Ezekiel 34
1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
The word of YHWH 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 against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, 'Thus says YHWH: "Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves. Shouldn't the shepherds feed the sheep?
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 eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.
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.
You haven't strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.
5 Kakhoumkung ao hoeh dawkvah, tunaw teh a kâkayei awh. A kâkayei toteh, sarangnaw e rawca lah ao awh.
They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field.
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 wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought."'
7 Hatdawkvah, tukhoumnaw BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
"'"Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of YHWH:
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,' says YHWH, 'surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn't feed my sheep';
9 Hatdawkvah, nangmouh tukhoumnaw BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of YHWH:
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 says YHWH: 'Look, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food 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 says YHWH: "Look, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
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 a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all 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.
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
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 with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on 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 myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says YHWH.
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 will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice."
17 Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e teh, Oe! ka tunaw, saring alouklouknaw thoseh, tutannaw hoi hmaetannaw thoseh, kai ni ka kapek han.
"'As for you, O my flock, thus says YHWH: "Look, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male 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.
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue 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.
As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet."
20 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni ahnimouh koe hettelah a dei, kathâw e saringnaw hoi kamsoe e saringnaw hah kai ni lawkceng han.
"'Therefore thus says YHWH to them: "Look, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
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 thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them 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.
therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
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.
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.
I, YHWH, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them;" I, YHWH, 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.
"'I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
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.
I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down 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.
The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am YHWH, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of 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.
They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
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.
I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.
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.
They shall know that I, YHWH, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people," says YHWH.
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.
"You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God," says YHWH.'"
