< Ezekiel 4 >

1 Nang, tami capa amhru lat nateh na hmalah hrueng nateh, Jerusalem khopui meilam thun haw.
You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city, 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 lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
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.
Moreover take you to you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house 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.
Lie you also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it you shall bear their iniquity.
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 laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house 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 you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
7 Hatdawkvah, na kalup e Jerusalem koelah na kangvawi han. Na kut na dâw vaiteh, ahni koelah profet lawk na pâpho han.
Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Khenhaw! tangron hoi na pakhi vaiteh, na kalup hnin a kuep hoehroukrak teh, nâ lahai na kamlang thai mahoeh.
And, behold, I will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.
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.
Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.
10 Na ca hane bu teh koung nue e doeh. Hnin touh dawk shekel 20 touh han. Atueng kahmancalah na ca han.
And your meat which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.
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.
You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.
12 A mithmu roeroe vah ka ke e tami ei hoi na pâeng vaiteh, catun vaiyei ca lah na ca han telah ati.
And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
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 thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive 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 said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh 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 dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.
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.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
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.
That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
