Ezekiel 33
1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 tami capa, na miphun na catoun koe lawk dei haw. Ram dawk tahloi ka pha sak teh, ram dawk e taminaw ni amamouh thung dawk e tami buet touh a la awh teh, ramveng lah a hruek awh toteh,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman:
3 ram dawk tahloi a pha e a hmu toteh, mongka hah ueng laihoi taminaw hah kâhruetcuetnae poe pawiteh,
if, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 mongka ueng e pawlawk ka thai e pueng ni kâhruetcuet lai hoi awm laipalah, tahloi hoi a due nakunghai, a thipaling phu teh a ma ni a khang han.
then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Mongka lawk a thai nahlangva, kâhruetcuet poenae banglahai a noutna hoeh dawkvah, a thipaling phu teh a khang han. Hateiteh, a lawkpui lah hrueng pawiteh, a hringnae a rungngang han.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him: whereas if he had taken warning he should have delivered his soul.
6 Hateiteh, ramveng ni tahloi a pha e hah a hmu teh, mongka ueng hoeh lah, taminaw hah kâhruetcuetnae poe laipalah, ka phat e tahloi ni ahnimouh thung e tami buetbuet touh dout sak pawiteh, payonnae dawk a due han. A thipaling phu teh ramveng koe ka suk han telah dei pouh.
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
7 Hot patetlah nang tami capa, Isarel imthung hanelah, ramveng lah na rawi, hatdawkvah, ka pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lawk hah na thai teh, kai hanelah kâhruetcuetnae na poe awh han.
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
8 Tamikathout koe, Oe! tamikathout na due roeroe han, telah ka ti toteh, tamikathout teh a hringnuen kamlang khai hanelah, kâhruetcuetnae na poe hoeh, haw e tamikathout teh a yon dawk dout pawiteh, a thipaling phu teh nang koe na suk han.
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nahoeh pawiteh, tamikathout teh a hringnuen ceitakhai hanelah kâhruetcuetnae na poe ei, a hringnuen cettakhai hoeh boilah, a payonnae dawk a due han, nang teh na hringnae na rungngang lah ao han.
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Hatdawkvah, tami capa Isarel imthung koevah, hettelah dei haw, ka sak e yonnae hoi lawkeknae ni na ratet, hote hno kecu dawk ka rawknae lah awm pawiteh, bangtelamaw ka hring thai awh han, telah na ti awh.
And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them; how then should we live?
11 Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, kai ka hring e patetlah tamikathout teh, a duenae dawk ka lunghawinae ka tawn hoeh, tamikathout ni a hringnuen a ceitakhai e doeh kai ka lunghawinae lah ao.
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Kahawi hoeh e na hringnuen koehoi ban awh. Ban awh, Oe! Isarel imthungnaw bang dawk ne na due awh han, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa na taminaw koe dei haw. Tamikalan teh rawm pawiteh a lannae ni a rungngang thai mahoeh. Tamikathout ni thoenae hah roun pawiteh, ahmaloe e a thoenae kecu dawk rawknae koe phat mahoeh. Tamikalan teh a yonnae hnin dawk hring thai kalawn mahoeh.
And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness: neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.
13 Tamikalan koevah na hring roeroe han telah ka ti navah, a lannae kâuep hoi yonnae sak pawiteh, lannae a sak e hah buet touh hai panue pouh e lah awm mahoeh, yonnae a saknae dawkvah a due han.
When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he die.
14 Tamikayon koevah na due roeroe han, bout ka ti pouh teh, a yonnae kamlang takhai pawiteh, thoungnae hoi lannae a sak toteh,
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 Tamikayon na hung e hno hah a pâban teh, a paru e hah bout a poe, hringnae a phunglam hah a tarawi payonnae banghai sak hoehpawiteh, a hring roeroe han, dout mahoeh.
