< Ezekiel 24 >
1 A kum tako thapa yung hra hnin hra hnin BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, saying:
2 tami capa hete hnin sahnin e hnin hah thun haw, hete hnin roeroe dawkvah, Babilon siangpahrang ni Jerusalem tuk hanelah a kamtawng.
'Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this selfsame day; this selfsame day the king of Babylon hath invested Jerusalem.
3 Taran kathâw e imthung koevah, bangnuenae lawk dei haw. Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Hlaam hah khueng haw, hmai patawi sin nateh, a thung vah tui hai hlun haw.
And utter a parable concerning the rebellious house, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
4 A thung vah moituen hrueng nateh, kahawi e moi a tak pueng hah a phai a loung a hru hah kahawicalah kingracet haw.
Gather into it the pieces belonging to it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Saringnaw thung dawk e kahawipoung e hah lat nateh, a rahim vah thing kapappoung rahawng, moi hah hlakhlak tangdawk naseh, a hrunaw hah dik hmin naseh.
Take the choice of the flock, and pile also the bones under it; make it boil well, that the bones thereof may also be seethed in the midst of it.
6 Hatdawkvah Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Tami ka thet e khopui, ka tangdawk e moi hlaam ka ekko ni teh kaawm rae hlaam teh a yawthoe. Moituen buet touh hnukkhu buet touh rasat haw.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose filth is therein, and whose filth is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a palawng e thi hah amae thung ao teh, lungsong van a hruek. Vaiphu hoi ramuk hanelah talai dawkvah a rabawk hoeh.
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 Moipathung hanelah lungkhueknae a tâco thai nahane lahoi ramuk e lah ao hoeh nahan, thipaling e hah lungsong dawk ka awi toe.
that it might cause fury to come up, that vengeance might be taken, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Thi ka palawng e khopui teh a yaw a thoe, kai ni hai moikapap lah thing ka rahawng sin han.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great,
10 Hmai sut patawi sin awh nateh, thing moikapap lah rahawng sin awh. Moi hah dik kahmincalah thawng awh, a moi hah katuipoung lah a hru pueng hai he kang naseh.
heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, that the flesh may be consumed; and preparing the mixture, that the bones also may be burned;
11 Hmai patawi e van hlaam hah ahrawng lah khueng haw.
then will I set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the bottom thereof may burn, and that the impurity of it may be molten in it, that the filth of it may be consumed.
12 Hmawtcei totouh ka thawng nakunghai, moikapap lah sumei tâcawt mahoeh. Hmai ni hai kang thai hoeh.
It hath wearied itself with toil; yet its great filth goeth not forth out of it, yea, its noisome filth.
13 Na kamhnawngnae teh na cuknae lah ao teh, na pâsu ei, na thoung kalawn hoeh dawkvah, na lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae pueng a pha hoehroukrak teh, nâtuek haiyah na kamhnawngnae koehoi thoung sak e lah na awm mahoeh toe.
Because of thy filthy lewdness, because I have purged thee and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have satisfied My fury upon thee.
14 Kai BAWIPA ni yo ka dei toe. Ka phat roeroe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai kama ni ka sak han, hnuklah kâhnawn mahoeh. Ka pasai mahoeh, pankângai mahoeh, na hringnuen hoi na tawksak e hoi kamcu lah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah tet pouh telah ati.
I the LORD have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.'
15 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
16 tami capa khenhaw! vaitalahoi na mitkhet khuektinae hah na takhoe pouh han. Na kângaikâthung mahoeh. na kap hai na kap mahoeh. Na mitphi hai bawt mahoeh.
'Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet neither shalt thou make lamentation nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
17 Arulahoi cingou haw. Tamikadout hanelah khui hanh. Luhuem huem nateh, khokkhawm hah khawm haw. Na pahni huem hanh, ka roedengnaw e bu hai cat hanh telah ati.
Sigh in silence; make no mourning for the dead, bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thine upper lip, and eat not the bread of men.'
18 Hottelah amom lah tamimaya koe lawk ka dei teh, tangmin lah ka yu teh a due, amom lah kâ na poe e patetlah ka sak.
So I spoke unto the people in the morning, and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Tami ni hettelah a sak e heh kaimouh hanelah, bang a ngainae ne, na dei pouh mahoeh maw telah ati.
And the people said unto me: 'Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?'
20 Hottelah kai ni ka pathung, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Then I said unto them: 'The word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
21 Isarel imthung koevah dei pouh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Thai haw, kaie hmuen kathoung, nangmae na thaonae na kâoupnae nangmouh ni na khet han na ngai awh e, na kâoup e kai ni kakhin sak vaiteh, na canaw hoi hnukkhu lah na cei takhai awh e hah tahloi hoi a due awh han.
Speak unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the longing of your soul; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 Kai ni ka sak e patetlah na sak awh van han. Na pahni na huem awh mahoeh. Ka roedengnaw e rawca na cat mahoeh.
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your upper lips, nor eat the bread of men;
23 Luhuem na lû dawk na huem awh vaiteh, khokkhawm hai na khawm awh han. Khuikanae awm mahoeh. Namamae na yonnae dawk na kahmakata awh vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh na kâkhuikhai awh han.
and your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet; ye shall not make lamentation nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
24 Het patetlah Ezekiel hah nama hanelah khetsin hanelah awm vaiteh, a sak e patetlah na sak awh van han, heteheh a pha toteh, Bawipa Jehovah lah ka o tie na panue awh han telah ati telah ka ti.
Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do; when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord GOD.
25 Hahoi nang tami capa, ahnimae rapanim, konawmnae, bawilennae, mitnoenae, lungradueknae thoseh, na canaw hah kai ni ka pâmit torei teh,
And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the yearning of their soul, their sons and their daughters,
26 hote hnin roeroe navah, ka yawng e hah nang koe tho vaiteh, hothah na thai sak han.
that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
27 Hot hnin torei teh, ka yawng e hoi a kâhmo vaiteh, na pahni na ang han, lawk na dei vaiteh, duem na awm mahoeh toe, hottelah ahnimouh hane mitnoutnae lah ao vaiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han telah ati.
In that day shall thy mouth be opened together with him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
