Ezekiel 26
1 Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
A kum hlaibun, thapa yung pasuek, hnin pasuek dawkvah, hettelah doeh, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha. Tami capa Taire ni Jerusalem taranlahoi haha! miphunnaw e takhang lah kaawm e a rawk toe khe, kai koe lah a kamlang teh, koung raphoe lah ao vaiteh, kai kama law teh, a cak han telah ati.
2 “You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
Tami capa Taire ni Jerusalem taranlahoi haha! miphunnaw e takhang lah kaawm e a rawk toe khe, kai koe lah a kamlang teh, koung raphoe lah ao vaiteh, kai kama law teh, a cak han telah ati.
3 Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni telah a dei, khenhaw! Oe Taire, kai ni na taran, talî ni tuicapa a thaw sak e patetlah nang nama taranlahoi miphun moikapap nang koe ka tho sak han.
4 Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
Taire rapan hah a raphoe awh vaiteh, imrasangnaw hah a raphoe awh han. Ama koehoi vaiphu hah kathoungcalah ka hui pou vaiteh, ka ke e lungsong lah ka coung sak han.
5 Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
Talî lungui e tamlawk yangda rumram nahanelah ao han, bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ni ka dei toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, hottelah miphunnaw hanelah lawphno lah ao awh han.
6 The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
Kahrawngum kaawm e a canu hah tahloi hoi thei e lah ao han, hat toteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
7 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Taire taranlahoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar, siangpahrangnaw e siangpahrang teh atunglae ram lahoi marang hoi marangransanaw hoi tami moikapap hoi ka thokhai han.
8 [In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
Na canu hah kahrawngum vah tahloi hoi a thei awh han. Nang na rungngang nahanelah rapan hah a sak awh vaiteh, nang na tuk nahanelah ravo a sak awh vaiteh, ahnimouh taranlahoi bahlingnaw a sin awh han.
9 The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
Nang e rapannaw avanglah takhang a raphoe nahanelah a sak awh vaiteh, cakâ hoi imrasang hah a raphoe awh han.
10 The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
Kapappoung e marang kecu dawk, vaiphu hoi muen ramuk e lah ao han, raphoe e khopui dawkvah, tami ouk a kâen e patetlah na takhang dawk a kâen awh han, na takhang dawk a kâen awh navah, marangransanaw e pawlawk hoi tarantuknae leng pawlawk dawk rapan rasang hah a kâhuet han.
11 The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
Na lamthungnaw hah marang khoksamen hoi be a katin awh vaiteh, na taminaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh han. Ka rasang e na rapan hah talai dawk be a rawp awh han.
12 They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
Na tawntanae hah lawphno lah koung a la awh han, na hnopai pueng be a rawk han, na rapan hah a tip vaiteh, kahawipoung e na im hah a raphoe awh han, na thing, na talung hoi na talai kahawinaw hah tui dawk be a tâkhawng awh han.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
La na sak pawlawk hah ka roum sak vaiteh, na ratoung pawlawk thai e lah awm mahoeh toe.
14 The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
Ka ke e lungsong lah ka coung sak han, tamlawk yangda hanelah ka coung sak vaiteh, na kangdout sak mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai BAWIPA ni ka dei toe telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
15 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
Bawipa Jehovah ni Taire koevah, hettelah a dei, nangmouh koevah kâtheinae ao. A hmâ ka cat e a hram toteh, na rawpnae a pawlawk dawk ramlouknaw hah a kâhuen mahoeh namaw.
16 Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
Talî dawk e kahrawikungnaw pueng ni a tungkhung dawk hoi a kum awh han, ka sungren poung e a hnicunaw hah a hruek awh vaiteh, a kamthoupnae be a rading awh han. Pâyawnae hah kamthoup awh vaiteh, talai dawk tahung laihoi pou a pâyaw awh han, kângairupoung awh han.
17 Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
Nang khuinae la a phueng awh vaiteh, nang koevah, talai van e a tha ka sai e khopui a min kamthang, tuikathoumnaw khosaknae hah ama hoi a thung kho ka sak pueng, ka cet kaawm e naw ni a bari e khocanaw hoi kakuep e kho, nang teh na rawknae a pataw poung.
18 Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
Na rawpnae ni tuilum pueng koung a kâhuet sak, na kahma hnin vah, talîpui teng e ramnaw be yawng awh han, ati awh han telah ati.
19 This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, tami a ohoehnae khopui ka rawk e kingdi e khopui lah na coung sak toteh, kadungpoung e tui dawk na bo sak vaiteh, tui moikapap ni na ramuk han.
20 then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
Ayan e tami kadungpoung e tangkom dawk ka cet tangcoung e koevah, na ceisak awh han, talai thung vah, ayan hoi kingdi e kadungpoung e tangkom thung ka cet tangcoung e koevah, kho na sak han, apihai nangmouh thung vah kho a sak hoeh nahan hoi, taminaw koehoi bawilennae hah na hmu hoeh nahanelah,
21 I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
He na pâmit han, na awm mahoeh toe, tami ni na ka tawng nakunghai, na hmawt awh mahoeh toe telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
