Ezekiel 12
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
“Boekoek imkhui lung ah kho aka sa hlang capa nang, amih te hmuh ham mik om dae a hmuh uh moenih, a yaak ham hna khaw a khueh uh dae amih te boekoek imkhui kah coeng dongah ya uh pawh.
3 Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
Te dongah hlang capa nang, vangsawn kah hnopai te namah ham rhoekbah lamtah khothaih kah amih mikhmuh ah poelyoe pah. Namah hmuen lamloh amih mikhmuh ah a tloe hmuen la poelyoe pah. Amih boekoek imkhui loh a hmuh uh khaming.
4 During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
Na hnopai te khothaih kah amih mikhmuh ah vangsawn kah hno bangla sat lamtah kholaeh ah khaw amih mikhmuh ah vangsawn kah a pongthoh bangla na thoeng pah mako.
5 Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
Amih mikhmuh ah namah ham pangbueng te thuk lamtah te long te khuen.
6 Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
Amih mikhmuh ah na laengpang soah kawt lamtah a hmuep due na maelhmai dah lamtah khuen. Te daengah ni Israel imkhui ham kopoekrhai la nang kang khueh te khohmuen loh a hmuh pawt eh?,” a ti.
7 [So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
Te dongah ng'uen bangla ka saii tangloeng tih kamah kah hnopai te khothaih ah vangsawn kah hnopai bangla ka khuen. Kholaeh ah pangbueng te kamah ham kut neh ka thuk. A hmuep vaengah laengpang soah ka tloeng tih amih mikhmuh la ka pawk puei.
8 The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
BOEIPA ol tah mincang ah kai taengla ha pawk tih,
9 “You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Hlang capa, boekoek imkhui kah Israel imkhui loh na saii te nang taengah thui uh pawt nim?
10 [So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he a taengah thui pah. He tah Jerusalem neh amih khui kah Israel imkhui boeih ham khoboei kah olrhuh ni.
11 Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
' Ka saii bangla nangmih kah miknoeknah tah kai ni. Amih te vangsawn la a khueh vetih na tamna la cet uh ni.
12 Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
Amih lakli kah khoboei khaw a hmuep ah a laengpang neh a koh vetih coe uh ni. Pangbueng khui long coe ham te a thuk uh ni. A maelhmai te a thing vetih a mik dongah khohmuen khaw hmu mahpawh.
13 [it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
Te vaengah ka lawk te anih ham ka tung vetih ka rhalvong dongah man bitni. Anih te Khalden khohmuen Babylon la ka thak vaengah he he a hmuh kolla pahoi duek ni.
14 I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
A kaepvai boeih te khaw anih kah bomkung bomkung neh a caembong boeih khohli cungkuem taengla ka haeh vetih amih hnuk te cunghang neh ka khoh ni.
15 Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni. Amih te namtom taengah ka taekyak ham neh amih te paeng taengah ka haeh coeng.
16 But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Tedae amih kah hlang te amah tarhing ah cunghang lamkah neh khokha lamkah khaw duektahaw lamkah ka hlun ni. Te daengah ni athoeng uh thil namtom taengah khaw amamih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem te a tae uh pahoi vetih BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh eh,” a ti.
17 Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
18 “You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
“Hlang capa, na buh te hinghuennah neh ca lamtah na tui te khoponah neh, mawnnah neh o.
19 Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
Te phoeiah khohmuen kah pilnam taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Israel khohmuen kah Jerusalem khosa rhoek a buh te mawnnah neh ca uh saeh lamtah a tui te a maehmanah neh o uh saeh. A khohmuen te a cungkuem ah a khui khosa boeih kuthlahnah dongah rhawp ni.
20 The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
Khosa khopuei rhoek khaw khap uh vetih khohmuen he khopong la poeh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni,” a ti.
21 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
22 “You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
“Hlang capa, nang taengkah thuidoeknah te ta? Khohmuen kah Israel he thui pah ham khaw khohnin puh tih mangthui khaw boeih paltham coeng.
23 So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. He thuidoeknah he ka paa sak vetih he he Israel khuiah khaw koep thoel uh mahpawh. Te dongah amih taengah khohnin neh mangthui cungkuem kah ol ha thoeng te thui pah dae.
24 No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
A poeyoek kah mangthui boeih neh olhnal tonghma khaw Israel im khui ah koep om mahpawh.
25 Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
Tedae BOEIPA loh ka thui te ka thui ol bangla thoeng ni. Nangmih kah khohnin ah uelh voel mahpawh. Boekoek imkhui te ol ka thui pah vetih amah la ka thoeng sak ni. Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
26 Yahweh also gave me this message:
BOEIPA kah ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,
27 “You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
Hlang capa aw, Israel imkhui, “Anih kah mangthui a hmuh te khohnin la puh tih a tue khohla ham ni a tonghma,’ a ti uh te.
28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Ka ol ka thui boeih te ka ol bangla uelh voel mahpawh. Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong he thoeng ni,” a ti.
