Ezekiel 32

1 Kum hlaikahni, thapa yung hlaikahni, hnin pasueknae dawk BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 tami capa Izip siangpahrang Faro khuinae kalungla hah phueng haw, ahni koe, miphunnaw dawk hoi sendektanca patetlah kaawm e, talî dawk kaawm e, tangapui, khorui patetlah hai na o teh, tuipuinaw na raka teh na khok hoi tui na kâhuet sak. Tuipui na pânut sak.

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.

3 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Tamlawk hoi na man han, tami moikapap hoi ka tamlawk hoi na man roeroe han.

But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.

4 Mon dawkvah na cei takhai vaiteh, kahrawngum vah na tâkhawng han, na van vah kalvan e tava pueng kamcout sak han. Talai dawk e sahringnaw king ka boum lah ka paca han.

They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.

5 Nange na moinaw hah monnaw dawk ka dan han. Ayawnnaw hah nange ro hoi ka kawi sak han.

I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.

6 Ka lawng e na thipaling hoi, ram hah monsom totouh ka pâsu han, palangnaw nange na thi hoi kingkawi han.

I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

7 Na angnae hah ka padue toteh, kalvan ka ramuk vaiteh, âsi ka mom sak han. Kanî teh tâmai hoi be ka ngue vaiteh, thapa ni a angnae hah poe mahoeh toe.

When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.

8 Nange lathueng kalvan angnae pueng kâhmo sak han, na ram dawk hmonae hoi muen ka ramuk han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, telah tet pouh.

I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.

9 Na panue hoeh e miphunnaw dawk e na rawknae ka pha sak toteh, tami moikapap e lungthin hah pouknae panuek laipalah ka o sak han.

And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.

10 Tami moikapap hah nange kong dawk kângairu lahoi, ka o sak han, a hmalah tahloi ka dâw toteh, nang kecu dawk ahnimae siangpahrang hai, a lungpuen vaiteh, na rawp hnin torei teh, tami pueng ni hringnae sung hanelah a ngaihri kecu dawk a pâyaw awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.

I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Babilon siangpahrang tahloi hah na lathueng vah a pha han.

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.

12 Athakaawme tahloi hoi na taminaw ka rawp sak han. Miphunnaw thung dawk takikathopounge lah ao awh. A raphoe awh vaiteh, Izipnaw bawilennae hoi a tamihu pueng hah be a kahma awh han.

I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.

13 Moikapap e tui teng e saring hah ka raphoe han. Tami e a khok hoi saring e a khok ni tui bout pânut sak mahoeh toe.

I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.

14 Ahnimae tui hah ka pâcim sak vaiteh, palang tui hah satui patetlah ka lawng sak han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.

Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.

15 Izip ram dawk hno kaawm e pueng be baw sak nahanelah kingdi sak han, be ka raphoe vaiteh, khoca pueng ka rek toteh, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh roeroe hah.

When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’

16 Hethateh, Izip ram hanelah sak han e kawi khuinae kalungla doeh. Miphun tangkuem e a canunaw ni a khuinae kalung lah ao vaiteh, Izip ram hoi khocanaw pueng han a khui awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.

That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”

17 Kum hlaikahni, thapa yung pasuek, hnin hlaipanga hnin BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha teh,

On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

18 tami capa Izip tamihu hah puenghoi khui haw, ama hoi a min kamthang e, miphun canu tangkom dawk kakumnaw koevah, adungpoungnae dawk bawt awh naseh.

“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.

19 Nang teh ayâ alouke hlak na meihawi maw, vuensom ka a hoeh e taminaw hoi rei ip lawih.

Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.

20 Talai hoi thei tangcoung e naw koevah, a rawp awh han, tahloi koe poe e lah ao toe, ama hoi a tami pueng hah he sawn lawih.

[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.

21 Athakaawme ni sheol thung hoi ahni hoi ahni kabawmkungnaw hah a pato awh han, tahloi hoi thei e vuensoma hoeh e naw a kum awh teh pou a yan awh. (Sheol h7585)

In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)

22 Hote hmuen dawk Assiria hoi a taminaw ao awh, a phuennaw ni a ma hah a kalup awh, abuemlahoi tahloi hoi a thei teh, kadoutnaw doeh.

[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

23 Tangkom teh kadungpoung e a khu dawkvah ao teh, petkâkalup lah a taminaw hah ao. Abuemlahoi tahloi hoi thei e karawmnaw ka hring ram dawk takinae kaawmsakkungnaw doeh.

The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.

24 Hote hmuen dawk Elam hoi tangkom petkâkalup lah, a taminaw ao awh teh, abuemlahoi tahloi hoi thei e teh karawmnaw, vuensoma laipalah talai rahim ka kum e, kahring e ram dawk takinae kaawmsakkung, yeiraiponae tangkom thung kakumkhaikungnaw doeh.

A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.

25 Thei e naw thung dawk ama hoi a taminaw inae a sak pouh teh, phuen hah ama petkâkalup lah ao. Abuemlahoi vuensom ka a hoeh e, tahloi hoi thei e naw doeh. Lungpuennae teh, ka hring e ram dawkvah, lungpuennae hah doeh. Hatei, tangkom thung kakumnaw hoi yerai a po awh teh thei e naw koe ao sak.

They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.

26 Hawvah, Meshek hoi Tubal naw hai ao awh. Phuennaw teh petkâkalup lah ao teh, abuemlahoi vuensoma hoeh, tahloi hoi thei e naw doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hringnae ni ka hring e ram dawk lungpuen hah ouk a tho sak awh.

[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.

27 Vuensom a hoeh e tami athakaawme ka rawm e, tarantuknae puengcang hoi sheol dawk ka kum e, tahloi hah a lû rahim a hruek teh, a hrunaw dawk amamae yon ao, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh ka hring e ram dawk e tami thasai, lungpuennae kaawmsakkungnaw doeh. (Sheol h7585)

They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)

28 Vuensom ka a hoeh e koevah, na rek vaiteh, tahloi hoi kadoutnaw koe na i han.

You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.

29 Hawvah, Edom siangpahrangnaw hoi a bawi pueng, a thasai awh eiteh, tahloi hoi a thei e naw koevah a yan sak awh. Vuensom ka a hoeh e tangkom thung vah, kakumnaw koe a yan awh.

People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.

30 Hawvah, a tung lae bawi pueng, Sidonnaw a thei awh e thung dawk ka kum e ao awh. A thasainae ni tami koe lungpuennae a tho sak eiteh, a kaya awh. Vuensom a laipalah, tahloi hoi a thei e naw koevah, a yan awh teh, tangkom thung kakumnaw hoi yeirai a po awh.

All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.

31 Faro ni a hmu vaiteh, a tamihu pueng a lungmawngsaknae dawk a hno awh han. Faro hoi a ransahu pueng tahloi hoi a thei e hai telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.

The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

32 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hring e ram dawk lungpuennae hah ka o sak teh, vuensom ka a hoeh e tahloi hoi a thei e naw koevah, Faro hoi a tamihunaw a yan awh han.

While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
