Ezekiel 14
1 And there came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Israel patong rhoek khui lamkah hlang rhoek te kai taengla ha pawk uh tih ka mikhmuh ah ngol uh.
2 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
“Hlang capa aw, he kah hlang rhoek he a lungbuei ah a mueirhol a khueh uh. Amamih mikhmuh ah a thaesainah hmuitoel a khueh uh. A toem ham khaw amih te ka toem aya?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols:
Te dongah amih te voek lamtah amamih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Hlang khaw Israel im kah hlang tah a lungbuei ah a mueirhol a khueh tih a mikhmuh ah amah kathaesainah hmuitoel a khueh phoeiah tonghma taengla pawk. A mueirhol khuehtawn neh aka pawk te BOEIPA kamah loh ka doo ni.
5 that I may take the house of Israel by their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Te dongah Israel imkhui te amamih kah lungbuei bangla tuuk ham om. Amih boeih te amamih kah mueirhol dongah ni kai taeng lamloh a kholong uh.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Te dongah Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Yut uh lamtah na mueirhol taeng lamloh mael uh. Nangmih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem taeng lamloh na maelhmai te mangthuung laeh.
7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me by him, I Jehovah will answer him by myself;
Te dongah hlang he Israel imkhui kah hlang khaw, Israel khuikah aka bakuep yinlai khaw kai te n'hai. Te dongah a lungbuei ah a mueirhol a khueh tih a mikhmuh ah amah kathaesainah hmuitoel a khueh. Tedae anih lamloh kai he toem ham tonghma taengla pawk kai BOEIPA kamah loh anih te ka doo ni.
8 and I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate, [so that he shall be] for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
Tekah hlang te ka maelhmai ka khueh thil vetih anih te miknoek neh thuidoeknah la ka khueh ni. Ka pilnam lakli lamloh anih ka saii vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
9 And if the prophet be enticed and shall speak a word, I Jehovah have enticed that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Tedae tonghma te a hloih tih ol thui cakhaw te tonghma te BOEIPA kamah loh ka hloih coeng. Te dongah anih te ka kut ka thueng thil vetih ka pilnam Israel khui lamloh anih te ka mitmoeng sak ni.
10 And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of the inquirer;
Amamih kathaesainah te a phueih uh vetithaesainah a toem uh vanbangla tonghma kathaesainah khaw ana om saeh.
11 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither make themselves any more unclean with all their transgressions; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Te daengah ni Israel imkhui te kai hnuk lamloh khohmang voel pawt vetih a boekoek cungkuem neh koep a poeih uh pawt eh. Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih taengah Pathen la ka om ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
12 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
13 Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by working unfaithfulness, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off man and beast from it;
“Hlang capa aw khohmuen loh kai taengah boekoeknah la boekoek ham a tholh atah ka kut a taengah ka thueng vetih a thahuelnah buh te ka pat sak ni. A soah khokha ka tueih pah vetih a hlang neh rhamsa te ka saii ni.
14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, should be in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
A khui ah hlang pathum, Noah, Daniel neh Job om koinih amih kah duengnah loh te rhoek kah a hinglu a huul pah khaming. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
15 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it become a desolation, so that no one passeth through because of the beasts;
Khohmuen longah boethae mulhing ka paan sak vetih cakol la om ni. Te vaengah khopong la poeh vetih mulhing mikhmuh ah aka pongpa om mahpawh.
16 — though these three men should be in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters: they only should be delivered, and the land should be a desolation.
Kai tah hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. A khui kah hlang pathum long he a capa khaw huul thai pawt vetih a canu khaw huul thai mahpawh. Amih te amamih bueng ngawn a huul uh khaming dae a, khohmuen tah khopong la om ni.
17 Or [if] I bring the sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off man and beast from it,
Khohmuen te cunghang ka muk thil coeng. Khohmuen te cunghang loh a paan ham ka thui dongah a hlang neh rhamsa te ka saii ni.
18 and these three men should be in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only themselves should be delivered.
Kai tah hingnah tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. A khui kah hlang pathum long he a capa khaw a canu a huul thai pawt atah amih loh amamih bueng khaw huul uh thae khaming.
19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
Te cakhaw khohmuen te duektahaw ka tueih thil vetih ka kosi a soah ka hawk ni. A hlang neh rhamsa saii ham thii long ni.
20 and Noah, Daniel, and Job should be in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter: they should [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Kai tah hingnah ni tite Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. A khui kah Noah, Daneil neh Job long pataeng a canu a capa te a huul thai moenih. Amamih kah duengnah nen ni a hinglu a huul.
21 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Ka taengkah tholhphu pali ngawn tah boethae cunghang neh khokha khaw, boethae mulhing neh duektahaw la a hlang neh rhamsa rhaih ham Jerusalem ah ka tueih.
22 But behold, there shall be left in it those that escape, who shall be brought out of [it], sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings; and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, as to all that I have brought upon it.
Tedae rhalyong la a khuen capa canu te a khuiah sueng ni. Amih khaw nangmih taengla ha thoeng coeng te. Amih khosing neh a khoboe rhamlang na hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah Jerusalem soah ka thoeng sak yoethae neh a soah a cungkuem la ka thoeng sak te na ko damti uh bitni.
23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Amih kah khosing neh a khoboe rhamlang na hmuh vaengah damti uh bitni. Te vaengah a khuiah a cungkuem ka saii te lunglilungla la ka saii uh pawt khaw na ming uh ni. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
