Ezekiel 3
1 Hothloilah, tami capa, na hmu e hah cat haw. Cakalawng hah cat nateh, Isarel imthung koe lawk dei loe, telah ati.
And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
2 Hottelah ka pahni ka ang teh, cakalawng hah ka ca.
And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
3 Ahni ni, tami capa na von dawk paen nateh, hete cakalawng na poe e heh na von dawk kawi naseh, telah ati. Hottelah ka ca teh, ka kâko dawk khoitui patetlah a radip.
And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4 Ahni ni kai koevah, tami capa Isarel imthung koe cet nateh, ahnimouh koe kaie ka lawk hah dei haw.
And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk phunlouk hoi thai ka ru e lawk koevah, patoun e nahoeh, Isarel miphunnaw koe na patoun e doeh.
For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6 Ka bawilen e miphun, a lawk ka hram niteh, a lawk hoi lawk thai panuek hoeh e koe na patoun hoeh, ahnimouh koe na patoun pawiteh, na lawk a ngai awh han.
and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7 Hatei Isarel imthung ni teh, nange na lawk ngai awh mahoeh. Kaie ka lawk hai ngai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel imthung pueng teh, tami lung ka patak e hoi dei han ka ru poung e lah ao.
Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8 Khenhaw! ahnimae minhmai katarankung lah nangmae minhmai, ahnimae tanpa katarankung lah nangmae tanpa hah ka te sak toe.
Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 Kate katang e talung hmaikhom patet lae kate e tampa hah na tawn sak teh, Taket hanh loe, taran ka thaw e imthung lah kaawm nakunghai a mithmainaw ni takinae na poe hanh naseh.
I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
10 Hothloilah kai koevah, tami capa nang koe ka dei hane pueng na hnâpakeng nateh, na lungthin dawk paen haw.
And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
11 cet nateh, na hmaunawngha san lah kaawm e koevah cet haw. A tarawi hai a tarawi hoeh hai hettelah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah pâpho nateh dei telah ati.
And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
12 Muitha ni kai hah na tawm teh, ka hnuklah kacaipounge khoparit lawk hah ka thai. Ama hmuen koehoi BAWIPA bawilennae teh pholen lah awm seh telah ati.
And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
13 Moithangnaw a rathei buet touh kâhmo e pawlawk hoi a tengpam e leng pawlawk hoi kacaipounge khoparit law hah ka thai.
and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
14 Hottelah Muitha ni na tawm teh, yout na la, kâan e, kakhat e, lungpuennae hoi na pâlei. Hatei Thakasai e BAWIPA kut hah ka lathueng vah ao.
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
15 Hottelah Telabib e san lah kaawm e Kebar palang dawk kho ka sak e naw koevah ka pha. A tahungnae koe ka tahung. Kângairu lahoi hawvah, hnin sari touh ka tahung.
And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
16 Hnin sari touh abaw hnukkhu vah hettelah doeh. BAWIPA e a lawk kai koe a pha.
Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Tami capa Isarel imthung kakhenkung lah na pouk e doeh. Hottelah ka lawk na thai vaiteh, kaie yueng lah kâhruetcuetnae na poe han.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
18 Tamikathout, na due roeroe han ka ti pouh teh, hote tamikathout e a hringnae rungngang hanelah, a yonnae lamthung a kamlang takhai hanelah kâhruetcuetnae na poe hoeh lah, na dei pouh hoeh pawiteh, hote tamikathout teh a payonnae dawk dout pawiteh, a thi phu teh nang koe na suk roeroe han.
If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
19 Hatei, tamikathout hah kâhruetcuetnae na poe teh, a thoenae cettakhai laipalah kahawihoehe lamthung dawk hoi kamlang hoehpawiteh, a payonnae dawk a due han, nang teh na hringnae na hlout han.
But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
20 Tamikalan ni a lannae a kamlang takhai teh, yonnae sak pawiteh, a hmalah tâlaw nahan ka tat pouh pawiteh, a due han. Kâhruetcuetnae na poe hoeh dawkvah yon dawk a due han. Lannae a sak tangcoung e hah panue pouh e lah awm mahoeh toe, a thi phu nang koe ka hei han.
Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
21 Hateiteh, tamikalan a yon hoeh nahan kâhruetcuetnae na poe teh, payon hoehpawiteh, kâhruetcuetnae na poe e hah a lawkpui lah a pouk dawkvah, a hring han. Nang hai na hlout toe telah ati.
But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
22 Hawvah BAWIPA e kut ka lathueng ao teh, kai koevah thaw nateh ayawn dawk cet loe. Hawvah kai ni na pato han telah ati. Hattoteh ka thaw teh ayawn koe ka cei.
And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 Khenhaw! hawvah, BAWIPA bawilennae Kebar palang ka hmu e bawilennae patetlah a kangdue teh, kai teh pakhup lah rep ka tabo.
And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
24 Hottelah hoi Muitha teh, kai dawk a kâen. Ka khok hoi na kangdue sak teh, na pato, cet nateh na im kangungh.
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
25 Nang tami capa tangron hoi na pakhi awh vaiteh na katek awh han.
And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
26 Na lai hah na adangka dawk kâbet sak vaiteh, lawk na tho mahoeh toe. Ahnimouh na yue mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarankathaw e imthung doeh.
And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
27 Hateiteh, nang koe lawk ka dei navah, na pahni na ang sak vaiteh, ahnimouh koe, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka tarawi e ni tarawi naseh, ka tarawi ngaihoeh e ni tarawi hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarankathaw e imthung doeh telah na dei han
But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
