Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
“Hlang capa, na maelhmai te Jerusalem la khueh lah. Te phoeiah rhokso te cip thil lamtah Israel khohmuen te tonghma thil laeh.
3 and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
Te vaengah Israel khohmuen te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh ka cunghang a capang lamloh nang kam bong thil vetih nang lamkah aka dueng neh aka halang khaw ka saii pawn ni.
4 Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
Ka cunghang he a capang lamloh thoeng tangloeng vetih nang lamkah pumsa hlang boeih tah aka dueng khaw, aka halang khaw tuithim lamloh tlangpuei due ka saii ni.
5 Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
Te vaengah kai BOEIPA loh ka cunghang a capang lamloh ka bong phoeiah koep ka sang pawt te pumsa hlang boeih loh a ming uh ni.
6 But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.
Te dongah hlang capa nang te cinghen a khaemnah hil huei lamtah hmuetphawt neh amih mikhmuh ah huei pah.
7 And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
Nang te, 'Balae tih na huei,’ a ti vaengah, 'Olthang ha pawk dongah ni, 'ti nah. Te vaengah lungbuei boeih paci vetih kut khaw boeih tahah ni. Mueihla boeih ueih vetih khuklu boeih tui la poeh ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong tah ha pawk tih om coeng ke,” a ti.
8 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
9 “Son of man, prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—
“Hlang Capa aw tonghma lamtah thui laeh. 'Boeipa loh he ni a thui, cunghang te cunghang haat la huen laeh,’ ti nah.
10 it is sharpened for the slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Should we rejoice in the scepter of My son? The sword despises every such stick.
Rhaek la a om due a haat la a huen daengah ni maeh khaw a ngawn eh. Thing cungkuem aka sit ka capa kah mancai te ngaingaih puei sih.
11 The sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished, to be placed in the hand of the slayer.
Huen ham neh a kut dongah pom ham a paek dongah cunghang haat coeng. Te dongah aka ngawn kut dongah paek ham a huen coeng.
12 Cry out and wail, O son of man, for the sword is wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are tossed to the sword with My people; therefore strike your thigh.
Hlang capa aw pang lamtah rhung laeh. Ka pilnam neh Israel khoboei boeih te a om thil coeng. Ka pilnam neh aka om khaw cunghang dongla a voeih coeng. Te dongah na hlit te tum laeh.
13 Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’
Loepdak ngawn cakhaw mancai te sawtsit koinih ta? om khueng mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
14 ‘So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike two times, even three. It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!
Te dongah hlang capa nang tonghma lamtah kut neh kut ngawn laeh. cunghang khaw a pathum la rhaep laeh. Amih te aka ngawn kah cunghang soah aka ngawn cunghang loh vael khungdaeng saeh.
15 So that their hearts may melt and many may stumble, I have appointed at all their gates a sword for slaughter. Yes, it is ready to flash like lightning; it is drawn for slaughter.
Te daengah ni lungbuei paci vetih a vongka tom ah hmuitoel khaw a suplup eh. Anunae Maeh sah ham khopha bangla a saii tih a hnut cunghang hmui kang khueh coeng.
16 Slash to the right; set your blade to the left— wherever your blade is directed.
Saih lamtah bantang phai, melam khaw na maelhmai te banvoei la khueh lamtah tuentah uh.
17 I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’
Kai khaw ka kut neh ka kut te ka ngawn daengah ni ka kosi ka hlam eh. He tah BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui,” a ti.
18 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
19 “Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a signpost where the road branches off to each city.
“Nang hlang capa aw Babylon manghai kah cunghang ha pawk ham longpuei rhoi te namah loh khueh laeh. Khohmuen pakhat lamloh ha thoeng rhoi saeh lamtah khopuei longpuei longcui ah kutngo suen la suen saeh.
20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.
cunghang ha pawk ham longpuei te Ammon koca Rabbah taengah khaw, Judah taeng neh Jerusalem vong cak taegnah khaw khueh pah.
21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.
Babylon manghai te longpuei caehtung kah longpuei longcoi rhoi ah bihma bi sak ham om ni. Te vaengah thaltang dongah a tap phoeiah sithui te a dawt vetih a thin duela a hmuh ni.
22 In his right hand appears the portent for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to call for the slaughter, to lift a battle cry, to direct the battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect a siege wall.
Tedae bihma tah Jerusalem te maehdoelh la khueh ham, ngawnkung taengah a ka ang sak ham, tamlung ol huel ham, vongka ah maehdoelh khueh ham, tanglung lun ham neh buep khoeng ham a bantang la a om pah ni.
23 It will seem like a false omen to the eyes of those who have sworn allegiance to him, but it will draw attention to their guilt and take them captive.
Tedae amih taengah a bi khaw, amih mikhmuh ah a poeyoek la a bi bangla om ni. Amih taengah olhlo neh aka toemngam khaw thaesainah tuuk pah ham aka poek ni te.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te namamih kathaesainah poek sak ham, na boekoeknah hliphen ham, na tholhnah phoe ham, nangmih kah khoboe rhamlang boeih dongah nangmih thoelh ham a kut neh n'tuuk uh ni.
25 And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’
Nang Israel khoboei hlang rhong neh halang aw, thaesainah a bawtnah tue kah a khohnin ha pawk coeng.
26 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lupong te pit lamtah rhuisam khaw dul laeh. Te tlam moenih. Aka toem he sang tih aka sang te a kunyun sak.
27 A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment.’
Paletnah, paletnah, paletnah te ka khueh ni. Laitloeknah te anih taengla a pawk due he khaw om pawt vetih anih te ka paek ni.
28 Now prophesy, son of man, and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning—
Nang hlang capa tonghma lamtah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Ammon koca neh amih kokhahnah kawng ni. Te dongah, “cunghang, cunghang te phong lamtah rhaek bangla maeh hlap ham huen laeh.
29 while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you— to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
Nang ham te a poeyoek la a hmuh tih nang te laithae neh halang rhok kah a rhawn ah voeih ham ni nang te m'bi. Thaesainah a bawtnah tue kah a khohnin ha pawk coeng.
30 Return the sword to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
A capang khui la sang laeh. Na suen nah hmuen kah namah tuikong khohmuen ah nang te lai kan tloek ni.
31 I will pour out My anger upon you; I will breathe the fire of My fury against you; I will hand you over to brutal men, skilled in destruction.
Nang soah ka kosi ka hawk vetih ka thinpom hmai neh nang kan sat thil ni. Nang te kutthai kut al hlang rhoek kut ah kutcaihnah la kan tloeng ni.
32 You will be fuel for the fire. Your blood will stain your own land. You will not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken.’”
Hmai ham te toihthing la na poeh vetih na thii te khohmuen khui ah om ni. BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui coeng dongah nang m'poek uh mahpawh,” a ti.
