Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;
“Hlang capa, na maelhmai te Jerusalem la khueh lah. Te phoeiah rhokso te cip thil lamtah Israel khohmuen te tonghma thil laeh.
3 And say to the land of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, and I will take my sword out of its cover, cutting off from you the upright and the evil.
Te vaengah Israel khohmuen te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh ka cunghang a capang lamloh nang kam bong thil vetih nang lamkah aka dueng neh aka halang khaw ka saii pawn ni.
4 Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:
Ka cunghang he a capang lamloh thoeng tangloeng vetih nang lamkah pumsa hlang boeih tah aka dueng khaw, aka halang khaw tuithim lamloh tlangpuei due ka saii ni.
5 And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back.
Te vaengah kai BOEIPA loh ka cunghang a capang lamloh ka bong phoeiah koep ka sang pawt te pumsa hlang boeih loh a ming uh ni.
6 Make sounds of grief, son of man; with body bent and a bitter heart make sounds of grief before their eyes.
Te dongah hlang capa nang te cinghen a khaemnah hil huei lamtah hmuetphawt neh amih mikhmuh ah huei pah.
7 And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.
Nang te, 'Balae tih na huei,’ a ti vaengah, 'Olthang ha pawk dongah ni, 'ti nah. Te vaengah lungbuei boeih paci vetih kut khaw boeih tahah ni. Mueihla boeih ueih vetih khuklu boeih tui la poeh ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong tah ha pawk tih om coeng ke,” a ti.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
9 Son of man, say as a prophet, These are the words of the Lord: Say, A sword, a sword which has been made sharp and polished:
“Hlang Capa aw tonghma lamtah thui laeh. 'Boeipa loh he ni a. thui, cunghang te cunghang haat la huen laeh,’ ti nah.
10 It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame: ...
Rhaek la a om due a haat la a huen daengah ni. maeh khaw a ngawn eh. Thing cungkuem aka sit ka capa kah mancai te ngaingaih puei sih.
11 And I have given it to the polisher so that it may be taken in the hand: he has made the sword sharp, he has had it polished, to put it into the hand of him who gives death.
Huen ham neh a kut dongah pom ham a paek dongah cunghang haat coeng. Te dongah aka ngawn kut dongah paek ham a huen coeng.
12 Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.
Hlang capa aw pang lamtah rhung laeh. Ka pilnam neh Israel khoboei boeih te a om thil coeng. Ka pilnam neh aka om khaw cunghang dongla a voeih coeng. Te dongah na hlit te tum laeh.
Loepdak ngawn cakhaw mancai te sawtsit koinih ta? om khueng mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
14 So then, son of man, be a prophet, and put your hands together with a loud sound, and give two blows with the sword, and even three; it is the sword of those who are wounded, even the sword of the wounded; the great sword which goes round about them.
Te dongah hlang capa nang tonghma lamtah kut neh kut ngawn laeh. cunghang khaw a pathum la rhaep laeh. Amih te aka ngawn kah cunghang soah aka ngawn cunghang loh vael khungdaeng saeh.
15 In order that hearts may become soft, and the number of those who are falling may be increased, I have sent death by the sword against all their doors: you are made like a flame, you are polished for death.
Te daengah ni lungbuei paci vetih a vongka tom ah hmuitoel khaw a suplup eh. Anunae Maeh sah ham khopha bangla a saii tih a hnut cunghang hmui kang khueh coeng.
16 Be pointed to the right, to the left, wherever your edge is ordered.
Saih lamtah bantang phai, melam khaw na maelhmai te banvoei la khueh lamtah tuentah uh.
17 And I will put my hands together with a loud sound, and I will let my wrath have rest: I the Lord have said it.
Kai khaw ka kut neh ka kut te ka ngawn daengah ni ka kosi ka hlam eh. He tah BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui,” a ti.
18 And the word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
19 And you, son of man, have two ways marked out, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; let the two of them come out of one land: and let there be a pillar at the top of the road:
“Nang hlang capa aw Babylon manghai kah cunghang ha pawk ham longpuei rhoi te namah loh khueh laeh. Khohmuen pakhat lamloh ha thoeng rhoi saeh lamtah khopuei longpuei longcui ah kutngo suen la suen saeh.
