< Ezekiel 28 >
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
“Hlang capa aw, Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Tyre rhaengsang taengah thui pah. Na lungbuei sang tih, 'Kai la pathen, tuipuei tuilung kah pathen tolrhum ah ka ngol,’ na ti. Tedae nang hlang tangkik loh na lungbuei tah pathen lungbuei la na poek cakhaw na pathen moenih.
3 You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
Daniel lakah Daniel la na cueih ta te. A kael boeih khaw nang ham a hmuep moenih ko te.
4 Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
Na cueihnah neh na lungcuei lamloh na thadueng la na saii. Na thakvoh khuiah sui neh cak na hen.
5 You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
Na hnothungnah dongah na cueihnah khaw puh tih na thadueng sai van. Tedae na thadueng dongah na thinko sang.
6 So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a god,
Na thinko te pathen kah lungbuei bangla na ngai dongah ni ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he he a thui.
7 watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
Te dongah ni hlanghaeng neh namtom kholong te nang taengla kang khuen he. A cunghang neh na cueihnah sakthen te a khoh uh vetih na omyalnah khaw a poeih ni.
8 They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in the sea.
Vaam khuila nang n'suntlak sak uh vetih tuipuei tuilung ah rhok dongkah dueknah neh na duek ni.
9 Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
Nang aka ngawn kah mikhmuh ah, 'Kai la pathen,’ na ti khaw na ti aya? Nang adam ngawn tah namah aka poeih kut ah na pathen moenih.
10 You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
Kamah loh ka thui coeng dongah kholong kut ah ni pumdul kah dueknah neh na duek eh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
11 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk bal tih,
12 “Son of man, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.
Hlang capa aw Tyre manghai ham rhahlung phueih pah lamtah amah te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Cueihnah khuengrhueng neh sakthen boeih kah cungkuemnah kutha aka daeng khaw nang ni.
13 You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
Pathen kah dum Eden ah tah lung vang cungkuem te na thoeicamnah tih lungling vaya, lungmik, timsuih, oitha, maihae, minhum khocillung neh tamkuei, na kamrhing neh na rhotak toembael sui hnopai neh nang n'suen khohnin ah ni na khuiah a tawn uh.
14 I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among the stones of fire.
Nang tah koelhnah aka thingthung cherubim ni. Te dongah ni Pathen kah cimcaihnah tlang ah nang kang khueh. Hmai lungto lakli ah khaw na om tih na pongpa coeng.
15 You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
Nang kan suen khohnin lamloh na khuikah dumlai a phoe hil pataeng na longpuei ah na cuemthuek.
16 You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among the stones of fire.
Na hnothungnah kah a puhnah lamloh na kotak te kuthlahnah hah tih na tholh. Te dongah ni Pathen kah tlang lamloh nang kam poeih tih hmai lungto lakli lamkah aka thingthung cherubim taeng lamloh nang kam milh sak.
17 You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
Na sakthen dongah na lungbuei khaw sang tih na cueihnah neh na poci. Na omyalnah dongah ni diklai la manghai rhoek kah mikhmuh ah nang kam voeih tih nang te sawt sak ham nang kang khueh.
18 By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
Na hnothungnah dumlai dongah namah kathaesainah tah khawk tih na rhokso ni na poeih coeng. Te dongah ni na khui lamloh hmai ka puek sak tih nang n'hlawp. Te vaengah nang aka so boeih kah mikhmuh ah nang te diklai hmaiphu la kang khueh.
19 All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
Pilnam khuikah nang aka ming boeih loh nang soah hal uh coeng. Mueirhih la na poeh tanglang tih kumhal duela na phoe pawh,” a ti.
20 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk bal tih,
21 “Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
“Hlang capa aw Sidon te na maelhmai khueh thil lamtah tonghma thil laeh.
22 Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. Kai loh Sidon nang kam pai thil coeng ne. Na kotak khuiah ka thangpom uh vetih BOEIPA kamah tila m'ming uh bitni. Tholhphu te anih soah ka saii vetih a khuiah ka ciim uh bitni.
23 I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
A khuikah duektahaw neh a kawtpoeng ah thii ka tueih vaengah a kaepvai kah cunghang neh a kholung ah a rhok la cungku ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh bitni.
24 The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
Te vaengah Israel imkhui ham tangti kah a huet neh hling kah a do khaw om voel mahpawh. A kaepvai boeih lamkah amih aka hnaep long khaw kai he ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila a ming uh bitni.
25 This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Israel imkhui te pilnam lamloh ka coi. Amih taengla taekyak uh cakhaw namtom mikhmuh kah amih taengah ka ciim coeng. Te dongah a khohmuen ah kho a sak uh ni. Te te ka sal Jakob taengah ka paek coeng.
26 They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
A khuiah ngaikhuek la hing uh vetih im a sak uh ni. Misur a phung uh vetih ngaikhuek la hing uh ni. A kaepvai lamkah amih aka hnaep boeih soah tholhphu ka suk vaengah kai he BOEIPA a Pathen la a ming uh bitni.
