Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 “Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
tami capa Jerusalem koe lah na minhmai hrueng haw, kathounge hmuen koe lah taranlahoi lawk hah dei haw. Isarel ram taranlahoi lawk hah pâpho haw.
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.
Isarel ram koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! nang teh na taran, a tabu dawk e tahloi ka rayu vaiteh, nangmouh thung e tamikalan hoi tamikathout hoi ka pâmit han.
4 Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh thung e tamikalan hoi tamikathout ka pâmit han. Hatdawkvah, atunglah hoi akalae moithang pueng taranlahoi kaie tahloi a tabu dawk hoi ka rayu vaiteh,
5 Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
Kai BAWIPA ni tahloi a tabu dawk hoi ka rayu tie moithang pueng ni a panue thai nahan, bout ka raseng mahoeh toe, telah ati.
6 But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.
Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa hramki na teh lung ka rek lah ahnimae hmaitung vah pou hram haw.
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.”
Bangkongmaw na cingou telah ati awh navah, nang ni kai teh kamthang lawk kecu dawk, ka cingou, a tho han a hnai toe, tamipueng ni puenghoi a taki awh teh a kut pueng a tha a youn awh han. A lung a pout awh vaiteh, a khokpakhunaw hai a tui lah kamyawt han. Hote hno teh a tho lahun tie a kong hah Bawipa Jehovah ni lawk a poe e a kuep sak han tie hah bout dei haw telah ati.
8 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
9 “Son of man, prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—
tami capa lawk dei nateh, hettelah BAWIPA ni a dei tahloi, tahloi, kahranpoung e lah o teh loukloukkaang sak toe.
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.
Takithopoung e kâtheinae o sak hanelah, hransak e lah ao teh, sumpapalik e patetlah a ang hanelah, ka ta e doeh. Nawmnae sak awh han rah na ou. Thingnaw pueng ni banglahai na noutna hoeh e patetlah ka capa e sonron ni na dudam.
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.
Hno thai nahanelah hran sak hanelah a poe toe. Hete tahloi heh kathetkung hane kut dawk poe hanelah hransaknae hoi loukloukkaang sak toe.
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.
Tami capa kap nateh hram haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw hah taran e lah ao vaiteh, Isarel bawinaw pueng taran e lah ao han. Taki ka tho e tahloi hoi ka taminaw hah taran e lah ao. Hatdawkvah, na phai hah ratum.
13 Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh tanouknae doeh. Tahloi ni sonron patenghai dudam pawiteh, bangtelah han ne. Sonron hah awm mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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!
Hatdawkvah, nang tami capa lawk pâpho haw, na kut hah tambei haw, due thainae tahloi hah vai thum touh palik. Theinae tahloi ni amamae rakhan tangkuem ouk ka kâen e, tami a tha ka sai e hah a kalup awh.
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.
Lungthin karawknaw, a rawknae hoe apap nahanelah, kahran e tahloi takhang tangkuem koevah, ka hruek toe. Aiyoe! sumpapalik e patetlah a ang, duenae tahloi.
16 Slash to the right; set your blade to the left— wherever your blade is directed.
Aranglah kamlang nateh bouk nateh kâroesak. Avoilah kamlang nateh kâroesak haw, hahoi hmalah hoiyah bouk haw.
17 I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’
Kai ni hai ka kut ka tambei vaiteh, ka kuep sak mingming han. Ka lungkhueknae kai BAWIPA ni hetheh ka dei toe ati tet pouh telah ati.
18 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
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.
tami capa Babilon siangpahrang tahloi a cei nahanelah, lamthung kahni touh sak. Hote lamthung kahni touh e teh, ram buet touh koehoi a tâco han. Lam a kâphinae dawk hmuen buet touh rawi nateh, khopui koelah ceinae longkha lah sak haw.
20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.
Lamthung hah Ammonnaw kho Rabah hoi tahloi a tâco thai nahan sak nateh, Judah ram a lungui e Jerusalem kalupnae hai sak haw.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, cungpam rayu hanelah Babilon siangpahrang teh lamthung kahni touh a kâcunae koe a kangdue, palanaw mak a kalawt teh, Terah meikaphawk lawk a pacei, a thin hah a khet.
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.
Cungpam a rayunae koe a rang lae kut dawk Jerusalem hah a kamnue. Rapan raphoenae hoi tarantuknae hramkinae a pawlawk takhang koe tumdum e rapan raphoe nahane monrui paten hane hoi tungdumnae sak hane hoi,
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.
ahnimouh hoi lawkkamnae kasakkungnaw e hmaitung vah, kalanhoehe cungpam rayunae patetlah ao. Hateiteh la e lah ao thai nahan, a payonnae a pahnim hoeh nahan a thokhai han.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, na payonnae hah pahnim hoeh nahanelah na sak kecu dawk, kâlawk na eknae a kamnue. Hottelah na sak awh e hnonaw pueng dawk na yonnae pou a kamnue teh, pahnim hoeh e lah na o dawkvah, kut dawk man e lah na o awh han.
25 And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’
Hahoi nang Isarel kahrawikung, ka kamhnawng e, na yonnae rektapnae hnin roeroe a pha toe.
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.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kahrawikung e lupawk teh tâkhawng pouh nateh, bawilukhung hai tâkhawng pouh. Hethateh, ama boiboe lah mahoeh, kârahnoumnaw hah tawmrasang awh nateh, tawmrasang e hah kârahnoum sak awh.
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.’
Bungling lah ka bang han, bungling lah ka bang han, bungling lah ka bang han. Katawnkung a tho hoehroukrak hot teh awm mahoeh, hothateh ama koevah ka poe han telah ati.
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—
Hahoi nang tami capa, lawk dei haw. Hettelah dei, Bawipa Jehovah ni Ammon miphun kong hoi a pathoenae kong dawk, hettelah a dei. Tahloi tahloi rayu e lah ao toe. Tami theinae hoi kahmasaknae dawkvah sumpapalik e patetlah a ang sak toe.
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.
Kamnuenae kaphawk na hmu sak teh tahloi teh tamikayon due hanelah, a hmâ ka cat e, a yonnae hnin a poutnae a pha hane, a lahuennaw dawk na cuek han ati navah laithoe doeh a dei awh.
30 Return the sword to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
Na tahloi hah a tabu dawk pâseng, nang na tâconae hmuen, na khenae roeroe koevah, nange na kong lawk ka ceng han.
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.
Ka ngaihoehnae hah na lathueng vah ka awi vaiteh, ka lungkhueknae hmai lah na lathueng vah ka patawi han, tami a nuen ka mathout raphoe kathoumpoung e kut dawk na raphoe han.
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 lah patawi hanelah na o vaiteh, ram lungui vaihma thi hah a lawng han. Pou panue e lah na awm mahoeh toe, bangkongtetpawiteh, kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe tet pouh telah ati.
