< Ezekiel 34 >

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
BOEIPA ol kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
“Hlang capa Israel aka dawn taengah tonghma pah. Tonghma lamtah amih aka dawn taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Anunae Israel aka dawn rhoek khaw amamih aka luem la om uh tih boiva aka luem te dawn uh pawt mico?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
A tha te na caak uh tih tumul te na bai uh. Na luem puei uh van pawt ah, boiva a toitup te na ngawn uh.
4 The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Aka nue te na moem uh pawt tih aka tlo te na toi uh pawh. Aka khaem te na khop uh pawt tih a heh uh te khaw na mael uh puei pawh. Aka milh te khaw na toem uh pawh. Tedae amih te mangkhak la, thama la na buem uh.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Aka dawn a tal dongah taekyak uh tangloeng. A taek a yak vaengah tah khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la poeh.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
Ka boiva loh tlang tom neh som a sang tom ah palang uh. Diklai hman tom ah ka boiva loh a taekyak vaengah toem voel pawt tih tlap voel pawh.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
Te dongah aka dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh.
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
Kai tah hingnah ni tite Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Ka boiva te maeh la om mailai pawt nim? Ka boiva loh khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la a poeh he khaw dawn voel pawt tih a toem pawt dongah ni. Ka boiva te ka dawn sak dae amamih aka dawn la luem tih ka boiva te dawn uh pawh.
9 — therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
Te dongah tu dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh.
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Tu aka dawn rhoek te ka pai thil coeng tih amih kut lamkah ka boiva te ka toem ni. Amih te boiva aka luem puei lamloh ka paa sak daengah ni amamih ah aka dawn long khaw koep a luem thil uh pawt eh. Ka boiva te amih ka lamloh ka huul daengah ni amih kah cakok la a poeh pawt eh.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai kamah loh ka boiva te ka toem ngawn vetih amih ka hnukdawn ni he.
12 As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Te khohnin ah anih te a tuping aka dawn hnukdawnkung bangla taekyak tangtae a boiva lakli ah om ni. Ka boiva te ka hnukdawn vetih cingmai neh yinnah hnin ah a taek a yak nah hmuen boeih lamloh amih te ka huul ni.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
Amih te pilnam lamloh ka khuen vetih amih te paeng tom lamloh ka coi ni. Amih te amamih khohmuen la ka thak vetih amih Israel tlang kah sokca neh khohmuen tolrhum cungkuem ah ka luem puei ni.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Amih te luemnah then neh ka luem puei vetih Israel tlang sang ah amih kah tolkhoeng om ni. Tolkhoeng then ah kol uh vetih Israel tlang kah luemnah dongah pulpulh luem uh ni.
15 I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Ka boiva te kamah loh ka luem puei vetih amih te kamah loh ka kol sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni.
16 I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
Aka milh te ka toem vetih a heh tangtae te khaw ka mael puei ni. Aka khaem te ka poi pah vetih aka nue te tha ka caang sak ni. Tedae pulpulh aka tlungluen khaw ka mitmoeng sak vetih tiktamnah neh ka luem sak ni.
17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
Nangmih ka boiva rhoek aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh tu neh tu laklo, tutal laklo neh kikong laklo ah lai ka tloek coeng he.
18 Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Luemnah then ah na luem uh tena yakvawt nim? Na luemnah coih te na kho neh na taelh. Tui cil na ok dae a coih te na kho neh na nu sak.
19 And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Nangmih kho loh a cawtkoi te ka boiva loh luem thil saeh lamtah nangmih kho loh a nookkoi te o saeh a?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Te dongah ka boeipa Yahovah loh amih taengah he ni a. thui. Kai kamah loh tu tha laklo neh tu pim laklo ah lai ka tloek ngawn ni.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
Na vae neh, laengpang neh na nen uh tih na ki neh na thoeh uh. Amih te boeih a muei hil vongvoel la na taek na yak uh.
22 — I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
Te dongah ka boiva te ka khang vetih maeh la om voel mahpawh. Tu neh tu laklo ah lai ka tloek.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Amih aka dawn te pakhat ka thoh pah vetih amih te a luem puei ni. Ka sal David loh amih te a luem puei vetih amah te amih aka dawn la om ni.
24 And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
BOEIPA kamah he amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih ka sal David tah amih lakli ah khoboei la om ni. He he BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Amih taengah rhoepnah paipi ka saii vetih boethae mulhing te diklai lamloh ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni khosoek ah ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih duup ah a ih uh eh.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
Amih te ka som kaepvai kah yoethennah te ka paek ni. A tue vaengah khonal ka tueih vetih yoethennah khonal la om ni.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
Khohmuen thingkung loh a thaih te a paek vetih diklai loh a cangpai a paek ni. A khohmuen ah ngaikhuek la om uh vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah hnamkun hnokohcung te ka haih pah vetih amih aka thotat sak kut lamloh amih ka huul ni.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
Namtom kah maeh la om uh voel pawt vetih amih te diklai mulhing loh dolh mahpawh. Ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih lakueng uh mahpawh.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.
A thingling ming te amih ham ka thoh ni. Te daengah ni khokha aka tlung khaw khohmuen ah om voel pawt vetih namtom taengah mingthae a phueih uh voel pawt eh.
30 And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Te vaengah kai he amih taengkah a Pathen BOEIPA neh amih Israel imkhui khaw ka pilnam la a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
31 And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Nangmih tah kai kah boiva ni. Nangmih kah hlang te khaw ka rhamtlim khuikah boiva ni. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
