Ezekiel 14
1 Isarel kacuenaw tangawn kai koe a tho awh teh, ka hmalah a tahung awh.
Now certain men of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
2 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of Jehovah 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 set up their idols in their heart, and have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face; shall I hear them when they inquire of me?
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 with them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, —I, Jehovah, will answer him 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 lay hold of the house of Israel in their hearts, 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 say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye, even turn yourselves from your idols, and from all your abominations turn ye your faces!
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 every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me through him, —I, Jehovah, 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 a sign and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
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.
And when the prophet is deceived when he speaketh anything, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon 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.
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that inquireth of 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 no more go astray from me, nor be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
12 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Again the word of Jehovah 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 sinneth against me, and grievously transgresseth, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
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 were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 A ram hah sarang katin sak vaiteh, ram hah ka raphoe dawkvah, apihai ao thai hoeh dawkvah, tami kingdi pawiteh,
When I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, and it be desolate so that none passeth through it because of the beasts,
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, 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 when I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land so that I cut off from it man and beast,
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, 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 when I send a pestilence upon that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should deliver only themselves 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more, when I send my four grievous judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
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 behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all which I have brought upon her.
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 ye see their ways and their doings; and ye shall know that not without cause I have done all that I have done to her, saith the Lord Jehovah.
