< Ezekiel 11 >

1 [Then God’s] Spirit lifted me up and took me to the gate on the east side of the temple area. There at the gate were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
Hottelah Muitha ni na tawm teh, kanîtholah kangvawi e BAWIPA im longkha koe na pha sak. Kâennae takhang dawk tami 25 touh ao. Ahnimanaw thung dawk maya kahrawikungnaw Azzur capa Jaazaniah hoi Benaiah capa Pelatiah ka hmu.
2 Yahweh said to me, “You human, these are the [new leaders in Jerusalem] who are planning to do evil things and who are giving wicked advice [to people] in this city.
Kai koe a dei e lawk teh tami capa, hetnaw heh hete khopui dawk payonnae ka thokhai e hoi ka payon e khokhannae katâcawtsakkung hoi ka yon e khokhannae ka tâcawtsakkungnaw doeh.
3 They say, ‘[Everything will go well for us, so] it will surely soon be [RHQ] time to build houses. [We are like] [MET] fine/choice pieces of meat that are carefully stored in covered pots, and we are protected [from the bad things that will happen to others].’
Im saknae tueng nahoeh rah. Hete khopui heh ka tangdawk e moi hlaam lah ao. Kaimanaw heh a moi lah ka o awh telah katetkungnaw doeh.
4 So, you human, prophesy [the terrible things that will happen to] them.”
Hatdawkvah, Oe tami capa, ahnimouh koe lah profet lawk dei loe telah ati.
5 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon me and told me to [to the people], “This is what Yahweh says: You Israeli people [MTY] are saying those things, but I know what you are thinking.
Hatnavah, BAWIPA e Muitha kaie lathueng a pha teh, kai koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei telah dei pouh. Hettelah ouk na dei awh, Oe Isarel imthungnaw, na muitha e lakhout hai ka panue.
6 You have killed many people in this city and filled the streets with their corpses.
Nangmouh ni hete khopui dawk thei e lahoi na pung sak awh teh, khothung lamnaw hah thei e naw hoi na kawi sak awh toe.
7 Therefore this is what Yahweh the Lord says: The corpses of the people whom you have killed here are [like] the meat [MET], and this city is [like] the pot [MET], but I will expel you from this city.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, na thei e a lungui na hruek e hah a moi doeh. Hete khopui teh moi hlaam ka tangdawk e doeh, hateiteh khopui thung hoi rasa lah na o han.
8 You are afraid [being killed by enemies’] swords, and that is what I will cause to happen to you.
Na takipoung e tahloi hah na lathueng ka pha sak han. Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
9 I will expel you from this city and enable foreigners to capture you and punish you.
Kai ni nangmouh teh khopui thung hoi na rasa vaiteh, Jentelnaw e kut dawk na poe han, lawk na ceng awh han.
10 They will kill [EUP] you with their swords; you will be punished [right here] in Israel. Then people will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nangmouh teh tahloi hoi na due awh vaiteh, Isarel khori koe lawk na ceng awh han, Kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie na panue awh han.
11 This city will not be [a place were you will be protected like] [MET] meat in a covered pot. I will punish you wherever you are in Israel.
Hete khopui teh ka tangdawk e hlaam nahoeh, nangmouh hai a thung e moi na hoeh, Isarel khori dawk lawk na ceng awh han.
12 And you will know that I, Yahweh, [have predicted that would happen], because you have not obeyed my commands and decrees; instead, you have imitated [wicked] behavior [of the people] of the nearby nations.”
BAWIPA doeh tie na panue awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka phunglam na tarawi awh hoeh. Ka lawk ka dei e hai na tarawi awh hoeh. Na tengpam e Jentelnaw phunglam law teh na tarawi awh telah ati.
13 While I was prophesying that, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah [suddenly] died. Then I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out loudly, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going [similarly] get rid of all the Israeli people who are still alive?”
Lawk ka pâpho lahun nah Benaiah capa Pelatiah hah a due. Hottelah hoi pakhup lah ka rawp teh, kacaipounglah ka hram. Aya! Bawipa Jehovah kacawirae Isarelnaw hah na pâmit han na maw telah ka ti.
14 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk hah kai koe a pha.
15 “You human, the people who are still in Jerusalem are talking about you and your own relatives and about all the other people who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries), saying, ‘They [in Babylonia], far from Yahweh. They have left their [here in Israel, so] their property now belongs to us!’”
Tami capa na hmaunawngha, na imthung, na miphun hoi Isarel imthung abuemlahoi Jerusalem karingkungnaw hah BAWIPA koehoi kahlat lah cet awh. Hete ram heh kai koe na poe toe, katetnaw doeh.
16 So tell [them], “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Although I caused them to be taken far [from Israel] and scattered them among other nations, for a short time I will (be like a refuge for/protect) them in the countries to which they have been taken.”
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ka hlatpoung lah Jentel miphun koehoi na puen teh ram tangkuem kahei nakunghai, a phanae ram dawkvah, ahnimouh han kathounge hmuen kathoung lah dongdeng ka o han.
17 So also tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [Some day] I will gather you from the [to which you have been taken] and bring you back to Israel, and you will live in your country/land [again].
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Jentelnaw koe bout na pâkhueng han, na kâkaheinae hmuen koehoi na pâkhueng vaiteh, Isarel ram hah na poe awh han.
18 When you return to your country, you will get rid of all the vile statues of gods and detestable idols.
Hawvah, a tho awh vaiteh, kamhnawng e hoi panuettho e pueng teh haw e hmuen koehoi koung a raphoe han.
19 I will put a new way of thinking [IDM] within you. I will cause you to no longer be stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me completely [IDM].
Lungthin buet touh na poe awh vaiteh, nangmouh thung muitha ka hruek han, na takthai thung e talung patetlah kate e lungthin hah ka la vaiteh, tak patetlah kanem e lungthin hah na poe han.
20 When I do that, you will carefully obey all my laws [DOU]. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Ka phunglam a tarawi teh lawkcengnae a coe awh teh, a sak thai awh nahan, hottelah ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, kai hai a Cathut lah ka o han.
21 But as for those who are devoted [worshiping] their vile statues and detestable idols, I will punish them as they deserve for the evil things that they have done.’”
Hateiteh, panuetthopounge ngainae koe lungthin hoi katarawinaw e yon hah ahnimae a lû dawk ka pha sak han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
22 Then the winged creatures, with their wheels beside them, spread their [and flew up into the air], and the dazzling brightness of Yahweh was above them.
Hatnavah, Cherubim ni a rathei a kadai awh teh, lengkhoknaw ni hai ahnimouh koe ao awh. Isarel Cathut a bawilennae teh ahnimae lathueng ao.
23 That light went up away from the city and stopped above the mountain to the east of the city.
BAWIPA a bawilennae teh, khopui lungui hoi a luen teh, khopui kanîtholah ka rasang e mon dawk a kangdue.
24 In the vision [that I had been seeing, God’s] Spirit lifted me up and brought me [back] to the (exiles in/people who had been forced to go to) Babylonia. Then the vision ended,
Muitha ni vision lahoi na tawm teh, Cathut e Muitha ni Khaldean ram e sankatoungnaw koevah na phakhai. Kai ni ka hmu e vision hah kai koehoi luen.
25 and I told the exiles everything that Yahweh had shown [in the vision].
BAWIPA ni na patue e naw pueng hah sankatoungnaw koe ka dei pouh.
