Ezekiel 8

1 Kum rhuk kum hla rhuk dongkah hnin nga a lo vaengah kamah im ah ka ngol tih kamah mikhmuh ah Judah kah patong rhoek khaw ngol uh. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah kut he kai sola pahoi ha tla.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.

2 Ka sawt vaengah hmai kah a mueimae bangla phek om he. A mueimae te a cinghen lamloh a dang due hmai bangla om. A cinghen lamloh a so duela rhohumbok kah a pang neh khophaa kah mueimae bangla om.

And I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance of amber.

3 Kut kah muei bang te a thueng tih ka lu samtoel ah kai n'doek. Te vaengah mueihla loh kai he diklai laklo neh vaan laklo la m'pom. Te phoeiah kai te Pathen kah mangthui khuiah tlangpuei la aka mael Jerusalem khui kah vongka thohka la ng'khuen. Te te thatlainah mueimae neh aka thatlai kah tolrhum ni.

And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy.

4 Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah he kolbawn ah a mueimae la pahoi ka hmuh coeng he.

And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I had seen in the plain.

5 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, tlangpuei longpuei la na mik huel laeh,” a ti. Ka mik he tlangpuei longpuei la ka huel tangloeng hatah thatlainah mueimae kah hmueihtuk vongka te tlangpuei ah kak ka hmuh. Te te thohkaeng ah ni a om.

And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north. And I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry.

6 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, amih te na hmuh nama? Amih loh tueilaehkoi a saii uh khungdaeng coeng te. Ka rhokso lamloh lakhla ham he Israel imkhui long ni a saii. Tedae koep na mael vetih tueilaehkoi khaw muep na hmuh bitni,” a ti.

And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations.

7 Te phoeiah kai te vongup thohka la ng'khuen hatah pangbueng dongah a khui pakhat te lawt ka hmuh.

And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold a hole in the wall.

8 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, pangbueng te thuk laeh,” a ti. Te dongah pangbueng te ka thuk hatah thohka pakhat lawt ka hmuh.

And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

9 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Paan lamtah boethae rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te so lah, te te amih long ni he ah he a saii uh,” a ti.

And he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here.

10 Ka kun vaengah rhulcai muei cungkuem neh konawhnah rhamsa kah mueirhol boeih khaw kak ka hmuh. Te te Israel im ah pangbueng kah a kaep a kaep ah a vuel.

And I went in and saw, and behold every form of creeping things, and of living creatures, the abomination, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were painted on the wall all round about.

11 Amih lakli ah Israel imkhui kah patong hlang sawmrhih neh Shaphan capa Jaazaniah khaw pai. Amih hmai ah aka pai hlang loh a kut dongah hmaibael te a pom. Te vaengah bo-ul kah a hu a thah la khu.

And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense.

12 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, Israel im kah patong rhoek loh a ngaihlih imkhui kah hlang neh hmaisuep ah a saii te na hmuh nama? 'BOEIPA loh mamih m'hmuh pawt tih khohmuen he BOEIPA loh a hnoo coeng,” a ti uh,” a ti.

And he said to me: Surely thou seest. O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

13 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Koep na mael vaengah amih loh tueilaehkoi a tanglue a saii uh te na hmuh bitni,” a ti.

And he said to me: If thou turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations which these commit.

14 Te dongah kai te tlangpuei kah BOEIPA im vongka kah thohka la m'pawk puei. Te vaengah manu tarha ana ngol pahoi tih Tammuz te a rhah uh.

And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis.

15 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama? Koep na mael vaengah he lakah a nah la tueilaehkoi na hmuh ni,” a ti.

And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again: and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16 Te phoeiah kai te BOEIPA im vongup khui la m'pawk puei. Te vaengah BOEIPA bawkim thohka kah ngalha laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah hlang pakul panga tluk ana om. BOEIPA bawkim te a hnuk la a rhoe uh tih a maelhmai khothoeng la a khuehuh. Amih loh khothoeng kah khomik te a bawk uh.

And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun.

17 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama? Judah imkhui loh tueilaehkoi a saii te phoeng a? Khohmuen te kuthlahnah neh cung sak kuekluek ham ni a saii uh he. Kai veet ham ni mael uh tih amih loh a hnarhong te thingluei a hu thil lah ko te.

And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose.

18 Te dongah kai loh kosi neh ka saii ni. Ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti mahpawh. Ka hna ah ol ue la ng'khue uh cakhaw amih ol ka hnatun mahpawh,” a ti.

Therefore I also will deal with them in my wrath: my eye shall not spare them, neither will I shew mercy: and when they shall cry to my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.
