Ezekiel 16
1 BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe bout a pha.
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Tami capa, Jerusalem panuet a thonae hah panuek sak nateh ahni koevah,
“Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations
3 Bawipa Jehovah ni Jerusalem koe hettelah a dei. Na khenae hoi na tâconae ram teh Kanaan taminaw e ram doeh. Na pa teh Amor tami lah ao teh na manu teh Hit tami doeh.
and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
4 Na tâco nah apinihai na thunrui a awh hoeh. Thoung sak hanelah tui dawk hai na pâhluk awh hoeh. Palawi hai na hluk awh hoeh. Kabethueplah hni hoi hoi hai na kayo e hai nahoeh.
On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.
5 Pahren hanelah na lathueng hete hnonaw ka sak hanelah, apie mit ni hai na pahren hoeh, vaipuen vah tâkhawng e lah na o. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na khe na hnin hoi panuet e lah na o.
No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.
6 Nang koe ka tho navah, thi hoi puk na kâkaawk e ka hmu navah, hring loe ka ti, nang teh thi dawk na o lahun nah kai ni ka dei.
Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’
7 Phokung patetlah na roung sak teh, nang teh pou na len sak e, kamcu meikahawi e hoi na kawi. Na sanu a roung teh na tak dawk hai a muen a tho. Hateiteh khohna tawn laipalah caici lah na o.
I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
8 Nang koe ka tho nah na khet toteh, nange na tueng teh pahrennae tueng lah ao teh, kaie hni ka kadai teh caici lah na onae hah ka ramuk. Thoe hai na bo teh nang hoi lawkkamnae ka sak e lahoi, nang teh kaie ka yu lah na o telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
9 Tui hoi na pâsu teh na thipaling teh kathoungcalah ka pâsu teh satui na hluk.
Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
10 Pathoupnae hni hoi na pathoup teh, a pho phukaawm hoi na khokkhawm na khawm sak, loukloukkaang e hni na kâkhu sak.
I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 Pathoupnae hoi na pathoup teh na kut dawk kuthrawt, na lahuen dawkvah sui dingyin,
I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
12 na hnawng dawk hnongpacap, na hnâ dawk hnâpacap, na lû dawk kahawipoung e suilukhung na kâmuk sak.
I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
13 Hottelah sui hoi ngun hoi pathoup e lah na o. Na khohna hai loukloukkaang e hni kahawipoung e carouk e hninaw doeh. Na ca hane bu teh tavai kanui hoi khoitui hoi satui doeh. Na kamcu, mei na hawi poung, siangpahrangnu lahoi na kuep doeh.
So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.
14 Na meihawinae na miphunnaw koe a kamthang, ka bawilen nahanelah pathoup e lahoi kuepcingnae na tawn telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
15 Hateiteh, na meihawinae ekvoi na kâoup dawkvah, na min kamthangnae teh na kâyonae lah na hno. Ka cet kaawm e naw koe na kâyonae na pâpho teh, tongpa pueng ni tha a kâla awh.
But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.
16 Na khohna na rading teh hmuenrasang hah nama hanelah na pathoup. Hawvah, na kâyo. Het patetlae heh bout awm boi mahoeh toe.
You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
17 Kaie sui hoi ngun hnopai kahawi kahawi na poe e na la teh, tongpa meikaphawk sak nahanelah na hno teh na kâyo.
You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.
18 A meikahawi e na khohna hah na la teh, ahnimouh hah na kâkhu sak. Kaie satui hoi hmuitui hah a hmalah vah na pâhung.
You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
19 Kai ni na poe e vaiyei hoi tavai kahawi e hoi satui hoi khoitui ouk na kawknae hah, hmuitui hanelah a hmalah na pâhung pouh teh, hettelah na toung vai yaw khe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
20 Hothloilah, na canu capa na khe pouh e hah ahnimouh koe thuengnae koung hno hanelah na poe, na kâyonae heh rumram nahoeh.
You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
21 Ka canaw na thei teh, hmai hoi thueng hanelah ahnimouh koe na poe e naw hah,
You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.
22 panuet na thonae hoi na kâyonae naw pueng dawk na lung a mathoe lahun nae, caici lah na onae, thi puk na kâkaawk lahun nae hah na naw nah hoi na panuek hoeh mue toe.
And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.
