< Ezekiel 3 >

1 He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
Hothloilah, tami capa, na hmu e hah cat haw. Cakalawng hah cat nateh, Isarel imthung koe lawk dei loe, telah ati.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
Hottelah ka pahni ka ang teh, cakalawng hah ka ca.
3 Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
Ahni ni, tami capa na von dawk paen nateh, hete cakalawng na poe e heh na von dawk kawi naseh, telah ati. Hottelah ka ca teh, ka kâko dawk khoitui patetlah a radip.
4 Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
Ahni ni kai koevah, tami capa Isarel imthung koe cet nateh, ahnimouh koe kaie ka lawk hah dei haw.
5 The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk phunlouk hoi thai ka ru e lawk koevah, patoun e nahoeh, Isarel miphunnaw koe na patoun e doeh.
6 I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
Ka bawilen e miphun, a lawk ka hram niteh, a lawk hoi lawk thai panuek hoeh e koe na patoun hoeh, ahnimouh koe na patoun pawiteh, na lawk a ngai awh han.
7 But the Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
Hatei Isarel imthung ni teh, nange na lawk ngai awh mahoeh. Kaie ka lawk hai ngai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel imthung pueng teh, tami lung ka patak e hoi dei han ka ru poung e lah ao.
8 But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
Khenhaw! ahnimae minhmai katarankung lah nangmae minhmai, ahnimae tanpa katarankung lah nangmae tanpa hah ka te sak toe.
9 I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
Kate katang e talung hmaikhom patet lae kate e tampa hah na tawn sak teh, Taket hanh loe, taran ka thaw e imthung lah kaawm nakunghai a mithmainaw ni takinae na poe hanh naseh.
10 He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
Hothloilah kai koevah, tami capa nang koe ka dei hane pueng na hnâpakeng nateh, na lungthin dawk paen haw.
11 Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
cet nateh, na hmaunawngha san lah kaawm e koevah cet haw. A tarawi hai a tarawi hoeh hai hettelah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah pâpho nateh dei telah ati.
12 [in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
Muitha ni kai hah na tawm teh, ka hnuklah kacaipounge khoparit lawk hah ka thai. Ama hmuen koehoi BAWIPA bawilennae teh pholen lah awm seh telah ati.
13 [I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
Moithangnaw a rathei buet touh kâhmo e pawlawk hoi a tengpam e leng pawlawk hoi kacaipounge khoparit law hah ka thai.
14 The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
Hottelah Muitha ni na tawm teh, yout na la, kâan e, kakhat e, lungpuennae hoi na pâlei. Hatei Thakasai e BAWIPA kut hah ka lathueng vah ao.
15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
Hottelah Telabib e san lah kaawm e Kebar palang dawk kho ka sak e naw koevah ka pha. A tahungnae koe ka tahung. Kângairu lahoi hawvah, hnin sari touh ka tahung.
16 After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
Hnin sari touh abaw hnukkhu vah hettelah doeh. BAWIPA e a lawk kai koe a pha.
17 “You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
Tami capa Isarel imthung kakhenkung lah na pouk e doeh. Hottelah ka lawk na thai vaiteh, kaie yueng lah kâhruetcuetnae na poe han.
18 When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
Tamikathout, na due roeroe han ka ti pouh teh, hote tamikathout e a hringnae rungngang hanelah, a yonnae lamthung a kamlang takhai hanelah kâhruetcuetnae na poe hoeh lah, na dei pouh hoeh pawiteh, hote tamikathout teh a payonnae dawk dout pawiteh, a thi phu teh nang koe na suk roeroe han.
19 But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
Hatei, tamikathout hah kâhruetcuetnae na poe teh, a thoenae cettakhai laipalah kahawihoehe lamthung dawk hoi kamlang hoehpawiteh, a payonnae dawk a due han, nang teh na hringnae na hlout han.
20 Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
Tamikalan ni a lannae a kamlang takhai teh, yonnae sak pawiteh, a hmalah tâlaw nahan ka tat pouh pawiteh, a due han. Kâhruetcuetnae na poe hoeh dawkvah yon dawk a due han. Lannae a sak tangcoung e hah panue pouh e lah awm mahoeh toe, a thi phu nang koe ka hei han.
21 But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
Hateiteh, tamikalan a yon hoeh nahan kâhruetcuetnae na poe teh, payon hoehpawiteh, kâhruetcuetnae na poe e hah a lawkpui lah a pouk dawkvah, a hring han. Nang hai na hlout toe telah ati.
22 [I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
Hawvah BAWIPA e kut ka lathueng ao teh, kai koevah thaw nateh ayawn dawk cet loe. Hawvah kai ni na pato han telah ati. Hattoteh ka thaw teh ayawn koe ka cei.
23 So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
Khenhaw! hawvah, BAWIPA bawilennae Kebar palang ka hmu e bawilennae patetlah a kangdue teh, kai teh pakhup lah rep ka tabo.
24 Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
Hottelah hoi Muitha teh, kai dawk a kâen. Ka khok hoi na kangdue sak teh, na pato, cet nateh na im kangungh.
25 People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
Nang tami capa tangron hoi na pakhi awh vaiteh na katek awh han.
26 [Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
Na lai hah na adangka dawk kâbet sak vaiteh, lawk na tho mahoeh toe. Ahnimouh na yue mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarankathaw e imthung doeh.
27 [then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
Hateiteh, nang koe lawk ka dei navah, na pahni na ang sak vaiteh, ahnimouh koe, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka tarawi e ni tarawi naseh, ka tarawi ngaihoeh e ni tarawi hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarankathaw e imthung doeh telah na dei han
