Ezekiel 4
1 “Now you, son of man, take a brick, place it before you, and draw on it the city of Jerusalem.
Nang hlang capa namah loh laiboeng lo lamtah namah mikhmuh ah tloeng laeh. A soah Jerusalem khopuei te tarhit laeh.
2 Then lay siege against it: Construct a siege wall, build a ramp to it, set up camps against it, and place battering rams around it on all sides.
A taengah vong khueh pah lamtah a taengah buep khueh pah. A taengah tanglung khueng lamtah a taengah rhaehhmuen khueh. A kaepvai te maehdoelh khueh pah.
3 Then take an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between yourself and the city. Turn your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
Te phoeiah namah loh thi thiphael te namah ham lo lamtah namah laklo neh khopuei laklo ah thi pangbueng la khueh. Te vaengah na maelhmai te a taengla hoi pah. Vongup ah a om bangla la khopuei te na dum bitni. He miknoek he Israel imkhui ham ni.
4 Then lie down on your left side and place the iniquity of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their iniquity for the number of days you lie on your side.
Te phoeiah nang te banvoei kah na vae neh yalh lamtah Israel imkhui kathaesainah te a soah tloeng pah. A soah na yalh khohnin tarhing ah amih kathaesainah te na phueih ni.
5 For I have assigned to you 390 days, according to the number of years of their iniquity. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Amih kathaesainah kum tarhing bangla nang te kan tueih tih khohnin ya thum neh hnin sawmko ah Israel imkhui kathaesainah te na phueih van ni.
6 When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you 40 days, a day for each year.
Te rhoek te na coeng van neh na vae bantang dongah yalh lamtah Judah imkhui kathaesainah te khohnin la hnin sawmli phueih pah. A kum la kum ham te hnin at ni nang kan tueih.
7 You must turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.
Te phoeiah Jerusalem vong la na maelhmai hooi lamtah na ban te khawn lamtah, a taengah tonghma pah.
8 Now behold, I will tie you up with ropes so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.
Te vaengah nang dongah rhuivaeh kang khih ni ne. Te dongah na vongup kah khohnin na poeng hill na vae khat ben lamloh na vae khat ben duela na hoi uh thai mahpawh.
9 But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side.
Te phoeiah namah loh namah ham cang neh cangtun, maidawn neh rhacik, malket neh cangkuem khaw lo ne. Te te amrhaeng pakhat dongah pae uh lamtah na vae neh na yalh khohnin tarhing ah na buh la te te khueh. Khohnin ya thum sawmko khuiah te te ca.
10 You are to weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day, and you are to eat it at set times.
Na caak te khaw a khiing la shekel pakul mah ca. A khohnin ham te a tue, a tue vaengah ca.
11 You are also to measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at set times.
Tui khaw khoe dongah bunang parhuk o lamtah a tue a tue vaengah o.
12 And you shall eat the food as you would a barley cake, after you bake it over dried human excrement in the sight of the people.”
Cangtun buh te na caak vaengah hlang kah natcaeh aek neh amih mikhmuh ah hai.
13 Then the LORD said, “This is how the Israelites will eat their defiled bread among the nations to which I will banish them.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Israel ca he tlam ni a buh rhalawt te a caak uh eh. Amih tenamtom taengah pahoi ka heh ni,” a ti.
14 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
Tedae, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, ka hinglu he maehrhok saha neh a poeih vai moenih ne. Ka camoe lamloh tahae hil ka ca vai pawt tih maeh khaw ka ka ah dikyik dikyak ka a kun moenih,” ka ti nah.
15 “Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that.”
Te vaengah kai te “Ana so, hlang aek yueng la vaito aek ni nang taengah aek la kam paek vetih na buh te a soah tawn,” a ti.
16 Then He told me, “Son of man, I am going to cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. They will anxiously eat bread rationed by weight, and in despair they will drink water by measure.
Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw, Jerusalem kah thahuelnah buh te ka bawt pah coeng. Te dongah buh te amah tarhing ah mawnnah neh a caak uh vetih tui te khoe dongah a maehmanah neh a ok uh ni.
17 So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
Buh neh tui a vaitah vetih hlang neh a manuca pong ni. Te vaengah amamih kathaesainah dongah muei uh ni.