20 Put a pillar at the top of the road for the sword to come to Rabbah in the land of the children of Ammon, and to Judah and to Jerusalem in the middle of her.
cunghang ha pawk ham longpuei te Ammon koca Rabbah taengah khaw, Judah taeng neh Jerusalem vong cak taegnah khaw khueh pah.
21 For the king of Babylon took his place at the parting of the ways, at the top of the two roads, to make use of secret arts: shaking the arrows this way and that, he put questions to the images of his gods, he took note of the inner parts of dead beasts.
Babylon manghai te longpuei caehtung kah longpuei longcoi rhoi ah bihma bi sak ham om ni. Te vaengah thaltang dongah a tap phoeiah sithui te a dawt vetih a thin duela a hmuh ni.
22 At his right hand was the fate of Jerusalem, to give orders for destruction, to send up the war-cry, to put engines of war against the doors, lifting up earthworks, building walls.
Tedae bihma tah Jerusalem te maehdoelh la khueh ham, ngawnkung taengah a ka ang sak ham, tamlung ol huel ham, vongka ah maehdoelh khueh ham, tanglung lun ham neh buep khoeng ham a bantang la a om pah ni.
23 And this answer given by secret arts will seem false to those who have given their oaths and have let them be broken: but he will keep the memory of evil-doing so that they may be taken.
Tedae amih taengah a bi khaw, amih mikhmuh ah a poeyoek la a bi bangla om ni. Amih taengah olhlo neh aka toemngam khaw thaesainah tuuk pah ham aka poek ni te.
24 For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Nangmih te namamih kathaesainah poek sak ham, na boekoeknah hliphen ham, na tholhnah phoe ham, nangmih kah khoboe rhamlang boeih dongah nangmih thoelh ham a kut neh n'tuuk uh ni.
25 And you, O evil one, wounded to death, O ruler of Israel, whose day has come in the time of the last punishment;
Nang Israel khoboei hlang rhong neh halang aw, thaesainah a bawtnah tue kah a khohnin ha pawk coeng.
26 This is what the Lord has said: Take away the holy head-dress, take off the crown: this will not be again: let that which is low be lifted up, and that which is high be made low.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Lupong te pit lamtah rhuisam khaw dul laeh. Te tlam moenih. Aka toem he sang tih aka sang te a kunyun sak.
27 I will let it be overturned, overturned, overturned: this will not be again till he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
Paletnah, paletnah, paletnah te ka khueh ni. Laitloeknah te anih taengla a pawk due he khaw om pawt vetih anih te ka paek ni.
28 And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:
Nang hlang capa tonghma lamtah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Ammon koca neh amih kokhahnah kawng ni. Te dongah, “cunghang, cunghang te phong lamtah rhaek bangla maeh hlap ham huen laeh.
29 Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.
Nang ham te a poeyoek la a hmuh tih nang te laithae neh halang rhok kah a rhawn ah voeih ham ni nang te m'bi. Thaesainah a bawtnah tue kah a khohnin ha pawk coeng.
30 Go back into your cover. In the place where you were made, in the land from which you were taken, I will be your judge.
A capang khui la sang laeh. Na suen nah hmuen kah namah tuikong khohmuen ah nang te lai kan tloek ni.
31 And I will let loose my burning passion on you, breathing out on you the fire of my wrath: and I will give you up into the hands of men like beasts, trained to destruction.
Nang soah ka kosi ka hawk vetih ka thinpom hmai neh nang kan sat thil ni. Nang te kutthai kut al hlang rhoek kut ah kutcaihnah la kan tloeng ni.
32 You will be food for the fire; your blood will be drained out in the land; there will be no more memory of you: for I the Lord have said it.
Hmai ham te toihthing la na poeh vetih na thii te khohmuen khui ah om ni. BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui coeng dongah nang m'poek uh mahpawh,” a ti.
