< Ezekiel 5 >

1 Nang tami capa, pataca hruepatue e hah tahloi yueng lah lat haw, na lû hoi pâkhamuen hah ngaw haw. Yawcu dawk khing nateh, alouklouk lah kapek haw.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword. As a barber's razor thou shall take it to thee, and shall cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard. Then take thee balances to weigh and divide the hair.
2 Khopui kalupnae tueng a kuep navah, sam hoi pâkhamuen, pung thum touh dawk pung touh hah khopui thung hmaisawi nateh, pung touh e hah tahloi hoi tâtueng haw, pung touh e hah kahlî thonae koe paleng sak. Kai ni tahloi hoi ka pâlei han.
A third part thou shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are fulfilled, and thou shall take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it, and a third part thou shall scatter to the wind. And I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Youn touh na la vaiteh, na angki pawi dawk na taoung han.
And thou shall take from it a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Hote youn touh bout na lat nateh hmai sawi haw. Haw hoi teh Isarel imthung hoi hmai a tâco han.
And of these again thou shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Hetheh Jerusalem kho doeh, miphunnaw umsali ka hrek teh a tengpam vah ramnaw hah ao.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
6 Miphunnaw hlak hawihoehnae a sak teh, ka lawkcengnae a taran teh, a tengpam e ramnaw hlak ka phunglam hah hoe a taran. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawkcengnae hah a oun awh teh, ka phunglam tarawi awh hoeh.
And she has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her, for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Na tengpam e miphunnaw hlak lawkeknae hah hoe na pung sak teh ka phunglam tarawi awh laipalah ka lawkcengnae hah na pâkuem awh hoeh.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because ye are more disorderly than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor have kept my ordinances, no, ye have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you,
8 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! kai kama roeroe ni na taran awh vaiteh, miphunnaw e mithmu roeroe vah ka lawkcengnae ka kuep sak han.
therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Panuet na thonae kecu dawk, ka sak boihoeh e hoi sak lah hai bout ka sak hoeh hane hah nangmouh koe ka sak han.
And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and of which I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 Hatdawkvah, nangmouh koe lawkcengnae ka kuep sak vaiteh, a na pa ni a canaw a ca awh han, a ca ni hai a napanaw a ca awh han. Nang koe ka cawi rae naw hah koung ka kâkahei sak han.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments on thee, and I will scatter to all the winds the whole remnant of thee.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e hateh, kai ka hring e patetlah na kamhnawngnae hoi panuetthonae lahoi ka hmuen kathoung hah na kamhnawng sak dawkvah, kai ni nang pasainae ka tawn mahoeh. Koung na pahma han, na pahren mahoeh.
Therefore, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely, because thou have defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore I also will diminish thee, nor shall my eye spare. And I also will have no pity.
12 Nangmouh thung pung thum touh dawk pung touh teh lacik patawnae hoi thoseh, takang hoi thoseh a due awh han. Pung touh hah tahloi hoi na teng vah a due awh han. Pung touh hah ka kâheisak vaiteh tahloi hoi ka pâlei han.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and they shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee, and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee, and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Hettelah ka lungkhueknae kamnue sak e lah ao han. A lathueng vah, ka lungkhueknae kamnue sak e lah ao navah, BAWIPA ni ngaikhainae hoi ka dei toe tie a panue awh han.
Thus my anger shall be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted. And they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them.
14 Hothloilah, ahni teng ka cet pueng e a hmalah nang heh tami kingdinae, na teng petkâkalup lah kaawm e miphunnaw ni dudam e lah na o han.
Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all who pass by.
15 Lungkhueknae a len poung e lahoi nang dawk ka pataw poung e kâhruetcuetnae na poe toteh, na tengpam kaawm e miphun pueng dawk dudam yonpen kawi lah pouk hanelah, kângairu hno lah na o han.
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, a lesson and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments on thee in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes-I, Jehovah, have spoken it-
16 Kai BAWIPA ni yo ka dei toe. A lathueng vah takang, kahawihoehe kahma katanae pala mathout e, kai ni ka pabo toteh, nangmouh thung takangthonae ka pung sak vaiteh, na hringnae lah kaawm e na rawcanaw ka raphoe han.
when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. And I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread.
17 Nangmouh koe takang hoi sarang ka tha vaiteh, na hringnae a pahma han. Lacik hoi kâtheinae ni na katum awh vaiteh, nangmouh koe tahloi ka thokhai han. Kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe telah ati.
And I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee. And pestilence and blood shall pass through thee. And I will bring the sword upon thee. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
