Ezekiel 20
1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Saning sarihto haih, khrah pangato thung ih ni hato naah, Angraeng to dueng hanah, thoemto Israel kacoehtanawk angzoh o moe, ka hmaa ah anghnut o.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
3 'Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Are ye come to inquire of Me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
kami capa, kacoehta Israel caanawk khaeah na thuih pae han ih lok loe, Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih: Kai lokdueng hanah maw nang zoh o? Kai ka hing baktiah, lok nang dueng o thai mak ai, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
Kami capa, nihcae lokcaek han na koeh maw? Nihcae to lok na caek han maw? Nihcae ampanawk mah sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk to panoeksak ah:
5 and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up My hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up My hand unto them, saying: I am the LORD your God;
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Israel ka qoih na niah, Jakob imthung takoh ih caanawk khaeah ban ka phok moe, lokkamhaih ka sak pacoengah Izip prae ah nihcae khaeah kam tueng pae, ban ka phok moe, nihcae khaeah, Kai loe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
6 in that day I lifted up My hand unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had sought out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;
To na niah Izip prae hoiah ka zaeh moe, nihcae han ka qoih pae ih prae boih pong kahoih koek, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae ah kang caeh o haih han, tiah nihcae khaeah ban phok hoiah lokkamhaih to ka sak.
7 and I said unto them: Cast ye away every man the detestable things of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.
To pacoengah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae boih mah na khet o ih panuet thok hmuennawk to takhoe o boih ah loe, Izip prae ih krangnawk hoiah amhnong o hmah; Kai loe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a thuih, tiah ka naa.
8 But they rebelled against Me, and would not hearken unto Me; they did not every man cast away the detestable things of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them, to spend My anger upon them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Toe nihcae mah kai to misa ah suek o, ka lok tahngai o ai; mi mah doeh mik hoiah sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk, Izip prae ih krangnawk to toeng o ai; to pongah Izip prae ah nihcae khae palungphuihaih koepsak hanah, nihcae nuiah palungphuihaih to ka kraih han, tiah ka poek.
9 But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made Myself known unto them, so as to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt.
To langlacadoeh Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah ka hmin sethaih thuih han ai ah, nihcae ohhaih prae ih kaminawk boih hmaa ah Israel caanawk khaeah kam tueng pae moe, nihcae to Izip prae thung hoiah ka tacawt haih.
10 So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Nihcae to Izip prae thung hoiah ka tacawtsak moe, praezaek ah ka hoih.
11 And I gave them My statutes, and taught them Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
Nihcae khaeah zaehhoihaih lok to ka paek moe, ka lokcaekhaihnawk to ka patuk, sah kami loe hing tih.
12 Moreover also I gave them My sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
Nihcae ciimsakkung loe Angraeng, Kai ni, tiah a panoek o hanah, Kai hoi nihcae salak angmathaih ah Ka Sabbath to ka paek.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they walked not in My statutes, and they rejected Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them, and My sabbaths they greatly profaned; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Toe Israel imthung takoh mah praezaek ah kai misa angthawk o thuih; sah kami mah hing hanah ka paek ih, Ka lokcaekhaihnawk to patoek o moe, ka patuk ih loknawk to pazui o ai; kai ih Sabbath doeh amhnong o sak; to pongah nihcae to paduek hanah, praezaek ah nihcae nuiah palungphuihaih ka kraih han, tiah ka poek.
14 But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Toe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah ka hmin sethaih thuih han ai ah, a oh o haih prae kaminawk boih hmaa ah Israel caanawk to Izip prae thung hoiah ka tacawt haih.
15 Yet also I lifted up My hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the beauty of all lands;
Toe nihcae han ka paek ih prae boih pong kahoih koek, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae ah ka caeh haih mak ai, tiah praezaek ah nihcae nuiah ban payangh hoiah lokkamhaih ka sak boeh;
16 because they rejected Mine ordinances, and walked not in My statutes, and profaned My sabbaths — for their heart went after their idols.
tipongah tih nahaeloe nihcae loe ka lokcaekhaihnawk patoek o moe, ka patuk ih loknawk to pazui o ai, kai ih Sabbath doeh amhnong o sak; a poek o haih palungthin doeh krangnawk bangah ni a suek o.
