Ezekiel 22
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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.
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her 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.
Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
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 art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
5 Nang lamkah a yoei neh a hla loh nang te n'soehsal uh vetih, rhalawt ming dongah soekloeknah bae ni.
[Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
6 Israel khoboei rhoek aih ke, a bantha neh na khuiah thii hawk ham hlang om coeng.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power 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 have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
8 Kai kah a cim te na hnaep uh tih ka Sabbath te na poeih uh.
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast 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.
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
10 Pa kah a yah te na khuiah a poelyoe tih pumom kah a rhalawt neh na khuiah phaep uh.
In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
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 hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath 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 have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
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 mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath 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 thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD 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 heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and 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 shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
17 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla koep ha pawk ol tih,
And the word of the LORD came unto 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 is to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] 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 saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore 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 will I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave [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 in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
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 shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
23 BOEIPA ol kai taengah ha pawk tih,
And the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto her, Thou [art] the 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 of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows 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 violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [difference] 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 princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to 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 them with untempered [morter], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath 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, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger 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, that should make up the hedge, 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 have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
