Ezekiel 36
1 Nang hlang capa loh Israel tlang te tonghma thil laeh lamtah Israel tlang te, 'BOEIPA ol hnatun,’ ti nah.
You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear the LORD’s word.
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.
The Lord GOD says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!”’
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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”
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 GOD: The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
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 the Lord GOD says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’
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 Eretz-Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”
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 the Lord GOD says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’
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 you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand 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 for you, and I will come to you, and you will 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.
I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will 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.
Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”
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.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver 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 devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” 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.
“I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord GOD.’”
16 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk bal tih,
Moreover the LORD’s word 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, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18 Khohmuen ah thii a long sak uh tih a mueirhol neh a poeih uh dongah ni amih soah ka kosi ka hawk van.
Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
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.
I scattered them amongst the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.
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.
When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and have left 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 had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned amongst the nations where 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 tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned amongst the nations where 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.
I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned amongst the nations, which you have profaned amongst them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am proven holy in 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.
“‘“For I will take you from amongst the nations and gather you out of all the countries, 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.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
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.
I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I 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.
I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances 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.
You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your 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.
I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on 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.
I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more 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.
“‘“Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities 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.
I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord GOD. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, 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.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
34 Khohmuen aka pong tih aka pah tom kah mikhmuh ah khopong la aka om te lat a tawn ni.
The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who 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.
They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and 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.
Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, the LORD, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken it, and I 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.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “For this, moreover, I will be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
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 the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
