Ezekiel 33
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from amongst them, and set him for their watchman,
“Hlang capa aw, na pilnam paca te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Khohmuen te cunghang ka muk thil vaengah khohmuen pilnam loh a khobawt lamkah hlang pakhat te a tuek uh tih anih te amamih kah rhaltawt la a khueh uh.
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the shofar and warns the people,
cunghang loh khohmuen soah a tlak te a hmuh vaengah tuki a ueng tih pilnam te a thuituen.
4 then whoever hears the sound of the shofar and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Tuki ol te a yaak khaw a yaak dae a ngaihuet pawt dongah cunghang loh a tlak thil. Te vaengah anih a loh te a thii khaw amah lu dongah tla saeh.
5 He heard the sound of the shofar and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Tuki ol a yaak lalah a ngaihuet pawt atah amah thii ni amah soah a tlak eh. Amah a ngaihuet atah a hinglu a hlawt ni.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the shofar, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from amongst them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
Tedae rhaltawt loh cunghang ha pawk te a hmuh lalah tuki te ueng pawt tih pilnam huek pawh. Te vaengah cunghang ha pawk tih amih lamkah a hinglu te a loh pa atah amah kathaesainah kongah yook mai cakhaw a thii te rhaltawt kut ah ni ka toem eh.
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
Nang hlang capa namah ni Israel imkhui kah rhaltawt la kang khueh coeng. Te dongah ka ka lamkah ol na yaak neh kai lamloh amih te huek laeh.
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
Halang, halang te, 'Na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ka ti nah lalah halang te a longpuei lamloh ngaihuet sak ham na thui pawt atah, halang te amah kathaesainah dongah duek cakhaw a thii te tah nang kut ah ni ka toem eh.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Tedae nang loh halang te a longpuei lamloh mael sak ham na huek lalah a longpuei lamloh a mael pawt atah amah thaesainah ah duek vetih nang tah na hinglu na huul ni.
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
Te dongah nang hlang capa, Israel imkhui te voek laeh. He he thui lamtah, 'Mamih kah boekoek neh mamih kah tholhnah ngawn tah mamih soah tla coeng. Amih kongah mamih m'muei uh tih metlae n'hing eh? 'ti saeh.
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
Amih te thui pah. Kai tah hingnah ni. He he Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Halang kah dueknah dongah khaw ka naep pawt dongah halang khaw a longpuei lamloh lat mael saeh lamtah hing saeh. Na boethae longpuei lamloh mael rhoe mael laeh. Balae tih Israel imkhui loh tarha na duek eh?
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
Te dongah nang hlang capa loh na pilnam paca te thui pah. A boekoek hnin ah tah aka dueng kah duengnah loh anih te huul mahpawh. A halangnah lamloh a mael khohnin ah halang kah halangnah dongah khaw tongtah mahpawh. Aka dueng khaw a tholh khohnin ah tah tholh neh a hing ham coeng pawh.
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
Aka dueng te hing rhoe hing ni ka ti sitoe cakhaw anih te amah kah duengnah dongah pangtung tih dumlai saii koinih anih kah duengnah boeih te a duengnah la poek uh mahpawh. A dumlai a saii dongah te amah ni a duek eh.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
Halang te duek rhoe duek ni ka ti bal sitoe cakhaw a tholhnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii.
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
A halang akhaw hnohol te a mael tih a huenkoe te koep a thuung, hingnah khosing dongah pongpa tih dumlai a saii pawt atah hing roe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
A tholhnah cungkuem neh a tholh te a a taengah tholhnah poek uh pawt vetih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii dongah hing rhoe hing ni.
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
Te vaengah na pilnam paca loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,” ti uh cakhaw amih kah a longpuei ni a tiktam pawh.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
Aka dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai a saii atah te dongah te duek van ni.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
Halang khaw a halangnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii atah te nen te anih hing ni.
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
'Ka Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,’ na ti uh dae hlang he a longpuei tarhing ah ni nang Israel imkhui te lai kan tloek eh?,” a ti.
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
Kaimih hlangsol kah kum hlai nit hla rha hnin nga a lo vaengah Jerusalem lamkah hlangyong te kai taengla ha pawk tih, “Khopuei a tloek coeng,” a ti.
22 Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
Hlangyong ha pawk hmai kah kholaeh ah BOEIPA kut te kai soah om coeng. Te dongah kai taengla aka pawk taengah mincang due ka ka a ong. Ka ka a ong tangloeng vaengah tah ka khuep voel pawh.
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ah ha pawk tih,
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in Eretz-Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
“Hlang capa aw, Israel khohmuen imrhong kah khosa rhoek loh, 'Abraham pakhat bueng ni om tih khohmuen a pang mai. Tedae kaimih he yet ham he kamamih taengah khohmuen ni khoh la m'paek,” a ti uh.
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
Te dongah amih taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah a thui he thui pah. Thii te na caak uh tih na mik te na mueirhol taengla na huel. Thii na kingling cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbour’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
Na cunghang dongah na pangnal uh tih tueilaehkoi na saii uh. Hlang long he a hui kah yuu te na poeih uh cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Hingnah khaw kamah coeng dongah imrhong khuikah rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh het mahpawt nim? Te phoeiah khohmuen hoeng kah te mulhing taengla ka paek vetih anih te a ngaeh ni. Rhalmahim khui neh lungko khuikah te khaw duektahaw nen ni a duek uh eh.
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
Khohmuen te khopong neh a rhaerhap la ka khueh vetih a hoemdamnah a sarhi a kangkuen sak ni. Te vaengah Israel tlang te pong vetih aka paan om mahpawh.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
Tedae BOEIPA kamah loh khohmuen te khopong neh rhaerhap la ka khueh khaw amamih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii uh dongah ni tila a ming uh bitni.
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
“Nang hlang capa aw na pilnam paca loh nang te pangbueng kaep neh im thohka taengah n'thui uh. Hlang pakhat loh a manuca te kang a voek tih, 'Lo laeh lamtah BOEIPA taeng lamkah hang khuen ol he hnatun uh,’ a ti.
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Nang taengah khotlak pilnam bangla ha pawk uh van tih ka pilnam bangla na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh. Na ol te a yaak uh van akhaw te te a vai uh moenih. A ka dongah hlampan uh ngawn cakhaw a lungbuei ah amamih kah mueluemnah dongah a pongpa te a phoe uh.
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
Nang te amih taengah sakthen ol neh hlampan laa banghui ni ne. Na ol yaak sak ham balh na tum akhaw te te aka vai a om uh hae moenih.
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been amongst them.”
Tedae te te ha pawk vaengah tah rhep ha pawk vetih amih lakli ah tonghma a om te a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
