Ezekiel 14
1 Isarel kacuenaw tangawn kai koe a tho awh teh, ka hmalah a tahung awh.
Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.
2 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
3 tami capa, hetnaw ni amae meikaphawknaw hah a lungthin dawk a kâen sak awh teh, a hmalah a yonae dawk tâlawnae hah a hruek awh teh, ahnimouh ni pouknae hei hanelah ka o pouh han namaw.
"Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
4 Hatdawkvah, pato nateh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Isarel imthung koe tami pueng ni meikaphawk a lungthin thung a kâen sak teh, hotnaw e hmalah payonnae dawk a rawpnae hah hruek pouh teh, profetnaw koe ka tho pueng, kai BAWIPA ni amae meikaphawk a pap e hoi kamcu lah ka pathung han.
Therefore speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him in it according to the multitude of his idols;
5 Isarel imthung ni amae meikaphawk kecu dawk hoi na ceitakhai awh dawkvah, a lungthin katang dawkvah ka kuet thai nahanelah telah ati.
that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols."'
6 Hatdawkvah, Isarel imthung koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ban awh nateh, namamae meikaphawk koehoi ban awh. Panuet na thonae pueng cettakhai awh.
"Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: "Return, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 Isarel imthung dawk tami bangpatet hai thoseh, Isarel ram e kho ka sak pueng thoseh kai koehoi a kamlang teh, a lungthin dawk meikaphawk a kâen sak lahoi a hmalah payonnae dawk rawpnae hah hruek e lahoi, ahnimouh kong dawk pouknae hei hanelah, profet koevah ka tho e pueng teh kai BAWIPA roeroe ni ka pathung awh han.
For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 Hote tami teh, ka kangdue sin vaiteh, noutnae, cingthuinae lah ka hruek han. Ahni hah ka taminaw koehoi ka takhoe han. BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
9 Bang hno pueng dei hanelah, profet hah pasawt pawiteh, hote profet teh kai BAWIPA ni ka pasawt e lah ao teh, ama taranlahoi ka kut ka dâw vaiteh, ka tami Isarelnaw thung hoi ka pâmit han.
"'"If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 A payonnae hah a phu awh han. Profet reknae hoi pouknae kahetkung reknae hah a kâvan han.
They shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him;
11 Isarel imthung teh kai koehoi kahmat awh hoeh toung vaiteh, a payonnae pueng ni a kamhnawng sak hoeh nahanelah, ka tami lah ao awh toung dawkvah, a Cathut lah ka o thai nahan, Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei tet pouh, telah ati.
that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God," says the LORD.'"
12 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
13 tami capa, ram dawk e taminaw ni kâlawk a tapoe awh teh, kaie lathueng yonnae a sak e lahoi, kai ni ka kut ka dâw teh, a hringnae a kungpui, a rawcanaw raphoe pouh e lahoi ahnimouh lathueng takang ka tho sak e lahoi tami hoi saringnaw ka pâmit toteh,
"Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal;
14 Hete tami kathum touh: Noah, Daniel, hoi Job patenghai awm awh haw pawiteh, a lannae ni amamae hringnae dueng doeh rungngang thai awh tih, telah Jehovah ni a dei.
though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the LORD."
15 A ram hah sarang katin sak vaiteh, ram hah ka raphoe dawkvah, apihai ao thai hoeh dawkvah, tami kingdi pawiteh,
"If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals;
16 hete tami kathum touh kaawm nakunghai ka hring e Bawipa Jehovah ni telah a dei, amamae a canu capa naw rungngang thai kalawn mahoeh. Amamanaw dueng rungngang e lah ao awh vaiteh, a ram teh kingdi lah doeh bout ao han.
though these three men were in it, as I live," says the LORD, "they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
17 Hoehpawiteh a ram dawk tahloi ka hno vaiteh, tahloi kâroe haw ka tet boilah, tami hoi moithang pueng koung ka pâmit pawiteh,
"Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, 'Sword, go through the land'; so that I cut off from it man and animal;
18 Hete tami kathum touh kaawm nakunghai Bawipa Jehovah a hring e patetlah a canu capa naw rungngang thai kalawn mahoeh. Amamae hringnae dueng hah a rungngang thai awh han.
though these three men were in it, as I live, says the LORD, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
19 Nahoeh pawiteh, a ram dawk lacik ka pha sak vaiteh, tami hoi moithang be pâmit hanlah thingpalawngnae lahoi ka lungkhueknae hah a ram dawk ka awi pawiteh,
"Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal;
20 Noah, Daniel, hoi Job ahnimouh kaawm awh nakunghai, Bawipa Jehovah ni kai ka hring e patetlah a canu a capa naw hai rungngang mahoeh. A lannae ni amamae hringnae dueng a rungngang awh han telah, BAWIPA ni a dei.
though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the LORD, they could not save either son nor daughter; they would save only their own souls by their righteousness.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Jerusalem lathueng vah, ka patawpoung e ka lawkcengnae pali touh: tahloi, takang, sarang hoi lacik hah tami hoi saring be pâmit hanelah ka pha sak toteh, banghloine a pataw han.
"For thus says the LORD: 'How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal.
22 Hatei khenhaw! hawvah, kaawm rae tâcokhai hanelah, pâhlung lah ao han. Canu capa naw hai, khenhaw! nangmouh koe a tho awh han. A hringnae hoi a tawksak awh e hah, na hmu awh han. Hahoi Jerusalem lathueng vah, hawihoehnae kaphasaknae kong dawkvah, lung na mawng sak awh han. A lathueng hno ka pha sak e pueng dawk a lungmawng awh han.
Yet, look, there shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: look, they shall come forth to you, and you shall see their way and their doings; and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
23 A hringnae hoi a tawksaknae hah na hmu awh toteh, na lung a mawng sak awh han. A lathueng ka sak e pueng a khuekhaw awm laipalah ka sak hoeh tie na panue awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, telah ati.
They shall comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it,' says the LORD."
