Ezekiel 20
1 A kum sarinae thapa yung panga, hnin hra navah, Isarel kacuenaw ni BAWIPA pacei awh hanelah a tho awh teh, ka hmalah a tahung awh.
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and they sat before me.
2 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
3 tami capa, Isarel kacuenaw hah dei pouh. Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Nangmanaw ni kai lawk na pacei hanelah na ka tho awh e na ou. Ka hring e patetlah nangmouh ni na pacei awh hanelah kaawm hoeh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei tet pouh.
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
4 Lawk na ceng mahoeh na maw, tami capa lawkceng haw, a napanaw panuetthonae hah panuek sak awh.
Wilt thou judge them, wilt thou judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
5 Hahoi ahni koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Isarelnaw ka rawinae hnin koehoi, Jakop imthung ka rawi e naw koevah, kut ka dâw totouh Izip ram dawk ahnimouh koe ka kâpanue sak. Ahnimouh koe ka kut hah ka dâw teh, kai heh BAWIPA na Cathut doeh telah ka ti pouh.
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I [am] Jehovah your God,
6 Hot hnin dawk Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai teh ahnimouh han ram ka hruek pouh e khotui hoi sanutui a lawngnae ram, ram pueng thung dawk ram kahawipoung e ram koe kâenkhai hanelah ka kut ka dâw na hnin dawkvah,
in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
7 ahnimouh koe tami pueng ni na mit hoi na hmu awh e hno panuettho e hah pahnawt awh nateh, Izip ram e meikaphawk hoi kâkhinsak hanh awh. Kai heh BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o telah ka dei.
and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] Jehovah your God.
8 Hateiteh kai hah na taran awh. Ka lawk ngai awh hoeh. Tami pueng e a mithmu vah hno panuettho e hai pahnawt awh laipalah hottelah hoi a lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae hah kamnue sak hanelah Izip ram thung roeroe vah, ka rabawk payon han na ou telah ka ti.
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 Hateiteh, a onae Jentelnaw e a mithmu vah, ka min a pathoe thai awh hoeh nahan, ka kâroe teh, Izip ram hoi ahnimouh tâcokhai hanelah ahnimae mithmu vah ka panue sak.
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Hatdawkvah, Izip ram tâco takhai hanelah, ka dei teh kahrawngum vah ka kâenkhai.
And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 Ka phung lam hah ka poe teh, ka lawkcengnae ka hmu sak, hot hah tami ni tarawi pawiteh hottelah hoi a hring awh han.
And I gave them my statutes, and made known unto them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
12 Hothloilah kai BAWIPA heh ahnimouh kathoungsakkung doeh tie a panue thai awh nahan, ka sabbath hai maimae rahak vah mitnout lah ka poe.
And I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] Jehovah that hallow them.
13 Hateiteh, Isarel imthungnaw teh kahrawng vah kai na taranlahoi taran a thaw awh. Ka phunglawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh. Ka lawkcengnae tarawi vaiteh hringnae lah kaawm hane hah a pahnawt awh. Kaie sabbath hai puenghoi a tapoe awh. Hottelah hoi kahrawngum vah ahnimouh he pahma hanelah ka lungkhueknae ka rabawk sin mahoeh na ou, telah a ka ti.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 Ka tâcokhai lahun nah, mit hoi kahmawtnaw e hmalah ka raphoe hoeh nahan, ka mit kâkaram lahoi ka kâroe.
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
15 Hottelah hoehpawiteh, kahrawngum vah ka poe e khoitui hoi sanutui a lawngnae, ram pueng hlak kahawipoung e ram dawk kâenkhai mahoeh telah ka kut ka dâw totouh ka ti.
And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
16 Ka lawkcengnae a pahnawt awh teh, ka phunglawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hah a tapoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungthin teh meikaphawk koelah pou a kamlang awh.
because they rejected mine ordinances and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17 Hateiteh, he pahma hoeh nahanelah, ka mit a pasai teh kahrawngum hai he ka raphoe hoeh.
