Ezekiel 5
1 Hlang capa nang samvo taengkah cunghang paihat aka haat te namah ham lo laeh. Te te namah ham lo lamtah na lu neh na hmuimul khaw vo laeh. Te phoeiah namah ham cooi khiing khueh lamtah boek.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword, as a barber’s razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 Vongup khohnin a thok neh pathum ah pakhat te khopuei laklung ah hmaipuei neh kolh. Pathum ah pakhat te lo lamtah a kaepvai ah cunghang neh tloek. Te phoeiah pathum ah pakhat khohli dongla haeh. Amih hnukah cunghang ka khoh bitni.
A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Tedae te khui lamloh a sii ngai te bet lo lamtah na hnirhaep ah kaelh.
And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Te lamkah te koep lo lamtah hmai khui la voei. Te te hmai neh hoeh lamtah te lamkah hmai te Israel imkhui pum la pak saeh.
And of these again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem he namtom lakli ah a kaepvai kah khohmuen neh ka khueh.
Thus saith the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
6 Tedae ka laitloeknah he namtom lakah, ka khosing te khaw a kaepvai kah kho rhoek lakah halangnah neh a koek. Ka laitloeknah te a hnawt uh tih ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawh.
And she hath rebelled against my judgments in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have rejected my judgments, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na kaepvai kah namtom lakah na hlangping dongah nim ka khosing dongah na pongpa uh pawt tih ka laitloeknah he na vai uh pawh. Na kaepvai namtom kah laitloeknah banglam pataeng na vai uh moenih.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye are turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
8 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai kamah khaw nang kam pai thil coeng. Namtom mikhmuh kah laitloeknah neh na laklo ah ka saii ni.
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Nang kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem dongah ka saii vai pawt te nang taengah ka saii vetih te bang te koep ka saii mahpawh.
And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 Te dongah na khui kah napa rhoek loh a ca rhoek, ca rhoek loh napa rhoek a caak uh ni. Na soah tholhphu kan suk vetih na meet boeih te khohli cungkuem taengla ka haeh ni.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds.
11 Te dongah he tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Kai hingnah ni. Ka rhokso te namah kah sarhingkoi cungkuem neh, namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem neh na poeih het pawt nim? Te dongah ka hlaek vaengah ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti van mahpawh.
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither shall mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
12 Nang taengkah te hlopthum ah hlopkhat, duektahaw ah duek uh vetih na khui ah khokha loh a khah ni. Na kaepvai kah Hlopthum ah hlopkhat te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni. Pathum ah khohli cungkuem taengla ka haeh vetih amih hnukah cunghang ka khoh ni.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Te daengah ni amih taengkah ka thintoek a daeh neh ka kosi ka hlam vetih dam ka ti eh. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh ka kosi he amih soah ka sah phoeiah khaw ka thatlainah neh ka voek te a ming uh bitni.
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury upon them.
14 Te phoeiah na kaepvai kah aka pongpa boeih mikhmuh neh namtom taengah nang te imrhong la, kokhahnah la kang khueh ni.
Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Kai loh nang soah tholhphu te thintoek neh, kosi neh kan saii vaengah na kaepvai kah namtom taengah kokhahnah neh hnaelcoenah, thuituennah neh a rhaerhap la om bitni. Te dongah BOEIPA kamah loh kosi kah toelthamnah nen ni ka thui.
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury, and in furious rebukes: I the LORD have spoken it:
16 Amih taengah yoethae khokha thaltang te ka kah ni. Nangmih aka phae ham te te ka kah te kutcaihnah lam ni a om. Te dongah nang soah khokha kang koei vetih nangmih kah thahuelnah buh te ka bawt ni.
when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;
17 Nangmih taengah khokha neh boethae mulhing kan tueih vetih nangmih te cakol la n'khueh ni. Duektahaw neh thii loh nang te m'pah vetih na taengah cunghang kang khuen ni. BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui.
and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I the LORD have spoken it.
