Ezekiel 2

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

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with 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 spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard Him that spoke unto 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 unto me: 'Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious nations, that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, even unto this very 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 the children are brazen-faced and stiff-hearted, I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD.

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.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among 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, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious 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 unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

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 what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house; open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.'

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

And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

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

and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and moaning, and woe.
