Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
tami capa Isarel imthung dawkvah pâveinae sak pouh haw, bangnuenae buet touh dei pouh.
3 And say: Thus saith the Lord God: A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar.
Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Mataw kalenpounge rathei kakawpoung e a tawn teh a rathei hmo kasawpoung e, a em kaawm ni teh a muen kathapoung e hah Lebanon mon dawk a kamleng teh Sidar thing e a donghmo hah a la.
4 He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.
A kang dawk e a dawn kanaw poung e a khoe teh, tami hno kayawtnaw e ram dawk a kamlengkhai teh, hno yonae khopui dawkvah a ung.
5 And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth.
Haw e ram cati a tangawn hah a la teh, talai kahawi dawk a paw sak teh, tui moikapap a onae kongteng vah sumpakung patetlah a ung.
6 And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs.
A roung takhang teh misurkung abu ka rung poung e lah ao. A kangnaw teh mataw aonae koe lah a buk teh, ahnie rahim vah a tangpha ao, akangnaw hoi ka kuep e misurkung lah ao.
7 And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
Hatei, kalenpounge mataw alouke bout ao. Kakawpoung e hoi katha poung e a muen hah a tawn van. Khenhaw! hete misur heh ahni koe lah a kung a yam, ahni hah tui hoi a awi thai nahanelah, a ungnae hmuen koehoi ahni koe lah a kang hah a yam.
8 It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine.
A kang hah a tâco teh kahawipoung e misur lah ao thai nahan, tui moikapap e kongteng ung e lah ao.
9 Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people, to pluck it up by the root?
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. A hmacawn han na ou, a kamyai thai nahan, a tangpha hah kaduek pouh vaiteh, a paw hah khi han na maw, na hna ka dawn e pueng ni hai a kamyai han, a tangpha totouh ka duek hane, kalenpounge bahu hoi moikapap e tamihu a panki han na maw.
10 Behold, it is planted: shall it prosper then? shall it not be dried up when the burning wind shall touch it, and shall it not wither in the furrows where it grew?
Khenhaw! ka ung nakunghai, a hmacawn thai han na maw, Kanîtholae kahlî ni a hmang toteh, koung ka kamyai han nahoehmaw, a pawnae hmuen dawk ka kamyai han tet pouh telah ati.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Hothloilah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
12 Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof, and carry them with him to Babylon.
taran ka thaw e imthung koevah, dei pouh hete hno kaawm e heh panuek awh hoeh maw dei pouh, khenhaw! Babilon siangpahrang teh Jerusalem vah a tho teh, a siangpahrang hoi kacuenaw a man awh teh, Babilon vah a ceikhai awh.
13 And he shall take one of the king’s seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land,
A miphun thung e siangpahrang cati a man awh, lawkkamnae a sak khai awh teh, thama lahoi lawk a kam sak awh, ram dawk e athakaawmnaw koung a ceikhai awh.
14 That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant, and observe it.
A uknaeram hah a pabo teh a ma dueng lahoi a kangdue hoeh nahan, hatei a lawkkamnae hah caksak lahoi a kangdue thai nahan.
15 But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant?
Hatei marang hoi tami moikapap ahni koe a poe thai nahan, Izip ram lah laicei patoun hanelah hoi a lathueng vah taran a thaw. A hmacawn han na ou, hot patetlae hno kasakkung ni teh a rungngang thai han na ou.
16 As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die.
Kai ka hring e patetlah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Ka bawi poung e siangpahrang lah kasakkung khosaknae hmuen roeroe dawk thoe ka bo e hah bout a raphoe teh, a lawkkamnae hah a ek teh, ama koe roeroe vah Babilon vah a due han.
17 And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls.
Taran tuknae koe tami moikapap thei nahanelah monrui hoi rapan a sak nah hoi, Faro e athakaawm ransanaw hoi ka lentoe poung e tamihu ni hai banghai sak pouh thai mahoeh.
18 For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkkamnae ek lahoi, thoebonae a raphoe, lawk a kâkam hnukkhu vah, hete hnonaw pueng bout a sak, hatdawkvah, hlout roeroe mahoeh.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Kaie thoebonae a raphoe teh, ka lawkkamnae hah a ek. Kai kahring e patetlah ahni teh ka pathung roeroe han.
20 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me.
Tamlawk hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, kaie masi dawk a kâman han. Babilon vah ka ceikhai vaiteh, hawvah kâlawk eknae, kaie lathueng kâlawk a eknae roeroe dawk lawk ka ceng han.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword: and the residue shall be scattered into every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
Hahoi ahu thung hoi ka yawng e pueng hah tahloi hoi a due awh han, kacawie hah talai pout totouh a kâkahei awh han, hahoi kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe tie na panue awh han.
22 Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka rasang poung e Sidar dawn hah kai ni ka la vaiteh, ka ung han. A lungui e a dawn teh ka khoe vaiteh, kamnuek poung e mon ka rasang nah koevah ka ung han.
23 On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches, and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof.
Isarel a rasangnae mon dawk ka ung han, a kang a cawn awh han. A paw a paw vaiteh, ka lentoe poung e Sidarkung lah ao han, a rahim vah tava phunkuep ni kho a sak vaiteh, a tâhlip rahim vah ao awh han.
24 And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it.
Kahrawng e thingnaw ni kai BAWIPA ni ka rasang e thingkung ka rahnoum sak teh, ka rahnoum e thingkung hah ka rasang sak. Thing hring hah ka ke sak teh, thingke hah hluthlut kanaw sak tie hah a panue awh han. Kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe, sak hai ka sak toe telah ati.
