Ezekiel 23
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,
“Hlang capa aw, manu pakhat kah a canu huta panit om.
3 and they played in Egypt, prostituting themselves from their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their virgin bosoms caressed.
Tedae a camoe lamloh pahoi cukhalh rhoi tih Egypt ah cukhalh rhoi. A rhangsuk te a duep rhoi tih a cuemnah sukbam te hnap a saii.
4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
A ming ah a ham te Oholah tih a mana te Oholibah ni. Ka taengah a om rhoi hatah canu capa a sak rhoi tih a ming ah Samaria Oholah neh Jerusalem Oholibah la om.
5 Oholah prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
Oholah he kai hmanah cukhalh tih a lungnah khoyoei Assyria taengah pumben coeng.
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted on steeds.
Rhalboei rhoek kah pueinak thim neh, ukkung tongpang naidoeh rhoek, amih marhang dongah aka ngol khaw marhang caem boeih ni.
7 She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.
Amih taengkah a cukhalhnah te amih Assyria koca kah hlangrhoei boeih taengah a paek uh tih amih kah mueirhol cungkuem neh aka pumben boeih taengah poeih uh.
8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their lust upon her.
Egypt lamkah a cukhalhnah te toeng pawt tih a camoe pueng ah anih te a ih puei uh. Amih taengah ah a cuemnah sukbam te a saii tih a cukhalhnah te amah soah a hawk uh.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
Te dongah anih te a lungnah kut a pumben Assyria ca rhoek kut ah ka paek.
10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and put her to the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgment against her.
Amih loh a capa rhoek neh a canu kah a yah te a poelyoe uh. A khuen uh tih anih te cunghang neh a ngawn uh. Te dongah huta khuiah a ming om tih tholhphu te anih soah a suk uh.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
A mana Oholibah loh a hmuh vaengah a cuknah dongah poci ngai tih a cukhalhnah neh a maya kah pumyoihnah lakah nah.
12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
Assyria hlang rhoek neh pueinak aka soep ukkung hmaiben, amih boeih tongpang naidoeh, marhang dongah aka ngol marhang caem kah rhalboei te a pumben.
13 And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
Te dongah longpuei pakhat ah a boktlap la a poeih uh te ka hmuh.
14 But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion,
Tedae a cukhalhnah te a koei tih hlang a hmuh te pangbueng dongah a vuel. Khalden, Khalden kah mueihlip tah pangcik neh a tarhit pah.
15 wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
A cinghen ah hailaem phaivaep neh a lu kah lupong khaw cawklawih. Amih boeilu boeih kah a mueimae he a pacaboeina khohmuen kah Khalden Babylon ca phek ni.
16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
A mik dongah a mueimae dongah amih te a pumben a pumben tih Khalden kah amih taengah puencawn te a tueih.
17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. But after she had been defiled by them, she turned away in disgust.
Te vaengah Babylon ca rhoek tah a taengkah a hlo thingkong dongla ha pawk tih anih te amih cukhalhnah neh a poeih uh. Amih loh a poeih daengah a hinglu te amih taeng lamloh a hoeng.
18 When Oholibah openly prostituted herself and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
A cukhalhnah a poelyoe tih a yah a hliphen. Ka hinglu loh a maya a moeng bangla anih taeng lamloh ka hinglu a hoeng.
19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
A camoe tue vaengah Egypt khohmuen ah a cukhalh thoelh ham nim te a cukhalhnah loh ping.
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
A taengcaeh rhoek hnukah pumben. Amih saa tah laak saa tih amih yangtui tah marhang yangtui pawn ni.
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
Na camoe kah khonuen rhamtat te na hue vaengah na camoe kah rhangsuk neh na sukbam Egypt ah na duep.
22 Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
Te dongah Oholibah aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang taengkah na lungnah te ka haeng coeng ne. Na hinglu lohamih te a moeng dae amih te a kaepvai lamloh nang taengla kang khuen ni.
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them—all desirable young men, governors and commanders, officers and men of renown, mounted on horses.
Babylon ca rhoek neh Pekod Khalden boeih khaw, Shoa neh Koa, amih taengkah Assyria koca boeih, rhalboei naidoeh tongpang neh amih boeilu ukkung boeih khaw marhang dongah aka ngol la boeih a khue uh.
24 They will come against you with a host of peoples, with weapons, chariots, and wagons. They will array themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will punish you according to their own standards.
Nang taengah leng neh humhae cungpoel khaw, pilnam hlangping te photlinglen neh photlingca neh lumuek neh ha pawk uh vetih na kaepvai ah a khueh uh ni. Amih mikhmuh ah laitloeknah kang khueh vetih amih kah laitloeknah neh nang lai kan tloek ni.
25 And I will set My jealous rage against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
Ka thatlainah he nang taengah kam paek vetih nang te kosi neh n'saii uh ni. Na hnarhong neh na hna te han hlap uh vetih na hmailong ah cunghang loh a cungku sak ni. Na capa neh na canu a khuen uh vetih na hmailong ah hmai loh a hlawp uh ni.
