< Ezekiel 3 >
1 And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.
Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw hekah cayol he na hmuh te ca la ca. Te phoeiah cet lamtah Israel imkhui te thui pah,” a ti.
2 And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:
Te dongah ka ka te ka ang tih cayol te ka caak.
3 And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw namah taengah cayol kam paek he na bungko duela ca lamtah na bung hah sak,” a ti. Ka caak tangloeng vaengah tah ka ka dongah a didip neh khoitui bangla om.
4 And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.
Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, cet lamtah Israel imkhui te paan laeh, amih taengah kamah ol neh thui pah.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:
A hmuilai aka khuet neh ol aka kael pilnam taengah pawt tih Israel imkhui taengah ni nang kan tueih.
6 Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.
A hmuilai aka khuet tih a ol a kael neh a olka na yakming pawh pilnam cungkuem taengah moenih. Amih taengah pawt koinih nang kan tueih khaw amih loh nang ol te a hnatun uh suidae.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart.
Tedae Israel imkhui loh nang ol te hnatun ham huem uh pawh. Kai ol pataeng hnatun ham a ngaih uh moenih. Israel imkhui boeih tah a tal tlungluen tih a lungbuei khaw mangkhak uh.
8 Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.
Na maelhmai te amih maelhmai bangla ka tlungluen sak vetih na tal khaw amih tal bangla te ka tlungluen sak bitni ne.
9 I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house.
Na tal te hmailung lakah tlungluen lungning la kang khueh bitni. Amih te rhih boel lamtah amih boekoek imkhui kah a mikhmuh ah rhihyawp boeh,” a ti.
10 And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:
Te phoeiah kamah te, “Hlang capa aw, nang taengah ka thui kamah ol boeih he na thinko ah dueh lamtah na hna neh hnatun.
11 And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.
Cet lamtah na pilnam paca vangsawn te paan laeh. Amih te thui pah lamtah a hnatun akhaw a toeng akhaw Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah,” a ti.
12 And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place.
Te vaengah mueihla loh kai te n'dangrhoek tih ka hnukkah amah hmuen ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a tanglue la a uem te hinghuennah ol la yaak.
13 And the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion.
Mulhing manu neh a la te a phae hum ol neh a voeivang kah lengkho ol khaw hinghuennah tanglue ol la ka yaak.
14 The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
Te phoeiah mueihla loh kai n'dangrhoek tih ng'khuen. Tedae BOEIPA kut he kai soah ha tlungluen tih ka mueihla tah kosi neh khahing la ka cet.
15 And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
Te dongah Kebar tuiva ah kho aka sa Telabib vangsawn taengla ka pawk. Amih khosa rhoek taengah pahoi ka om tangloeng dae hnin rhih ka om mah amih lakli ah ka pong coeng.
16 And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Hnin rhih a bawtnah a pha vaengah BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk.
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
Te vaengah, “Hlang capa nang te Israel imkhui ham rhaltawt la kang khueh coeng. Ka ka lamkah ol he na yaak coeng dongah kai lamlong mah amih te thuituen.
18 If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Halang te, 'Na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ka ti coeng. Tedae halang te a halang longpuei lamloh ah hinglu hlawt ham thuituen tueng te na thuituen pawt tih na thui pawt vaengah, halang khaw amah kathaesainah neh duek koinih anih thii te nang kut lamloh ka suk ni.
19 But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Tedae nang halang te na thuituen lalah a halangnah neh a halang longpuei lamloh a mael pawt atah, anih te amah kathaesainah dongah duek vetih nang tah na hinglu na huul ni.
20 Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand.
Hlang dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai a saii van atah a mikhmuh ah hmuitoel ka khueh pah vetih anih te duek ni. A tholhnah dongah anih na thuituen pawt koinih a duek vaengah duengnah a saii te poek uh mahpawh. Tedae a thii te nang kut dongah kan toem ni.
21 But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul.
Aka dueng te a tholh pawt ham a dueng la amah na thuituen van atah anih khaw tholh mahpawh. A thuituen lamloh hing rhoe hing vetih nang khaw na hinglu te na huul van ni,” a ti.
22 And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee.
Te phoeiah kai soah BOEIPA kah kut pahoi om tih kai taengah, “Thoo lamtah kolbawn la na pawk vaengah namah te pahoi kam voek ni,” a ti.
23 And I rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face.
Te dongah ka thoo tih kolbawn la ka cet. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah thangpomnah bangla pahoi a pai tarha te Kebar tuiva ah ka hmuh tih ka hmai longah ka bakop.
24 And the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house.
Te vaengah ka khuila mueihla ha kun tih ka kho lamloh kai n'thoh. Te daengah kai te m'voek tih kamah taengah, “Na im khui te paan lamtah khai laeh.
25 And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them.
Nang hlang capa te ne, nang soah rhuivaeh hang khueh uh vetih amih taengah nang m'pin uh ni. Te dongah amih lakli ah na mop thai mahpawh.
26 And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house.
Na lai khaw na dang la ka kap sak vetih na tum uh ni. Amih boekoek imkhui aka tluung loh hlang bangla amih taengah na om thai moenih.
27 But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house.
Tedae nang taengah kan thui vaengah na ka kang ong bitni. Te vaengah amih te, 'Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui,’ ti nah lamtah, aka ngai long tah ngai saeh. Amih tah boekoek imkhui la a om dongah a hnawtkhoe long tah toeng ngawn saeh,” a ti.
