< Ezekiel 34 >
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who are shepherding themselves. Should not shepherds guard the flock?
“Hlang capa Israel aka dawn taengah tonghma pah. Tonghma lamtah amih aka dawn taengah thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Anunae Israel aka dawn rhoek khaw amamih aka luem la om uh tih boiva aka luem te dawn uh pawt mico?
3 You eat the fatty portions and you dress in wool. You slaughter the fatlings of the flock. You do not shepherd at all.
A tha te na caak uh tih tumul te na bai uh. Na luem puei uh van pawt ah, boiva a toitup te na ngawn uh.
4 You have not strengthened those who have diseases, nor do you heal the ones who are ill. You do not bind up the ones who are broken, and you do not restore the outcasts or seek the lost. Instead, you rule over them through strength and violence.
Aka nue te na moem uh pawt tih aka tlo te na toi uh pawh. Aka khaem te na khop uh pawt tih a heh uh te khaw na mael uh puei pawh. Aka milh te khaw na toem uh pawh. Tedae amih te mangkhak la, thama la na buem uh.
5 Then they were scattered without a shepherd, and they became food for all the living beasts in the fields, after they were scattered.
Aka dawn a tal dongah taekyak uh tangloeng. A taek a yak vaengah tah khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la poeh.
6 My flock strays on all of the mountains and on every high hill, and it is dispersed over the entire surface of the earth. Yet no one is searching for them.
Ka boiva loh tlang tom neh som a sang tom ah palang uh. Diklai hman tom ah ka boiva loh a taekyak vaengah toem voel pawt tih tlap voel pawh.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
Te dongah aka dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh.
8 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—because my flock has become plunder and food for all the beasts in the fields, because there was no shepherd and none of my shepherds sought my flock, but the shepherds guarded themselves and did not shepherd my flock.
Kai tah hingnah ni tite Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Ka boiva te maeh la om mailai pawt nim? Ka boiva loh khohmuen mulhing boeih kah cakok la a poeh he khaw dawn voel pawt tih a toem pawt dongah ni. Ka boiva te ka dawn sak dae amamih aka dawn la luem tih ka boiva te dawn uh pawh.
9 Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
Te dongah tu dawn rhoek loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh.
10 The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand. Then I will dismiss them from shepherding the flock; neither will the shepherds any longer shepherd themselves since I will take away my flock from their mouths, so that my flock will no longer be food for them.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Tu aka dawn rhoek te ka pai thil coeng tih amih kut lamkah ka boiva te ka toem ni. Amih te boiva aka luem puei lamloh ka paa sak daengah ni amamih ah aka dawn long khaw koep a luem thil uh pawt eh. Ka boiva te amih ka lamloh ka huul daengah ni amih kah cakok la a poeh pawt eh.
11 For the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I myself will seek out my flock and I will look after them,
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai kamah loh ka boiva te ka toem ngawn vetih amih ka hnukdawn ni he.
12 like a shepherd seeking his flock on the day he is within the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will seek my flock, and I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.
Te khohnin ah anih te a tuping aka dawn hnukdawnkung bangla taekyak tangtae a boiva lakli ah om ni. Ka boiva te ka hnukdawn vetih cingmai neh yinnah hnin ah a taek a yak nah hmuen boeih lamloh amih te ka huul ni.
13 Then I will bring them out from among the peoples; I will gather them from the lands and bring them to their land. I will put them in pastures on the mountainsides of Israel, by the streams, and in every settlement in the land.
Amih te pilnam lamloh ka khuen vetih amih te paeng tom lamloh ka coi ni. Amih te amamih khohmuen la ka thak vetih amih Israel tlang kah sokca neh khohmuen tolrhum cungkuem ah ka luem puei ni.
14 I will put them in good pastures; the high mountains of Israel will be their grazing places. They will lie down there in good places for grazing, in abundant pastures, and they will graze on the mountains of Israel.
Amih te luemnah then neh ka luem puei vetih Israel tlang sang ah amih kah tolkhoeng om ni. Tolkhoeng then ah kol uh vetih Israel tlang kah luemnah dongah pulpulh luem uh ni.
15 I myself will shepherd my flock, and I myself will make them lie down—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—
Ka boiva te kamah loh ka luem puei vetih amih te kamah loh ka kol sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni.
