Ezekiel 21
1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 tami capa Jerusalem koe lah na minhmai hrueng haw, kathounge hmuen koe lah taranlahoi lawk hah dei haw. Isarel ram taranlahoi lawk hah pâpho haw.
'Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
3 Isarel ram koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! nang teh na taran, a tabu dawk e tahloi ka rayu vaiteh, nangmouh thung e tamikalan hoi tamikathout hoi ka pâmit han.
and say to the land of Israel: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh thung e tamikalan hoi tamikathout ka pâmit han. Hatdawkvah, atunglah hoi akalae moithang pueng taranlahoi kaie tahloi a tabu dawk hoi ka rayu vaiteh,
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall My sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;
5 Kai BAWIPA ni tahloi a tabu dawk hoi ka rayu tie moithang pueng ni a panue thai nahan, bout ka raseng mahoeh toe, telah ati.
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth My sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa hramki na teh lung ka rek lah ahnimae hmaitung vah pou hram haw.
Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
7 Bangkongmaw na cingou telah ati awh navah, nang ni kai teh kamthang lawk kecu dawk, ka cingou, a tho han a hnai toe, tamipueng ni puenghoi a taki awh teh a kut pueng a tha a youn awh han. A lung a pout awh vaiteh, a khokpakhunaw hai a tui lah kamyawt han. Hote hno teh a tho lahun tie a kong hah Bawipa Jehovah ni lawk a poe e a kuep sak han tie hah bout dei haw telah ati.
And it shall be, when they say unto thee: Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say: Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be slack, and every spirit shall be faint, and all knees shall drip with water; behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.'
8 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
9 tami capa lawk dei nateh, hettelah BAWIPA ni a dei tahloi, tahloi, kahranpoung e lah o teh loukloukkaang sak toe.
'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the LORD: Say: A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished:
10 Takithopoung e kâtheinae o sak hanelah, hransak e lah ao teh, sumpapalik e patetlah a ang hanelah, ka ta e doeh. Nawmnae sak awh han rah na ou. Thingnaw pueng ni banglahai na noutna hoeh e patetlah ka capa e sonron ni na dudam.
It is sharpened that it may make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter — or shall we make mirth? — against the rod of My son, contemning every tree.
11 Hno thai nahanelah hran sak hanelah a poe toe. Hete tahloi heh kathetkung hane kut dawk poe hanelah hransaknae hoi loukloukkaang sak toe.
And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled; the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 Tami capa kap nateh hram haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw hah taran e lah ao vaiteh, Isarel bawinaw pueng taran e lah ao han. Taki ka tho e tahloi hoi ka taminaw hah taran e lah ao. Hatdawkvah, na phai hah ratum.
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh tanouknae doeh. Tahloi ni sonron patenghai dudam pawiteh, bangtelah han ne. Sonron hah awm mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
For there is a trial; and what if it contemn even the rod? It shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
14 Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa lawk pâpho haw, na kut hah tambei haw, due thainae tahloi hah vai thum touh palik. Theinae tahloi ni amamae rakhan tangkuem ouk ka kâen e, tami a tha ka sai e hah a kalup awh.
Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of those to be slain; it is the sword of the great one that is to be slain, which compasseth them about.
15 Lungthin karawknaw, a rawknae hoe apap nahanelah, kahran e tahloi takhang tangkuem koevah, ka hruek toe. Aiyoe! sumpapalik e patetlah a ang, duenae tahloi.
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied; ah! it is made glittering, it is sharpened for slaughter.
16 Aranglah kamlang nateh bouk nateh kâroesak. Avoilah kamlang nateh kâroesak haw, hahoi hmalah hoiyah bouk haw.
Go thee one way to the right, or direct thyself to the left; whither is thy face set?
17 Kai ni hai ka kut ka tambei vaiteh, ka kuep sak mingming han. Ka lungkhueknae kai BAWIPA ni hetheh ka dei toe ati tet pouh telah ati.
I will also smite My hands together, and I will satisfy My fury; I the LORD have spoken it.'