17 Nevertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Toe nihcae to ka tahmen pongah kang hmaasak ai, praezaek ah doeh ka duehsak ai.
18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness: Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols;
Praezaek ah a caanawk khaeah kai mah, Nam panawk patukhaih lok to pazui o hmah, nihcae lokcaekhaih doeh pakuem o hmah loe, a sak o ih krangnawk hoi doeh amhnong o hmah:
19 I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them;
Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; ka patuk ih lok to pazui oh, ka lokcaekhaihnawk to pakuem oh loe, sah oh.
20 and hallow My sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Nangcae hoi kai salakah angmathaih oh hanah, ka Sabbath ninawk to kaciim ah zaa oh; to naah Kai loe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah ang naa.
21 But the children rebelled against Me; they walked not in My statutes, neither kept Mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned My sabbaths; then I said I would pour out My fury upon them, to spend My anger upon them in the wilderness.
Toe a caanawk mah ka lok to aek o; sah kami loe hinghaih ah kaom, ka patuk ih loknawk to pazui o ai, ka lokcaekhaih doeh pakuem o ai, sah doeh sah o ai, kai ih Sabbathnawk to amhnong o sak; to pongah praezaek ah nihcae khaeah palungphuihaih ka koepsak hanah, palungphuihaih nihcae nuiah ka kraih han, tiah ka poek.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew My hand, and wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Toe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah ka hmin sethaih thuih han ai ah, ban ka zuh let moe, a oh o haih prae kaminawk boih hmaa ah Israel caanawk to ka tacawt haih.
23 I lifted up My hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kang haehsak phang moe, prae boih ah kam hetsak han tiah, nihcae khaeah ban ka phok moe, praezaek ah lokkamhaih to ka sak;
24 because they had not executed Mine ordinances, but had rejected My statutes, and had profaned My sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
tipongah tih nahaeloe nihcae loe am panawk ih krangnawk bangah mik padai o moe, ka lokcaekhaih to pazui o ai, ka patuk ih loknawk to patoek o moe, ka Sabbath doeh kaciim ah zaa o ai.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
To pongah kahoih ai lokcaekhaih hoi hinghaih kapaek ai lok takroekhaih to nihcae hanah ka paek boeh;
26 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they set apart all that openeth the womb, that I might destroy them, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah nihcae mah panoek o thai hanah, nihcae mah caa lu hoi hmai angbawnhaih a sak o naah, nihcae kam rosak hanah, nihcae mah angbawnhaih ah paek ih tangqumnawk to kam hnongsak.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed Me, in that they dealt treacherously with Me.
To pongah kami capa, Israel imthung takoh khaeah na thuih han ih lok loe Angraeng Sithaw mah, Hae pongah nam panawk mah kai kasae ang thuih o moe, ka koeh ai ih zaehaih to a sak o boeh.
28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I lifted up My hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering, there also they made their sweet savour, and there they poured out their drink-offerings.
Nihcae to ban phok moe, hmuen paek hanah lokkamhaih prae thungah ka caeh haih naah, maesang hoi kabuk thingnawk to a hnuk o naah, to ahmuen ah angbawnhaih to a sak o, kai palungphuisak hanah hmuen paekhaih to a sak o; hmuihoih to thlaek o moe, naek han koi hmuennawk to a kraih o, tiah thuih.
29 Then I said unto them: What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go? So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
To naah nihcae khaeah, Tih sak han ih maw hmuensang ah na caeh o? tiah ka naa. To hmuensang loe vaihni ni khoek to Bamah, tiah kawk o.
30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: When ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers, and go after their abominations,
To pongah Israel imthung takoh khaeah thuih han ih lok loe, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nam panawk mah sak o ih baktih toengah kamhnong hmuen to maw na sak o? Nihcae mah sak o ih panuet thok zaehaih hmuennawk to na sak o maw?
31 and when, in offering your gifts, in making your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, unto this day; shall I then be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you;
Tangqum paekhaih to na sak o, na capanawk to hmai angbawnhaih ah na paek o; vaihni ni khoek to krangnawk hoi nam hnong o vop pongah, Aw Israel imthung takohnawk, kai khaeah lok nang dueng o thai tih maw? Kai ka hing baktiah, nangcae mah lok nang dueng o thai mak ai, tiah thui ah, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah ang naa.