23 Na hawihoehnae naw a hnukkhu hettelah doeh. Lungmathoe hanlah ao telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
24 Lamthung tangkuem meikaphawk bawknae hmuen na sak, nama na kâyo nahane im na sak.
you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
25 Lamthung kâracutnae koe pueng vah, kâyonae im na sak, na meihawinae teh panuettho lah na coung sak. Ka cet kaawm pueng koe na kâpoe teh na kâyonae teh hoe a pap.
At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
26 Izip tami na imri koevah, na kâyo teh, ka lungkhuek nahanelah na kâyonae na nut sak.
You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.
27 Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! na lathueng vah ka kut ka dâw teh, ouk na ca boi e bu ka youn sak teh, nang ka maithoe e Filistin tami napui na kâyonae na kayakkhai e poung koe, a ngaithaithue na sak hanelah na poe.
Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.
28 Assirianaw koehai na kâyo teh, a khout toe tie hai na panuek hoeh.
Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.
29 Kanaan ram Khaldeannaw koe vah na kâyonae bout na nut sak teh, na khout kalawn hoeh.
So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!
30 Na lungthin banghloimaw a kamko. Na kâroekâkhawinae dawk a lung ka patak e napui patetlah hno na kâyo telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!
31 Lam a kâcunae koe pueng tami pawpnae rim hah na sak teh, lamsalun tangkuem koe e kâkaawknae hmuen na sak e naw dawkvah aphu na hei hoeh dawkvah, kâyawt e lah na awm hoeh toe.
But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
32 Thoundoun alouke hoi ka ip e napui, vanaw hlak tami alouke ka ngaihnawn e napuinaw,
You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
33 tongpa ni kâyawt e napui koe aphu ouk a poe awh. Nang ni teh na ka ngai e koe doeh letlang na poe. Ram tangkuem hoi a tho awh teh, na ikhai nahanelah nama ni ouk na pasawt.
Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
34 Na kâyonae dawk apinihai na pâtam hoeh e hah, kâyawt e alouke hoi na kâvanhoehnae doeh. Apinihai aphu na poe awh hoeh niteh, nang ni law dai na poe e hah kâvanhoehnae doeh.
So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
35 Hatdawkvah Oe kâyawt e napui, BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw.
Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!
36 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, panuet na thonae teh, meikaphawknaw hoi, na kâyonae hoi, caici lah na onae kamnue sak e lahoi, ahnimouh koe na poe e na canaw e thipaling kecu dawkvah,
This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
37 Khenhaw! na ka ipkhai e hoi na ka pahren e tami pueng, na ka maithoe e pueng hah ka pâkhueng han, nang koe ka thokhai vaiteh, caici lah na onae a hmu awh thai nahan, ahnimouh koe caici lah na onae hah kamnue sak han.
therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.
38 Hahoi napui a vâ a kapek teh, mae canaw thipaling palawngnae kong dawk lawk ouk ceng e patetlah nange kong heh lawkceng awh han, lungkhueknae hoi ka patawpoung e lungphuennae ka pha sak han.
And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.
39 Ahnimae kut dawk na poe vaiteh, na kâkaawknae ka raphoe han. Na hmuenrasangnaw ka rawp sak han. Na khohnanaw hah a rading awh vaiteh, a phukaawm e painapaitunnaw a la awh han, hni laipalah tak caici lah na hruek awh han.
Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
40 Tami moikapap a kaw vaiteh, ahnimouh ni talung hoi na dei awh han. Tahloi hoi na bouk awh han.
They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 Nange im hah hmai hoi a sawi awh han. Napui moikapap a hmunae koe nange lathueng lawkcengnae a pha sak han. Na kâyonae teh ka pout sak vaiteh, nang teh ayânaw na hlai mahoeh toe.
Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
42 Hottelah hoi ka lungkhueknae hah na lathueng vah ka kuepcalah ka kamnue sak han. Na dipmanae hai nangmouh koe hoi ka takhoe vaiteh, muengmueng ka o han, ka lungkhuek mahoeh toe.
So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
43 Na nawnae hnin hah na pahnim teh, hete hnonaw dawk rucatnae na poe dawkvah, khenhaw! na kâroenae patetlah na lathueng ka pha sak han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Hahoi panuet na thonae pueng thap sin hanelah, hete na kâyonae na sak mahoeh toe.
Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
44 Khenhaw! cingthuilawk kaduemca ka hno e pueng ni hete cingthuilawk hah a hno awh han, a canu ni a manu phek a la, tie hah.
Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
45 Na manu mae vâcanaw patenghai kapanuetkung, canu lah na o, hmaunawngha coungnae koe lah mae vâ hoi canaw kapanuetkung hmaunawngha lah na o. Na manu Hit tami doeh, napanaw hah Amornaw doeh.
You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Na tawncanu teh Samaria, nange avoilah kho ouk ka sak e hah ama hoi a canunaw hoi doeh. Na hmau na nawngha hoi aranglah kho ouk ka sak e hah teh Sodom hoi a canunaw doeh.
Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
47 A hring nuencang hah na tarawi hoeh eiteh, panuet a tho awh e patetlah na sak hoeh ei, na hring nathung e na payonpakainae naw pouk toteh, hothateh, dei hane kamcu hoeh.
And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.
48 Kai ka hring e patetlah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, nang nama hoi na canaw ni a sak awh e heh, a hmaunawngha Sodom hoi a canu ni hai sak awh hoeh.
As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.
49 Na hmaunawngha Sodom a yonnae teh, hetnaw hah doeh, kâoupnae hoi king ka boum lah canae ama hoi a canunaw a nawmnae lah ao teh, tami ka roedeng hoi voutthoup e taminaw hah kabawm awh hoeh.
Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.
50 Kâoupnae poung e lah ao teh kaie kahma lah panuettho e hno kasakkungnaw doeh, hatdawkvah, ahawi ka tie patetlah kai ni ka raphoe toe.
Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
51 Samaria nihai, nang ni na sak e yonnae a tangen boehai sak hoeh. Ahnimanaw hlak panuet ka thoe e hno hah na sak dawkvah, na hmaunawnghanaw e yon hah na kamnuek sak hoeh.
Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
52 Na hmaunawnghanaw kalanhnawn lah na kamnue sak dawkvah, nang nama roeroe ni na yeiraiponae teh na phu hanelah ao. Ahnimanaw hlak panuetthopounge hno hah hoe kapap lah na sak teh, na hawihoehnae kecu dawk, ahnimouh teh nangmanaw hlak vah a lan hnawn. Na hmaunawngha kalanhnawn lah na kamnuesaknae dawkvah, kayak poung e hoi yeiraiponae hah na coe han.
So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
53 Hahoi, Sodom hoi a canu e hringnuen hoi ahnimouh hoi nangmae hringnuen hai ka thung han.
But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.
54 Ahnimouh han roumnae lah ouk na onae dawkvah, na sak e hnopueng kecu dawk na kayayeirai lah na o thai nahan,
So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.
55 Na hmaunawngha Sodom hoi a canunaw hoi Samaria hoi a canunaw hah, a hringnuen hmaloe e patetlah bout a hring awh vaiteh, nang hoi na canunaw hai, ahmaloe e na hringnae dawkvah, bout na hring awh han.
And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.
56 Na hawihoehnae hmu hoehnahlan e, na bawilennae hnin dawkvah, na hmaunawngha Sodom teh a min kuekluek dei mahoeh namaw.
Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,
57 Atuteh, Siria canu hoi atengpam e tami pueng Filistin canunaw nang teng e na ka panuikhainaw hoi puenghoi na kapathoenaw,
before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.
58 na kâyonae hoi panuet na thonae hah pou na kampu telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.
59 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Lawkkam e hah tapuet teh, lawkkam e banglahai na noutna hoeh e patetlah na lathueng ka sak van han.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
60 Hateiteh, na camo nah nang koe ka lawkkam e hah ka pahnim mahoeh, nang koe vah a yungyoe kangning e lawkkamnae ka sak han.
But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Hottelah hmaunawnghanaw hah na coe awh navah, na lung a ang vaiteh, na kayakhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe lawk ka kam kecu dawk nahoeh niteh, ahnimouh teh a canu hanelah na poe han.
Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
62 Nang koe ka lawkkam e ka cak sak vaiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han.
So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
63 Nang ni ouk na sak boi e pueng yontha lah ao han. Ka lung a roum toteh, kai ni na pahnim mahoeh. Kayanae takinae hoi minhmai mathoe kecu dawk lawk ka dei laipalah, ka o han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
