< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
tami capa napui e ca roi kahni touh
3 And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
Izip ram vah a kâyo roi teh, a nawca hoi a kâyo roi toe, hatdawkvah a sanu hah a pânam pouh awh teh, a tanglanae banglahai noutna awh hoeh.
4 And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
Kacuehnawn e min teh Oholah, a nawngha teh Oholibah doeh. Kaie lah ao awh teh napui tongpa hah a khe awh. A min lah Oholah teh Samaria tami doeh, Oholibah teh Jerusalem doeh.
5 And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
Oholah teh kaie lah ao hnukkhu a kâyo teh, a lungpataw e a imri Assiria teh a noe.
6 Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
Hnipaling hoi kamthoup e ukkung hoi lawkcengkungnaw, a pahren e thoundounnaw, Marangransanaw marangnaw dawk kâcuinaw hah,
7 And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
hete Assiria thoundoun kahawi pueng koevah, a kâyo teh a mit hoi a nôe e meikaphawk koevah a kâkhinsak.
8 And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
A nawca hoi a sanu a pânam pou teh a ikhai awh dawkvah, Izip lahoi a kâyo e hah kâhat hoeh. Ahnimouh ni hai a cuk awh nahanelah, a lathueng vah lungkhuek ati nahanelah a hno awh.
9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
A pahren teh mit ni a nôe e, Assiria kut roeroe dawkvah ka man sak.
10 They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
Hetnaw ni caici lah ao nahan angki a rading pouh, a canu hoi a capanaw a la pouh. Ama haiyah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, napuinaw thung dawk kamthang poung e lah ao. A lathueng vah lawkceng e patetlah a kuep sak.
11 And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
A nawngha Oholibah ni hetheh a hmu. Hateiteh, a hmau hlak hai noenae hoe a len, a kâyonae hai a hmau hlak vah hoe a nut.
12 She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
Assirianaw e imri ram kaukkungnaw hoi, lawkcengkung ngai han kaawm e thoundoun, Marangransanaw marang van kâcuinaw, kahawipoung lah kamthoup e hah a mit hoi a noe.
13 And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
A khin e hah ka hmu, kahni touh hoi lamthung rei kâvan e a dawn awh.
14 And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
Hateiteh, a kâyonae hoe a nut sak teh, tongpa meikaphawk rapan dawk kamnuek e Khaldeannaw e meilam, paling e lahoi kamthoup e,
15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
a keng dawk taisawm kâyeng e, a lû dawk a pei lupawk kâmuk e, siangpahrang e mei koung ka lat e, Khaldean ram a tâconae ram, Babilonnaw patetlah a hmu.
16 And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
Ahnimouh a hmu awh tahma tang a ngai awh teh, ahnimouh koe Khaldean totouh patounenaw a patoun.
17 And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
Babilonnaw hah ahni koevah napui tongpa yonnae ikhun dawk a tho awh teh, a cuknae lahoi a khin sak awh teh, amahoima panuettho e lah be a kangcoung sak awh teh a khin awh.
18 And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
Hottelah hoi a kâyonae a kamnue sak teh, caici lah onae hah a kamnue sak, a hmau ka panuet e patetlah a nawngha hai ka panuet van.
19 And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
Hatei, a naw lahunnae Izip ram dawk a kâyo awh e hah pahnim pouh hoeh, hoehoe a kâyo awh.
20 And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
Hahoi kaipkhainaw e a tak teh la e tak patetlah a yangtui teh marang e yangtui doeh toe.
21 You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
Hettelah na nawca nah na cuknae, Izipnaw ni na sanu a pânam pouh e hah bout na pouk rah.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
Hatdawkvah Oe Oholibah, hettelah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Khenhaw! kayonkhaikung, na lungthin hoi na maithoe e hah ka coun vaiteh, a hmuen tangkuem koehoi ka tho sak vaiteh, na tuk sak han.
23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
Babilon, Khaldean, Pekod, Shoa, hoi Koa hoi ahnimouh koe kaawm e Assirianaw hoi, abuemlahoi ngai ka tho poung e thoundoun, ukkung hoi lawkcengkung, bawi hoi tami a min kamthang abuemlahoi marang dawk kâcui laihoi a tho awh han.
24 And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
Tarantuknae puengcang, tarantuknae leng, leng hoi tamihupui hoi, a tuk awh han. Saiphei kalen kathoung sumluhuemnaw hoi, ahnimouh koe lawkcengnae hah ka poe han. Lawk a ceng awh e boiboe lah nange lathueng a kuep sak han.
25 And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
Nang e lathueng utnae hah kamnue sak e lahoi, ka hring e hah tahloi hoi a due awh han. Na canu na capa naw hoi na lawp awh han, a hring nah thung hmai ni a kak awh han.
