< Ezekiel 9 >

1 Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.”
Ka hna ah ol ue la kut dongah ng'khue tih, “Khopuei aka cawhkung rhoek te hang khuen lamtah hlang loh amah pocinah hnopai te pom saeh,” ti nah.
2 And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
Tlangpuei la aka mael a so vongka longpuei lamloh hlang parhuk ha pawk coeng ke. A kut dongah amah kah ngawnnah hnopai aka pom hlang rhoek ni. Amih khui kah hlang pakhat tah takhlawk pueinak neh a kaep ah cadaek catui a hol. Ha pawk uh vaengah tah rhohum hmueihtuk taengah pai uh.
3 Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side.
Te phoeiah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah tah cherubim so lamloh luei tih te kah a soah im thohkong ni a om coeng. Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak a kaep ah cadaek catui aka tawn hlang te a khue.
4 “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.”
BOEIPA loh anih te, “Khopuei khui longah Jerusalem khui la paan lamtah a khui ah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii soah aka huei tih aka kii hlang rhoek kah a tal ah kutha khoeih pah,” a ti.
5 And as I listened, He said to the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing; do not show pity or spare anyone!
Te kamah hna ah, “Anih te khopuei longah paan lamtah ngawn laeh. Na mik loh rhen boel saeh lamtah na mik loh lungma ti boel saeh.
6 Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
Patong neh tongpang oila khaw, camoe neh manu khaw, kutcaihnah la ngawn laeh. Tedae a pum dongah kutha aka om hlang boeih te tah mop thil boeh, ka rhokso lamloh tong laeh,” a ti. Te dongah im hmai kah hlang rhoek neh patong taeng lamloh a tong uh.
7 Then He told them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Im aka poeih neh vongup ah rhok aka bae rhoek te paan uh,” a ti. Te dongah a paan uh tih khopuei lamloh a ngawn uh.
8 While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire remnant of Israel?”
Amih a ngawn vaengah kai n'hlun. Te vaengah ka maelhmai dongah ka cungku. Ka pang tih, “Aw ka Boeipa Yahovah, Jerusalem ah na kosi na hawk vaengah Israel kah a meet boeih te na thup a,” ka ti.
9 He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’
Te vaengah kai taengah, “Israel neh Judah imkhui kathaesainah te bahoeng bahoeng len. Khohmuen ah thii baetawt tih khopuei ah a hoemlae khawk. BOEIPA loh khohmuen a hnoo tih BOEIPA loh hmu pawh,’ a ti uh.
10 But as for Me, I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. I will bring their deeds down upon their own heads.”
Tedae kai khaw ka mik loh rhen pawt vetih lungma ka ti mahpawh. Amih kah khosing te amamih lu soah ka sah ni,” a ti.
11 Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”
Te phoeiah coengah takhlawk pueinak neh a cinghen ah catui aka tawn hlang loh ol a hlat tih, “Kai nang uen bangla boeih ka saii coeng,” a ti.
