Ezekiel 24
1 And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
A kum ko neh hla rha kah hlasae hnin rha dongah kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,”
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.
Hlang loh capa aw, tahae khohnin kuelhuelh kah khohnin ming he namah ham daek rhoe daek laeh. Tahae khohnin kuelhuelh ah Babylon manghai loh Jerusalem a dum coeng.
3 And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it.
Boekoek imkhui te thuidoeknah neh thuidoek lamtah amih te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Am te khueng, khueng lamtah a khuiah tui sak bal.
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones:
Amah maehpoel neh a phai dongkah maehpoel then boeih te a khuiah sang lamtah a laeng rhuh dongkah a sathen neh baetawt sak.
5 take the choice of the flock; and also [put] a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein.
Boiva sakthen te khuen lamtah a rhuh te a dangah hmoek bal. A tlawknah dongah tlawk saeh lamtah a rhuh te a khui duela hmin saeh.
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it:
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei aih, am khaw a khuikah a khawt phoeikah a khawt hoeng mai la. Te te a koeih pawh a maehpoel a maehpoel mah tloeh lamtah hmulung khaw naan thil rhae boeh.
7 for her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust.
A thii khaw laipi te vuei thil ham diklai ah hawk pawt tih a laklung kah thaelpang aka tlaai soah a hawk.
8 That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Kosi sah ham, phulohnah neh phuloh ham te thaelpang a tlaai dongkah a thii ka khueh te dah uh kangna pawh.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Te dongah Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae thii aka kap khopuei te kai loh hlanhmai ka hueng thil van bitni.
10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Thing hawn lamtah hmai toih laeh. Maeh te na khok neh anhoi thungnom thil lamtah a rhuhrhong te tlum saeh.
11 Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust may be consumed.
A hoeng te hmai-alh soah tloeng lamtah ling saeh. Rhohum te a tlum daengah ni a khui kah a tihnai te tlae vetih a khawt khaw a cing eh.
12 She hath exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire.
A khawt mah thah coeng tih a kawt te hmai loh a noeng pawt dongah thinngan la a ngak coeng.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee.
Na tihnai khonuen rhamtat lamloh nang kan caihcil dae na tihnai lamloh na caihcil moenih. Nang sokah ka kosi koep kahlam due na caihcil moenih.
14 I Jehovah have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui te thoeng tih ka saii vaengah ka hlahpham pawt vetih ka rhen mahpawh. Na longpuei bangla ko ka hlawt pawt vetih na khoboe rhamlang bangla nang lai n'tloek uh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
15 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet thou shalt not mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Hlang capa aw, na mik kah a ngailaemnah te nang lamloh lucik neh ka loh coeng ne. Tedae rhaengsae boeh, rhap boeh, na mikphi long sak boeh.
17 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.
Na kii khaw kuemsuem lamtah aka duek ham nguekcoinah saii boeh. Na lukhuem te namah ah hlin lamtah na khokhom khaw na kho dongah buen laeh. Na hmui khaw dah boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca boeh,” a ti.
18 — And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Te dongah pilnam te te mincang ah ka voek. Hlaem vaengah ka yuu duek tih kai uen bangla mincang ah ka saii.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest?
Te vaengah kai taengah pilnam loh, “Mamih ham na thui mahpawt nim? Balae tih kaimih ham he he na saii,” a ti uh.
20 And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Amih te ka voek vaengah kai taengah BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
21 Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
“Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui taengah thui pah. Ka rhokso te ka poeih coeng ne. Hoemdamnah na sarhi khaw, na mik kah ngailaemnah neh na hinglu kah huengaihnah dongah na capa neh na canu na hlun te cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;
Te vaengah ka saii bangla saii uh. Na hmui te dah uh boel lamtah hlang kah buh khaw ca uh boeh.
23 and your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan one toward another.
Na lukhuem te na lu dongah, na khokhom te na kho dongah khuehuh. Rhaengsae uh boel lamtah rhap uh boeh. Namamih kathaesainah neh na muei uh vaengah hlang he a manuca ham na nguek uh bitni.
24 Thus Ezekiel shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
Te dongah Ezekiel nang ham kopoekrhai la om bitni. A cungkuem a saii bangla na saii tih a thoeng vaengah kai he ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila na ming uh bitni.
25 And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereunto they lift up their soul, their sons and their daughters,
Nang hlang capa aw amih lamkah a lunghim, a boeimang omthennah, a mikhmuh kah ngailaemnah neh a hinglu kah olrhuh, a capa neh a canu ka loh te khohnin pakhat dongah moenih a?
26 that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause [thine] ears to hear [it]?
Te khohnin kah hlangyong te na hna dongah olthang la ha pawk ni.
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb. So shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
Te khohnin ah na ka hang ong vetih hlangyong te na voek vetih phah voel mahpawh. Amih ham kopoekrhai la na om tangloeng vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