26 And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
Na khohna hah na rading pouh awh vaiteh, na kamthoupnae kahawi poung e hah koung na la pouh awh han.
27 And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
Na cuknae hoi Izip ram hoi na kâyonae hah na kâhat sak han. Hottelah ahnimouh koe lah na mit na hrueng mahoeh toe. Izip ram teh na pâkuem mahoeh toe.
28 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni, hettelah a dei khenhaw! na hmuhma poung e, na lungthin dawk hoi na hmuhma e naw kut dawk na man sak han.
29 And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
Na hmuhma katang awh han. Na tawk awh e a pawhiknaw hah, na la pouh awh han. Caici lah na hruek awh han, na kâyonae caici lah, na cuknae hoi na kâyonae hah kamnue sak e lah ao han.
30 To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
Hete hnonaw heh nange lathueng a pha han. Alouke miphun koehoi na kâyo teh a meikaphawknaw dawk na kâkhinsak dawkvah,
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
na hmau e lamthung na dawn. Hatdawkvah, a neinae manang hah na kut dawk na poe han telah a ti.
32 Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Na hmau e a neinae manang kalenpounge thung hoi na nei vaiteh, pacekpahleknae hoi panuikhai e lah na o han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote manang dawk moikapap a kâen dawkvah.
33 You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
Yamuhrinae hoi lungmathoenae hoi na kawi vaiteh, kângairunae hoi rawknae, na hmau Samaria e manang hoi he na nei han.
34 And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
Na nei vaiteh be na yawn han. Manang na kâbang sak vaiteh, a sanu hah hawng pouh han, bangkongtetpawiteh kai ni ka dei toe telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
35 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
Hatdawkvah Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Kâ na poe na hnin teh na kamlang takhai dawkvah, na cuknae hoi na kâyonae phu hah na phu hanelah ao.
36 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
Hothloilah BAWIPA ni kai koe lawk bout na dei pouh, tami capa Oholah hi Oholibah teh lawk na ceng han na maw. Panuet a thonae hah ahnimouh koe na pâpho han.
37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a uicuk awh, a thi hah a kut dawk a kâhluk teh, amamae meikaphawk koe a kâyo awh. Kai hanelah a khe e a capanaw hah, ahnimouh koe hmaisawi thueng hanelah a poe awh.
38 Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
Hothloilah kai koe hetheh a sak awh, ahnimouh ni ka min kathoung hah a khin sak awh teh, kaie sabbath hai a tapoe awh.
39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Amamae meikaphawk hanelah a canaw a thei awh hnukkhu, a mamanaw letlang hah, kaie hmuen kathoung kamhnawng sak hanelah a kâen awh. Khenhaw, hettelah ka imthung roeroe vah ouk a sak awh.
40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
Hat dueng nahoeh rah, kho hlanae koe kaawm e hah a tho nahan lawk na thui awh teh, patoune hah na patoun awh. Khenhaw a tho awh teh, ahnimouh kecu dawk na kamhluk teh, na mit dawk puk na hluk teh, aphunphun lah kamthoupnae hoi na kamthoup.
41 And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
Kahawi e tahungnae dawk na tahung teh, a hmalah caboi na hung teh hmuitui hoi satui hah hote hmuen koe na pâhung.
42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
A nawmnae lahoi taminaw a hramnae hai ka thai. Alouke taminaw hoi kahrawng hoi rei a tho awh teh, a kut dawk laikaw, a lû dawk kahawipoung e bawilakhungnaw a kâmuk, yamu ka parui e hai a thokhai awh.
43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
Kai ni ka uicuk tangcoung e napui hah a yonkhai ngai awh han na maw telah ka ti.
44 And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
Kâyawtnaw koe a cei awh toteh, ahnimouh koe mingming doeh a kâen awh. Hottelah ka cuk e napui Oholah hoi Oholibah koe a kâen awh.
45 As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
Hateiteh, tamikalan ni ka uicuk e hoi kaawm e napui hoi ka tami ka thet e napui lawkceng e patetlah lawk a ceng awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka uicuk e hoi kaawm e a kâbet.
46 For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nangmouh taran e lahoi tamihu hah ka coun han. Na lawp awh vaiteh, ka patawpoung lah na katin sak han.
47 And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
Hahoi kamkhueng e tamihu ni talung hoi na dei awh han. Tahloi hoi na bouk awh vaiteh, a canunaw hoi a capanaw a thei awh han. A imnaw hai hmai be a sawi pouh.
48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
Napuinaw pueng ni, cuknae hah sak hane nahoeh tie a panue thai awh nah, het patetlah cuknae hah ram thung hoi ka pahma han.
49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
Namamae lathueng na cuknae hah a moi na pathung awh vaiteh, meikaphawk yonnae hah na khan awh han. Hahoi kai heh Bawipa Jehovah lah ka o tie na panue awh han telah a ti.
