Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
Tami capa Isarel mon koevah, lawk hah pâpho haw, nangmouh Isarel monnaw BAWIPA e lawk hah thai awh haw.
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, taran ni haha! BAWIPA e monnaw teh maimae kut dawk a pha awh toe, telah nangmouh koe lah a dei awh dawkvah,
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
lawk hah pâpho haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, nangmanaw na raphoe awh teh, hmuen pueng koe hoi na payon awh dawkvah, tami ni na dei hane, dudam hanlah na o awh dawkvah,
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
hatdawkvah, nangmouh Oe! Isarel monnaw Bawipa Jehovah e lawk hah thai haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni monnaw, monruinaw, tui lawngnae, tanghlingnaw, kahrawngum hoi, ceitakhai e khopui, petkâkalup lah kaawm e miphun pueng lawp e hoi, hnephnap e naw koevah, hettelah a dei.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kacawirae miphunnaw hoi Edomnaw pueng lunghawinae lungthin, noutnahoehnae lawp hanelah kâsak e naw koevah, lungkhuek laihoi lawk ka dei.
Hatdawkvah, Isarel ram e kong dawkvah, lawk pâpho haw, monpui monrui, tui lawngnae ravo hoi tanghling koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! miphunnaw ni na panuikhai e na khang dawkvah, lungkhuek hoi ka dei toe.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Petkâkalup lah kaawm e miphunnaw ni, amae yeirainae a phu roeroe han telah, ka kut ka dâw teh thoe ka bo.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
Hateiteh, Oe! Isarel monnaw, a kang na tho vaiteh ka tami Isarelnaw hanelah, apaw na paw awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bout na tho awh nahan a hnai toe.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh koelah doeh ka kampang katang, nangmouh koelah kamlang vaiteh, phaw e lah o vaiteh, cati tu e hah na o han.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
Nangmae lathueng vah tami kamphung sak vaiteh, Isarel imthung pueng abuemlahoi ahnimouh teh khopui dawk ao awh vaiteh, ka rawk e hmuennaw hah bout ka pathoup han.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nangmae lathueng vah tami hoi saring kamphung sak han. A kamphung awh vaiteh, catoun lah pou ao awh han. Ahmaloe onae hmuennaw dawk kai ni hmuen ka poe han, apuengcue e kai ni ka sak e patetlah ka o sak han, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o e hah a panue awh han.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
Nangmae lathueng taminaw hah kaie ka tami Isarel miphunnaw teh, a ceio awh nahanelah. kai ni ka sak han, ahnimouh ni, na coe e hah a la awh vaiteh, a coe awh e raw lah na o han, nangmouh kecu dawk camo na sung awh mahoeh toe.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, nang tami ka cat e hoi khocanaw e camo meng na ka thet e na ti pouh awh dawkvah,
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
tami na cat mahoeh toe, na miphunnaw hai na raphoe mahoeh toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
Miphunnaw dudamnae na thai sak awh mahoeh toe. Taminaw e tamthoe na khang boi mahoeh toe. Na ram hai na rawm sak mahoeh toe telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah ati.
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Bawipa Jehovah e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
tami capa Isarel imthungnaw teh, amae ram dawk ao awh teh, amamouh lungpouk a tawksak e lahoi, hote ram a khin sak awh. A hringnuen teh napui kampheng lahun e hringnae patetlah ao.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Hote ram dawk tami theinae yon, meikaphawk hoi kâkhinsaknae yon dawkvah, ka lungkhueknae a lathueng vah ka awi toe.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Miphunnaw koe ka kâkayeisak, ram tangkuem dawk a kâkayei awh teh, a hringnuen hoi a tawksak awh e patetlah ahnimouh lathueng lawk ka ceng.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
A cei awh nah tangkuem dawk a phanae ram koevah, ka min ka thoung a khin sak awh. Ayâ ni ahnimouh koe hetnaw heh BAWIPA e taminaw doeh, hateiteh, a ram dawk hoi ka tâcawt e naw doeh telah ati awh.
