< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said unto me, —Son of man, Stand upon thy feet, that I may, speak with thee.
Hahoi, kai koe vah, tami capa na khok hoi kangdout nateh, nang koe lawk ka dei han telah ati.
2 Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spake unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, —and I heard one speaking unto me.
Kai koe lawk a dei lahun nah, Muitha ka thung vah a kâen. Ka khok hoi na kangdue sak teh kai koe lawk a dei e ka thai.
3 And he said unto me- Son of man I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, —they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, until this very day;
Kai koe vah tami capa nang teh taran na ka thaw e Isarel miphun, taran ka thaw e miphun, kai na ka hmuhma e miphun koe na patoun han. Amamouh hoi a na mintoenaw ni sahnin ditouh hawihoehnae lahoi kai na taran.
4 and it is unto such sons—of shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, —therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimanaw teh a lung ka patak e hoi dei ka ru poung e lah ao awh. Ahnimouh koe na patoun teh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei telah na ti han.
5 And they! whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for a perverse house, they are, shall then know that, a prophet, hath been in their midst.
Ahnimouh ni a tarawi hai thoseh, a tarawi hoeh hai thoseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw e imthung lah ao awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh koe profet ao tie a panue awh han.
6 But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!
Nang tami capa, ahnimouh taket hanh. A lawknaw ni hai takinae na poe hanh naseh. Nang koe vah pâkhing a phun phun hoi kâhmo nakunghai, aikamnaw koe kho na ka sak nakunghai, taran ka thaw e lah na kaawm awh nakunghai, ahnimae lawk taket awh hanh. A meilamnaw ni na taket sak awh hanh naseh.
7 Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!
A tarawi hai a tarawi hoeh nakunghai thoseh, ahnimouh koe kaie ka lawk na dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taran ka thaw awh e doeh.
8 Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, —open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.
Hatei, nang tami capa nang koe ka dei lawk ngai haw. Taran ka thaw e imthung patetlah taran thaw van awh hanh. Na pahni ang nateh kai ni na poe e hah cat loe telah atipouh.
9 So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, —and lo! therein a scroll;
Ka khet torei teh, a kut hoi na kâyap teh, khenhaw! a kut dawk cakalawng teh ao.
10 and he spread it out before me, and, it was written on the front and the back, —and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.
Ka hmalah a rathap teh, athung, avanlah hoi thut e doeh. Khuinae, khopoukrunae, yawthoenae naw hah a kâthut.