18 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
19 tami capa Babilon siangpahrang tahloi a cei nahanelah, lamthung kahni touh sak. Hote lamthung kahni touh e teh, ram buet touh koehoi a tâco han. Lam a kâphinae dawk hmuen buet touh rawi nateh, khopui koelah ceinae longkha lah sak haw.
'Now, thou son of man, make thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land; and mark a signpost, mark it clear at the head of the way to the city.
20 Lamthung hah Ammonnaw kho Rabah hoi tahloi a tâco thai nahan sak nateh, Judah ram a lungui e Jerusalem kalupnae hai sak haw.
Thou shalt make a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, cungpam rayu hanelah Babilon siangpahrang teh lamthung kahni touh a kâcunae koe a kangdue, palanaw mak a kalawt teh, Terah meikaphawk lawk a pacei, a thin hah a khet.
For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shaketh the arrows to and fro, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
22 Cungpam a rayunae koe a rang lae kut dawk Jerusalem hah a kamnue. Rapan raphoenae hoi tarantuknae hramkinae a pawlawk takhang koe tumdum e rapan raphoe nahane monrui paten hane hoi tungdumnae sak hane hoi,
In his right hand is the lot Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
23 ahnimouh hoi lawkkamnae kasakkungnaw e hmaitung vah, kalanhoehe cungpam rayunae patetlah ao. Hateiteh la e lah ao thai nahan, a payonnae a pahnim hoeh nahan a thokhai han.
And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have weeks upon weeks! but it bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
24 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, na payonnae hah pahnim hoeh nahanelah na sak kecu dawk, kâlawk na eknae a kamnue. Hottelah na sak awh e hnonaw pueng dawk na yonnae pou a kamnue teh, pahnim hoeh e lah na o dawkvah, kut dawk man e lah na o awh han.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that your sins do appear in all your doings; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 Hahoi nang Isarel kahrawikung, ka kamhnawng e, na yonnae rektapnae hnin roeroe a pha toe.
And thou, O wicked one, that art to be slain, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
26 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kahrawikung e lupawk teh tâkhawng pouh nateh, bawilukhung hai tâkhawng pouh. Hethateh, ama boiboe lah mahoeh, kârahnoumnaw hah tawmrasang awh nateh, tawmrasang e hah kârahnoum sak awh.
thus saith the Lord GOD: The mitre shall be removed, and the crown taken off; this shall be no more the same: that which is low shall be exalted, and that which is high abased.
27 Bungling lah ka bang han, bungling lah ka bang han, bungling lah ka bang han. Katawnkung a tho hoehroukrak hot teh awm mahoeh, hothateh ama koevah ka poe han telah ati.
A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, will I make it; this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him.
28 Hahoi nang tami capa, lawk dei haw. Hettelah dei, Bawipa Jehovah ni Ammon miphun kong hoi a pathoenae kong dawk, hettelah a dei. Tahloi tahloi rayu e lah ao toe. Tami theinae hoi kahmasaknae dawkvah sumpapalik e patetlah a ang sak toe.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their taunt; and say thou: O sword, O sword keen-edged, furbished for the slaughter, to the uttermost, because of the glitterings;
29 Kamnuenae kaphawk na hmu sak teh tahloi teh tamikayon due hanelah, a hmâ ka cat e, a yonnae hnin a poutnae a pha hane, a lahuennaw dawk na cuek han ati navah laithoe doeh a dei awh.
While they see falsehood unto thee, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are to be slain, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end!
30 Na tahloi hah a tabu dawk pâseng, nang na tâconae hmuen, na khenae roeroe koevah, nange na kong lawk ka ceng han.
Cause it to return into its sheath! — In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thine origin, will I judge thee.
31 Ka ngaihoehnae hah na lathueng vah ka awi vaiteh, ka lungkhueknae hmai lah na lathueng vah ka patawi han, tami a nuen ka mathout raphoe kathoumpoung e kut dawk na raphoe han.
And I will pour out My indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of My wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
32 Hmai lah patawi hanelah na o vaiteh, ram lungui vaihma thi hah a lawng han. Pou panue e lah na awm mahoeh toe, bangkongtetpawiteh, kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe tet pouh telah ati.
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be no more remembered; for I the LORD have spoken it.'
