Ezekiel 20
1 And in the seuenth yeere, in the fift moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, came certaine of the elders of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and sate before me.
A kum rhih dongkah a hla nga nah hnin rha dongah a pha vaengah Israel a hamca khuikah hlang rhoek tah BOEIPA dawt ham ha pawk uh tih ka mikhmuh ah ngol uh.
2 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,
3 Sonne of man, speake vnto the Elders of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye come to enquire of me? as I liue, sayth the Lord God, when I am asked, I wil not answer you.
“Hlang capa Israel a hamca rhoek te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Kai dawt ham na pawk nama? Kai hingnah he nangmih ham kan dawt sak mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
4 Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers,
“Amih te lai na tloek aya? Hlang capa aw lai na tloek aya? A napa rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te amih ming sak.
5 And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God,
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Israel ham ka coelh khohnin ah Jakob imkhui kah a tiingan te ka kut ka phuel. Egypt khohmuen ah amih te ka ming sak coeng. Te vaengah amih taengah ka kut ka phuel tih, ‘Kai tah BOEIPA na Pathen ni,” ka ti nah.
6 In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands,
Te khohnin ah Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih doek ham amih te ka kut ka phuel pah. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen neh khohmuen pum kah a kirhang khaw amih ham ka yaam pah.
7 Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.
Te dongah amih te thui pah. Hlang he a mik kah sarhingkoi te voei saeh lamtah Egypt mueirhol neh poeih uh boel saeh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni.
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt.
Tedae kai he n'koek uh tih kai taengkah he hnatun ham a huem uh moenih. Hlang he a mik kah sarhingkoi te voei pawt tih Egypt mueirhol te a hnoo uh moenih. Te dongah ni amih soah ka kosi hawk ham neh Egypt khohmuen khui kah amih taengah ka thintoek sah ham ka thui.
9 But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt.
Tedae ka ming ham ka saii dongah namtom mikhmuh ah ka poeih sak pawh. Te rhoek lakli ah khaw amih ham tah amamih mikhmuh ah ka phoe pah tih Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih kang khuen.
10 Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes.
Te vaengah amih te Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka khuen uh tih amih te khosoek la ka thak.
11 And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them.
Amih taengah ka khosing ka paek tih ka laitloeknah te amih ka ming sak. Te te aka vai hlang daeng ni te nen te a hing eh.
12 Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them.
Ka Sabbath te khaw kamah laklo neh amih laklo ah miknoek la om ham neh, BOEIPA kamah loh amih ka ciim te ming sak ham amih taengah ka paek.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them,
Tedae Israel imkhui loh khosoek ah kai he n'koek uh. Ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawt tih ka laitloeknah he a hnawt uh. Te te aka vai hlang tah te nen te hing ni. Ka Sabbath he poeng a poeih uh. Te dongah ni ka kosi he amih soah hawk ham neh khosoek ah amih khah ham ka thui.
14 But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.
Tedae ka ming ham ka saii dongah ni namtom mikhmuh ah a poeih pawh. Te rhoek mikhmuh lamloh amih te ka khuen.
15 Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes,
Te phoeiah khohmuen khuila amih a kun pawt ham khosoek ah amih te ka kut ka phuel thil van. Khohmuen tom kah a kirhang neh suktui khoitui aka long te ka paek dae ta.
16 Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.
Ka laitloeknah te a hnawt uh tih ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawh. A lungbuei te a mueirhol hnuk a vai sak uh dongah ka Sabbath te a poeih uh.
17 Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes.
Tedae amih a poci lamloh amih te ka mik loh a rhen tih amih te khosoek kah a bawtnah ah ka khueh pawh.
18 But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles.
A ca rhoek te khosoek ah, ‘Na pa rhoek kah oltlueh dongah pongpa uh boel lamtah amih kah laitloeknah te ngaithuen uh boeh. Amih kah mueirhol nen khaw poeih uh boeh.
19 I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them,
Kai BOEIPA na Pathen kah ka khosing dongah pongpa uh. Ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen lamtah te te vai uh.
20 And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.
Te dongah ka Sabbath he ciim lamtah kai laklo neh nangmih laklo ah miknoek la om saeh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA na Pathen la nan ming uh ham om.
21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes.
Tedae a ca rhoek loh kai he n'koek uh tih ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawh. Ka laitloeknah te vai ham ngaithuen uh pawh. Te te aka vai hlang tah te nen te hing van ni. Ka Sabbath te a poeih uh. Te dongah ni amih soah ka kosi hawk ham neh amih te khosoek ah ka thintoek sah thil ham ka thui.
22 Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth.
Tedae ka kut he ka yueh tih ka ming ham ka saii dongah namtom mikhmuh ah poeih uh pawh. Amih te te rhoek mikhmuh lamloh ka khuen.
23 Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys,
Namtom taengah amih taekyak ham neh diklai ah amih haeh ham khosoek ah amih te ka kut ka phuel thil bal.
24 Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles.
Ka laitloeknah he vai uh pawt tih ka khosing te a hnawt uh. Ka Sabbath he a poeih uh tih amih mik loh a napa rhoek kah mueirhol hnukah a khueh uh.
25 Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue.
Kai khaw amih taengah oltlueh ka paek dae then uh pawt tih tiktamnah neh hing uh pawh.
