< Ezekiel 16 >
1 Again the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Hlang capa amah kah tueilaehkoi te Jerusalem ming sak.
3 And say, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem te, 'Namah tuikong neh na pacaboeina tah Kanaan kho kah tih, na pa te Amori, na nu khaw Khitti nu ni.
4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Na pacaboeina loh na om khohnin ah na yenrhui at pawt tih tui neh pakpak n'silh moenih, n'yut khaw n'yuut pawt tih n'yol khaw n'yol moenih.
5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
He khuiah pakhat khaw nang taengah saii ham vaengah a mik loh nang te n'rhen moenih. Nang soah thinphatnah ham lakah na om nah khohnin ah na hinglu tueilaehkap ham ni lohma li ah m'voeih.
6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
Na kaepah ka pah vaengah nang te namah thii neh na nok uh te ka hmuh. Te vaengah nang taengah, “Na thii dongah hing ne,” ka ti nah tih, “Nang te namah thii neh hing,” ka ti nah.
7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
Lohma thingdawn a pul bangla nang kang khueh. Te dongah na ping tih na pantai vaengah cangen lakah cangen la na poeh. Na rhangsuk khaw hmabuet tih na sam khaw sai. Tedae nang te pumtling neh yangyal la na om.
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Sovereign YHWH, and thou becamest mine.
Na taengah ka pah vaengah namah neh na tue hlo ngaih tue la kak kam hmuh. Te dongah ka hnihmoi te nang kang khuk thil tih na yah kan dah. Nang taengah ka toemngam tih nang te paipi khuila kan thoeng puei dongah ni kamah taengah na om. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
Namah tui neh kan hluk tih na pum dongkah na thii te kan silh. Te phoeiah nang te situi neh kan yuh.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
Nang te rhaekva kam bai sak tih saham pho ni nang kang khom sak. Hnitang neh nang kan yen tih puhimbai neh nang kan khuk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Nang te cangen kang oi sak tih na kut dongkah khungpak neh na rhawn kah oi khaw kam paek.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
Na hnarhong dongkah hnaii neh na hna dongkah hnathawn khaw na lu dongkah boeimang rhuisam khaw kam paek.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
Sui neh ngun na oi tih na hnicu khaw hnitang khuikah hnitang tah, puhimbai neh rhaekva ni. Vaidam neh khoitui neh situi te na caak na caak tih bahoeng, bahoeng na sawtthen dongah mangpa taengah na thaihtak.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Ka rhuepomnah he nang taengah a rhuemtuet la kam paek lamloh na sakthen neh na ming tah namtom taengah tueng coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Tedae na sakthen dongah na pangtung tih na ming dongah na cukhalh. Aka cet boeih soah na cukhalhnah na hawk tih anih ham khoeng a om pah.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Na himbai te na loh tih hmuensang te namah ham savawk la na saii. Amih sokah na cukhalh te phoe noek pawt tih om noek bal mahpawh.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
Namah taengah kam paek ka sui neh ka ngun te namah kah boeimang hnopai bangla na loh. Te phoeiah tongpa muei te namah ham na saii tih amih taengah na cukhalh.
18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
Himbai khaw namah kah rhaekva te na loh tih amih na khuk. Ka situi neh ka bo-ul te amih mikhmuh ah a tawn khaw na tawn mai.
19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Ka buh khaw namah ham kam paek tih vaidam neh situi neh khoitui te nang kan cah. Tedae amih mikhmuh ah na tawn pah tih hmuehmuei botui bangla om sumsoek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
Kai ham nan sak na canu na capa te na khuen tih caak la amih taengah na ngawn. Na cukhalhnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te yol a?
21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Ka ca rhoek te na ngawn tih amih taengah duek paan la amih te na paek.
22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
Namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem neh na cukhalhnah dongah na camoe tue vaengah pumtling neh yangyal la na om tih na thii dongah aka nok uh na om te na poek khaw na poek pawh.
23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Sovereign YHWH; )
Na boethae cungkuem hnukah ana om ngawn, anunae anunae nang aih te. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
Namah ham sawn na daep tih toltung takuem ah thaehhing na dawn.
25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
Longpuei longlu takuem ah na thaehhing na dawn, na sakthen na tuei tih aka cet boeih taengah na kho na kaa. Te vaengah na cukhlahnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te na kum.
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
Na imben Egypt ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh neh pumsa ah na boeilen. Kai veet ham ni na cukhalhnah te na ping sak.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Te dongah nang taengla ka kut ka thueng coeng he. Na khoboe khonuen rhamtat dongah ni na khotlueh te kam bim tih na hmaithae neh na lunguet hinglu, Philisti nu taengla nang kam voeih.
28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
Na cungnah a om pawt dongah Assyria ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh bal. Tedae amih taengah na cukhalh pataeng na hah bal moenih.
29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
Kanaan khohmuen kah Khalden taeng duela na cukhalhnah te na ping sak dae te nen pataeng na hah moenih.
30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Sovereign YHWH, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
Na ko tah tahah tangkik coeng. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Rhaidaeng la pumyoi nu kah khoboe he boeih na saii.
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
Longpuei tom kah longlu ah na sawn na daep. Na thaehhing te toltung takuem ah na dawn na dawn tih a paang aka soehsal ham pumyoi bangla na om rhoe na om moenih a?
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
Yuu loh samphaih tih a va yueng kholong te a doe.
33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
Pumyoi takuem taengah kutdoe a paek uh vaengah nang tah na kutdoe te nang aka ngaih sarhui taengah na paek. Na cukhalhnah dongah na kaepvai lamkah te namah taengla pawk ham kapbaih na paek.
