< Ezekiel 44 >
1 Kai te khothoeng la aka mael poengben rhokso vongka longpuei la n'mael puei vaengah te te ana khai uh pueng.
Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, —but, it was shut.
2 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Vongka a khaih he ana om saeh. Ong boel saeh lamtah he lamloh hlang kun boel saeh. Israel Pathen BOEIPA he te lamloh a kun lalah a khaih uh dongah ana om saeh.
Then said Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby, - Therefore shall it remain—shut.
3 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah buh aka ca aka ca ham khoboei, khoboei mah a khuiah ngol saeh. Vongka kah ngalha long kun saeh lamtah amah long ah cet saeh,” a ti.
The prince! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, — By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come out.
4 Te phoeiah im hmai kah tlangpuei vongka longpuei la kai n'khuen. Ka sawt vaengah BOEIPA im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tarha bae tih ka maelhmai neh ka bakop.
Then he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and lo! the glory of Yahweh, filled the house of Yahweh, — so I fell upon my face.
5 Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw na lungbuei ah khueh lamtah na mik neh hmu laeh. Na hna neh ya laeh. A cungkuem dongah kai loh nang te BOEIPA im kah khosing boeih neh a olkhueng dongkah olkhueng cungkuem te kang uen coeng. Te dongah na lungbuei te a im vongrhai rhokso kah a thoengnah cungkuem taengah khueh laeh.
And Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof, - And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits of the sanctuary.
6 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he, Israel imkhui boekoek taengah thui pah. Israel imkhui nang kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem te nangmih taengah temah laeh saeh.
So then thou shalt say unto the perverse [house] unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out of all your abominations, O house of Israel:
7 Lungbuei pumdul rhoek neh pumsa kah pumdul, kholong ca rhoek te ka rhokso ah om ham nang khuen uh. A tha neh a thii te ka buh la na nawn vaengah ka im te a poeih tih nangmih tueilaehkoi cungkuem loh ka paipi te a phae.
That ye brought in the sons of the foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, To be in my sanctuary. So that he profaned my house, - That ye brought near as my food the fat and the blood, And so they brake my covenant—Among all your abominations;
8 Ka cimcaihnah loh a kuek te na ngaithuen uh pawt dongah ka rhokso dongkah ka kuek te aka ngaithuen la nangmih na khueh uh thae.
Neither kept ye the charge of my holy things, - But ye did set men to be keepers of my charge in my sanctuary, for your own pleasure,
9 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lungbuei pumdul neh pumsa pumdul, kholong ca boeih tah Israel ca lakli kah kholong ca boeih khaw ka rhokso la mop boel saeh.
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, No son of a foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, —of any son of a foreigner, who is in the midst of the sons of Israel.
10 Te dongah Levi pataeng kai taeng lamloh a lakhla vaengah tah Israel loh kho a hmang. Kho a hmang vaengah kai taeng lamloh a mueirhol hnuk a vai uh dongah amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh.
But as for the Levites. Who went far from me, when Israel went astray. Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they bear their iniquity,
11 Te daengah ni ka rhokso ah om uh vetih im vongka kah cawhkung la aka thotat neh im ah aka thotat la a om uh eh. Te rhoek loh pilnam ham hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te ngawn pah saeh. Te rhoek te amih bong ham amih mikhmuh ah pai saeh.
Yet shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, — And attending upon the house, — They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon them.
12 Amih loh a mueirhol hmai ah a thohtat uh khaw Israel imkhui ham tathaesainah hmuitoel la poeh uh. Te dongah ni ka kut he amih ka phuel thil. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh.
Because they used to wait upon them before their manufactured gods, and became to the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity, For this cause have I lifted up my hand concerning them Declareth My Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity;
13 Kai taengah khosoih bi ham ka taengla ha mop uh boel saeh. Cimcaihnah khui lamakh cimcaihnah ni kai kah cimcaihnah cungkuem khuiah ha mop eh. Te dongah amamih kah mingthae neh amamih kah tueilaehkoi a saii uh te phuei uh saeh.
So then they shall not come near unto me To minister as priests unto me, Nor come near unto any of my holy things, As regardeth things most holy, — But they shall bear their rebuke, and their abominations which they have committed;
14 Tedae amih te a thohtatnah cungkuem dongah ka im kah a kuek aka ngaithuen tih a khuiah a cungkuem aka saii la ka khueh ni.
Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, — As to all the labour thereof, and As to all which shall be done therein.
15 Tedae Zadok koca, Levi khosoih rhoek loh ka rhokso kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Te daengah ni amih Israel ca loh kai taeng lamkah kho a hmang vaengah kai aka bong la kai taengah ha mop uh vetih kai taengah maehtha neh thii nawn ham te ka mikhmuh ah a pai uh eh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
But the priests the Levites the sons of Zadok, Who kept the charge of my sanctuary— when the sons of Israel went astray from me, They shall draw near unto me to wait upon me, And shall stand before me, to bring near unto me the fat and the blood Declareth My Lord, Yahweh:
16 Amih ni ka rhokso la a kun uh eh. Te phoeiah amih ni kai aka bong ham ka caboei taengah ha mop uh vetih ka kuek te a ngaithuen uh eh.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and They shall draw near unto my table to wait upon me, - So shall they keep my charge.
