< 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.
“You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take 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 you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you 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.
You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
4 Hote youn touh bout na lat nateh hmai sawi haw. Haw hoi teh Isarel imthung hoi hmai a tâco han.
Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out 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.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around 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.
She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgements amongst you 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.
I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your 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 will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgements on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.
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 GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I 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 you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. 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 will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath towards them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on 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 you a desolation and a reproach amongst the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that 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 will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgements on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, the LORD, 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 send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on 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.
I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken it.’”
