Ezekiel 4

1 Nang, tami capa amhru lat nateh na hmalah hrueng nateh, Jerusalem khopui meilam thun haw.

And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.

2 Petkâkalup lah rapan hoi kalup nateh, mon ka coum e hah pet tai nateh, ransa roenae hah tai sin nateh, rapan patennae thingtaboungnaw hah petkâkalup lah tat.

And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.

3 Sumphen lat nateh, nama hoi khopui rahak vah sumrapan lah thung haw. Haw lah kangvawi nateh, hottelah na tungdum vaiteh, haw e khopui teh kalup e lah ao han. Hetheh Isarelnaw hane mitnoutnae lah ao han.

And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.

4 Nang teh avoilah kâpaihrueng lahoi ip haw, na van vah Isarel imthung payonnae hah thueng nateh, a yonnae hah na phu han. Touk e hnin yit touh a van vah ip.

Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a payonae kum hah nange lathueng ka patue. Hnin touk e patetlah hnin 390 touh thung Isarel imthung yonnae na phu han.

For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.

6 Na kuep sak hnukkhu aranglah paihrueng lahoi yan nateh, Judah payonnae hah hnin 40 touh bout na khang han. Kum touh hane hnin touh na van vah ka patue toe.

And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.

7 Hatdawkvah, na kalup e Jerusalem koelah na kangvawi han. Na kut na dâw vaiteh, ahni koelah profet lawk na pâpho han.

And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.

8 Khenhaw! tangron hoi na pakhi vaiteh, na kalup hnin a kuep hoehroukrak teh, nâ lahai na kamlang thai mahoeh.

And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.

9 Cakang, catun, pe phunkuep, kalape, vaicakuem, rakhun e cakang hah lat, hlaam buet touh dawk hrueng nateh vaiyei lah sak. Paihrueng lah na i na thung hnin 390 touh thung hot hah na ca han.

And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.

10 Na ca hane bu teh koung nue e doeh. Hnin touh dawk shekel 20 touh han. Atueng kahmancalah na ca han.

And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times.

11 Tui hai koung nue tangcoung hoi na nei han. Hin buet touh hah taruk touh lah na kapek vaiteh, buet touh e hah na nei han.

And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.

12 A mithmu roeroe vah ka ke e tami ei hoi na pâeng vaiteh, catun vaiyei ca lah na ca han telah ati.

And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.

13 BAWIPA ni het patet lae bu kakhin e heh Isarel catounnaw ni ka pâleinae ram dawk a ca awh han telah ati.

And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.

14 Hatnavah kai ni aya! Bawipa Jehovah awm ei, ka hringnae heh kakhin sak boi mahoeh. Ka nawca hoi atu totouh amahmawk kadout e thoseh, sarang ni a kei e thoseh, ka cat boihoeh. Panuet ka tho e moi ka kâko dawk ka kâen sak hoeh telah ka ti.

Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.

15 Hat navah, ahni ni khenhaw! tami ei yueng lah maito ei na poe awh. Na ca hane teh maito ei ka ke e hoi na sak han telah ati.

Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.

16 Hothloilah ahni ni, tami capa khenhaw! Jerusalem vah hringnae akungtuen lah kaawm e bu ka raphoe vaiteh, a rawca koung nue pouh lahoi, ngaihri lahoi a ca han, tui hai koung nue pouh vaiteh, ngaihri lahoi a nei a han.

And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

17 Tui hoi bu vout laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpanuet awh teh, a yon awh kecu dawkvah, koung a kahma awh han telah ati.

So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.