32 and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all; in that ye say: We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Nangcae mah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk baktiah, thing hoiah sak ih sithaw, thlung hoiah sak ih sithaw bok, prae kaminawk baktiah ka oh o han, tiah na poek o ih baktiah angcoeng thai mak ai.
33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I be king over you;
Kai ka hing baktiah, thacak ban, ban ka payangh moe, palungphuihaih kang kraih o thuih pacoengah, nangcae to kang uk han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;
Kaminawk salak hoiah kang zaeh o han, nam het o haih prae thung hoi thacak kaminawk ban thung hoiah kang zaeh o pacoengah, ban payangh moe, palungphui kraih thuihaih thung hoiah doeh kang tacuu o han.
35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Praezaek ah kaom congca kaminawk khaeah kang hoih o moe, to ah mikhmai kangtong ah lok kang caek o han.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
Nam panawk Izip praezaek ah lok ka caek baktih toengah, nangcae doeh lok kang caek o han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
Kaimah ih cunghet tlim ah kang caeh o sak moe, lokkamhaih thungah kang kun o sak han:
38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against Me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ka nuiah sethaih sah kaminawk, kai tuh kaminawk to nangcae salak hoiah ka tapraek moe, nihcae to a oh o haih prae thung hoiah ka tacawt haih han, toe nihcae loe Israel prae thungah akun o mak ai; to naah Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tito na panoek o tih.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD: Go ye, serve every one his idols, even because ye will not hearken unto Me; but My holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
Aw Israel imthung takoh, nangcae hanah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Caeh o boih ah loe, na bok o ih krangnawk hanah toksah pae oh! Ka lok na tahngai o ai cadoeh, akra ai ah na sin o ih tangqumnawk, krangnawk hoiah kai ih ciimcai ahmin to nam hnong o sak mak ai boeh.
40 For in My holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve Me in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings, and the first of your gifts, with all your holy things.
Tipongah tih nahaeloe kai ih kaciim mae, Israel maesang ah, Israel imthung takoh boih, prae thungah kaom kaminawk boih mah kai ih tok to sah o tih boeh; to ah nihcae to ka talawk moe, to ahmuen ah hmuen paekhaih, athai tangsuek, kahoih koek thingthainawk hoi ciimcai hmuennawk to kang talawk pae o boih han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
41 With your sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
Prae kaminawk salak hoiah kang zaeh o moe, nam het o haih prae congca thung hoiah kang pakhueng o let naah, na sin o ih hmuihoihnawk hoiah kang talawk o han, to naah loe nangcae rang hoiah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk hmaa ah ka ciimcaihaih to amtueng tih boeh.
42 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up My hand to give unto your fathers.
Ban ka payangh moe, nam panawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih Israel prae thungah kang caeh o haih naah, Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tiah na panoek o tih.
43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
To ah nangmacae ih tuinuen, na sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk to na panoek o boih tih boeh; to naah loe na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk boih to na panuet o tih.
44 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for My name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.'
Aw Israel imthung takoh, nangcae tuinuen sethaih hoi kasae toksakhaih pongah na ai ah, kaimah ih ahmin hanah nangcae nuiah hmuen ka sak naah, Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
45 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
46 'Son of man, set thy face toward the South, and preach toward the South, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;
kami capa, aloih bangah anghae ah, aloih bang misa tukhaih lok to thui ah loe, aloih bang prae ih taw khaeah misa tukhaih lok to taphong ah;
47 and say to the forest of the South: Hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree, it shall not be quenched, even a flaming flame; and all faces from the south to the north shall be seared thereby.
aloih bang prae ih taw khaeah, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh; Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, hmai hoi kang thlaek han boeh, nang ih kahing thing hoi kangqo thingnawk to kangh boih tih; hmai kangqong loe paduek thai mak ai, aloih bang hoi aluek bang khoek to long ah kaom hmuennawk to kangh boih tih.
48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.'
Hmai loe Kai Angraeng mah ni thlaek, tiah kaminawk boih mah hnu o tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
49 Then said I: 'Ah Lord GOD! they say of me: Is he not a maker of parables?'
To naah kai mah, Aw, Angraeng Sithaw! Nihcae mah, Hae kami loe patahhaih na ai maw a thuih, tiah na naa o mak ai maw? tiah ka naa.
