< Ezekiel 34 >
1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 tami capa Isarel tukhoumnaw taranlahoi pâpho haw. Pâpho nateh, ahnimouh tukhoumnaw koe hettelah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, Isarel tukhoumnaw, mahoima dueng kâkawknaw teh lungmathoe hanlah a o, tukhoumnaw ni tu hah a kawk awh mahoeh na maw.
Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the hocks be fed by the shepherds?
3 Nangmouh ni a thaw hah na ca awh teh, a muen hah na kâkhu awh. Kathâw kathâw e na thei awh, hatei, tunaw teh na kawk awh hoeh toe.
You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed.
4 A thayoun e tha na poe awh hoeh, kapatawnaw na dam sak awh hoeh, a khok kâkhoenaw na kawm pouh awh hoeh. Pâlei e naw bout na bankhai awh hoeh. Kahmat e hai na tawng awh hoeh. Thama thama lahoi lawkkahram lah na hram sin awh.
The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.
5 Kakhoumkung ao hoeh dawkvah, tunaw teh a kâkayei awh. A kâkayei toteh, sarangnaw e rawca lah ao awh.
And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
6 Kaie tunaw teh mon tangkuem koe a kâva awh, kaie tu hah talai pueng koe a kâkayei teh khopouk pouh kung hoi katawngkung awm hoeh, telah dei haw telah a ti.
My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks mere scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.
7 Hatdawkvah, tukhoumnaw BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
8 Kai ka hring e patetlah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Tukhoumnaw awm hoeh. Tukhoumnaw ni kaie tunaw hah a tawng awh hoeh dawkvah, kaie tunaw kahrawng e sarangnaw e rawca lah ao awh teh, kaie tunaw hah sarang ni kei hanelah ao awh. Tukhoumnaw ni amahoima a kâkawk awh teh, kaie tuhu hah kawkhik awh hoeh.
As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:
9 Hatdawkvah, nangmouh tukhoumnaw BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:
10 Hettelah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Khenhaw! tukhoumnaw ka taran, a kut thung e tunaw hah ka lawp vaiteh kaie tukhoumnae koehoi kâhat sak han. Tukhoumnaw teh amahoima kâkawk awh mahoeh toe, bangkongtetpawiteh, tuhunaw hah a râwca lah ao hoeh nahanelah a pahni dawk hoi ka tunaw hah ka la pouh han toe, telah a ti.
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my hock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! kai kama roeroe ni ka tunaw hah ka tawng vaiteh ka hmu han.
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.
12 Tukhoumkung ni tuhu kâkayei e tunaw a tawng e patetlah ka tunaw hah ka tawng han, tâmai hoi hmonae hmuen koe pueng hai ka tawng han.
As the shepherd visiteth his hock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 Ram tangkuem koehoi ka la vaiteh ka pâkhueng han, amamae ram roeroe dawk ka ceikhai han. Isarel ram thung hoi tanghling, khosaknae hmuen pueng koevah ka kawk han.
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.
14 Ramhringnae koe ka pâ sak vaiteh, a im hah Isarel mon rasangnae koe ao han, kahawi e takha dawkvah a tabo awh vaiteh, Isarel mon dawk hrâmnaw a onae koe a pâ awh han.
I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.
15 Kai kama roeroe ni ka tunaw hah ka kawkhik han, karoumcalah ka tabo sak han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.
16 Kahmat e ka tawng vaiteh, pâlei e bout ka bankhai han. A khok kâkhoe hah ka kawm pouh vaiteh, a patawnae hah kahawi sak han. Hateiteh, kathâw e hoi a thasai e hah ka thei vaiteh, lawkcengnae koe ka pha sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment.
17 Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Oe! ka tunaw, saring alouklouknaw thoseh, tutannaw hoi hmaetannaw thoseh, kai ni ka kapek han.
And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.
18 Nangmouh teh kahawie hram kanaw e hmuen koe na ca awh e dueng laipalah, kacawie tui hah na khok hoi na pânut sak hane teh, kathoengcae hno doeh, telah na pouk awh na maw.
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the dearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.
19 Nangmouh ni na coungroe e phokungnaw thoseh, na khok hoi na pânut sak e tui hai thoseh, kaie tunaw ni a canei awh han na maw.
And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.
20 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni ahnimouh koe hettelah a dei, kathâw e saringnaw hoi kamsoe e saringnaw hah kai ni lawkceng han.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.
21 Nangmouh ni a thakayoune tunaw hah hmuen tangkuem koe kâkayei sak hanelah na loung hoi na en awh teh, na ki hoi na deng awh.
Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:
22 Hatdawkvah, ka tunaw ka rungngang vaiteh, ahnimouh teh sarang ni a kei rumram e lah awm mahoeh toe. Tunaw e a rahak vah lawk ka ceng han.
I will save my dock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 Tukhoumkung buet touh ka rawi pouh vaiteh, ahni ni a kawk han. Kaie ka san Devit ni ahnimouh a kawk vaiteh, ama teh kakhoumkung lah ao vaiteh a kawkhik han.
AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 Kai BAWIPA teh ahnimae Cathut lah ka o vaiteh, ka thaw katawkkung Devit teh ahnimae lathueng kahrawikung lah ao han, kai BAWIPA roeroe ni yo ka dei toe.
And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.
25 Hahoi, ahnimouh hoi roumnae lawkkamnae hah ka sak vaiteh, sarang kathout hah ram thung hoi ka baw sak han, kahrawngum vah karoumcalah kho a sak vaiteh, ratu thungvah karoumcalah a i awh han.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.
26 Ahnimouh thoseh kaie mon petkâkalup lah kaawm e hai thoseh, yawhawi ka poe vaiteh, amae atueng dawk kho ka rak sak vaiteh, yawhawinae khotui a rak han.
And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.
27 Ram thung e thingnaw ni a pawra han, talai ni hai apaw a tâco sak han, khocanaw ni karoumcalah ao awh han, ahnimouh ni a phu awh e kahnam rui ka a pouh vaiteh, thama thama lah ka rek e ahnimae kut dawk hoi ka tâco sak toteh, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.
28 Jentelnaw ni bout lawm awh mahoeh toe, ram dawk e sarang ni hai kei awh mahoeh toe. Apihai takinae poe mahoeh toe, ahnimouh teh karoumcalah ao awh han toe.
And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.
29 A min kamthang e takha hai ahnimouh hanelah kai ni ka sak pouh han, a ram dawk takangnae, kahai lah onae bout awm mahoeh toe. Jentelnaw e dudamnae khang awh mahoeh toe.
And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.
30 Ahnimae Bawipa Jehovah teh ahnimouh hoi rei o e thoseh, Isarel imthungnaw hai ka tami lah ao e hai thoseh, a panue awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.
31 Nangmouh ka tuhu hoi saring pânae hmuen dawk e ka tuhu hah ka tami na o awh. Kai hai nangmae Cathut ka ka o, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah a ti.
And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.
