Ezekiel 23
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
2 “Hlang capa aw, manu pakhat kah a canu huta panit om.
Two women were daughters of one mother,
3 Tedae a camoe lamloh pahoi cukhalh rhoi tih Egypt ah cukhalh rhoi. A rhangsuk te a duep rhoi tih a cuemnah sukbam te hnap a saii.
And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
4 A ming ah a ham te Oholah tih a mana te Oholibah ni. Ka taengah a om rhoi hatah canu capa a sak rhoi tih a ming ah Samaria Oholah neh Jerusalem Oholibah la om.
And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
5 Oholah he kai hmanah cukhalh tih a lungnah khoyoei Assyria taengah pumben coeng.
And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
6 Rhalboei rhoek kah pueinak thim neh, ukkung tongpang naidoeh rhoek, amih marhang dongah aka ngol khaw marhang caem boeih ni.
Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
7 Amih taengkah a cukhalhnah te amih Assyria koca kah hlangrhoei boeih taengah a paek uh tih amih kah mueirhol cungkuem neh aka pumben boeih taengah poeih uh.
And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
8 Egypt lamkah a cukhalhnah te toeng pawt tih a camoe pueng ah anih te a ih puei uh. Amih taengah ah a cuemnah sukbam te a saii tih a cukhalhnah te amah soah a hawk uh.
And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
9 Te dongah anih te a lungnah kut a pumben Assyria ca rhoek kut ah ka paek.
Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
10 Amih loh a capa rhoek neh a canu kah a yah te a poelyoe uh. A khuen uh tih anih te cunghang neh a ngawn uh. Te dongah huta khuiah a ming om tih tholhphu te anih soah a suk uh.
They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
11 A mana Oholibah loh a hmuh vaengah a cuknah dongah poci ngai tih a cukhalhnah neh a maya kah pumyoihnah lakah nah.
And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 Assyria hlang rhoek neh pueinak aka soep ukkung hmaiben, amih boeih tongpang naidoeh, marhang dongah aka ngol marhang caem kah rhalboei te a pumben.
She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
13 Te dongah longpuei pakhat ah a boktlap la a poeih uh te ka hmuh.
And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
14 Tedae a cukhalhnah te a koei tih hlang a hmuh te pangbueng dongah a vuel. Khalden, Khalden kah mueihlip tah pangcik neh a tarhit pah.
And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
15 A cinghen ah hailaem phaivaep neh a lu kah lupong khaw cawklawih. Amih boeilu boeih kah a mueimae he a pacaboeina khohmuen kah Khalden Babylon ca phek ni.
Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
16 A mik dongah a mueimae dongah amih te a pumben a pumben tih Khalden kah amih taengah puencawn te a tueih.
And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
17 Te vaengah Babylon ca rhoek tah a taengkah a hlo thingkong dongla ha pawk tih anih te amih cukhalhnah neh a poeih uh. Amih loh a poeih daengah a hinglu te amih taeng lamloh a hoeng.
And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
18 A cukhalhnah a poelyoe tih a yah a hliphen. Ka hinglu loh a maya a moeng bangla anih taeng lamloh ka hinglu a hoeng.
And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
19 A camoe tue vaengah Egypt khohmuen ah a cukhalh thoelh ham nim te a cukhalhnah loh ping.
And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
20 A taengcaeh rhoek hnukah pumben. Amih saa tah laak saa tih amih yangtui tah marhang yangtui pawn ni.
And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
21 Na camoe kah khonuen rhamtat te na hue vaengah na camoe kah rhangsuk neh na sukbam Egypt ah na duep.
You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
22 Te dongah Oholibah aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang taengkah na lungnah te ka haeng coeng ne. Na hinglu lohamih te a moeng dae amih te a kaepvai lamloh nang taengla kang khuen ni.
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
23 Babylon ca rhoek neh Pekod Khalden boeih khaw, Shoa neh Koa, amih taengkah Assyria koca boeih, rhalboei naidoeh tongpang neh amih boeilu ukkung boeih khaw marhang dongah aka ngol la boeih a khue uh.
Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
24 Nang taengah leng neh humhae cungpoel khaw, pilnam hlangping te photlinglen neh photlingca neh lumuek neh ha pawk uh vetih na kaepvai ah a khueh uh ni. Amih mikhmuh ah laitloeknah kang khueh vetih amih kah laitloeknah neh nang lai kan tloek ni.
And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
25 Ka thatlainah he nang taengah kam paek vetih nang te kosi neh n'saii uh ni. Na hnarhong neh na hna te han hlap uh vetih na hmailong ah cunghang loh a cungku sak ni. Na capa neh na canu a khuen uh vetih na hmailong ah hmai loh a hlawp uh ni.
