< Ezekiel 20 >
1 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], in the tenth of the month, come in have certain of the elders of Israel to seek Jehovah, and they sit before me;
A kum sarinae thapa yung panga, hnin hra navah, Isarel kacuenaw ni BAWIPA pacei awh hanelah a tho awh teh, ka hmalah a tahung awh.
2 and there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
3 'Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To seek Me are ye coming in? I live — I am not sought by you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
tami capa, Isarel kacuenaw hah dei pouh. Ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, Nangmanaw ni kai lawk na pacei hanelah na ka tho awh e na ou. Ka hring e patetlah nangmouh ni na pacei awh hanelah kaawm hoeh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei tet pouh.
4 Dost thou judge them? Dost thou judge, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause them to know,
Lawk na ceng mahoeh na maw, tami capa lawkceng haw, a napanaw panuetthonae hah panuek sak awh.
5 and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah your God.
Hahoi ahni koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Isarelnaw ka rawinae hnin koehoi, Jakop imthung ka rawi e naw koevah, kut ka dâw totouh Izip ram dawk ahnimouh koe ka kâpanue sak. Ahnimouh koe ka kut hah ka dâw teh, kai heh BAWIPA na Cathut doeh telah ka ti pouh.
6 In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
Hot hnin dawk Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai teh ahnimouh han ram ka hruek pouh e khotui hoi sanutui a lawngnae ram, ram pueng thung dawk ram kahawipoung e ram koe kâenkhai hanelah ka kut ka dâw na hnin dawkvah,
7 And I say unto them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be not defiled, I [am] Jehovah your God.
ahnimouh koe tami pueng ni na mit hoi na hmu awh e hno panuettho e hah pahnawt awh nateh, Izip ram e meikaphawk hoi kâkhinsak hanh awh. Kai heh BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o telah ka dei.
8 And — they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say — to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.
Hateiteh kai hah na taran awh. Ka lawk ngai awh hoeh. Tami pueng e a mithmu vah hno panuettho e hai pahnawt awh laipalah hottelah hoi a lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae hah kamnue sak hanelah Izip ram thung roeroe vah, ka rabawk payon han na ou telah ka ti.
9 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.
Hateiteh, a onae Jentelnaw e a mithmu vah, ka min a pathoe thai awh hoeh nahan, ka kâroe teh, Izip ram hoi ahnimouh tâcokhai hanelah ahnimae mithmu vah ka panue sak.
10 And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them in unto the wilderness,
Hatdawkvah, Izip ram tâco takhai hanelah, ka dei teh kahrawngum vah ka kâenkhai.
11 And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth — liveth by them.
Ka phung lam hah ka poe teh, ka lawkcengnae ka hmu sak, hot hah tami ni tarawi pawiteh hottelah hoi a hring awh han.
12 And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] Jehovah their sanctifier.
Hothloilah kai BAWIPA heh ahnimouh kathoungsakkung doeh tie a panue thai awh nahan, ka sabbath hai maimae rahak vah mitnout lah ka poe.
13 And — rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Hateiteh, Isarel imthungnaw teh kahrawng vah kai na taranlahoi taran a thaw awh. Ka phunglawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh. Ka lawkcengnae tarawi vaiteh hringnae lah kaawm hane hah a pahnawt awh. Kaie sabbath hai puenghoi a tapoe awh. Hottelah hoi kahrawngum vah ahnimouh he pahma hanelah ka lungkhueknae ka rabawk sin mahoeh na ou, telah a ka ti.
14 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.
Ka tâcokhai lahun nah, mit hoi kahmawtnaw e hmalah ka raphoe hoeh nahan, ka mit kâkaram lahoi ka kâroe.
15 And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
Hottelah hoehpawiteh, kahrawngum vah ka poe e khoitui hoi sanutui a lawngnae, ram pueng hlak kahawipoung e ram dawk kâenkhai mahoeh telah ka kut ka dâw totouh ka ti.
16 Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.
Ka lawkcengnae a pahnawt awh teh, ka phunglawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hah a tapoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungthin teh meikaphawk koelah pou a kamlang awh.
17 And Mine eye hath pity on them — against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.
Hateiteh, he pahma hoeh nahanelah, ka mit a pasai teh kahrawngum hai he ka raphoe hoeh.
18 And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.
Hatei, kahrawngum vah a catounnaw koe, na mintoenaw e phunglawknaw hah, tarawi awh hanh, a lawkcengnae hai pâkuem awh hanh, hoehpawiteh a meikaphawknaw hoi hai kamhnawng awh hanh.
19 I [am] Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,
Kai teh BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o, ka phunglawknaw tarawi awh nateh, ka lawkcengnae hah pâkuem awh nateh dawn awh.
20 And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God.
BAWIPA na Cathut lah ka o tie na panue thai awh nahanelah, kaie sabbath hah tarawi awh nateh, maimae rahak vah mitnoutnae lah ao han telah ka ti.
21 And — the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed — to do them, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.
