< Ezekiel 2 >

1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
Kamah taengah, “Hlang capa aw na kho dongah pai lamtah nang taengah kan thui eh?,” a ti.
2 And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
Kai taeng a thui bangla ka khuiah Mueihla ha kun. Te vaengah ka kho dongah ka pai tih kamah taengah a thui te ka yaak.
3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
Te vaengah kai te, “Hlang capa nang te Israel ca rhoek taeng neh namtom taengah kan tueih. Amih neh kai te a tloelh a tloelh uh. A napa rhoek long khaw kai taengah tahae khohnin due a rhuh la boe a koek uh.
4 They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Ca rhoek khaw a maelhmai mangkhak neh a lungbuei khaw tlungluen uh. Kai loh nang te amih taengah kan tueih. Te dongah amih te, 'Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui,’ ti nah.
5 And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Amih loh a hnatun akhaw a toeng akhaw amih boekoek imkhui ham tonghma tah amamih lakli ah a om te ming saeh.
6 But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.
Tedae nang hlang capa loh amih te rhih boel lamtah amih ol te rhih boeh. Nang te hlingpuem tangti neh saelkhui ta-ai lakli ah na hing cakhaw amih ol te rhih boeh. Amih mikhmuh ah rhihyawp boeh amih te boekoek imkhui ni.
7 But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
Tedae amih boekoek dongah a hnatun uh akhaw a toeng uh akhaw ka ol he amih taengah thui kuekluek.
8 And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
Nang hlang capa namah taengah kan thui he hnatun. Boekoek imkhui bangla boekoek la om boeh. Na ka ang lamtah namah taengah kam paek te ca,” a ti.
9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,
Ka sawt vaengah kai taengla cabu cayol neh a kut tarha han thueng.
10 which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
Ka mikhmuh ah te te a phaih vaengah a hnuk a hmai ah ca a daek. A khuiah rhahlung neh caitawknah neh yoethaenah a daek.