And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
26 Nang te na himbai ham pit uh vetih na boeimang hnopai khaw han loh uh ni.
And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
27 Te vaengah nang lamkah na khonuen rhamtat neh Egypt khohmuen lamkah na thurha te ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni amih soah mik na huel pawt vetih Egypt khaw koep na poek pawt eh.
And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
28 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang te rhoek kut ah kan tloeng coeng ne. Te rhoek kut te na hmuhuet tih na hinglu loh amih te a moeng dae ta.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
29 Hmuhuetnah neh nang te n'saii uh vetih na thaphu boeih han loh uh ni. Nang te pumtling neh yangyal la n'hnoo uh vetih na yah neh pumyoihnah, na khonuen rhamtat neh na cukhalhnah a hliphen ni.
And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
30 Namtom hnukah na cukhalh tih amih kah mueirhol neh na poeih uh dongah ni te rhoek te nang soah a saii.
To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
31 Na maya kah longpuei ah na pongpa dongah a boengloeng te nang kut ah kam paek ni.
You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
32 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na maya boengloeng te ki na ok vaengah nueihcil la om mungkung vetih tamdaengnah te muep eal ni.
Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
33 Rhuihahnah neh kothae, na maya Samaria kah imsuep boengloeng neh khopong boengloeng na hah bitni.
You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Te te na ok tih na caep phoeiah a paikaek te na cilh vetih na rhangsuk na phuet ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kamah loh olphong ka thui coeng.
And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
35 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai nan hnilh tih na nam la kai nan rhoe dongah namah loh namah kah khonuen rhamtat neh na cukhalhnah te khaw phuei laeh,” a ti.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
36 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, Oholah neh Oholibah te lai na tloek tih amih rhoi kah tueilaehkoi te amih rhoi taengah na thui aya?
And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
37 Samphaih uh tih a kut ah thii kap. A mueirhol neh samphaih uh tih kai ham a sak a ca rhoek pataeng amih taengah toihthing bangla a cum uh.
For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
38 Kai taengah a saii rhoi he khaw te khohnin ah ka rhokso ni a poeih rhoi tih ka Sabbath ni a poeih rhoi.
Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
39 Te vaengah a ca rhoek te a mueirhol ham a ngawn uh tih te khohnin ah ka rhokso te poeih ham a kun thil uh. Te dongah ka im khui ah a saii uh tangkhuet he.
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
40 Amih taengah puencawn la a tueih tih khohla bangsang lamloh aka pawk hlang ham pataeng khaw a tueih thiluh. Ha pawk uh vaengah tuihlu lamtah na mik duum ne. Te phoeiah cangen te oi ne.
And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
41 Khuehtawn thingkong dongah na ngol tih a mikhmuh ah caboei a phaih. Kai kah bo-ul neh ka situi tah amah dongah na khueh van.
And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
42 A kaepvai hlangping kah thayoeituipan ol neh bitun tongpa khuikah hlang khaw, khosoek lamkah yumii, yumii khaw hang khuen. Te vaengah a kut dongkah khungpak neh a lu dongah boeimang rhuisam a khuem uh.
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
43 Te vaengah, 'Samphaihnah neh rhuem coeng tih anih ham tah a cukhalhnah dongah cukhalh la cukhalh laeh saeh,’ ka ti.
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
44 Pumyoi nu taengah aka kun bangla anih te a paan uh. Te dongah khonuen rhamtat nu Oholah taeng neh Oholibah taengla pawk uh tangkhuet.
And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
45 Tedae amih hlang dueng loh amih te samphaih laitloeknah neh thii hawk kah laitloeknah dongah lai a tloek uh ni. Amih te samphaih uh tih a kut ah thii kap.
As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
46 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Amih te hlangping paan sak lamtah amih te ngaihuetnah neh maeh la pae.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
47 Amih te hlangping loh lungto neh dae saeh lamtah amih te a cunghang neh hum saeh. A ca tongpa rhoek neh a ca huta rhoek te a ngawn pah vetih a im te hmai neh a hoeh uh ni.
And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
48 Tedae khohmuen kah na khonuen rhamtat te ka paa sak daengah ni huta boeih te thuituen uh vetih nangmih kah khonuen rhamtat bangla a saii uh pawt eh.
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
49 Nangmih kah khonuen rhamtat te namamih soah han tloeng vetih na mueirhol tholhnah khaw na phueih ni. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kamah he nan ming uh bitni.
And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