But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18 Hatei, kahrawngum vah a catounnaw koe, na mintoenaw e phunglawknaw hah, tarawi awh hanh, a lawkcengnae hai pâkuem awh hanh, hoehpawiteh a meikaphawknaw hoi hai kamhnawng awh hanh.
And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19 Kai teh BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o, ka phunglawknaw tarawi awh nateh, ka lawkcengnae hah pâkuem awh nateh dawn awh.
I [am] Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;
20 BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o tie na panue thai awh nahanelah, kaie sabbath hah tarawi awh nateh, maimae rahak vah mitnoutnae lah ao han telah ka ti.
and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] Jehovah your God.
21 Hatei, a catounnaw taran a thaw awh teh, ka phunglawk tarawi laipalah, lawk ka dei e tami ni kâhruetcuet lahoi a sak teh, a hring nahanelah kaawm e hah tarawi hanelah pâkuem awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hai a tapoe awh. Kahrawngum vah kaie lungkhueknae kamnue sak hane lahoi ahnimae lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae hah ka rabawk sin payon han na ou, telah ka ti.
And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness.
22 Hatei, ka kut ka hno teh, ka tâcokhai lahun nah kahmawtkung miphunnaw mithmu vah, pâmit lah o hoeh nahan, ka min kecu dawk ka kâroe.
But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
23 Hothloilah miphunnaw koevah, ahnimouh kâkayei sak vaiteh, ram tangkuem dawk kâkayei sak han telah kahrawngum vah kut ka dâw totouh ka dei toe.
I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawkcengnae tarawi awh laipalah, ka phunglawknaw noutna awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hah a tapoe awh teh, a na mintoenaw e meikaphawk koelah a kangvawi awh.
because they performed not mine ordinances, and rejected my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
25 Hatdawkvah, a hring thai awh hoeh nahan lawkcengnae hoi phunglam kahawihoehe hah kai ni hai ka poe van.
And I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
26 A camin pueng hmai dawk thueng hanelah, phung lah a tawn awh e thuengnae kecu dawk ahnimouh phurinbenpaha lah ka o sak teh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue thai awh nahan, ahnimouh kakhin sak telah ati.
and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] Jehovah.
27 Hatdawkvah, tami capa, Isarel imthung koe lawk dei nateh, ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kai koe yuemkamcuhoeh lah a onae dawk hai na mintoenaw ni na dudam awh rah.
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me.
28 Ahnimouh poe hane ka kut ka dâw teh, thoe ka bo e ram hoi ka thokhai toteh, mon hoi thingbu ka rung poung a hmu awh nah tangkuem vah, thuengnae a poe awh teh, lungkhuek sak hanelah kaawm e hmaisawi thuengnae naw hah a poe awh. Hmuitui hai hote hmuen koe a thueng awh teh, nei thuengnae hai a awi awh.
When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings.
29 Kai ni ahnimouh koe ouk na ceinae hmuenrasang hah bang nama telah ka ti, hottelah hoi sahnin totouh bamah telah ati.
And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
30 Hatdawkvah Isarel imthung koevah dei haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni telah a dei, na mintoenaw patetlah mahoima kâkhinsak teh panuettho e lam koelah na kâyawt awh nahoehmaw.
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations?
31 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmu awh na thueng awh toteh, na canaw hmai dawk na phum awh teh, sahnin totouh na meikaphawknaw dawk na kâkhinsak awh hoeh na maw, hottelah nangmanaw ni pouknae na hei awh hanelah ao na maw. Oe Isarel imthungnaw kai ka hring e patetlah na pacei awh hanelah kai kaawm hoeh telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
32 Maimouh tengpam e Jentelnaw hoi Jentelnaw patetlah thing hoi talung bawk hanelah doeh telah na lungthin hoi na ti awh han eiteh, khoeroe coung thai mahoeh.
