< Ezekiel 34 >

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who only feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed their flock?
“Hlang capa Israel aka dawn taengah tonghma pah. Tonghma lamtah amih aka dawn taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Anunae Israel aka dawn rhoek khaw amamih aka luem la om uh tih boiva aka luem te dawn uh pawt mico?
3 You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened sheep, but you do not feed the flock.
A tha te na caak uh tih tumul te na bai uh. Na luem puei uh van pawt ah, boiva a toitup te na ngawn uh.
4 You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bound up the injured, brought back the strays, or searched for the lost. Instead, you have ruled them with violence and cruelty.
Aka nue te na moem uh pawt tih aka tlo te na toi uh pawh. Aka khaem te na khop uh pawt tih a heh uh te khaw na mael uh puei pawh. Aka milh te khaw na toem uh pawh. Tedae amih te mangkhak la, thama la na buem uh.
5 They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild beasts.
Aka dawn a tal dongah taekyak uh tangloeng. A taek a yak vaengah tah khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la poeh.
6 My flock went astray on all the mountains and every high hill. They were scattered over the face of all the earth, with no one to search for them or seek them out.’
Ka boiva loh tlang tom neh som a sang tom ah palang uh. Diklai hman tom ah ka boiva loh a taekyak vaengah toem voel pawt tih tlap voel pawh.
7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
Te dongah aka dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh.
8 ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because My flock lacks a shepherd and has become prey and food for every wild beast, and because My shepherds did not search for My flock but fed themselves instead,
Kai tah hingnah ni tite Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Ka boiva te maeh la om mailai pawt nim? Ka boiva loh khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la a poeh he khaw dawn voel pawt tih a toem pawt dongah ni. Ka boiva te ka dawn sak dae amamih aka dawn la luem tih ka boiva te dawn uh pawh.
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD!’
Te dongah tu dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh.
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand from them My flock and remove them from tending the flock, so that they can no longer feed themselves. For I will deliver My flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.’
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Tu aka dawn rhoek te ka pai thil coeng tih amih kut lamkah ka boiva te ka toem ni. Amih te boiva aka luem puei lamloh ka paa sak daengah ni amamih ah aka dawn long khaw koep a luem thil uh pawt eh. Ka boiva te amih ka lamloh ka huul daengah ni amih kah cakok la a poeh pawt eh.
11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself will search for My flock and seek them out.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai kamah loh ka boiva te ka toem ngawn vetih amih ka hnukdawn ni he.
12 As a shepherd looks for his scattered sheep when he is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
Te khohnin ah anih te a tuping aka dawn hnukdawnkung bangla taekyak tangtae a boiva lakli ah om ni. Ka boiva te ka hnukdawn vetih cingmai neh yinnah hnin ah a taek a yak nah hmuen boeih lamloh amih te ka huul ni.
13 I will bring them out from the peoples, gather them from the countries, and bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the settlements of the land.
Amih te pilnam lamloh ka khuen vetih amih te paeng tom lamloh ka coi ni. Amih te amamih khohmuen la ka thak vetih amih Israel tlang kah sokca neh khohmuen tolrhum cungkuem ah ka luem puei ni.
14 I will feed them in good pasture, and the lofty mountains of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
Amih te luemnah then neh ka luem puei vetih Israel tlang sang ah amih kah tolkhoeng om ni. Tolkhoeng then ah kol uh vetih Israel tlang kah luemnah dongah pulpulh luem uh ni.
15 I will tend My flock and make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD.
Ka boiva te kamah loh ka luem puei vetih amih te kamah loh ka kol sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni.
16 I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bind up the broken, and strengthen the weak; but the sleek and strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them with justice.’
Aka milh te ka toem vetih a heh tangtae te khaw ka mael puei ni. Aka khaem te ka poi pah vetih aka nue te tha ka caang sak ni. Tedae pulpulh aka tlungluen khaw ka mitmoeng sak vetih tiktamnah neh ka luem sak ni.
17 This is what the Lord GOD says to you, My flock: ‘I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the goats.
Nangmih ka boiva rhoek aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh tu neh tu laklo, tutal laklo neh kikong laklo ah lai ka tloek coeng he.
18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink the clear waters? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet?
Luemnah then ah na luem uh tena yakvawt nim? Na luemnah coih te na kho neh na taelh. Tui cil na ok dae a coih te na kho neh na nu sak.
19 Why must My flock feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied?’
Nangmih kho loh a cawtkoi te ka boiva loh luem thil saeh lamtah nangmih kho loh a nookkoi te o saeh a?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Te dongah ka boeipa Yahovah loh amih taengah he ni a. thui. Kai kamah loh tu tha laklo neh tu pim laklo ah lai ka tloek ngawn ni.
21 Since you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
Na vae neh, laengpang neh na nen uh tih na ki neh na thoeh uh. Amih te boeih a muei hil vongvoel la na taek na yak uh.
22 I will save My flock, and they will no longer be prey. I will judge between one sheep and another.
Te dongah ka boiva te ka khang vetih maeh la om voel mahpawh. Tu neh tu laklo ah lai ka tloek.
23 I will appoint over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them. He will feed them and be their shepherd.
Amih aka dawn te pakhat ka thoh pah vetih amih te a luem puei ni. Ka sal David loh amih te a luem puei vetih amah te amih aka dawn la om ni.
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken.
BOEIPA kamah he amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih ka sal David tah amih lakli ah khoboei la om ni. He he BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui.
25 I will make with them a covenant of peace and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest.
Amih taengah rhoepnah paipi ka saii vetih boethae mulhing te diklai lamloh ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni khosoek ah ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih duup ah a ih uh eh.
26 I will make them and the places around My hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season—showers of blessing.
Amih te ka som kaepvai kah yoethennah te ka paek ni. A tue vaengah khonal ka tueih vetih yoethennah khonal la om ni.
27 The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.
Khohmuen thingkung loh a thaih te a paek vetih diklai loh a cangpai a paek ni. A khohmuen ah ngaikhuek la om uh vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah hnamkun hnokohcung te ka haih pah vetih amih aka thotat sak kut lamloh amih ka huul ni.
28 They will no longer be prey for the nations, and the beasts of the earth will not consume them. They will dwell securely, and no one will frighten them.
Namtom kah maeh la om uh voel pawt vetih amih te diklai mulhing loh dolh mahpawh. Ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih lakueng uh mahpawh.
29 And I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.
A thingling ming te amih ham ka thoh ni. Te daengah ni khokha aka tlung khaw khohmuen ah om voel pawt vetih namtom taengah mingthae a phueih uh voel pawt eh.
30 Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,’ declares the Lord GOD.
Te vaengah kai he amih taengkah a Pathen BOEIPA neh amih Israel imkhui khaw ka pilnam la a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
31 ‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
Nangmih tah kai kah boiva ni. Nangmih kah hlang te khaw ka rhamtlim khuikah boiva ni. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
