Ezekiel 29
1 On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Kum rha dongkah hla rha hnin hlai nit vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, face towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and the whole of Egypt.
“Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh te na maelhmai khueh thil lamtah amah neh Egypt boeih te tonghma thil.
3 Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying in your rivers, who says, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it myself.’
Voek lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. A sokko tuilung ah aka kol tuihnam puei, Egypt manghai Pharaoh nang kam pai thil coeng ne. Amah long tah kai taengah, 'Ka sokko he kai loh kamah kah la ka khueh,’ a ti.
4 I'm going to put hooks in your jaws and make the fish in your river stick to your scales. I will pull you up out of your river, and all the fish will stick to your scales.
Thisum, thisum neh na kam ah kan dueh vetih na sokko kah nga te na lip dongah ka ben ni. Na sokko khui lamloh nang kan doek vetih na sokko kah nga boeih khaw na lip dongah kap ni.
5 I will throw you and the fish away, leaving you in the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left in the open. It won't be collected or taken to be buried. I'll leave you as food for wild animals and birds of prey.
Namah neh na sokko nga boeih khaw na khuikah khosoek ah kam phap vetih, lohma tlai ah na cungku ni. Nang n'khoem pawt vetih n'coi mahpawh. Diklai mulhing ham neh vaan kah vaa ham nang te cakok la kam paek ni.
6 Then everyone in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. When you had to deal with the people of Israel you were like a flimsy walking stick made from a reed.
Te vaengah Egypt khosa boeih loh BOEIPA kamah ni tila a ming uh ni. Amih te Israel imkhui kah capu conghol la om coeng.
7 When Israel grabbed hold of you, you split apart, damaging their shoulder. When they leaned on you, you broke, putting their backs out.
Amih loh nang te na kut, kut ah n'tuuk vaengah na paep tih amih kah laengpang boeih na phen pah. Nang dongah a hangdang vaengah nim te na khaem sumsoek tih amih kah cinghen boeih na phit sak.
8 So this is what the Lord God says: I will attack you with a sword and kill both people and animals.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang taengah cunghang kang khuen vetih nang lamkah hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka thup ni.
9 Egypt will become an empty wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Because you said, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it,’
Tedae, 'Sokko te kamah ham tih kamah loh ka saii,’ a ti dongah Egypt khohmuen te khopong neh imrhong la a poeh vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni.
10 that's why I'm condemning you and your river. I will ruin Egypt, making it into an empty wasteland all the way from Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, and up to the border with Cush.
Te dongah namah neh na sokko khaw ka pai thil coeng ne. Egypt kho te Syene Migdol lamloh Kusah khorhi due kholing khopong kah imrhong la ka khueh ni.
11 No one, human or animal, will travel that way or live there for forty years.
Te longah hlang kho loh paan pawt vetih rhamsa kho long khaw, te longah paan mahpawh. Kum sawmli khuiah khosa om mahpawh.
12 I will make Egypt more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will lie in ruins for forty years among all the other ruined towns. I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
Egypt khohmuen te khopong la ka khueh vaengah diklai hman ah pong ni. A khopuei rhoek khaw khopuei rhoek lakli ah a khah vetih kum sawmli khopong la om ni. Egypt te namtom taengla ka taek ka yak vetih amih te diklai ah ka haeh ni.
13 However, this is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the different countries where they were scattered.
Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kum sawmli a thok vaengah Egypt te ka taek ka yak nah pilnam taeng lamloh pahoi ka coi ni.
14 I will bring Egypt out of captivity and take them back to the land of Pathros, where they originally came from. Their kingdom will be insignificant.
Egypt thongtla te ka mael puei vetih amih te amah tuikong khohmuen kah Parthros khohmuen la ka bal sak ni. Te vaengah tlarhoel ram la pahoi om uh ni.
15 Egypt will be the lowest of kingdoms and won't ever be more important than other nations again. I will bring Egypt down so that it won't ever be able to rule over the nations again.
Ram tom lakah tlarhoel la om vetih namtom soah koep cungphoek mahpawh. Amih te ka muei sak daengah ni namtom soah a taemrhai pawt eh.
16 The people of Israel won't ever trust in Egypt again; instead they will be reminded them of their sin when they turned to the Egyptians for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”
Te vaengah a taengla amamih hooi uh tih thaesainah aka poek rhoek kah pangtungnah la Israel imkhui he om voel mahpawh. Te phoeiah Kai he, ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
17 On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Kum kul kum rhih, hla lamhma hnin at dongla a om vaengah BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk tih,
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army work really hard in the siege against Tyre. The soldiers had their hair worn off their heads, and their shoulders rubbed raw. However, he and his army didn't gain any benefit from Tyre for all the work they did in attacking it.
“Hlang capa aw, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Tyre te a caem kah thohtatnah a len neh a thohtat sak coeng. A lu khaw boeih tlong tih laengpang boeih thool coeng. Tedae amah ham neh a caem ham thapang om hae pawh. Tyre lamkah thohtatnah lamloh a taengah a thohtat sak.
19 So this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who will seize everything valuable. He will loot the country, robbing it to pay his army.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengah Egypt khohmuen ka paek coeng he. Te vaengah a hlangping te a khuen pah vetih a kutbuem khaw a buem pah ni. A maeh te a poelyoe pah vetih a caem ham thapang la om ni.
20 I'm rewarding him for all his work by giving him Egypt because the work they did was for me, declares the Lord God.
A taengah a thohtat te khaw kai ham a saii uh dongah, a thaphu la anih te Egypt khohmuen ka paek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
21 At that time I will give power back to the people of Israel and I will help you speak to them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Te khohnin ah Israel imkhui ham ki cawn ni. Te vaengah nang te amih lakli ah ka ongnah ka paek vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni,” a ti.
