< Ezekiel 33 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
“Hlang capa aw, na pilnam paca te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Khohmuen te cunghang ka muk thil vaengah khohmuen pilnam loh a khobawt lamkah hlang pakhat te a tuek uh tih anih te amamih kah rhaltawt la a khueh uh.
3 if, when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people,
cunghang loh khohmuen soah a tlak te a hmuh vaengah tuki a ueng tih pilnam te a thuituen.
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes no warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Tuki ol te a yaak khaw a yaak dae a ngaihuet pawt dongah cunghang loh a tlak thil. Te vaengah anih a loh te a thii khaw amah lu dongah tla saeh.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no warning; his blood shall be upon him. Whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Tuki ol a yaak lalah a ngaihuet pawt atah amah thii ni amah soah a tlak eh. Amah a ngaihuet atah a hinglu a hlawt ni.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the watchman's hand.
Tedae rhaltawt loh cunghang ha pawk te a hmuh lalah tuki te ueng pawt tih pilnam huek pawh. Te vaengah cunghang ha pawk tih amih lamkah a hinglu te a loh pa atah amah kathaesainah kongah yook mai cakhaw a thii te rhaltawt kut ah ni ka toem eh.
7 So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Nang hlang capa namah ni Israel imkhui kah rhaltawt la kang khueh coeng. Te dongah ka ka lamkah ol na yaak neh kai lamloh amih te huek laeh.
8 When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, thou shall surely die, and thou do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Halang, halang te, 'Na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ka ti nah lalah halang te a longpuei lamloh ngaihuet sak ham na thui pawt atah, halang te amah kathaesainah dongah duek cakhaw a thii te tah nang kut ah ni ka toem eh.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
Tedae nang loh halang te a longpuei lamloh mael sak ham na huek lalah a longpuei lamloh a mael pawt atah amah thaesainah ah duek vetih nang tah na hinglu na huul ni.
10 And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?
Te dongah nang hlang capa, Israel imkhui te voek laeh. He he thui lamtah, 'Mamih kah boekoek neh mamih kah tholhnah ngawn tah mamih soah tla coeng. Amih kongah mamih m'muei uh tih metlae n'hing eh? 'ti saeh.
11 Say to them, As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Amih te thui pah. Kai tah hingnah ni. He he Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Halang kah dueknah dongah khaw ka naep pawt dongah halang khaw a longpuei lamloh lat mael saeh lamtah hing saeh. Na boethae longpuei lamloh mael rhoe mael laeh. Balae tih Israel imkhui loh tarha na duek eh?
12 And thou, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. And as for the wickedness of the wicked man, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness, nor shall he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
Te dongah nang hlang capa loh na pilnam paca te thui pah. A boekoek hnin ah tah aka dueng kah duengnah loh anih te huul mahpawh. A halangnah lamloh a mael khohnin ah halang kah halangnah dongah khaw tongtah mahpawh. Aka dueng khaw a tholh khohnin ah tah tholh neh a hing ham coeng pawh.
13 When I say to the righteous man, that he shall surely live, if he trusts his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his iniquity that he has committed, in it he shall die.
Aka dueng te hing rhoe hing ni ka ti sitoe cakhaw anih te amah kah duengnah dongah pangtung tih dumlai saii koinih anih kah duengnah boeih te a duengnah la poek uh mahpawh. A dumlai a saii dongah te amah ni a duek eh.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked man, Thou shall surely die, if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right,
Halang te duek rhoe duek ni ka ti bal sitoe cakhaw a tholhnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii.
15 if the wicked man restores the pledge, gives again that which he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
A halang akhaw hnohol te a mael tih a huenkoe te koep a thuung, hingnah khosing dongah pongpa tih dumlai a saii pawt atah hing roe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
A tholhnah cungkuem neh a tholh te a a taengah tholhnah poek uh pawt vetih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii dongah hing rhoe hing ni.
17 Yet the sons of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. But as for them, their way is not equitable.
Te vaengah na pilnam paca loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,” ti uh cakhaw amih kah a longpuei ni a tiktam pawh.
18 When the righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
Aka dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai a saii atah te dongah te duek van ni.
19 And when the wicked man turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Halang khaw a halangnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii atah te nen te anih hing ni.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. O house of Israel, I will judge you everyone according to his ways.
'Ka Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,’ na ti uh dae hlang he a longpuei tarhing ah ni nang Israel imkhui te lai kan tloek eh?,” a ti.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that a man who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.
Kaimih hlangsol kah kum hlai nit hla rha hnin nga a lo vaengah Jerusalem lamkah hlangyong te kai taengla ha pawk tih, “Khopuei a tloek coeng,” a ti.
22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
Hlangyong ha pawk hmai kah kholaeh ah BOEIPA kut te kai soah om coeng. Te dongah kai taengla aka pawk taengah mincang due ka ka a ong. Ka ka a ong tangloeng vaengah tah ka khuep voel pawh.
23 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ah ha pawk tih,
24 Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
“Hlang capa aw, Israel khohmuen imrhong kah khosa rhoek loh, 'Abraham pakhat bueng ni om tih khohmuen a pang mai. Tedae kaimih he yet ham he kamamih taengah khohmuen ni khoh la m'paek,” a ti uh.
25 Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land?
Te dongah amih taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah a thui he thui pah. Thii te na caak uh tih na mik te na mueirhol taengla na huel. Thii na kingling cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbor's wife. And shall ye possess the land?
Na cunghang dongah na pangnal uh tih tueilaehkoi na saii uh. Hlang long he a hui kah yuu te na poeih uh cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
27 Thus shall thou say to them. Thus says the lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and he who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Hingnah khaw kamah coeng dongah imrhong khuikah rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh het mahpawt nim? Te phoeiah khohmuen hoeng kah te mulhing taengla ka paek vetih anih te a ngaeh ni. Rhalmahim khui neh lungko khuikah te khaw duektahaw nen ni a duek uh eh.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. And the pride of her power shall cease. And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
Khohmuen te khopong neh a rhaerhap la ka khueh vetih a hoemdamnah a sarhi a kangkuen sak ni. Te vaengah Israel tlang te pong vetih aka paan om mahpawh.
29 Then they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Tedae BOEIPA kamah loh khohmuen te khopong neh rhaerhap la ka khueh khaw amamih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii uh dongah ni tila a ming uh bitni.
30 And as for thee, son of man, the sons of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.
“Nang hlang capa aw na pilnam paca loh nang te pangbueng kaep neh im thohka taengah n'thui uh. Hlang pakhat loh a manuca te kang a voek tih, 'Lo laeh lamtah BOEIPA taeng lamkah hang khuen ol he hnatun uh,’ a ti.
31 And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Nang taengah khotlak pilnam bangla ha pawk uh van tih ka pilnam bangla na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh. Na ol te a yaak uh van akhaw te te a vai uh moenih. A ka dongah hlampan uh ngawn cakhaw a lungbuei ah amamih kah mueluemnah dongah a pongpa te a phoe uh.
32 And, lo, thou are to them as a very lovely song of he who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do not do them.
Nang te amih taengah sakthen ol neh hlampan laa banghui ni ne. Na ol yaak sak ham balh na tum akhaw te te aka vai a om uh hae moenih.
33 And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.
Tedae te te ha pawk vaengah tah rhep ha pawk vetih amih lakli ah tonghma a om te a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
