Ezekiel 24
1 A kum ko neh hla rha kah hlasae hnin rha dongah kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,”
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Hlang loh capa aw, tahae khohnin kuelhuelh kah khohnin ming he namah ham daek rhoe daek laeh. Tahae khohnin kuelhuelh ah Babylon manghai loh Jerusalem a dum coeng.
Son of man, write you the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
3 Boekoek imkhui te thuidoeknah neh thuidoek lamtah amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Am te khueng, khueng lamtah a khuiah tui sak bal.
And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
4 Amah maehpoel neh a phai dongkah maehpoel then boeih te a khuiah sang lamtah a laeng rhuh dongkah a sathen neh baetawt sak.
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Boiva sakthen te khuen lamtah a rhuh te a dangah hmoek bal. A tlawknah dongah tlawk saeh lamtah a rhuh te a khui duela hmin saeh.
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
6 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei aih, am khaw a khuikah a khawt phoeikah a khawt hoeng mai la. Te te a koeih pawh a maehpoel a maehpoel mah tloeh lamtah hmulung khaw naan thil rhae boeh.
Why thus says the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall on it.
7 A thii khaw laipi te vuei thil ham diklai ah hawk pawt tih a laklung kah thaelpang aka tlaai soah a hawk.
For her blood is in the middle of her; she set it on the top of a rock; she poured it not on the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 Kosi sah ham, phulohnah neh phuloh ham te thaelpang a tlaai dongkah a thii ka khueh te dah uh kangna pawh.
That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood on the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Te dongah Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei te kai loh hlanhmai ka hueng thil van bitni.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 Thing hawn lamtah hmai toih laeh. Maeh te na khok neh anhoi thungnom thil lamtah a rhuhrhong te tlum saeh.
Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 A hoeng te hmai-alh soah tloeng lamtah ling saeh. Rhohum te a tlum daengah ni a khui kah a tihnai te tlae vetih a khawt khaw a cing eh.
Then set it empty on the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 A khawt mah thah coeng tih a kawt te hmai loh a noeng pawt dongah thinngan la a ngak coeng.
She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 Na tihnai khonuen rhamtat lamloh nang kan caihcil dae na tihnai lamloh na caihcil moenih. Nang sokah ka kosi koep kahlam due na caihcil moenih.
In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest on you.
14 BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui te thoeng tih ka saii vaengah ka hlahpham pawt vetih ka rhen mahpawh. Na longpuei bangla ko ka hlawt pawt vetih na khoboe rhamlang bangla nang lai n'tloek uh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord GOD.
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
16 “Hlang capa aw, na mik kah a ngailaemnah te nang lamloh lucik neh ka loh coeng ne. Tedae rhaengsae boeh, rhap boeh, na mikphi long sak boeh.
Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Na kii khaw kuemsuem lamtah aka duek ham nguekcoinah saii boeh. Na lukhuem te namah ah hlin lamtah na khokhom khaw na kho dongah buen laeh. Na hmui khaw dah boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca boeh,” a ti.
Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head on you, and put on your shoes on your feet, and cover not your lips, and eat not the bread of men.
18 Te dongah pilnam te te mincang ah ka voek. Hlaem vaengah ka yuu duek tih kai uen bangla mincang ah ka saii.
So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Te vaengah kai taengah pilnam loh, “Mamih ham na thui mahpawt nim? Balae tih kaimih ham he he na saii,” a ti uh.
And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?
20 Amih te ka voek vaengah kai taengah BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 “Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Ka rhokso te ka poeih coeng ne. Hoemdamnah na sarhi khaw, na mik kah ngailaemnah neh na hinglu kah huengaihnah dongah na capa neh na canu na hlun te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.
Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left shall fall by the sword.
22 Te vaengah ka saii bangla saii uh. Na hmui te dah uh boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca uh boeh.
And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 Na lukhuem te na lu dongah, na khokhom te na kho dongah khuehuh. Rhaengsae uh boel lamtah rhap uh boeh. Namamih kathaesainah neh na muei uh vaengah hlang he a manuca ham na nguek uh bitni.
And your tires shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Te dongah Ezekiel nang ham kopoekrhai la om bitni. A cungkuem a saii bangla na saii tih a thoeng vaengah kai he ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila na ming uh bitni.
Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he has done shall you do: and when this comes, you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
25 Nang hlang capa aw amih lamkah a lunghim, a boeimang omthennah, a mikhmuh kah ngailaemnah neh a hinglu kah olrhuh, a capa neh a canu ka loh te khohnin pakhat dongah moenih a?
Also, you son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 Te khohnin kah hlangyong te na hna dongah olthang la ha pawk ni.
That he that escapes in that day shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
27 Te khohnin ah na ka hang ong vetih hlangyong te na voek vetih phah voel mahpawh. Amih ham kopoekrhai la na om tangloeng vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
In that day shall your mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more dumb: and you shall be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
