Ezekiel 14
1 And some of the ancients of Israel came to 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 the Lord came to me, saying:
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
3 Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?
“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 to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
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 the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all 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 to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart 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 man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord 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 an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
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 when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off 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: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
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, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts.
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 the Lord came to me, saying:
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
13 Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of 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 And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.
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 And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass 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 If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.
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 to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of 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 be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall 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 also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation 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 Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.
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: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of 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 Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things 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 you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
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.