26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
Nang te na himbai ham pit uh vetih na boeimang hnopai khaw han loh uh ni.
27 So I will put an end to your indecency and prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
Te vaengah nang lamkah na khonuen rhamtat neh Egypt khohmuen lamkah na thurha te ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni amih soah mik na huel pawt vetih Egypt khaw koep na poek pawt eh.
28 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang te rhoek kut ah kan tloeng coeng ne. Te rhoek kut te na hmuhuet tih na hinglu loh amih te a moeng dae ta.
29 They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your indecency and promiscuity
Hmuhuetnah neh nang te n'saii uh vetih na thaphu boeih han loh uh ni. Nang te pumtling neh yangyal la n'hnoo uh vetih na yah neh pumyoihnah, na khonuen rhamtat neh na cukhalhnah a hliphen ni.
30 have brought these things upon you, because you have prostituted yourself with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
Namtom hnukah na cukhalh tih amih kah mueirhol neh na poeih uh dongah ni te rhoek te nang soah a saii.
31 Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’
Na maya kah longpuei ah na pongpa dongah a boengloeng te nang kut ah kam paek ni.
32 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na maya boengloeng te ki na ok vaengah nueihcil la om mungkung vetih tamdaengnah te muep eal ni.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of devastation and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
Rhuihahnah neh kothae, na maya Samaria kah imsuep boengloeng neh khopong boengloeng na hah bitni.
34 You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’
Te te na ok tih na caep phoeiah a paikaek te na cilh vetih na rhangsuk na phuet ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kamah loh olphong ka thui coeng.
35 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your indecency and prostitution.’”
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai nan hnilh tih na nam la kai nan rhoe dongah namah loh namah kah khonuen rhamtat neh na cukhalhnah te khaw phuei laeh,” a ti.
36 Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, Oholah neh Oholibah te lai na tloek tih amih rhoi kah tueilaehkoi te amih rhoi taengah na thui aya?
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to Me, in the fire as food for their idols.
Samphaih uh tih a kut ah thii kap. A mueirhol neh samphaih uh tih kai ham a sak a ca rhoek pataeng amih taengah toihthing bangla a cum uh.
38 They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
Kai taengah a saii rhoi he khaw te khohnin ah ka rhokso ni a poeih rhoi tih ka Sabbath ni a poeih rhoi.
39 On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, they did this inside My house.
Te vaengah a ca rhoek te a mueirhol ham a ngawn uh tih te khohnin ah ka rhokso te poeih ham a kun thil uh. Te dongah ka im khui ah a saii uh tangkhuet he.
40 Furthermore, you sisters sent messengers for men who came from afar; and behold, when they arrived, you bathed for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
Amih taengah puencawn la a tueih tih khohla bangsang lamloh aka pawk hlang ham pataeng khaw a tueih thiluh. Ha pawk uh vaengah tuihlu lamtah na mik duum ne. Te phoeiah cangen te oi ne.
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
Khuehtawn thingkong dongah na ngol tih a mikhmuh ah caboei a phaih. Kai kah bo-ul neh ka situi tah amah dongah na khueh van.
42 accompanied by the sound of a carefree crowd. Drunkards were brought in from the desert along with men from the rabble, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
A kaepvai hlangping kah thayoeituipan ol neh bitun tongpa khuikah hlang khaw, khosoek lamkah yumii, yumii khaw hang khuen. Te vaengah a kut dongkah khungpak neh a lu dongah boeimang rhuisam a khuem uh.
43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’
Te vaengah, 'Samphaihnah neh rhuem coeng tih anih ham tah a cukhalhnah dongah cukhalh la cukhalh laeh saeh,’ ka ti.
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
Pumyoi nu taengah aka kun bangla anih te a paan uh. Te dongah khonuen rhamtat nu Oholah taeng neh Oholibah taengla pawk uh tangkhuet.
45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
Tedae amih hlang dueng loh amih te samphaih laitloeknah neh thii hawk kah laitloeknah dongah lai a tloek uh ni. Amih te samphaih uh tih a kut ah thii kap.
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Amih te hlangping paan sak lamtah amih te ngaihuetnah neh maeh la pae.
47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
Amih te hlangping loh lungto neh dae saeh lamtah amih te a cunghang neh hum saeh. A ca tongpa rhoek neh a ca huta rhoek te a ngawn pah vetih a im te hmai neh a hoeh uh ni.
48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
Tedae khohmuen kah na khonuen rhamtat te ka paa sak daengah ni huta boeih te thuituen uh vetih nangmih kah khonuen rhamtat bangla a saii uh pawt eh.
49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
Nangmih kah khonuen rhamtat te namamih soah han tloeng vetih na mueirhol tholhnah khaw na phueih ni. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kamah he nan ming uh bitni.
