Ezekiel 36

1 Nang hlang capa loh Israel tlang te tonghma thil laeh lamtah Israel tlang te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun,’ ti nah.

And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you the word of the Lord:

2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na thunkha loh, 'Khuih ka khosuen hmuensang rhoek khaw kaimih ham khoh la om coeng,’ a ti lah ko.

Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:

3 Te dongah tonghma lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui laeh. Na pong ham neh kaepvai lamloh nangmih te hloem ham om coeng. Namtom kah a meet ham khoh na om ni. Pilnam kah ol neh theetnah kamhloei ah ni na pongpa coeng.

therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonoured, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:

4 Te dongah Israel tlang rhoek ka Boeipa Yahovah ol he hnatun uh. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh tlang taeng neh som taengah, sokca taeng neh kolrhawk taengah, imrhong aka pong ham neh khopuei a hnoo taengah he ni a thui. A kaepvai kah namtom a meet kah maeh neh tamdaengnah ham ni a om uh.

therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;

5 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Namtom a meet te ka thatlainah hmai neh ka voek het mahpawt nim? Edom long khaw ka khohmuen te a pum la kohoenah neh amamih ham khoh la a khueh uh. Thinko boeih lamloh hinglu kah uetnah neh maeh la a haek uh.

therefore, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:

6 Te dongah Israel khohmuen te tonghma thil lamtah tlang taeng neh som taengah khaw, sokca taeng neh kolrhawk taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Namtom taengkah mingthae na phueih dongah ni kai loh ka thatlainah neh, ka kosi neh ka thui.

therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:

7 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh ka kut te namtom ka thueng thil pawt koinih nangmih te a kaepvai ah amih kah mingthae ni a phueih uh eh.

therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.

8 Tedae nang Israel tlang tah na pae na voeih vetih ka pilnam Israel ham ha pawk tom coeng dongah na thaih khaw thai ni.

But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.

9 Kai he nangmih taengkah coeng dongah, nang taengla ka hooi vaengah n'thohtat thil uh vetih n'tawn uh ni.

For, behold, I am towards you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:

10 Israel imkhui tom kah hlang te a pum la nangmih soah ka pung sak vetih khosa rhoek loh khopuei neh imrhong te a thoh uh.

and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.

11 Nangmih soah hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka ping sak vetih a ping uh neh pungtai uh ni. Nangmih te namah hmuen la kho kan sak sak vetih nangmih te a tongnah lakah kan hoeikhang sak ni. Te vaengah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming uh bitni.

And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Nangmih soah ka pilnam Israel hlang te ka pongpa sak vetih nang m'pang uh ni. Amih taengah rho la na om vetih amih cakol te koep na koei mahpawh.

And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.

13 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te hlang aka yoop na ti uh dongah na namtu khuiah namtu cakol la na om uh.

Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;

14 Te dongah hlang loh n'yoop voel mahpawh. Namtom neh na namtu taengah na cakol rhoe na cakol voel mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.

therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.

15 Namtom taengkah na mingthae te kan yaak sak voel pawt vetih pilnam kah kokhahnah na phuei voel mahpawh. Namtom neh na namtu m'paloe sak voel mahpawh. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.

And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.

16 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk bal tih,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

17 “Hlang capa aw, amih khohmuen kah khosa Israel imkhui neh amih khosing, amih kah khoboe rhamlang nen ni khohmuen a poeih uh. Amih kah longpuei te ka mikhmuh ah pumom kah a tihnai bangla om.

Son of man, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.

18 Khohmuen ah thii a long sak uh tih a mueirhol neh a poeih uh dongah ni amih soah ka kosi ka hawk van.

So I poured out my wrath upon them:

19 Amih te namtom taengah ka taek ka yak tih diklai ah haeh uh. A longpuei tarhing neh a khoboe rhamlang bangla amih te lai ka tloek.

and I dispersed them amongst the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.

