Ezekiel 24
1 In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
A kum tako thapa yung hra hnin hra hnin BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
tami capa hete hnin sahnin e hnin hah thun haw, hete hnin roeroe dawkvah, Babilon siangpahrang ni Jerusalem tuk hanelah a kamtawng.
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
Taran kathâw e imthung koevah, bangnuenae lawk dei haw. Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Hlaam hah khueng haw, hmai patawi sin nateh, a thung vah tui hai hlun haw.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
A thung vah moituen hrueng nateh, kahawi e moi a tak pueng hah a phai a loung a hru hah kahawicalah kingracet haw.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
Saringnaw thung dawk e kahawipoung e hah lat nateh, a rahim vah thing kapappoung rahawng, moi hah hlakhlak tangdawk naseh, a hrunaw hah dik hmin naseh.
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
Hatdawkvah Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Tami ka thet e khopui, ka tangdawk e moi hlaam ka ekko ni teh kaawm rae hlaam teh a yawthoe. Moituen buet touh hnukkhu buet touh rasat haw.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a palawng e thi hah amae thung ao teh, lungsong van a hruek. Vaiphu hoi ramuk hanelah talai dawkvah a rabawk hoeh.
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
Moipathung hanelah lungkhueknae a tâco thai nahane lahoi ramuk e lah ao hoeh nahan, thipaling e hah lungsong dawk ka awi toe.
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Thi ka palawng e khopui teh a yaw a thoe, kai ni hai moikapap lah thing ka rahawng sin han.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
Hmai sut patawi sin awh nateh, thing moikapap lah rahawng sin awh. Moi hah dik kahmincalah thawng awh, a moi hah katuipoung lah a hru pueng hai he kang naseh.
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
Hmai patawi e van hlaam hah ahrawng lah khueng haw.
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
Hmawtcei totouh ka thawng nakunghai, moikapap lah sumei tâcawt mahoeh. Hmai ni hai kang thai hoeh.
13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
Na kamhnawngnae teh na cuknae lah ao teh, na pâsu ei, na thoung kalawn hoeh dawkvah, na lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae pueng a pha hoehroukrak teh, nâtuek haiyah na kamhnawngnae koehoi thoung sak e lah na awm mahoeh toe.
14 I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’
Kai BAWIPA ni yo ka dei toe. Ka phat roeroe han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai kama ni ka sak han, hnuklah kâhnawn mahoeh. Ka pasai mahoeh, pankângai mahoeh, na hringnuen hoi na tawksak e hoi kamcu lah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah tet pouh telah ati.
15 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow.
tami capa khenhaw! vaitalahoi na mitkhet khuektinae hah na takhoe pouh han. Na kângaikâthung mahoeh. na kap hai na kap mahoeh. Na mitphi hai bawt mahoeh.
17 Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
Arulahoi cingou haw. Tamikadout hanelah khui hanh. Luhuem huem nateh, khokkhawm hah khawm haw. Na pahni huem hanh, ka roedengnaw e bu hai cat hanh telah ati.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.
Hottelah amom lah tamimaya koe lawk ka dei teh, tangmin lah ka yu teh a due, amom lah kâ na poe e patetlah ka sak.
19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
Tami ni hettelah a sak e heh kaimouh hanelah, bang a ngainae ne, na dei pouh mahoeh maw telah ati.
20 So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Hottelah kai ni ka pathung, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
21 Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
Isarel imthung koevah dei pouh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Thai haw, kaie hmuen kathoung, nangmae na thaonae na kâoupnae nangmouh ni na khet han na ngai awh e, na kâoup e kai ni kakhin sak vaiteh, na canaw hoi hnukkhu lah na cei takhai awh e hah tahloi hoi a due awh han.
22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.
Kai ni ka sak e patetlah na sak awh van han. Na pahni na huem awh mahoeh. Ka roedengnaw e rawca na cat mahoeh.
23 Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves.
Luhuem na lû dawk na huem awh vaiteh, khokkhawm hai na khawm awh han. Khuikanae awm mahoeh. Namamae na yonnae dawk na kahmakata awh vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh na kâkhuikhai awh han.
24 ‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
Het patetlah Ezekiel hah nama hanelah khetsin hanelah awm vaiteh, a sak e patetlah na sak awh van han, heteheh a pha toteh, Bawipa Jehovah lah ka o tie na panue awh han telah ati telah ka ti.
25 And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,
Hahoi nang tami capa, ahnimae rapanim, konawmnae, bawilennae, mitnoenae, lungradueknae thoseh, na canaw hah kai ni ka pâmit torei teh,
26 on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
hote hnin roeroe navah, ka yawng e hah nang koe tho vaiteh, hothah na thai sak han.
27 On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Hot hnin torei teh, ka yawng e hoi a kâhmo vaiteh, na pahni na ang han, lawk na dei vaiteh, duem na awm mahoeh toe, hottelah ahnimouh hane mitnoutnae lah ao vaiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han telah ati.
