Ezekiel 12
1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Tami capa, nang teh tarankathaw e imthung koe doeh na o. Hmunae mit a tawn eiteh, hmawt thai hoeh, thainae hnâ a tawn eiteh, ka thaipanuek hoeh e naw tarankathaw e imthung lah na o awh.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa santoungnae koe ka cet hane patetlah na hnopai kahawicalah taoung nateh, khodai lah ahnimae hmaitung roeroe vah kamthaw haw. Na hmu awh lahun nah na onae hmuen koehoi hmuen alouke koe na cei han. Tarankathaw e lah kaawm awh nakunghai a lung a ang awh yawkaw han doeh.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 Na hnopainaw hah khodai lah ahnimae hmaitung roeroe vah, santoungnae koe ka cet hane ni hno lae patetlah na la han. Nang nama roeroe hai ahnimae hmaitung vah ram louk ka cet hane patetlah na cei han.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Ahnimae hmaitung vah kalupnae rapan hah na raphoe vaiteh, hawvah na hno hah na tâcokhai han.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 Ahnimae hmaitung roeroe vah na loung hoi na hrawm vaiteh, khohmo na tâcokhai han. Talai na hmu hoeh na han na minhmai na ramuk han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel imthung hanelah a khetsin hanelah na ta toe telah a ti.
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 Kâ na poe e patetlah ka sak teh ka hnopai hah santoung hane patetlah kanîthun vah ka tâcokhai, Ka kut hoi karum rapan ka raphoe teh, karum lah ahnimae hmaitung roeroe vah ka loung dawk ka hrawm.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 Hahoi amom vah Bawipa Jehovah e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 tami capa Isarel imthung, tarankathaw e imthung ni nang koevah, bang ne na sak telah ati nahoehmaw.
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Ahnimouh koe Jehovah Cathut ni hettelah a dei, hete lawk heh Jerusalem kacuenaw hoi ahnimouh koe kaawm e Isarel imthung abuemlae kong doeh.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 Nangmouh hanelah khetsin hanelah ahmaloe kamnue sak e doeh. Ka sak e boiboe lah ahnimae lathueng hai ka sak han. San lah toung sak hanelah man lah ao han telah tet pouh.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 Ahnimouh koe kaawm rae kahrawikungnaw ni khohmo thung a hnopai a loung hoi a hrawm awh vaiteh, a tâco awh han. A tâco awh nahane rapannaw a raphoe awh han. A mit hoi ram a hmu awh hoeh nahanelah, a minhmai a ramuk awh han.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 Ahni teh kaie tamlawk hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, kaie masi dawk a kâman han. Khaldean ram e Babilon vah ka thokhai han. Haw tueng vah kadout nakunghai khopui hmawt mahoeh.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Ahni kabawm hanelah a teng kaawm e hoi kâkaheisak vaiteh, rayu tangcoung e tahloi hoi ka pâlei han.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 Miphunnaw koe ka kâkaheisak teh ram tangkuem koe ka pâlei navah, BAWIPA lah ka o e hah a panue awh han.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 Hateiteh, tahloi hoi takang patawnae naw thung hoi tami youn touh ka cawi sak han. Ahnimouh ni a tho awh hoeh nae ram koelae miphunnaw koevah, panuettho e pueng hah a kamnue sak awh nahan, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o e hah a panue awh han telah a ti.
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Hothloilah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 tami capa pâyaw laihoi rawca cat nateh, kâhruetcuet laihoi tui hah net haw.
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 Hote ram dawk e taminaw koe Bawipa Jehovah ni Jerusalem e kho ka sak e thoseh, Isarel ram e kho ka sak e koe thoseh, hettelah a dei. Ahnimouh ni kâhruetcuet laihoi rawca a ca awh han. Lungpuen laihoi tui a nei awh han, hottelahoi khocanaw ni a sak awh e kathout hno thung kaawm e hnonaw thung hoi a hlout awh han.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 Tami a onae khonaw a rawk teh ram pueng kingkadi lah ao han, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han telah a ti.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 Tami capa, a hnintha a loum toteh kamnuek e vision hai a rawk toe telah ouk na ti awh e hah Isarel ram dawk ouk hno e cingthuilawk hah bangtelane.
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Hete cingthuilawk kaduemca e heh ka pahnawt teh Isarel ram dawk hno awh mahoeh toe. A hnintha a hnai toe. Kamnuek e vision pueng akuep nahane tueng a hnai toe telah ahnimouh koe a dei pouh.
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 Isarel imthungnaw thung dawk aphu kaawm hoeh e kamnuek e hoi hawinae koe lah cungpam rayunae roeroe awm mahoeh toe.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o. Ka dei e hah kuepsak lah ao han, akuepnae tueng hai tahruet mahoeh. Tarankathaw e imthungnaw na hring nathung roeroe lawk ka dei vaiteh ka kuep sak mingming hah telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah a ti.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 tami capa thai haw, Isarel imthung ni kamnuenae a hmu e teh hmalah hanelah doeh, a dei tangcoung e hai hmalah hane doeh telah atipouh.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka lawk ceitakhai e awm mahoeh. Ka dei e lawk pueng heh kuep sak e lah ao han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah dei pouh telah a ti.
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
