Ezekiel 34
1 BOEIPA ol kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Hlang capa Israel aka dawn taengah tonghma pah. Tonghma lamtah amih aka dawn taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae Israel aka dawn rhoek khaw amamih aka luem la om uh tih boiva aka luem te dawn uh pawt mico?
Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the hocks be fed by the shepherds?
3 A tha te na caak uh tih tumul te na bai uh. Na luem puei uh van pawt ah, boiva a toitup te na ngawn uh.
You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
4 Aka nue te na moem uh pawt tih aka tlo te na toi uh pawh. Aka khaem te na khop uh pawt tih a heh uh te khaw na mael uh puei pawh. Aka milh te khaw na toem uh pawh. Tedae amih te mangkhak la, thama la na buem uh.
The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.
5 Aka dawn a tal dongah taekyak uh tangloeng. A taek a yak vaengah tah khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la poeh.
And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
6 Ka boiva loh tlang tom neh som a sang tom ah palang uh. Diklai hman tom ah ka boiva loh a taekyak vaengah toem voel pawt tih tlap voel pawh.
My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks mere scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.
7 Te dongah aka dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
8 Kai tah hingnah ni tite Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Ka boiva te maeh la om mailai pawt nim? Ka boiva loh khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la a poeh he khaw dawn voel pawt tih a toem pawt dongah ni. Ka boiva te ka dawn sak dae amamih aka dawn la luem tih ka boiva te dawn uh pawh.
As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:
9 Te dongah tu dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
10 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Tu aka dawn rhoek te ka pai thil coeng tih amih kut lamkah ka boiva te ka toem ni. Amih te boiva aka luem puei lamloh ka paa sak daengah ni amamih ah aka dawn long khaw koep a luem thil uh pawt eh. Ka boiva te amih ka lamloh ka huul daengah ni amih kah cakok la a poeh pawt eh.
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my hock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.
11 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai kamah loh ka boiva te ka toem ngawn vetih amih ka hnukdawn ni he.
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.
12 Te khohnin ah anih te a tuping aka dawn hnukdawnkung bangla taekyak tangtae a boiva lakli ah om ni. Ka boiva te ka hnukdawn vetih cingmai neh yinnah hnin ah a taek a yak nah hmuen boeih lamloh amih te ka huul ni.
As the shepherd visiteth his hock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 Amih te pilnam lamloh ka khuen vetih amih te paeng tom lamloh ka coi ni. Amih te amamih khohmuen la ka thak vetih amih Israel tlang kah sokca neh khohmuen tolrhum cungkuem ah ka luem puei ni.
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.
14 Amih te luemnah then neh ka luem puei vetih Israel tlang sang ah amih kah tolkhoeng om ni. Tolkhoeng then ah kol uh vetih Israel tlang kah luemnah dongah pulpulh luem uh ni.
I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.
15 Ka boiva te kamah loh ka luem puei vetih amih te kamah loh ka kol sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni.
I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
16 Aka milh te ka toem vetih a heh tangtae te khaw ka mael puei ni. Aka khaem te ka poi pah vetih aka nue te tha ka caang sak ni. Tedae pulpulh aka tlungluen khaw ka mitmoeng sak vetih tiktamnah neh ka luem sak ni.
I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment.
17 Nangmih ka boiva rhoek aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh tu neh tu laklo, tutal laklo neh kikong laklo ah lai ka tloek coeng he.
And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.
18 Luemnah then ah na luem uh tena yakvawt nim? Na luemnah coih te na kho neh na taelh. Tui cil na ok dae a coih te na kho neh na nu sak.
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.
19 Nangmih kho loh a cawtkoi te ka boiva loh luem thil saeh lamtah nangmih kho loh a nookkoi te o saeh a?
And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
20 Te dongah ka boeipa Yahovah loh amih taengah he ni a thui. Kai kamah loh tu tha laklo neh tu pim laklo ah lai ka tloek ngawn ni.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
21 Na vae neh, laengpang neh na nen uh tih na ki neh na thoeh uh. Amih te boeih a muei hil vongvoel la na taek na yak uh.
Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:
22 Te dongah ka boiva te ka khang vetih maeh la om voel mahpawh. Tu neh tu laklo ah lai ka tloek.
I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 Amih aka dawn te pakhat ka thoh pah vetih amih te a luem puei ni. Ka sal David loh amih te a luem puei vetih amah te amih aka dawn la om ni.
AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 BOEIPA kamah he amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih ka sal David tah amih lakli ah khoboei la om ni. He he BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui.
And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.
25 Amih taengah rhoepnah paipi ka saii vetih boethae mulhing te diklai lamloh ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni khosoek ah ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih duup ah a ih uh eh.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.
26 Amih te ka som kaepvai kah yoethennah te ka paek ni. A tue vaengah khonal ka tueih vetih yoethennah khonal la om ni.
And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
27 Khohmuen thingkung loh a thaih te a paek vetih diklai loh a cangpai a paek ni. A khohmuen ah ngaikhuek la om uh vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah hnamkun hnokohcung te ka haih pah vetih amih aka thotat sak kut lamloh amih ka huul ni.
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.
28 Namtom kah maeh la om uh voel pawt vetih amih te diklai mulhing loh dolh mahpawh. Ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih lakueng uh mahpawh.
And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.
29 A thingling ming te amih ham ka thoh ni. Te daengah ni khokha aka tlung khaw khohmuen ah om voel pawt vetih namtom taengah mingthae a phueih uh voel pawt eh.
And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.
30 Te vaengah kai he amih taengkah a Pathen BOEIPA neh amih Israel imkhui khaw ka pilnam la a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.
31 Nangmih tah kai kah boiva ni. Nangmih kah hlang te khaw ka rhamtlim khuikah boiva ni. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
