Ezekiel 9
1 Hottelah, khopui kakhenkung hah tami pueng raphoenae senehmaica sin lahoi rek hnai naseh telah kacaipounglah dei e ka thai.
Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
2 Khenhaw! atunglae longkha a lathueng lahoi ceinae koehoi tami taruk touh a tho awh. Tami pueng ni senehmaica a sin awh. A lungui e tami buet touh hni loukloukkaang kâkhu e ni, cahangum a sin. Hottelah a kâen awh teh rahum khougroe koe a kangdue awh.
Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Isarel Cathut bawilennae hah a onae cherubim takhang koe lah a luen teh, hni loukloukkaang kâkhu ni teh cahangum ka sin e hah a kaw.
The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4 BAWIPA ni ahni koevah, Jerusalem khopui lungui cet haw. Khopui hah koung katin. A thung e panuettho e hno a sak e kecu dawk ka khui ka kap e naw tampa dawk noutnae na sak pouh han telah ati.
Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5 Tami alouknaw koehai khopui thung ahni hnukkâbang nateh, pasainae hoi pahrennae tawn laipalah thet awh.
To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity.
6 Kacue e thoundoun tangla hoi camonaw hoi napui tongpa koung thet awh. Mitnout katawnnaw hah teh hnai hanh awh. Bawkim hmalah hoi kamtawng awh telah ati. ahnimouh ni hai bawkim hmalah kaawm e kacuenaw hah hmaloe thet awh.
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
7 Ahni ni ahnimouh koe bawkim teh a kamhnawng sak awh teh, a thei awh e ronaw hoi a thongmanaw hah kingkawi sak nateh, cet awh telah ati e patetlah a tâco awh teh, khopui vah a thei awh.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.
8 Hettelah khopui dawk a thei awh lahun navah, kai teh na ceitakhai awh teh, pakhup lah rawp ka tabo. Oe Bawipa Jehovah, Jerusalem lathueng vah, lungkhueknae na awi e hah, kacawirae Isarel taminaw hai na raphoe han namaw telah ka hram.
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Ahni ni kai koevah Isarel hoi Judah e payonnae teh apap poung dawk doeh. Ram teh thipaling hoi a kawi teh khopui teh, kalanhoehe lawkcengnae hoi akawi. BAWIPA ni ram teh a ceitakhai toe. BAWIPA ni banghai hmawt hoeh bo telah ati awh.
Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.’
10 Hatdawkvah, kai ni pasainae ka tawn mahoeh. A yonnae phu hah ahnimae lû lathueng ka pha sak han telah ati.
As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”
11 Hni loukloukkaang e kâkhu niteh, cahangum ka sin e ni hai, kâ na poe e patetlah be ka sak toe telah ati.
Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”
