Ezekiel 9
1 Ka hna ah ol ue la kut dongah ng'khue tih, “Khopuei aka cawhkung rhoek te hang khuen lamtah hlang loh amah pocinah hnopai te pom saeh,” ti nah.
Then he cried in my hearing with a loud voice, and said, “Let the guards come up to the city, each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.”
2 Tlangpuei la aka mael a so vongka longpuei lamloh hlang parhuk ha pawk coeng ke. A kut dongah amah kah ngawnnah hnopai aka pom hlang rhoek ni. Amih khui kah hlang pakhat tah takhlawk pueinak neh a kaep ah cadaek catui a hol. Ha pawk uh vaengah tah rhohum hmueihtuk taengah pai uh.
Then behold! Six men came from the pathway of the upper gate that faces north, each with his weapon of slaughter in his hand. There was a man in their midst dressed in linen with a scribe's equipment at his side. So they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Te phoeiah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah tah cherubim so lamloh luei tih te kah a soah im thohkong ni a om coeng. Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak a kaep ah cadaek catui aka tawn hlang te a khue.
Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherubim where it had been to the threshold of the house. He called to the man dressed in linen who had the scribe's equipment at his side.
4 BOEIPA loh anih te, “Khopuei khui longah Jerusalem khui la paan lamtah a khui ah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii soah aka huei tih aka kii hlang rhoek kah a tal ah kutha khoeih pah,” a ti.
Yahweh said to him, “Pass through the midst of the city—the midst of Jerusalem—and make a mark on the foreheads of those who groan and sigh about all the abominations being performed in the midst of the city.”
5 Te kamah hna ah, “Anih te khopuei longah paan lamtah ngawn laeh. Na mik loh rhen boel saeh lamtah na mik loh lungma ti boel saeh.
Then he spoke to the others within my hearing, “Pass through the city after him and kill. Do not let your eyes have compassion, and do not spare
6 Patong neh tongpang oila khaw, camoe neh manu khaw, kutcaihnah la ngawn laeh. Tedae a pum dongah kutha aka om hlang boeih te tah mop thil boeh, ka rhokso lamloh tong laeh,” a ti. Te dongah im hmai kah hlang rhoek neh patong taeng lamloh a tong uh.
either old man, young man, virgin, little children or women. Kill all of them! But do not approach anyone who has the mark on his head. Begin at my sanctuary!” So they began with the elders who were in front of the house.
7 Te phoeiah amih te, “Im aka poeih neh vongup ah rhok aka bae rhoek te paan uh,” a ti. Te dongah a paan uh tih khopuei lamloh a ngawn uh.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill its courtyards with the dead. Proceed!” So they went out and attacked the city.
8 Amih a ngawn vaengah kai n'hlun. Te vaengah ka maelhmai dongah ka cungku. Ka pang tih, “Aw ka Boeipa Yahovah, Jerusalem ah na kosi na hawk vaengah Israel kah a meet boeih te na thup a,” ka ti.
As they were attacking it, I found myself alone and I fell on my face and cried out and said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in the outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Te vaengah kai taengah, “Israel neh Judah imkhui kathaesainah te bahoeng bahoeng len. Khohmuen ah thii baetawt tih khopuei ah a hoemlae khawk. BOEIPA loh khohmuen a hnoo tih BOEIPA loh hmu pawh,’ a ti uh.
He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood and the city full of perversions, since they say, 'Yahweh has forgotten the land,' and 'Yahweh does not see!'
10 Tedae kai khaw ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti mahpawh. Amih kah khosing te amamih lu soah ka sah ni,” a ti.
So then, my eye will not look with compassion, and I will not spare them. I will instead bring it all on their heads.”
11 Te phoeiah coengah takhlawk pueinak neh a cinghen ah catui aka tawn hlang loh ol a hlat tih, “Kai nang uen bangla boeih ka saii coeng,” a ti.
Behold! The man dressed in linen who had the scribe's equipment by his side came back. He reported and said, “I have done all that you have commanded.”
