Ezekiel 2

1 Hahoi, kai koe vah, tami capa na khok hoi kangdout nateh, nang koe lawk ka dei han telah ati.

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

2 Kai koe lawk a dei lahun nah, Muitha ka thung vah a kâen. Ka khok hoi na kangdue sak teh kai koe lawk a dei e ka thai.

And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.

3 Kai koe vah tami capa nang teh taran na ka thaw e Isarel miphun, taran ka thaw e miphun, kai na ka hmuhma e miphun koe na patoun han. Amamouh hoi a na mintoenaw ni sahnin ditouh hawihoehnae lahoi kai na taran.

And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.

4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimanaw teh a lung ka patak e hoi dei ka ru poung e lah ao awh. Ahnimouh koe na patoun teh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei telah na ti han.

And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.

5 Ahnimouh ni a tarawi hai thoseh, a tarawi hoeh hai thoseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw e imthung lah ao awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh koe profet ao tie a panue awh han.

Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.

6 Nang tami capa, ahnimouh taket hanh. A lawknaw ni hai takinae na poe hanh naseh. Nang koe vah pâkhing a phun phun hoi kâhmo nakunghai, aikamnaw koe kho na ka sak nakunghai, taran ka thaw e lah na kaawm awh nakunghai, ahnimae lawk taket awh hanh. A meilamnaw ni na taket sak awh hanh naseh.

And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.

7 A tarawi hai a tarawi hoeh nakunghai thoseh, ahnimouh koe kaie ka lawk na dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw awh e doeh.

And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.

8 Hatei, nang tami capa nang koe ka dei lawk ngai haw. Taran ka thaw e imthung patetlah taran thaw van awh hanh. Na pahni ang nateh kai ni na poe e hah cat loe telah atipouh.

And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

9 Ka khet torei teh, a kut hoi na kâyap teh, khenhaw! a kut dawk cakalawng teh ao.

And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.

10 Ka hmalah a rathap teh, athung, avanlah hoi thut e doeh. Khuinae, khopoukrunae, yawthoenae naw hah a kâthut.

And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