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Hateiteh, Isarel imthung ni, a ceinae miphunnaw koevah, a khinsak awh e ka min ka thoung heh ka pasai poung.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni Isarel imthung koe hettelah a dei. Oe! Isarel imthungnaw nangmouh kecu dawk nahoeh, na ceinae ram dawk ka min ka thoung na khin sak awh kecu dawk doeh hetheh ka sak.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Miphunnaw koevah nangmouh ni na kamhnawng sak e, kaie ka min hah ka tawmrasang han. Nangmae hmaitung vah nangmouh lahoi kai na tawmrasang e lah ka o toteh, kai teh Jehovah lah ka o tie nangmouh ni na panue awh han.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh teh ram tangkuem hoi kai ni na kaw awh teh, na pâkhueng awh vaiteh, ahmaloe na onae ram dawk na ceikhai han.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
Nangmae lathueng vah kathounge tui na kathek sin awh vaiteh, nangmouh teh a khinnae pueng koehoi meikaphawk thung hoi na kamthoung sak awh han.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Lungthin katha na poe awh han, na thung vah muitha katha ka hruek han, nangmae tak thung e talung lungthin hah ka la vaiteh, tak lungthin na poe awh han.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
Kai e Muitha hai nangmae thung ka hruek han, nangmouh ni kâlawk na poe e na tarawi awh vaiteh, kai ni na dei pouh e naw hah na hringkhai awh han.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Mintoenaw koe ka poe e ram dawk nangmouh ni na o awh vaiteh, ka tami lah na o awh han, kai hai nangmae Cathut lah ka o han.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
Na kamhnawng awh e thung hoi na tâco sak han. Cakang hah kâ ka poe vaiteh, ka pungdaw sak han. Nangmae lathueng vah takang ka tho sak mahoeh toe.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
Thingthai rompo ka pungdaw sak vaiteh, na law dawk rawca ka tâco sak han. Hottelah takang a tho e kecu dawk, hnehnapnae na khang awh mahoeh toe.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Kahawi hoeh e na hringnuen hoi kahawihoehe na tawksak e hah na kâpanue awh vaiteh, panuetthonae hoi na hawihoehnae kecu dawk, na mithmu roeroe vah namahoima na kâpanuet awh han.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Nangmouh kecu dawk hetheh ka sak e nahoeh tie pahnim awh hanh awh telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Oe! Isarel imthungnaw kahawihoehe na hringnuen kecu dawk, kayak awh nateh, kângairu lah awm awh.
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, na hawihoehnae pueng dawk hoi kai ni na thoung sak hnin dawk teh, khopui dawk kho na sak sak awh vaiteh, ka rawk tangcoung e bout sak e lah ao han.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
Kacetnaw kaawmnaw e hmaitung vah, pahnawt tangcoung e talai dawk laikawk bout na kanawk awh han.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Hat toteh, taminaw ni ahmaloe pahnawt e hete talai teh, Eden takha patetlah ao toe, be raphoe e khopuinaw hai, kacak niteh, khocanaw hai a kuep awh toe telah a dei awh han telah ati.
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Hat toteh, ka rawk e hmuennaw hah kai BAWIPA ni ka pathoup e thoseh, pahnawt e talai dawk laikawk kanawk e thoseh, namae tengpam kaawm e pueng Jentelnaw ni a panue awh han telah, kai BAWIPA ni ka dei e patetlah ka sak roeroe han.
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Isarel imthung hanelah, hete hno ka sak nahanelah, ahnimouh ni kai koe na kâhei awh han. Tuhunaw patetlah a taminaw kamphung sak han.
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Kathounge thuengnae koe poe e, saringnaw hoi, Pawi hnin dawk hane Jerusalem tuhu patetlah ka rawk e khopui teh, tamihu moikapap e hoi akawi han. Hottelah kai heh BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah a panue awh han telah tet pouh ati.
