Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
kami capa, hmuen patahhaih maeto sah ah loe, Israel imthung takoh khaeah patahhaih lok to thui ah,
3 And say, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Pakhraeh tha kaom parai, pakhraeh kasawk, amui kapop, rong congca kaom tahmu maeto loe Lebanon ah angzoh moe, Sidar thing tanghang to a koeng;
4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
anih loe kasang koek tadok to takoih moe, hmuenmae zawhhaih prae ah azawk haih, hmuenmae zawhhaih vangpui ah a thling.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
Prae thung ih amuu to a lak moe, kahoih long ah et pacoengah, kapop tui taeng ih akung baktiah a ohsak.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Amprawk moe, a qoeng tahang pacoengah, kahnaem ah amzam misurkung ah angcoeng, tanghangnawk loe tahmu angmah ohhaih bangah angqoi o, toe a ohhaih tlim ah tangzun to sak pongah, misurkung ah angcoeng, tanghangnawk to cawnh moe, tadok tacawt o.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
Toe to ahmuen ah amui kapop, pakhraeh thacak, kalen parai kalah tahmu maeto oh toeng; khenah, misurkung loe angmah ahmuen ah tahmu khae hoi tui hak thai hanah, anih ohhaih bangah tangzun to caeh moe, tanghangnawk doeh anih ohhaih bangah amzam.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
Tanghangnawk to tacawt moe, athaih pacoengah, kahoih parai misurkung ah angcoeng thai hanah, kahoih long hoi tui pophaih ahmuen ah a thling, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, To baktih misurkung loe hoih tangtang tih maw? Anih mah tangzun to aphong ueloe, athai pakhrik boih pacoengah, misurkung loe azaem ving mak ai maw? Aqamnawk zai boih moe, tangzunnawk aphong pacoengah loe, vah hanah thacak kami hoi kami pop angai mak ai boeh.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
Ue, khenah, misurkung to thling let cadoeh hoih tang tih maw? Ni angzae bang ih takhi mah hmuh naah azaem ving mak ai maw? Anih loe amprawkhaih ahmuen ah azaem ving tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
laisaep karah imthung takoh khaeah, Hae hmuennawk thuikoehhaih hae na panoek ai maw? tiah thui paeh. Nihcae khaeah, Khenah, Babylon siangpahrang loe Jerusalem ah caeh moe, Judah siangpahrang hoi angraengnawk to naeh pacoengah, Babylon ah caeh haih ving;
13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
anih loe siangpahrang ih caanawk to kawk moe, angmah hoi lokmaihaih a sak pacoengah, anih khaeah lokkamhaih a saksak; prae thung ih thacak zaehoikungnawk doeh anih mah naeh moe, caeh haih:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
to pongah to prae loe azaem tathuk, angthawk let thai ai boeh; toe a lokmaihaih pazui naah ni angdoe thai tih.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
Toe siangpahrang mah anih ih lok to aek moe, hrangnawk, kaminawk to paek let hanah angmah ih laicaehnawk to Izip prae ah patoeh. To hmuen loe angcoeng thai tang tih maw? To baktih hmuen sah kami loe loih tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe lokmaikhaih phrae kami to loih tih maw?
16 As I live, saith the Sovereign YHWH, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ka hing baktiah, anih han siangpahrang ah sahkung, siangpahrang lokkamhaih to aek moe, lokmaihaih to phraek pongah, anih loe siangpahrang ohhaih ahmuen Babylon vangpui thungah dueh tih.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
Faro siangpahrang loe kaminawk hum hanah thacak misatuh kaminawk, paroeai kaminawk hoi vangpui sipae to sak moe, misa abuephaih imnawk to sah cadoeh misatuk pazawk mak ai:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
Jerusalem siangpahrang loe lokmaihaih to patoek moe, lokkamhaihaih a phraek, khenah, lokmaihaih ah a ban to paek boeh, toe hae baktih hmuennawk boih a sak pongah, loih mak ai, tiah thuih.
19 Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ka hing baktiah, anih mah ka lokkamhaih to patoek moe, ka lokkamhaih a phraek baktih toengah, anih lu nuiah ka kraksak tangtang han.
20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
Anih han palok ka payang pae moe, thaang pongah ka mansak han, kai khaeah oep kaom ah khosah ai, zaehaih a sak pongah, anih to Babylon ah ka hoih moe, to ah lok ka caek han, tiah thuih.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I YHWH have spoken it.
Anih khae hoi kacawn kaminawk hoi misatuh kaminawk loe sumsen hoi dueh o tih, anghmat kaminawk loe takhi songhaih ahmuen kruekah amhet o phang tih; to naah Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
22 Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kaimah roe sidar thing tadong nui ih tadok to ka lak moe, ka thling han; tadong ih tadok kanawknawk to ka khaeh moe, ahmuen kamtueng maesang nuiah ka thling han.
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
Israel maesang nuiah ka thling han; to naah tanghangnawk to tacawt o tih, athaih athai o ueloe, kahoih parai sidarkung ah angcoeng o tih: van ih tavaa congcanawk loe, to thingkung tlim hoi tanghangnawk tahlip ah abuep o tih, tiah thuih.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have spoken and have done it.
Taw ih thingkungnawk boih mah, Kai, Angraeng mah kasang parai thing to ahnaemsak moe, kahnaem thing to sangsak boeh, kahing thing to angqosak moe, angqo thing to hingsak boeh, tito panoek o tih; Kai, Angraeng loe thuih ih lok baktiah ka sak han, tiah thuih.
