Ezekiel 4
1 “Son of man, you are to take a brick, put in front of you, and draw a picture of the city of Jerusalem on it.
Nang, tami capa amhru lat nateh na hmalah hrueng nateh, Jerusalem khopui meilam thun haw.
2 Show that it's under siege: establish a siege perimeter all around it, build a siege ramp against it, set up the enemy camps beside it, and put battering rams on all sides around it.
Petkâkalup lah rapan hoi kalup nateh, mon ka coum e hah pet tai nateh, ransa roenae hah tai sin nateh, rapan patennae thingtaboungnaw hah petkâkalup lah tat.
3 Put an iron plate between yourself and the city so it's like an iron wall. Face the city and demonstrate that it's under siege, and that you are the one attacking it. This is a symbolic warning to the people of Israel.
Sumphen lat nateh, nama hoi khopui rahak vah sumrapan lah thung haw. Haw lah kangvawi nateh, hottelah na tungdum vaiteh, haw e khopui teh kalup e lah ao han. Hetheh Isarelnaw hane mitnoutnae lah ao han.
4 Then lie on your left side and take the Israelites' sins on yourself. You will carry their sins for the number of days you lie on your side.
Nang teh avoilah kâpaihrueng lahoi ip haw, na van vah Isarel imthung payonnae hah thueng nateh, a yonnae hah na phu han. Touk e hnin yit touh a van vah ip.
5 I will make you stay there for 390 days, representing the number of years of their sins. You will bear the sins of the Israelites.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a payonae kum hah nange lathueng ka patue. Hnin touk e patetlah hnin 390 touh thung Isarel imthung yonnae na phu han.
6 Once you have finished doing this for these days, then you are to lie down again, but this time on your right side, and carry the sins of the people of Judah. I will make you stay there for 40 days, one day for every year.
Na kuep sak hnukkhu aranglah paihrueng lahoi yan nateh, Judah payonnae hah hnin 40 touh bout na khang han. Kum touh hane hnin touh na van vah ka patue toe.
7 Keep your face towards the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.
Hatdawkvah, na kalup e Jerusalem koelah na kangvawi han. Na kut na dâw vaiteh, ahni koelah profet lawk na pâpho han.
8 Be ready, because now I'm going to tie you up with ropes so you can't move from side to side until the days of your siege are over.
Khenhaw! tangron hoi na pakhi vaiteh, na kalup hnin a kuep hoehroukrak teh, nâ lahai na kamlang thai mahoeh.
9 Get some wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and mix them together in a storage jar. Use them to make bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat for the 390 days that you lie on your side.
Cakang, catun, pe phunkuep, kalape, vaicakuem, rakhun e cakang hah lat, hlaam buet touh dawk hrueng nateh vaiyei lah sak. Paihrueng lah na i na thung hnin 390 touh thung hot hah na ca han.
10 You are allowed to eat twenty shekels weight of food each day, and you are to eat it at regular times.
Na ca hane bu teh koung nue e doeh. Hnin touh dawk shekel 20 touh han. Atueng kahmancalah na ca han.
11 Measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at regular times.
Tui hai koung nue tangcoung hoi na nei han. Hin buet touh hah taruk touh lah na kapek vaiteh, buet touh e hah na nei han.
12 You are to eat the bread as you would a barley loaf. You are to bake it over a fire burning dried human excrement as everyone watches.”
A mithmu roeroe vah ka ke e tami ei hoi na pâeng vaiteh, catun vaiyei ca lah na ca han telah ati.
13 Then the Lord said, “This is the way the Israelites will eat their unclean bread among the nations where I'll exile them.”
BAWIPA ni het patet lae bu kakhin e heh Isarel catounnaw ni ka pâleinae ram dawk a ca awh han telah ati.
14 “Please no, Lord God!” I answered. “I have never made myself unclean. I haven't eaten anything found dead or killed by wild animals from the time I was young until now. I've never put unclean meat in my mouth.”
Hatnavah kai ni aya! Bawipa Jehovah awm ei, ka hringnae heh kakhin sak boi mahoeh. Ka nawca hoi atu totouh amahmawk kadout e thoseh, sarang ni a kei e thoseh, ka cat boihoeh. Panuet ka tho e moi ka kâko dawk ka kâen sak hoeh telah ka ti.
15 “All right,” he said. “I'll let you use cow manure instead of human excrement You can bake your bread over a fire using that.”
Hat navah, ahni ni khenhaw! tami ei yueng lah maito ei na poe awh. Na ca hane teh maito ei ka ke e hoi na sak han telah ati.
16 Then he went on, “Son of man, watch! I am going to put a stop to Jerusalem's food supply. Worried sick, they will eat bread rationed by weight. Despairing at what's happening, they will drink water measured in small amounts.
Hothloilah ahni ni, tami capa khenhaw! Jerusalem vah hringnae akungtuen lah kaawm e bu ka raphoe vaiteh, a rawca koung nue pouh lahoi, ngaihri lahoi a ca han, tui hai koung nue pouh vaiteh, ngaihri lahoi a nei a han.
17 Running out of food and water, they will be horrified as they look at one another wasting away because of their sins.”
Tui hoi bu vout laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpanuet awh teh, a yon awh kecu dawkvah, koung a kahma awh han telah ati.
