Ezekiel 24
1 A kum tako thapa yung hra hnin hra hnin BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth 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 for thee the name of the day — this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day —
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 use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water,
4 A thung vah moituen hrueng nateh, kahawi e moi a tak pueng hah a phai a loung a hru hah kahawicalah kingracet haw.
To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.
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.
The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.
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.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.
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 in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over 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.
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock — not to 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, yea, I — I make great the pile.
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.
Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.
11 Hmai patawi e van hlaam hah ahrawng lah khueng haw.
And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.
12 Hmawtcei totouh ka thawng nakunghai, moikapap lah sumei tâcawt mahoeh. Hmai ni hai kang thai hoeh.
[With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum.
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.
In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on 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, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
15 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.
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.
Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.'
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.
And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been 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 say unto me, 'Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?'
20 Hottelah kai ni ka pathung, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And I say unto them, 'A word of Jehovah hath been 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.
Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.
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 have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.
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 bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto 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.
And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in — ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
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, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song 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.
In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.
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 opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
