Ezekiel 2
1 “Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
Hahoi, kai koe vah, tami capa na khok hoi kangdout nateh, nang koe lawk ka dei han telah ati.
2 As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
Kai koe lawk a dei lahun nah, Muitha ka thung vah a kâen. Ka khok hoi na kangdue sak teh kai koe lawk a dei e ka thai.
3 “Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
Kai koe vah tami capa nang teh taran na ka thaw e Isarel miphun, taran ka thaw e miphun, kai na ka hmuhma e miphun koe na patoun han. Amamouh hoi a na mintoenaw ni sahnin ditouh hawihoehnae lahoi kai na taran.
4 They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimanaw teh a lung ka patak e hoi dei ka ru poung e lah ao awh. Ahnimouh koe na patoun teh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei telah na ti han.
5 Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
Ahnimouh ni a tarawi hai thoseh, a tarawi hoeh hai thoseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw e imthung lah ao awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh koe profet ao tie a panue awh han.
6 Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
Nang tami capa, ahnimouh taket hanh. A lawknaw ni hai takinae na poe hanh naseh. Nang koe vah pâkhing a phun phun hoi kâhmo nakunghai, aikamnaw koe kho na ka sak nakunghai, taran ka thaw e lah na kaawm awh nakunghai, ahnimae lawk taket awh hanh. A meilamnaw ni na taket sak awh hanh naseh.
7 Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
A tarawi hai a tarawi hoeh nakunghai thoseh, ahnimouh koe kaie ka lawk na dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw awh e doeh.
8 As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
Hatei, nang tami capa nang koe ka dei lawk ngai haw. Taran ka thaw e imthung patetlah taran thaw van awh hanh. Na pahni ang nateh kai ni na poe e hah cat loe telah atipouh.
9 I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
Ka khet torei teh, a kut hoi na kâyap teh, khenhaw! a kut dawk cakalawng teh ao.
10 He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
Ka hmalah a rathap teh, athung, avanlah hoi thut e doeh. Khuinae, khopoukrunae, yawthoenae naw hah a kâthut.