20 Tedae namtom te a paan tih pahoi ha pawk uh te khaw ka ming cim ni a poeih. Amih te BOEIPA kah pilnam a ti ngawn dae a khohmuen lamloh coe uh.

And they went in amongst the nations, amongst which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.

21 Te dongah ka cimcaihnah ming dongah ka lungma coeng. Te te a poeih uh dongah ni Israel imkhui khaw namtom taengla pahoi a pawk uh te.

But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom they went.

22 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Israel imkhui ka saii te nangmih ham moenih. Tedae pahoi na caeh nah ah ka cimcaihnah ming te namtom taengah na poeih dongah ni.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom you went.

23 Namtom taengkah a poeih ka ming tanglue te ka ciim ni. Te te amih lakli ah na poeih cakhaw namtom loh kai he Yahweh ni tila a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Nangmih rhangneh amih mikhmuh ah ka ciim uh ni.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned amongst the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified amongst you before their eyes.

24 Nangmih te namtom lamloh kan loh vetih nangmih te diklai pum lamloh kan coi ni. Te vaengah nangmih te namah khohmuen la kan thak ni.

And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:

25 Nangmih soah tui cil kang haeh vetih na tihnai cungkuem lamloh caihcil uh ni. Nangmih te na mueirhol cungkuem lamloh kan caihcil sak ni.

and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.

26 nangmih te lungbuei thai kan paek vetih na khui ah mueihla thai ka khueh phoeiah nangmih pumsa kah lungto lungbuei te ka khoe vetih ngansen lungbuei te nangmih kan paek ni.

And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.

27 Ka mueihla te na kotak ah kam paek ni. Te te ka saii vaengah ka oltlueh neh na pongpa uh vetih ka laitloeknah te ngaithuen neh na vai uh bitni.

And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgements, and do [them].

28 Na pa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen ah kho na sak uh ni. Kamah taengah pilnam la na om uh vetih kai khaw nangmih taengah Pathen la ka om ni.

And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

29 Nangmih te na tihnai cungkuem lamloh kang khang vetih cangpai la kang khue ni. Te te kang kum sak bal vetih nangmih soah khokha kang khueh mahpawh.

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.

30 Thing thaih neh khohmuen thaih te ka thawt sak ni. Te daengah ni khokha kah kokhahnah loh namtom taengah koep n'loh uh pawt eh.

And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine amongst the nations.

31 Te vaengah na boethae longpuei neh na khoboe aka then pawt te na poek ni. Nangmih kathaesainah neh nangmih tueilaehkoi dongah namamih mikhmuh ah te na ko-oek uh ni.

And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.

32 Nangmih ham ka saii hlan. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Nangmih te m'ming kuekluek saeh. Israel imkhui aw na longpbuei ah yahpok neh hmaithae sak laeh.

Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te na thaesainah cungkuem lamloh kan caihcil khohnin ah tah khopuei te kho kan sak sak vetih imrhong te a thoh uh ni.

Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:

34 Khohmuen aka pong tih aka pah tom kah mikhmuh ah khopong la aka om te lat a tawn ni.

and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.

35 Te vaengah, “Khohmuen aka pong he Eden dum bangla om. Khopuei rhoek tah kaksap coeng tih pong coeng. A koengloeng rhoek loh cakrhuet la kho a sak uh,” a ti uh ni.

And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.

36 Te vaengah kai BOEIPA loh a koengloeng tangtae khaw ka thoh tih aka pong khaw ka tawn te na kaepvai kah aka sueng namtom loh a ming ni. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui bangla ka saii ni.

And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].

37 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Amih kah saii pah ham te Israel imkhui he koep ka toem ni vetih amih te hlang tuping bangla ka ping sak ni.

Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;

38 A khoning vaengah hmuencim kah boiva tah Jerusalem boiva bangla om ni. Hlang kah boiva aka bae khopuei rhoek he a kaksap la om vetih kai he BOEIPA tila a ming uh ni.

as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