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 Yonnae a sak tangcoung e hah nâtuek hai pâkuem pouh mahoeh toe. Thoungnae hoi lannae a sak toung dawkvah, a hring roeroe han.
None of his sins that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Hateiteh, na taminaw ni BAWIPA hno sak e lan hoeh ati awh toteh, a sak awh e hah a lan hoeh dawk doeh.
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 Tamikalan ni a lannae kamlang takhai teh yonnae sak pawiteh, hote kecu dawk a due han.
When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die therein.
19 Tamikayon ni a yonnae a kamlang takhai teh, thoungnae hoi lannae sak pawiteh, hote lahoi a hring han.
And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Hateiteh, BAWIPA hnosaknae heh, lan hoeh telah na ti awh, Oe! Isarel imthungnaw, tami pueng amamae a hringnae patetlah lawkceng han telah a ti.
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 Kaimouh santoungnae kum hlaikahni, thapa yung hra, hnin panga hnin vah, Jerusalem hoi ka yawng e tami buet touh kai koe a tho teh, khopui teh tâ e lah ao toe telah a ti.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Hote ka yawng e a pha hoehnahlan tangminlah, BAWIPA ni kaie lathueng a kut a toung, amom lah kai koe a tho navah, ka pahni yo na ang sak toe. Hottelah ka pahni ka ang teh, lawk ka dei thai laipalah ka o.
Now the hand of the LORD had been upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 tami capa ka rawk e Isarel ram dawk kaawm rae ahnimouh ni Abraham teh buet touh dueng eiteh, ram teh a ring. Maimouh teh moipap awh teh ram râw lah na poe awh toe nahoehmaw, telah ati awh.
Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Moi hah a thi hoi na ca awh teh, meikaphawknaw koe na mit na um sak awh, tami na thei awh, nangmouh ni ram hah na coe awh han na maw.
Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes unto your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
26 Na tahloi na kâuep awh teh, panuettho e hno hah na sak awh. Na imri e yunaw na yonkhai awh, nangmouh ni ram hah na coe han na maw.
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?
27 Hettelah ahnimouh koe na dei pouh han, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Kai ka hring e patetlah ka rawk e ram dawk kaawm e hah tahloi hoi a due roeroe han, kahrawngum kaawm e hah, sarang ni a ca hanelah ka poe han. Kacake rapanim hoi talung kâko dawk kaawm e hah lacik patawnae hoi a due awh han.
Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the strong holds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 Ram pueng kingdi vaiteh, takikathopounge lah ka o sak han, a hnotithainae a kâoupnae hah a baw han toe. Isarel mon teh kingdi vaiteh, apinihai cet awm awh mahoeh toe.
And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Panuet ka tho e hno a sak awh kecu dawkvah, a ram teh ka raphoe vaiteh, takikathopounge lah ka o sak hnukkhu, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Hathnukkhu nang, tami capa, tapang teng e takhangnaw koe, na taminaw hoi pou na dei awh vaiteh, tami pueng ni a hmaunawngha koevah, tho awh haw, BAWIPA koe e lawk thai awh haw sei, telah ati awh han.
And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
31 Kaie tami patetlah nang koe a tho vaiteh, kaie ka tami patetlah na hmalah a tahung awh vaiteh, nange na lawk a thai nakunghai yah, tarawi awh mahoeh. Ngai ka tho poung e mitnoutnae hah a pahni hoi a kamnue sak nakunghai, a lungthin ni talai hno dueng hah a pouk awh han.
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but do them not: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their gain.
32 Khenhaw! nang teh ahnimae lah pahrennae la, kahawipoung lah sak e hoi kahawicalah kueng e lah na o han, na lawk a thai awh han, hatei tarawi awh mahoeh.
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
33 Hattoteh a pha han toe, khenhaw! a pha torei teh, ahnimouh koe profet ao tie hah ahnimouh ni a panue awh han telah, tet pouh telah a ti.
And when this cometh to pass, (behold, it cometh, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
