnah om pawh.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery. Yea, they have vexed the poor and needy man, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.
30 Vongtung biing tih khohmuen phae pawt ham a yueng la ka mikhmuh kah a puut ah aka pai hlang khaw amih lakli ah ka tlap dae ka hmu pawh.
And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
31 Te dongah ka kosi he amih soah ka hawk vetih ka thinpom hmai neh amih ka khah ni. Amih kah longpuei te amamih lu dongah ka thoeng sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way upon their heads, says the lord Jehovah.
