Ezekiel 11

1 Hottelah Muitha ni na tawm teh, kanîtholah kangvawi e BAWIPA im longkha koe na pha sak. Kâennae takhang dawk tami 25 touh ao. Ahnimanaw thung dawk maya kahrawikungnaw Azzur capa Jaazaniah hoi Benaiah capa Pelatiah ka hmu.

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.

2 Kai koe a dei e lawk teh tami capa, hetnaw heh hete khopui dawk payonnae ka thokhai e hoi ka payon e khokhannae katâcawtsakkung hoi ka yon e khokhannae ka tâcawtsakkungnaw doeh.

And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.

3 Im saknae tueng nahoeh rah. Hete khopui heh ka tangdawk e moi hlaam lah ao. Kaimanaw heh a moi lah ka o awh telah katetkungnaw doeh.

They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

4 Hatdawkvah, Oe tami capa, ahnimouh koe lah profet lawk dei loe telah ati.

Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”

5 Hatnavah, BAWIPA e Muitha kaie lathueng a pha teh, kai koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei telah dei pouh. Hettelah ouk na dei awh, Oe Isarel imthungnaw, na muitha e lakhout hai ka panue.

And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.

6 Nangmouh ni hete khopui dawk thei e lahoi na pung sak awh teh, khothung lamnaw hah thei e naw hoi na kawi sak awh toe.

You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

7 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, na thei e a lungui na hruek e hah a moi doeh. Hete khopui teh moi hlaam ka tangdawk e doeh, hateiteh khopui thung hoi rasa lah na o han.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.

8 Na takipoung e tahloi hah na lathueng ka pha sak han. Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.

You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.

9 Kai ni nangmouh teh khopui thung hoi na rasa vaiteh, Jentelnaw e kut dawk na poe han, lawk na ceng awh han.

I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.

10 Nangmouh teh tahloi hoi na due awh vaiteh, Isarel khori koe lawk na ceng awh han, Kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie na panue awh han.

You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

11 Hete khopui teh ka tangdawk e hlaam nahoeh, nangmouh hai a thung e moi na hoeh, Isarel khori dawk lawk na ceng awh han.

The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.

12 BAWIPA doeh tie na panue awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka phunglam na tarawi awh hoeh. Ka lawk ka dei e hai na tarawi awh hoeh. Na tengpam e Jentelnaw phunglam law teh na tarawi awh telah ati.

Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”

13 Lawk ka pâpho lahun nah Benaiah capa Pelatiah hah a due. Hottelah hoi pakhup lah ka rawp teh, kacaipounglah ka hram. Aya! Bawipa Jehovah kacawirae Isarelnaw hah na pâmit han na maw telah ka ti.

Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”

14 Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk hah kai koe a pha.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

15 Tami capa na hmaunawngha, na imthung, na miphun hoi Isarel imthung abuemlahoi Jerusalem karingkungnaw hah BAWIPA koehoi kahlat lah cet awh. Hete ram heh kai koe na poe toe, katetnaw doeh.

“Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’

16 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ka hlatpoung lah Jentel miphun koehoi na puen teh ram tangkuem kahei nakunghai, a phanae ram dawkvah, ahnimouh han kathounge hmuen kathoung lah dongdeng ka o han.

Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’

17 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Jentelnaw koe bout na pâkhueng han, na kâkaheinae hmuen koehoi na pâkhueng vaiteh, Isarel ram hah na poe awh han.

Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’

18 Hawvah, a tho awh vaiteh, kamhnawng e hoi panuettho e pueng teh haw e hmuen koehoi koung a raphoe han.

When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.

19 Lungthin buet touh na poe awh vaiteh, nangmouh thung muitha ka hruek han, na takthai thung e talung patetlah kate e lungthin hah ka la vaiteh, tak patetlah kanem e lungthin hah na poe han.

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,

20 Ka phunglam a tarawi teh lawkcengnae a coe awh teh, a sak thai awh nahan, hottelah ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, kai hai a Cathut lah ka o han.

so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.

21 Hateiteh, panuetthopounge ngainae koe lungthin hoi katarawinaw e yon hah ahnimae a lû dawk ka pha sak han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.

But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

22 Hatnavah, Cherubim ni a rathei a kadai awh teh, lengkhoknaw ni hai ahnimouh koe ao awh. Isarel Cathut a bawilennae teh ahnimae lathueng ao.

Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

23 BAWIPA a bawilennae teh, khopui lungui hoi a luen teh, khopui kanîtholah ka rasang e mon dawk a kangdue.

And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.

24 Muitha ni vision lahoi na tawm teh, Cathut e Muitha ni Khaldean ram e sankatoungnaw koevah na phakhai. Kai ni ka hmu e vision hah kai koehoi luen.

And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,

25 BAWIPA ni na patue e naw pueng hah sankatoungnaw koe ka dei pouh.

I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
