Ezekiel 3
1 Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw hekah cayol he na hmuh te ca la ca. Te phoeiah cet lamtah Israel imkhui te thui pah,” a ti.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
2 Te dongah ka ka te ka ang tih cayol te ka caak.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw namah taengah cayol kam paek he na bungko duela ca lamtah na bung hah sak,” a ti. Ka caak tangloeng vaengah tah ka ka dongah a didip neh khoitui bangla om.
And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, cet lamtah Israel imkhui te paan laeh, amih taengah kamah ol neh thui pah.
And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
5 A hmuilai aka khuet neh ol aka kael pilnam taengah pawt tih Israel imkhui taengah ni nang kan tueih.
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
6 A hmuilai aka khuet tih a ol a kael neh a olka na yakming pawh pilnam cungkuem taengah moenih. Amih taengah pawt koinih nang kan tueih khaw amih loh nang ol te a hnatun uh suidae.
Not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.
7 Tedae Israel imkhui loh nang ol te hnatun ham huem uh pawh. Kai ol pataeng hnatun ham a ngaih uh moenih. Israel imkhui boeih tah a tal tlungluen tih a lungbuei khaw mangkhak uh.
But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and hard-hearted.
8 Na maelhmai te amih maelhmai bangla ka tlungluen sak vetih na tal khaw amih tal bangla te ka tlungluen sak bitni ne.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
9 Na tal te hmailung lakah tlungluen lungning la kang khueh bitni. Amih te rhih boel lamtah amih boekoek imkhui kah a mikhmuh ah rhihyawp boeh,” a ti.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.
10 Te phoeiah kamah te, “Hlang capa aw, nang taengah ka thui kamah ol boeih he na thinko ah dueh lamtah na hna neh hnatun.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.
11 Cet lamtah na pilnam paca vangsawn te paan laeh. Amih te thui pah lamtah a hnatun akhaw a toeng akhaw Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah,” a ti.
And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Te vaengah mueihla loh kai te n'dangrhoek tih ka hnukkah amah hmuen ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a tanglue la a uem te hinghuennah ol la yaak.
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place.
13 Mulhing manu neh a la te a phae hum ol neh a voeivang kah lengkho ol khaw hinghuennah tanglue ol la ka yaak.
[I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and the noise of a great rushing.
14 Te phoeiah mueihla loh kai n'dangrhoek tih ng'khuen. Tedae BOEIPA kut he kai soah ha tlungluen tih ka mueihla tah kosi neh khahing la ka cet.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
15 Te dongah Kebar tuiva ah kho aka sa Telabib vangsawn taengla ka pawk. Amih khosa rhoek taengah pahoi ka om tangloeng dae hnin rhih ka om mah amih lakli ah ka pong coeng.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Kebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16 Hnin rhih a bawtnah a pha vaengah BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk.
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 Te vaengah, “Hlang capa nang te Israel imkhui ham rhaltawt la kang khueh coeng. Ka ka lamkah ol he na yaak coeng dongah kai lamlong mah amih te thuituen.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 Halang te, 'Na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ka ti coeng. Tedae halang te a halang longpuei lamloh ah hinglu hlawt ham thuituen tueng te na thuituen pawt tih na thui pawt vaengah, halang khaw amah kathaesainah neh duek koinih anih thii te nang kut lamloh ka suk ni.
When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
19 Tedae nang halang te na thuituen lalah a halangnah neh a halang longpuei lamloh a mael pawt atah, anih te amah kathaesainah dongah duek vetih nang tah na hinglu na huul ni.
Yet if thou shalt warn the wicked, and he shall not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Hlang dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai a saii van atah a mikhmuh ah hmuitoel ka khueh pah vetih anih te duek ni. A tholhnah dongah anih na thuituen pawt koinih a duek vaengah duengnah a saii te poek uh mahpawh. Tedae a thii te nang kut dongah kan toem ni.
Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
21 Aka dueng te a tholh pawt ham a dueng la amah na thuituen van atah anih khaw tholh mahpawh. A thuituen lamloh hing rhoe hing vetih nang khaw na hinglu te na huul van ni,” a ti.
Nevertheless if thou shalt warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
22 Te phoeiah kai soah BOEIPA kah kut pahoi om tih kai taengah, “Thoo lamtah kolbawn la na pawk vaengah namah te pahoi kam voek ni,” a ti.
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
23 Te dongah ka thoo tih kolbawn la ka cet. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah thangpomnah bangla pahoi a pai tarha te Kebar tuiva ah ka hmuh tih ka hmai longah ka bakop.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Kebar: and I fell on my face.
24 Te vaengah ka khuila mueihla ha kun tih ka kho lamloh kai n'thoh. Te daengah kai te m'voek tih kamah taengah, “Na im khui te paan lamtah khai laeh.
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
25 Nang hlang capa te ne, nang soah rhuivaeh hang khueh uh vetih amih taengah nang m'pin uh ni. Te dongah amih lakli ah na mop thai mahpawh.
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
26 Na lai khaw na dang la ka kap sak vetih na tum uh ni. Amih boekoek imkhui aka tluung loh hlang bangla amih taengah na om thai moenih.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house.
27 Tedae nang taengah kan thui vaengah na ka kang ong bitni. Te vaengah amih te, 'Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui,’ ti nah lamtah, aka ngai long tah ngai saeh. Amih tah boekoek imkhui la a om dongah a hnawtkhoe long tah toeng ngawn saeh,” a ti.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.
