Jezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol he kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, relate a tale, and speak a parable to the house of Israel:
“Hlang capa, Israel imkhui te olkael neh voek lamtah thuidoeknah neh thuidoek lah.
3 and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; A great eagle with large wings, spreading them out very far, with many claws, which has the design of entering into Libanus—and he took the choice [branches] of the cedar:
Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. atha len rhoe len tih a phae mul khaw sai. A dii te khaw rhaekva bangla phung. Lebanon la a pawk vaengah lamphai thingsoi ah cu.
4 he cropped off the ends of the tender twigs, and brought them into the land of Chanaan; he laid them up in a walled city.
A thingsam soi te a hlaek tih Kanaan kho la a khuen. Te phoeiah thenpom khopuei ah a ten.
5 And he took of the seed of the land, and sowed it in a field planted by much water; he set it in a conspicuous place.
Khohmuen cangti te khaw a loh tih cangti khohmuen ah a tuh. Tairhi te a loh tih tui taengah khawk a sut.
6 And it sprang up, and became a weak and little vine, so that the branches thereof appeared [upon] it, and its roots were under it: and it became a vine, and put forth shoots, and sent forth its tendrils.
A duei vaengah misur bangla om tih a sang khaw a toem la cawn. A hlaeng khaw amah taengla ngoi tih a dang ah a yung om van. Te dongah misur bangla om tih amah a saii neh thingsam la cawn.
7 And there was another great eagle, with great wings and many claws: and, behold, this vine bent itself round toward him, and her roots [were turned] towards him, and she sent forth her branches towards him, that [he] might water her together with the growth of her plantation.
Tedae atha pakhat tah a phae a len, len neh om tih a dii khaw phung. Te vaengah misur te anih taengla a yung a hlak tih canglak kah a thingling te suep ham a hlaeng anih taengla a voeih.
8 She thrives in a fair field by much water, to produce shoots and bear fruit, that she might become a great vine.
A hlaeng saii ham neh a thaih thaih sak ham, misur bangla a bu om sak ham khohmuen then neh tui taengah muep a phung.
9 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; Shall it prosper? shall not the roots of her tender stem and her fruit be blighted? yea, all her early shoots shall be dried up, and [that] not by a mighty arm, nor by many people, to tear her up from her roots.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Thaihtak ni ti nah. A yung pat vetih a thaih khaw hul mahpawt nim? A dawn thingsuep te boeih a rhae akhaw rhae mai veh. A yung lamloh a kuel ham khaw pilnam a yet neh bantha a len a kuek moenih.
10 And, behold, it thrives: shall it prosper? shall it not wither as soon as the east wind touches it? it shall be withered together with the growth of its shoots.
A phung dae thaihtak aya he? Anih te khothoeng yilh loh a yawn vaengah rhae rhoe rhae vetih canglak kah a thingdawn pataeng rhae mahpawt nim?,” a ti.
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
12 Son of man, say now to the provoking house, Know ye not what these things were? say [to them], Whenever the king of Babylon shall come against Jerusalem, then he shall take her king and her princes, and shall take them home to Babylon.
Boekoek imkhui te thui pah laeh. He tla a thui he na ming pawt nim? Babylon manghai loh Jerusalem a paan tih a manghai neh a mangpa rhoek khaw a khuen coeng ke. Amih te a taengah Babylon la a khuen coeng.
13 And he shall take of the seed royal, and shall make a covenant with him, and shall bind him with an oath: and he shall take the princes of the land:
Mangpa tiingan lamkah te a khuen tih a taengah paipi a saii pah. Anih te olcaeng hmuiah kun tih khohmuen thingnu te a loh.
14 that it may become a weak kingdom, so as never to lift itself up, that he may keep his covenant, and establish it.
Tlarhoel ram la om sak tih soekloek pawt ham, a paipi ngaithuen ham neh thoh sak ham a saii.
15 And [if] he shall revolt from him, to send his messengers into Egypt, that [they] may give him horses and much people; shall he prosper? shall he that acts as an adversary be preserved? and shall he that transgresses the covenant be preserved?
Amah ham marhang neh pilnam muep dang ham Egypt la puencawn a tueih neh anih te a tloelh dae thaihtak aya? Te te aka saii te loeih aya? Paipi aka phae khaw loeih aya?
16 [As] I live, saith the Lord, verily in [the] place where the king is that made him king, who dishonoured my oath, and who broke my covenant, shall he die with him in the midst of Babylon.
Kai tah hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Manghai khohmuen ah anih te ka manghai sak. A olcaeng a sit tih a taengkah a paipi te a phae dongah Babylon lakli ah duek saeh.
17 And Pharaoh shall make war upon him not with a large force or great multitude, in throwing up a mound, and in building of forts, to cut off souls.
Caemtloek vaengkah tanglung lun ham neh hinglu muep aka phae la buep a khoeng vaengah Pharaoh loh anih a saii te tatthai tanglue, pilnu hlangping nen moenih.
18 Whereas he has profaned the oath so as to break the covenant, when, behold, I engage his hand, and he has done all these things to him, he shall not escape.
Paipi phae ham olcaeng a hnoel van dongah a kut duen cakhaw a cungkuem a saii he loeih mahpawh ne.
19 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord; [As] I live, surely mine oath which he has profaned, and my covenant which he has transgressed, I will even recompense it upon his head.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai he hingnah pawt bangla ka olcaeng a sit tih ka paipi aka hnalval te amah lu ah ni ka thoeng sak eh.
20 And I will spread a net upon him, and he shall be caught in its snare.
Anih te ka lawk ka tung pah vetih ka rhalvong dongah man ni. Anih te Babylon la ka khuen vetih a boekoeknah neh kai taengah boe a koek te anih soah lai ka tloek ni.
21 In every battle of his they shall fall by the sword, and I will scatter [his] remnant to every wind: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
A hlangyong, a hlangyong boeih tah a caembong boeih khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih aka sueng rhoek te khohli cungkuem taengla a thaek uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui te na ming bitni.
22 For thus saith the Lord; I will even take of the choice [branches] of the cedar from the top [thereof], I will crop off their hearts, and I will plant it on a high mountain:
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh lamphai thingsang thingsoi lamkah ka loh vetih thingsam lamkah ka phung ni. A dawn mongkawt te ka hlaek vetih tlang sang palek ah ka phung ni.
23 and I will hang it on a lofty mountain of Israel: yea, I will plant it, and it shall put forth shoots, and shall bear fruit, and it shall be a great cedar: and every bird shall rest beneath it, even every fowl shall rest under its shadow: its branches shall be restored.
Israel tlang sang ah ka phung vaengah a hlaeng cawn vetih a thaih thai ni. Te vaengah aka khuet lamphai la om vetih a soah vaa cungkuem loh kho a sak. A hlaeng hlipkhup kah a hmoi tomah om uh ni.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord that bring low the high tree, and exalt the low tree, and wither the green tree, and cause the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
Te vaengah khohmuen kah thing boeih loh BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Thing sang te ka kunyun sak tih, thing toem te ka sang sak. Thing a thingsup khaw ka koh sak tih thing koh khaw ka saihnim sak. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui bangla ka saii ni.