34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
Te dongah nang kah cukhalhnah dongah namah taengah huta lamloh khuplat la om coeng. Nang hnukah aka cukhalh om pawh. Nang loh a paang na paek tih namah te a paang m'paek pawt dongah khuplat la na om coeng.
35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of YHWH:
Te dongah pumyoi aw BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.
36 Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na rhohum khaw na lun tih na ngaih taengah na cukhalhnah neh na yah na phen. Nang kah tueilaehkoi mueirhol cungkuem neh na ca thii te amih taengah na paek.
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
Te dongah na hlang ngaih boeih te ka coi coeng ne. Amih taengah na lungtui tih na lungnah boeih te khaw, na lunguet boeih te khaw a kaepvai lamloh amih te nang taengah kang kuk. Amih taengah na yah kam poelyoe vetih na yah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
Samphaih kah laitloeknah neh thii aka long sak nang te lai kan tloek ni. Te vaengah kosi neh thatlainah thii te nang soah kang khuen ni.
39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
Nang te amih kut ah kan paek vaengah tah na sawn han koengloeng vetih na thaehhing ham voeih ni. Nang te na himbai ham pit tih na boeimang hnopai han loh vaengah nang te pumtling neh yangyal la ng'khueh uh ni.
40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
Nang te hlangping neh m'paan thil vetih nang te lungto neh n'dae phoeiah a cunghang neh nang te m'poel uh ni.
41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
Na im te hmai neh a hoeh uh vetih nang sokah tholhphu te huta a yet kah mikhmuh ah n'saii uh ni. Te vaengah ni pumyoi lamloh nang kam paa sak vetih a paang khaw koep na paek pawt eh.
42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Nang soah ka kosi ka hong daengah ni nang taengkah ka thatlainah a nong eh. Te vaengah ka mong vetih hue ka sa voel mahpawh.
43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Sovereign YHWH: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
Na camoe tue te na poek la na poek pawt tih he boeih neh kai taengah na tlai. Te dongah kai khaw na khosing te na lu soah kam paek ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi boeih te khonuen rhamtat la saii rhoe saii boeh.
44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Nang kawng neh aka thuidoek boeih long ke a canu aka voek manu bangla a thuidoek ni.
45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Nang tah a va neh a ca rhoek aka tuei na manu canu ni. Nang tah a hlang neh a ca aka tuei na ngannu kah tanu ni. Na nu tah Khitti tih na pa te Amori ni.
46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Na tanu suiham Samaria khaw a canu neh nang kah banvoei ah om lah ko. Na tanu namah lakah a noe tah na bantang kah Sodom ah a canu neh om lah ko.
47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
Amih kah longpuei ah na pongpa bueng pawt tih amih taengkah tueilaehkoi te mikpalap ah valh na saii khaw na saii. Tedae na longpuei boeih dongah khaw amih lakah na poeih uh coeng.
48 As I live, saith the Sovereign YHWH, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Kai tah hingnah tite, ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Namah neh na canu kah na saii bang te na tanu Sodom neh a canu loh a saii noek moenih.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Na tanu Sodom kathaesainah la he ni aka om he. Buh coihdanah dongkah hoemdamnah he amah neh a canu taengah a mong la ommongnah a om pah. Tedae mangdaeng neh khodaeng kut tah a moem moenih.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Sang uh cakhaw ka mikhmuh ah tueilaehkoi ni a saii uh. Te dongah na hmuh bangla amih te ka saii.
51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
Samaria he nang kah tholhnah a loengboeng pataeng a tholh moenih. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi he amih lakah yet. Tedae namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem na saii na saii tih na tanu kah na tanu taengah khaw na tang van.
52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
Namah khaw na mingthae te phuei nawn. Na tanu ham na thangthui cakhaw na tholhnah neh amih lakah n'tuei coeng tih nang lakah tang uh. Te dongah namah khaw na tanu na tang sak dongah yak lamtah na mingthae phuei nawn.
53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
Tedae amih khuikah thongtla, Sodom thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, Samaria kah thongtla thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, amih lakli kah nangmih thongtla, thongtla te khaw koep ka mael puei.
54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
Te dongah amih na hloep vaengkah na saii boeih te na mingthae phuei lamtah na hmaithae saeh.
55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Na tanu Sodom khaw a canu neh amah hmuen la mael uh vetih Samaria neh a tanu rhoek khaw a muel la mael uh ni. Te vaengah nang neh na tanu rhoek khaw namah hmuen la na mael ni.
56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Na hoemdamnah khohnin vaengkah na ka lamkah olthang bangla na tanu Sodom khaw om mahpawt nim?
57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
Na boethae a hliphen tom vaengah Aram nu neh a kaepvai boeih kah Philisti nu rhoek kokhahnah tue vaengkah bangla a kaepvai ah nang n'hnaep uh.
58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith YHWH.
Nang kah khonuen rhamtat neh namah kah tueilaehkoi te namah loh phuei. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
59 For thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Paipi phae ham olcaeng na sawtsit dongah na saii bangla nang te kan saii rhoe kan saii ni.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
Tedae na camoe tue vaengkah nang taengkah ka paipi te ka poek vetih nang ham kumhal kah paipi ka thoh ni.
61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Te vaengah na longpuei te na poek vetih na hmaithae bitni. Na tanu namah lakah aka ham te na doe vaengah nang lakah tanoe ni tanu la nang taengah kam paek sitoe cakhaw na paipi dongkah mahpawh.
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am YHWH:
Ka paipi te nang taengah ka thoh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming bitni.
63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
Te daengah ni na poek vaengah na yak vetih na ka a ah la koep aom pawt eh. Na mingthae hman ah khaw na saii boeih dongah nang ham kan dawth coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
