Ezekiel 17
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
2 “Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use an allegory to the house of Israel,
tami capa Isarel imthung dawkvah pâveinae sak pouh haw, bangnuenae buet touh dei pouh.
3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that has diverse colors, Has come to Lebanon, And he takes the foliage of the cedar,
Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Mataw kalenpounge rathei kakawpoung e a tawn teh a rathei hmo kasawpoung e, a em kaawm ni teh a muen kathapoung e hah Lebanon mon dawk a kamleng teh Sidar thing e a donghmo hah a la.
4 He has cropped the top of its tender twigs, And he brings it to the land of Canaan. He has placed it in a city of merchants.
A kang dawk e a dawn kanaw poung e a khoe teh, tami hno kayawtnaw e ram dawk a kamlengkhai teh, hno yonae khopui dawkvah a ung.
5 And he takes of the seed of the land, And puts it in a field of seed, He took [it] by many waters, He has set it in a conspicuous place.
Haw e ram cati a tangawn hah a la teh, talai kahawi dawk a paw sak teh, tui moikapap a onae kongteng vah sumpakung patetlah a ung.
6 And it springs up, and becomes a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becomes a vine, and makes boughs, And sends forth beautiful branches.
A roung takhang teh misurkung abu ka rung poung e lah ao. A kangnaw teh mataw aonae koe lah a buk teh, ahnie rahim vah a tangpha ao, akangnaw hoi ka kuep e misurkung lah ao.
7 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And behold, this vine has bent its roots toward him, And it has sent out its thin shoots toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,
Hatei, kalenpounge mataw alouke bout ao. Kakawpoung e hoi katha poung e a muen hah a tawn van. Khenhaw! hete misur heh ahni koe lah a kung a yam, ahni hah tui hoi a awi thai nahanelah, a ungnae hmuen koehoi ahni koe lah a kang hah a yam.
8 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, to make branches, and to bear fruit, to be for a good vine.
A kang hah a tâco teh kahawipoung e misur lah ao thai nahan, tui moikapap e kongteng ung e lah ao.
9 Say, Thus said Lord YHWH: It prospers—does he not draw out its roots, And cut off its fruit, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withers, And not by great strength, or by numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. A hmacawn han na ou, a kamyai thai nahan, a tangpha hah kaduek pouh vaiteh, a paw hah khi han na maw, na hna ka dawn e pueng ni hai a kamyai han, a tangpha totouh ka duek hane, kalenpounge bahu hoi moikapap e tamihu a panki han na maw.
10 And behold, the planted thing—does it prosper? When the east wind comes against it, does it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withers.”
Khenhaw! ka ung nakunghai, a hmacawn thai han na maw, Kanîtholae kahlî ni a hmang toteh, koung ka kamyai han nahoehmaw, a pawnae hmuen dawk ka kamyai han tet pouh telah ati.
11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Hothloilah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
12 “Now say to the house of rebellion, Have you not known what these [are]? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, And he takes its king, and its princes, And brings them to himself to Babylon.
taran ka thaw e imthung koevah, dei pouh hete hno kaawm e heh panuek awh hoeh maw dei pouh, khenhaw! Babilon siangpahrang teh Jerusalem vah a tho teh, a siangpahrang hoi kacuenaw a man awh teh, Babilon vah a ceikhai awh.
13 And he takes of the seed of the kingdom, And makes a covenant with him, And brings him into an oath, And he has taken the mighty of the land,
A miphun thung e siangpahrang cati a man awh, lawkkamnae a sak khai awh teh, thama lahoi lawk a kam sak awh, ram dawk e athakaawmnaw koung a ceikhai awh.
14 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant—that it may stand.
A uknaeram hah a pabo teh a ma dueng lahoi a kangdue hoeh nahan, hatei a lawkkamnae hah caksak lahoi a kangdue thai nahan.
15 And he rebels against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and many people, Does he prosper? Does he who is doing these things escape? And has he broken covenant and escaped?
Hatei marang hoi tami moikapap ahni koe a poe thai nahan, Izip ram lah laicei patoun hanelah hoi a lathueng vah taran a thaw. A hmacawn han na ou, hot patetlae hno kasakkung ni teh a rungngang thai han na ou.
16 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Does he not—in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he has despised, And whose covenant he has broken—die with him in the midst of Babylon?
Kai ka hring e patetlah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Ka bawi poung e siangpahrang lah kasakkung khosaknae hmuen roeroe dawk thoe ka bo e hah bout a raphoe teh, a lawkkamnae hah a ek teh, ama koe roeroe vah Babilon vah a due han.
17 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly, Does Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mound, and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls.
Taran tuknae koe tami moikapap thei nahanelah monrui hoi rapan a sak nah hoi, Faro e athakaawm ransanaw hoi ka lentoe poung e tamihu ni hai banghai sak pouh thai mahoeh.
18 And he despised the oath—to break covenant, And behold, he has given his hand, And all these he has done—he does not escape.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkkamnae ek lahoi, thoebonae a raphoe, lawk a kâkam hnukkhu vah, hete hnonaw pueng bout a sak, hatdawkvah, hlout roeroe mahoeh.
19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—My oath that he has despised, And My covenant that he has broken, Have I not put it on his head?
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Kaie thoebonae a raphoe teh, ka lawkkamnae hah a ek. Kai kahring e patetlah ahni teh ka pathung roeroe han.
20 And I have spread out My snare for him, And he has been caught in My net, And I have brought him to Babylon, And judged him there [for the] trespass That he has trespassed against Me.
Tamlawk hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, kaie masi dawk a kâman han. Babilon vah ka ceikhai vaiteh, hawvah kâlawk eknae, kaie lathueng kâlawk a eknae roeroe dawk lawk ka ceng han.
21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, Fall by sword, and those remaining, They are spread out to every wind, And you have known that I, YHWH, have spoken.
Hahoi ahu thung hoi ka yawng e pueng hah tahloi hoi a due awh han, kacawie hah talai pout totouh a kâkahei awh han, hahoi kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe tie na panue awh han.
22 Thus said Lord YHWH: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], I crop a tender one from the top of its tender shoots, And I have planted [it] on a high and lofty mountain.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka rasang poung e Sidar dawn hah kai ni ka la vaiteh, ka ung han. A lungui e a dawn teh ka khoe vaiteh, kamnuek poung e mon ka rasang nah koevah ka ung han.
23 In a mountain—the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it has borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a good cedar, And every bird of every [kind of] wing has dwelt under it, They dwell in the shade of its thin shoots.
Isarel a rasangnae mon dawk ka ung han, a kang a cawn awh han. A paw a paw vaiteh, ka lentoe poung e Sidarkung lah ao han, a rahim vah tava phunkuep ni kho a sak vaiteh, a tâhlip rahim vah ao awh han.
24 And all trees of the field have known That I, YHWH, have made the high tree low, I have set the low tree on high, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, YHWH, have spoken, and have done [it]!”
Kahrawng e thingnaw ni kai BAWIPA ni ka rasang e thingkung ka rahnoum sak teh, ka rahnoum e thingkung hah ka rasang sak. Thing hring hah ka ke sak teh, thingke hah hluthlut kanaw sak tie hah a panue awh han. Kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe, sak hai ka sak toe telah ati.
