Jezekiel 21
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 Therefore prophesy, son of man, set thy face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and thou shalt prophesy 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 thou shalt say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of thee the transgressor and unrighteous.
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 will destroy out of thee the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath 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 shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
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 And thou, son of man, groan with the breaking of thy loins; thou shalt even groan heavily in their sight.
Te dongah hlang capa nang te cinghen a khaemnah hil huei lamtah hmuetphawt neh amih mikhmuh ah huei pah.
7 And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Wherefore dost thou groan? that thou shalt say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, saith 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, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
“Hlang Capa aw tonghma lamtah thui laeh. 'Boeipa loh he ni a. thui, cunghang te cunghang haat la huen laeh,’ ti nah.
10 that thou mayest slay victims; be sharpened that thou mayest be bright, ready for slaughter, slay, set at nought, despise every tree.
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 he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
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 Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap thine hands, for sentence has been passed:
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.
13 and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, saith the Lord God.
Loepdak ngawn cakhaw mancai te sawtsit koinih ta? om khueng mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
14 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and clap thine hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and thou shalt strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
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 and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
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 And do thou go on, sharpen thyself on the right and on the left whithersoever thy face may set itself.
Saih lamtah bantang phai, melam khaw na maelhmai te banvoei la khueh lamtah tuentah uh.
17 And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [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, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
19 and thou, son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, thou shalt set [it] at the top of the way,
“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 that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
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 shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
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 On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
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 he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
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 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because ye have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because ye have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall ye be taken.
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 thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus saith the Lord;
Nang Israel khoboei hlang rhong neh halang aw, thaesainah a bawtnah tue kah a khohnin ha pawk coeng.
26 Thou hast taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: thou hast abased that which was high, and exalted that which was 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 Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [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 thou, son of man, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that thou mayest gleam.
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 While thou art seeing vain [visions], and while thou art prophesying falsehoods, to bring thyself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
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 Turn, rest not in this place wherein thou wert born: in thine own land will I judge thee.
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 pour out my wrath upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver thee into the hands of barbarians skilled in working 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 Thou shalt be fuel for fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of thy land; there shall be no remembrance at all of thee: for I the Lord have spoken [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.