26 And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord.
A bung kah cacuek boeih te a doe vaengah amih kah kutdoe lamloh amamih te ka poeih sak. Amih te ka pong sak daengah ni BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh eh.
27 Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me.
Te dongah hlang capa aw Israel imkhui te voek. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Kai he na pa rhoek loh n'hliphen uh tih boekoeknah la kai taengah boe a koek uh.
28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.
Amih te paek ham ka kut ka phuel thil khohmuen khuila amih te ka khuen. Te vaengah a sang la a hmuh som boeih neh thing bu boeih taengah amih kah hmueih te pahoi a ngawn uh. Tedae amih konoinah te nawnnah la hnap a paek uh tih a hmuehmuei botui te hnap a khueh uh daengah amih kah tuisi te a doeng uh.
29 Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day.
Te dongah amih te, “Balae hmuensang la na mop thil uh te,’ ka ti nah. Tedae a ming te tahae khohnin due Bamah la a khue.
30 Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations?
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui te thui pah. Na pa longpuei ah na poeih uh tih amih kah sarhingkoi hnukah na cukhalh uh nama?
31 For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked.
Nangmih kah hmai te na ca rhoek paan sak ham na kutdoe na tloeng uh tih mueirhol cungkuem neh tihnin due na poeih uh. Israel imkhui nangmih long nim kai na dawt eh? Nangmih te kan dawt sak mahpawh. Kai hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
32 Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone.
Thing neh lungto bawk ham namtom neh diklai huiko bangla om sih tila nangmih te na lungbuei ah kun cakhaw om rhoe om mahpawh.
33 As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
Kai tah hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Tlungluen kut neh ban ka thueng tih kosi ka hawk neh nangmih kan manghai thil het mahpawt nim?
34 And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
Nangmih te pilnam lamloh kang khuen vetih diklai lamloh nangmih te kan coi ni. Amih lakli ah tlungluen kut neh n'taekyak tih bantha a thueng phoeiah ni kosi neh ka hawk thil.
35 And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face.
Pilnam kah khosoek la nangmih te kang khuen vetih nangmih te na maelhmai, maelhmai ah lai kan tloek ni.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God.
Egypt khohmuen kah khosoek ah na pa rhoek lai ka tloek thil bangla nangmih soah lai ka tloek ni. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
37 And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant.
Nangmih te mancai hmuiah kam pah sak vetih paipi kah pinnah khuila nangmih kam pawk puei ni.
38 And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Kai aka tloelh tih boe aka koek thil te nangmih lamloh ka kuet ni. A lampahnah khohmuen lamloh amih ka khuen cakhaw Israel khohmuen la kun mahpawh. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah he nan ming uh bitni.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles.
Te dongah nangmih Israel imkhui ham ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Hlang te a mueirhol paan saeh lamtah thothueng ngawn saeh. Tedae a hnukah kai ol na hnatun uh ngawn mahpawh. Te cakhaw ka ming cim he na kutdoe neh, na mueirhol neh koep na poeih uh mahpawh.
40 For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things.
He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Israel tlang sang kah ka tlang cim dongah diklai tom kah Israel imkhui tom loh kai m'bawk uh ni. Teah te amih ka doe vetih nangmih kah khosaa neh nangmih buham thaihcuek khaw, nangmih kah hnocim boeih te khaw ka toem ni.
41 I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen.
Nangmih te hmuehmuei botui la kan moeithen vaengah tah nangmih te pilnam rhoek lamloh kang khuen tih nangmih te diklai lamloh kan coi. Amih taengah n'taekyak cakhaw namtom mikhmuh kah nangmih lakli ah ka ciim uh bitni.
42 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande to giue it to your fathers.
Israel khohmuen khuila nangmih kam pawk puei vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni. Te khohmuen te ni na pa rhoek taengah paek ham ka kut ka phuel thil.
43 And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed.
Te vaengah na longpuei neh na khoboe rhamlang boeih te pahoi na poek uh bitni. Te loh m'poeih uh dongah nangmih kah boethae cungkuem na saii uh te khaw nangmih maelhmai te na ko-oek uh ni.
44 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Aka poci Israel imkhui aw nangmih kah boethae longpuei tarhing ah pawt tih na khoboe rhamlang bangla ka ming ham nangmih kan saii vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
45 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
46 Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South,
“Hlang capa aw, na maelhmai tuithim longpuei la mael lah. Tuithim te saep lamtah tuithim khohmuen kah duup te tonghma thil lah.
47 And say to the forest of the South, Heare the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall deuoure all the greene wood in thee, and all the drie wood: the continuall flame shall not bee quenched, and euery face from the South to the North shall be burnt therein.
Tuithim duup te thui pah lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui BOEIPA ol he hnatun saeh. Nangmih taengah hmai ka hlup vetih nangmih kah thing a thingsup boeih neh thing koh boeih te a hlawp ni. Hmairhong hmaisai khaw thi pawt vetih tuithim lamloh tlangpuei duela maelhmai boeih te rhangto uh ni.
48 And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched.
BOEIPA kamah loh ka toih tih a thih pawt te pumsa loh boeih a hmuh uh ni,” a ti.
49 Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?
Te dongah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw amih loh kai he, ‘Anih te thuidoeknah neh aka thuidoek pawt nim?’ a ti uh,” ka ti.
