< Ezekiel 13 >

1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
2 tami capa, Isarel profet ma ngainae dueng ka dei e koevah, BAWIPA e lawk thai haw tet pouh.
'Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:
3 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. A lai kathout e profet, ma ngainae dueng ka tarawi niteh, banghai ka hmawt thai hoeh e profetnaw teh a yawthoe awh.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
4 Oe Isarel na profetnaw teh thingyeiyawn e asuinaw patetlah doeh ao awh.
As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
5 BAWIPA e hnin dawk tarantuk nah a ngang awh thai nahanelah, ahnimouh teh rapan karawknaw hah pathoup ngai hoeh.
Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.
6 Ayawmyin doeh a hmu awh toe. BAWIPA ni patoun hoeh e hah. BAWIPA ni na patoun ati awh teh, dumyen lahoi profet lawk a dei awh toe. Hete lawk akuep han telah ayânaw hah a yuem sak awh toe.
They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
7 Ahrawnghrang e kamnuenae na hmu awh teh, kalan hoeh e sutdeilawk na dei awh nahoehmaw. BAWIPA ni a dei e doeh, na ti awh rah, kai ni ka dei e roeroe nahoeh.
A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?
8 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Bang hoeh e hah na dei awh teh, laithoe hah na hmu awh dawkvah, khenhaw! kai ni na taran awh toe telah BAWIPA ni ati.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
9 Ka cungkeihoehe hno kahmawtkungnaw hoi laithoe kadeikungnaw hah, ka kut ni a taran han. Ka taminaw pouknae ka poe awh e dawk bawk van awh mahoeh. Isarel imthung min thutnae dawk thut e lah awm mahoeh. Isarel ram dawk hmuen poe mahoeh. Hottelahoi Bawipa Jehovah lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han.
And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
10 Atangcalah, roumnae awm laipalah pâdingsue doeh telah ka taminaw hah, a kahmakhai awh teh, ayânaw e tapang dawk thungpangaw doeh a hluk awh.
Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.
11 Thungpangaw kahluknaw koevah, kho a rak vaiteh, koung bout a bo awh han. Nangmouh roun kalenpuinaw bawt awh nateh, katangpounge kahlî ni koung raphoe naseh telah tet awh.
Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,
12 Khenhaw! rapan hah a tip hnukkhu, thungpangaw na hluk awh e teh, nâmaw ao han telah tet awh mahoeh na maw.
And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?
13 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ka lungkhuek lahoi katangpounge kahlî hoi koung ka raphoe han. Ka lungkhuek lahoi kho a rak vaiteh, ka lungkhuek lahoi roun puenghoi a bo awh han.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.
14 Hottelahoi thungpangaw na hluk awh e rapan hah ka raphoe vaiteh, talai totouh a rawp vaiteh, adu ung e talung totouh a kamnue han. A rawp vaiteh, rapan a tipnae dawk be raphoe e lah na o awh han. Hat toteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han.
And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
15 Hettelah rapan dawkvah thoseh, thungpangaw ka hluk e lathueng thoseh, ka lungkhueknae kamnue sak han. Rapan awm hoeh toe, kahluknaw hai awm hoeh toe telah ati awh han.
And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;
16 Haw teh, Isarel profet Jerusalem kong sut ka dei e roumnae awm laipalah roumnae vision kahmawtsakkungnaw doeh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
17 Hothloilah Oe tami capa, amahmawk profet lawk ka dei e na taminaw hoi napuinaw taranlahoi kangvawi nateh,
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
18 Bawipa Jehovah e lawk na dei hane teh, hringnae man hanelah, tami pueng e loung koe hno hah a thueng teh, tami kacue kanaw e lû dawk ka tat e napuinaw teh, a yawthoe awh. Ka taminaw e a hringnae hah man vaiteh, mae hringnae hah duenae koehoi rungngang awh han na maw.
And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?
19 Catun vai touh kasum e hoi vaiyei phen hmau hanelah, kadout hoeh hane due sak teh kahring hoeh hane hring sak hanelah, laithoe na dei awh e hah, tami ni a yuem awh dawkvah, ka taminaw koevah, ka min na khin sak awh.
Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.
20 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, nangmouh ni tami hringnae hmu hanelah na man awh teh, ka hno thai e raim kaawm e hnonaw hah nangmouh dawk hoi ka takhoe vaiteh, nangmouh ni na man awh e hringnae hah ka tha han.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
21 Na lahuen hai ka phi vaiteh, kaie taminaw hah na kut dawk hoi na lawp han. Nangmae kut dawk bout phat mahoeh toe. Kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o e hah na panue awh han.
And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
22 Kai ni lung ka mathoe sak hoeh e tamikahawinaw hah nangmouh ni laithoe lahoi lung na mathoe sak dawkvah thoseh, tamikathoutnaw ni thoenae lamthung roun sak hoeh nahanelah, hringhloutnae na poe awh teh, a lung na pata sak awh dawk thoseh,
Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
23 nangmouh teh ayawmyin e hno na hmawt awh mahoeh toe. Profet lawk na dei awh mahoeh toe. Ka taminaw hah nangmae kut dawk hoi ka rasa han. Kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o e hah nangmouh ni na panue awh han, ati.
Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
