< Ezekiel 4 >

1 "You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
Nang hlang capa namah loh laiboeng lo lamtah namah mikhmuh ah tloeng laeh. A soah Jerusalem khopuei te tarhit laeh.
2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
A taengah vong khueh pah lamtah a taengah buep khueh pah. A taengah tanglung khueng lamtah a taengah rhaehhmuen khueh. A kaepvai te maehdoelh khueh pah.
3 Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Te phoeiah namah loh thi thiphael te namah ham lo lamtah namah laklo neh khopuei laklo ah thi pangbueng la khueh. Te vaengah na maelhmai te a taengla hoi pah. Vongup ah a om bangla la khopuei te na dum bitni. He miknoek he Israel imkhui ham ni.
4 "Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
Te phoeiah nang te banvoei kah na vae neh yalh lamtah Israel imkhui kathaesainah te a soah tloeng pah. A soah na yalh khohnin tarhing ah amih kathaesainah te na phueih ni.
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Amih kathaesainah kum tarhing bangla nang te kan tueih tih khohnin ya thum neh hnin sawmko ah Israel imkhui kathaesainah te na phueih van ni.
6 "Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
Te rhoek te na coeng van neh na vae bantang dongah yalh lamtah Judah imkhui kathaesainah te khohnin la hnin sawmli phueih pah. A kum la kum ham te hnin at ni nang kan tueih.
7 You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
Te phoeiah Jerusalem vong la na maelhmai hooi lamtah na ban te khawn lamtah, a taengah tonghma pah.
8 Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
Te vaengah nang dongah rhuivaeh kang khih ni ne. Te dongah na vongup kah khohnin na poeng hill na vae khat ben lamloh na vae khat ben duela na hoi uh thai mahpawh.
9 "Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
Te phoeiah namah loh namah ham cang neh cangtun, maidawn neh rhacik, malket neh cangkuem khaw lo ne. Te te amrhaeng pakhat dongah pae uh lamtah na vae neh na yalh khohnin tarhing ah na buh la te te khueh. Khohnin ya thum sawmko khuiah te te ca.
10 Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
Na caak te khaw a khiing la shekel pakul mah ca. A khohnin ham te a tue, a tue vaengah ca.
11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
Tui khaw khoe dongah bunang parhuk o lamtah a tue a tue vaengah o.
12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."
Cangtun buh te na caak vaengah hlang kah natcaeh aek neh amih mikhmuh ah hai.
13 YHWH said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Israel ca he tlam ni a buh rhalawt te a caak uh eh. Amih tenamtom taengah pahoi ka heh ni,” a ti.
14 Then I said, "Ah Lord YHWH. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
Tedae, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, ka hinglu he maehrhok saha neh a poeih vai moenih ne. Ka camoe lamloh tahae hil ka ca vai pawt tih maeh khaw ka ka ah dikyik dikyak ka a kun moenih,” ka ti nah.
15 Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."
Te vaengah kai te “Ana so, hlang aek yueng la vaito aek ni nang taengah aek la kam paek vetih na buh te a soah tawn,” a ti.
16 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
Te phoeiah kai te, “Hlang capa aw, Jerusalem kah thahuelnah buh te ka bawt pah coeng. Te dongah buh te amah tarhing ah mawnnah neh a caak uh vetih tui te khoe dongah a maehmanah neh a ok uh ni.
17 that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
Buh neh tui a vaitah vetih hlang neh a manuca pong ni. Te vaengah amamih kathaesainah dongah muei uh ni.