And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone.
33 Kai ka hring e patetlah thaonae kut hoi, kut dâw nah laihoi, lungkhueknae kamnue sak e lahoi, na uk awh han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I reign over you.
34 Miphunnaw thung hoi na tâcokhai han, na kâkayeinae ram thung hoi thaonae kut hoi kutdawnae hoi, lungkhueknae, ka rabawk vaiteh bout na pâkhueng han.
And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;
35 Kahrawngkadi kaawm e koevah, na kâenkhai awh vaiteh, haw vah ka mithmu lah lawk na ceng awh han.
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 Izip ram kingdinae koe na mintoenaw lawk ka ceng e patetlah nangmouh koehai ka sak han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
37 Sonron rahim vah na ceisak awh teh, lawkkamnae kateknae a rahim na ceikhai awh han.
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
38 Nangmouh thung hoi tarankathawnaw hoi kai taranlahoi kâeknae hah a onae ram koe hoi ka tâcokhai vaiteh, ka thoung sak han. Hateiteh, Isarel ram dawk kâen awh mahoeh. Hottelah BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
39 Nangmouh hai Oe Isarel imthungnaw, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka lawk na ngai awh hoeh nahane pawiteh, atuhoi hai namamae meikaphawk lengkaleng bawk awh yawkaw, hatei kathounge ka min heh na poehno awh e lahoi, meikaphawknaw hno e lahoi na khin sak awh mahoeh.
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols henceforth also, if none of you will hearken unto me; but profane my holy name no more with your gifts and with your idols.
40 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie mon kathoung, Isarel a rasangnae mon dawkvah, hawvah Isarel imthungnaw hoi ram thung e pueng, hote ram dawk kaie thaw a tawk awh han toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimae lathueng ka lung ahawi han. Hawvah, na poehno e hoi na thuengnae hoi na ya awh e hno pueng hah ka dâw han.
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
41 Miphunnaw thung hoi, na tâco sak awh toteh, ram tangkuem hoi na kâkayeinae thung hoi, bout na pâkhueng awh toteh, hmuitui patetlah na dâw awh han. Miphunnaw e a mithmu vah nangmouh koe ka thoungnae a kamnue han toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you in the sight of the nations.
42 Isarel ram na mintoenaw koe ka kut ka dâw teh, thoe ka bo e lahoi ka kam e thung vah na kâenkhai awh navah, BAWIPA lah ka o e hah na panue awh han.
And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand to give to your fathers.
43 Hawvah, na hringnuen hoi na tawk sak awh e na kâkhinsaknae pueng hah, na panue awh vaiteh, hawihoehnae na sak awh e pueng dawk, namamae na mithmu roeroe vah na kâpanuet awh han.
And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which ye have committed.
44 Oe Isarel imthungnaw nangmae na yonae naw, nangmouh na thoenae na tawksaknae, kai ni nangmouh lawk na ceng mahoeh. Ka min kecu dawk nangmae lathueng ka sak toteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie nangmouh ni na panue awh han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
45 Hothloilah, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
46 tami capa, akalah kangvawi haw, akalae taranlahoi dei haw, akalae ratu taranlahoi dei haw.
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
47 Akalae ram dawk kaawm e ratu koe patuen na dei pouh hane teh, BAWIPA e lawk thai haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! nang dawk hmai ka patawi vaiteh, na thung e thing kahring pueng hoi thingke pueng hai be a kak han, ka kang e hmai roum mahoeh, a ka lahoi atunglah totouh, kai na ka taran pueng hah be a kak awh han.
and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby.
48 Moithangnaw ni kai BAWIPA heh hmai katâcawtsakkung doeh tie hah a hmu awh vaiteh, hmai roum mahoeh ati, telah tet pouh telah ati.
And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Hottelah kai ni Aiyoe! Bawipa Jehovah, bangnue rumramnae doeh a dei na tet payon vaih telah ka ti.
And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
