Ezekiel 16
1 BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe bout a pha.
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 Tami capa, Jerusalem panuet a thonae hah panuek sak nateh ahni koevah,
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know 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 say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thine origin and thy nativity were of the land of Canaan. Thy father was an Amorite, and thy 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.
And as to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water so as to be cleansed. Thou wast not sprinkled with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling-clothes.
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 eye pitied thee, to do to thee any of these things, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out into the open field, so as to loathe thyself, on the day thou wast born.
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.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee in danger of being trodden under foot in thy blood, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live! yea, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, 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 caused thee to increase like the plant of the field, and thou didst grow, and become tall, and didst attain to distinguished charms. Thy breasts swelled, and thy hair grew, whereas thou wast 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.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee, behold, it was thy time, the time of love. And I spread my skirt over thee and covered thy nakedness; and I swore to thee, and entered into covenant with thee, and thou becamest mine.
9 Tui hoi na pâsu teh na thipaling teh kathoungcalah ka pâsu teh satui na hluk.
Then I washed thee with water, yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee 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 thee also with broidered work, and gave thee shoes of seal's skin, and wrapped thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.
11 Pathoupnae hoi na pathoup teh na kut dawk kuthrawt, na lahuen dawkvah sui dingyin,
And I decked thee with ornaments, and put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain upon thy neck.
12 na hnawng dawk hnongpacap, na hnâ dawk hnâpacap, na lû dawk kahawipoung e suilukhung na kâmuk sak.
And I put a jewel in thy nostril, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy 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.
Thus wast thou adorned with gold and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work. Fine flour and honey and oil didst thou eat; and thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and didst prosper so as to become a queen.
14 Na meihawinae na miphunnaw koe a kamthang, ka bawilen nahanelah pathoup e lahoi kuepcingnae na tawn telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 thou didst trust in thy beauty, and didst play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst lavish thy fornications on every one that passed by; his was it.
16 Na khohna na rading teh hmuenrasang hah nama hanelah na pathoup. Hawvah, na kâyo. Het patetlae heh bout awm boi mahoeh toe.
And of thy garments thou didst take, and didst make thee high places, spread with divers colors, and didst play the harlot thereon, the like things to which shall not come to pass, neither shall they be.
17 Kaie sui hoi ngun hnopai kahawi kahawi na poe e na la teh, tongpa meikaphawk sak nahanelah na hno teh na kâyo.
Thou didst take also thy fair jewels of my gold and my silver, which I gave thee, and didst make to thyself images of men, and didst commit fornication with them;
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.
and thou didst take thy broidered garments and cover them; and thou didst set mine oil and mine 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.
My food also, which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst set it before them with a sweet savor; even thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah.
20 Hothloilah, na canu capa na khe pouh e hah ahnimouh koe thuengnae koung hno hanelah na poe, na kâyonae heh rumram nahoeh.
Moreover thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou didst bear to me, and these didst thou sacrifice to them to be devoured. Was it not enough for thee to commit fornication,
21 Ka canaw na thei teh, hmai hoi thueng hanelah ahnimouh koe na poe e naw hah,
that thou didst slay my children, and deliver them up to cause them to pass through the fire to them?
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 thine abominations and thy fornications, thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and in danger of being trampled under foot in thy blood.
23 Na hawihoehnae naw a hnukkhu hettelah doeh. Lungmathoe hanlah ao telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
And it came to pass, after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe to thee! saith the Lord Jehovah, )
24 Lamthung tangkuem meikaphawk bawknae hmuen na sak, nama na kâyo nahane im na sak.
that thou didst build for thee an arched place, and make thee a high place in every street;
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 every head of the way didst thou build thy high place, and didst make thy beauty to be abhorred, and didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and didst multiply thy fornications.
26 Izip tami na imri koevah, na kâyo teh, ka lungkhuek nahanelah na kâyonae na nut sak.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, having great members, and hast multiplied thy fornications 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, behold, I have stretched out my hand against thee, and have diminished thine allowance, and delivered thee to the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Assirianaw koehai na kâyo teh, a khout toe tie hai na panuek hoeh.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldst not be satisfied.