16 I will seek the lost and restore the outcast. I will bind up the broken sheep and heal the sick sheep but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd with justice.
Aka milh te ka toem vetih a heh tangtae te khaw ka mael puei ni. Aka khaem te ka poi pah vetih aka nue te tha ka caang sak ni. Tedae pulpulh aka tlungluen khaw ka mitmoeng sak vetih tiktamnah neh ka luem sak ni.
17 So now you, my flock—this is what the Lord Yahweh says—behold, I will be a judge between sheep and sheep and between rams and male goats.
Nangmih ka boiva rhoek aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh tu neh tu laklo, tutal laklo neh kikong laklo ah lai ka tloek coeng he.
18 Is it not enough to feed on the good pasture, that you must trample down with your feet what is left of the pasture; and to drink from clear waters, that you must muddy the rivers with your feet?
Luemnah then ah na luem uh tena yakvawt nim? Na luemnah coih te na kho neh na taelh. Tui cil na ok dae a coih te na kho neh na nu sak.
19 Must my sheep eat what you have trampled with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet?
Nangmih kho loh a cawtkoi te ka boiva loh luem thil saeh lamtah nangmih kho loh a nookkoi te o saeh a?
20 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this to them: Behold! I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the thin ones,
Te dongah ka boeipa Yahovah loh amih taengah he ni a thui. Kai kamah loh tu tha laklo neh tu pim laklo ah lai ka tloek ngawn ni.
21 for you have pushed them with your sides and shoulders, and you have gored all of the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them away from the land.
Na vae neh, laengpang neh na nen uh tih na ki neh na thoeh uh. Amih te boeih a muei hil vongvoel la na taek na yak uh.
22 I will save my flock and they will no longer be plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another!
Te dongah ka boiva te ka khang vetih maeh la om voel mahpawh. Tu neh tu laklo ah lai ka tloek.
23 I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David. He will shepherd them, he will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
Amih aka dawn te pakhat ka thoh pah vetih amih te a luem puei ni. Ka sal David loh amih te a luem puei vetih amah te amih aka dawn la om ni.
24 For I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David will be a prince among them—I, Yahweh, have declared this.
BOEIPA kamah he amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih ka sal David tah amih lakli ah khoboei la om ni. He he BOEIPA kamah long ni ka thui.
25 Then I will make a covenant of peace with them and remove the evil wild animals from the land, so that they will live securely in the wilderness and safely sleep in the forests.
Amih taengah rhoepnah paipi ka saii vetih boethae mulhing te diklai lamloh ka kangkuen sak ni. Te daengah ni khosoek ah ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih duup ah a ih uh eh.
26 I will also bring blessings on them and on the places around my hill, for I will send out showers in due season. These will be showers of blessing.
Amih te ka som kaepvai kah yoethennah te ka paek ni. A tue vaengah khonal ka tueih vetih yoethennah khonal la om ni.
27 Then the trees of the field will produce their fruit, and the earth will yield its produce. My sheep will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I break the bars of their yoke, and when I rescue them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
Khohmuen thingkung loh a thaih te a paek vetih diklai loh a cangpai a paek ni. A khohmuen ah ngaikhuek la om uh vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah hnamkun hnokohcung te ka haih pah vetih amih aka thotat sak kut lamloh amih ka huul ni.
28 They will no longer be plunder for the nations, and the wild animals on the earth will no longer devour them. For they will live securely, and no one will frighten them.
Namtom kah maeh la om uh voel pawt vetih amih te diklai mulhing loh dolh mahpawh. Ngaikhuek la kho a sak uh vetih lakueng uh mahpawh.
29 For I will provide them a land known for its crops; so they will not be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear the scorn of the nations.
A thingling ming te amih ham ka thoh ni. Te daengah ni khokha aka tlung khaw khohmuen ah om voel pawt vetih namtom taengah mingthae a phueih uh voel pawt eh.
30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them. They are my people, the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Te vaengah kai he amih taengkah a Pathen BOEIPA neh amih Israel imkhui khaw ka pilnam la a ming uh bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
31 For you are my sheep, the flock of my pasture, and my people, and I am your God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
Nangmih tah kai kah boiva ni. Nangmih kah hlang te khaw ka rhamtlim khuikah boiva ni. Kai tah nangmih kah Pathen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