29 Kanaan ram Khaldeannaw koe vah na kâyonae bout na nut sak teh, na khout kalawn hoeh.
Thou hast also multiplied thy fornication with the land of Canaan, even to Chaldaea; and yet wast thou not satisfied therewith.
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 faint was thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, that thou didst all those things which an imperious whorish wife doeth,
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.
in that thou didst build thine arched place at the head of every way, and make thy high place in every street! Thou wast not like a harlot, who scoffeth at her hire,
32 Thoundoun alouke hoi ka ip e napui, vanaw hlak tami alouke ka ngaihnawn e napuinaw,
but as an adulterous wife, that taketh strangers instead of her 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.
To all women that commit fornication men give a reward; but thou gavest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hiredst them to come to thee from every side to commit fornication with thee.
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.
Thou wast the reverse of other women in thy fornications. None followed after thee to commit fornication, but thou gavest the reward, and no reward was given thee, —therefore thou wast the reverse.
35 Hatdawkvah Oe kâyawt e napui, BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw.
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah!
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,
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy treasure was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered for fornication before thy lovers, and all thine abominable idols, and because of the blood of thy children, which thou didst give 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, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, to whom thou wast pleasing, all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated, I will gather them against thee round about, and will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
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 judge thee as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged, and I will cause thy blood to flow in fury 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.
And I will give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine arched place, and break down thy high places. They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 Tami moikapap a kaw vaiteh, ahnimouh ni talung hoi na dei awh han. Tahloi hoi na bouk awh han.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through 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.
and they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt give hire no more.
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 will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee; and I will be quiet, and will be no more 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 thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah, so that thou shalt not commit this wickedness in addition to all thy 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 they that use proverbs shall utter this proverb concerning thee: “As the mother, so the 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.
Thou art the daughter of thy mother, that loathed her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, that loathed their husbands and their 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.
And thine elder sister is Samaria, with her daughters, that dwelleth at thy left hand; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom, with her daughters.
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.
Yet thou hast not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations: that was disdained by you, as a very little thing; thou hast been more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
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 I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom, thy sister, hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
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.
Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom, thy sister: in pride, superabundance, and careless ease did she live, she and her daughters, and the hand of the poor and needy she did not strengthen;
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.
and they were haughty, and committed abomination before me; therefore I took them away when I saw it.
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.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
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.
Now, therefore, bear thou thy shame, to which thou hast condemned thy sisters, since by thy sins which thou hast committed, more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou. Yea, be thou confounded and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 Hahoi, Sodom hoi a canu e hringnuen hoi ahnimouh hoi nangmae hringnuen hai ka thung han.
Yet I will bring them back from their captivity, even Sodom and her daughters from their captivity, and Samaria and her daughters from their captivity; thee also will I bring back from thy captivity in the midst of them;
54 Ahnimouh han roumnae lah ouk na onae dawkvah, na sak e hnopueng kecu dawk na kayayeirai lah na o thai nahan,
that thou mayst bear thy shame, and mayst be confounded on account of all which thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort to 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 thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Na hawihoehnae hmu hoehnahlan e, na bawilennae hnin dawkvah, na hmaunawngha Sodom teh a min kuekluek dei mahoeh namaw.
And yet Sodom, thy sister, was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride
57 Atuteh, Siria canu hoi atengpam e tami pueng Filistin canunaw nang teng e na ka panuikhainaw hoi puenghoi na kapathoenaw,
before thy wickedness was discovered, as in the time of thy reproach from the daughters of Syria, and from all that were round about her, and from the daughters of the Philistines, who despised thee round about.
58 na kâyonae hoi panuet na thonae hah pou na kampu telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
Thy wickedness and thine abominations must thou now bear, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will do to thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath and hast broken 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 my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.
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 shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger, and I shall give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy observance of thy covenant.
62 Nang koe ka lawkkam e ka cak sak vaiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han.
But I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah;
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.
that thou mayst remember and be confounded, and not open thy mouth any more for shame, when I forgive thee all which thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