Hatei, a catounnaw taran a thaw awh teh, ka phunglawk tarawi laipalah, lawk ka dei e tami ni kâhruetcuet lahoi a sak teh, a hring nahanelah kaawm e hah tarawi hanelah pâkuem awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hai a tapoe awh. Kahrawngum vah kaie lungkhueknae kamnue sak hane lahoi ahnimae lathueng vah ka lungkhueknae hah ka rabawk sin payon han na ou, telah ka ti.
22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.
Hatei, ka kut ka hno teh, ka tâcokhai lahun nah kahmawtkung miphunnaw mithmu vah, pâmit lah o hoeh nahan, ka min kecu dawk ka kâroe.
23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
Hothloilah miphunnaw koevah, ahnimouh kâkayei sak vaiteh, ram tangkuem dawk kâkayei sak han telah kahrawngum vah kut ka dâw totouh ka dei toe.
24 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawkcengnae tarawi awh laipalah, ka phunglawknaw noutna awh hoeh. Kaie sabbath hah a tapoe awh teh, a na mintoenaw e meikaphawk koelah a kangvawi awh.
25 And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
Hatdawkvah, a hring thai awh hoeh nahan lawkcengnae hoi phunglam kahawihoehe hah kai ni hai ka poe van.
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Jehovah.
A camin pueng hmai dawk thueng hanelah, phung lah a tawn awh e thuengnae kecu dawk ahnimouh phurinbenpaha lah ka o sak teh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue thai awh nahan, ahnimouh kakhin sak telah ati.
27 Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass.
Hatdawkvah, tami capa, Isarel imthung koe lawk dei nateh, ahnimouh koe Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kai koe yuemkamcuhoeh lah a onae dawk hai na mintoenaw ni na dudam awh rah.
28 And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations.
Ahnimouh poe hane ka kut ka dâw teh, thoe ka bo e ram hoi ka thokhai toteh, mon hoi thingbu ka rung poung a hmu awh nah tangkuem vah, thuengnae a poe awh teh, lungkhuek sak hanelah kaawm e hmaisawi thuengnae naw hah a poe awh. Hmuitui hai hote hmuen koe a thueng awh teh, nei thuengnae hai a awi awh.
29 And I say unto them: What [is] the high place whither ye are going in? And its name is called 'high place' to this day.
Kai ni ahnimouh koe ouk na ceinae hmuenrasang hah bang nama telah ka ti, hottelah hoi sahnin totouh bamah telah ati.
30 Therefore, say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the way of your fathers are ye defiled? And after their detestable things go a-whoring?
Hatdawkvah Isarel imthung koevah dei haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni telah a dei, na mintoenaw patetlah mahoima kâkhinsak teh panuettho e lam koelah na kâyawt awh nahoehmaw.
31 And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, Ye are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel! I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I am not sought by you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmu awh na thueng awh toteh, na canaw hmai dawk na phum awh teh, sahnin totouh na meikaphawknaw dawk na kâkhinsak awh hoeh na maw, hottelah nangmanaw ni pouknae na hei awh hanelah ao na maw. Oe Isarel imthungnaw kai ka hring e patetlah na pacei awh hanelah kai kaawm hoeh telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
32 And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all — in that ye are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.
Maimouh tengpam e Jentelnaw hoi Jentelnaw patetlah thing hoi talung bawk hanelah doeh telah na lungthin hoi na ti awh han eiteh, khoeroe coung thai mahoeh.
33 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Do not I, with a strong hand, And with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out — rule over you?
Kai ka hring e patetlah thaonae kut hoi, kut dâw nah laihoi, lungkhueknae kamnue sak e lahoi, na uk awh han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
34 And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, With a strong hand and with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out.
Miphunnaw thung hoi na tâcokhai han, na kâkayeinae ram thung hoi thaonae kut hoi kutdawnae hoi, lungkhueknae, ka rabawk vaiteh bout na pâkhueng han.
35 And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.
Kahrawngkadi kaawm e koevah, na kâenkhai awh vaiteh, haw vah ka mithmu lah lawk na ceng awh han.
36 As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Izip ram kingdinae koe na mintoenaw lawk ka ceng e patetlah nangmouh koehai ka sak han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
37 And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,
Sonron rahim vah na ceisak awh teh, lawkkamnae kateknae a rahim na ceikhai awh han.
38 And cleared out from you the rebels, And them transgressing against Me, From the land of their sojournings I bring them out, And unto the land of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Nangmouh thung hoi tarankathawnaw hoi kai taranlahoi kâeknae hah a onae ram koe hoi ka tâcokhai vaiteh, ka thoung sak han. Hateiteh, Isarel ram dawk kâen awh mahoeh. Hottelah BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
39 And ye, O house of Israel, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Each his idols — go — serve ye, And, afterwards, if ye are not hearkening to me, And My holy name ye do not pollute any more by your gifts, and by your idols.
Nangmouh hai Oe Isarel imthungnaw, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ka lawk na ngai awh hoeh nahane pawiteh, atuhoi hai namamae meikaphawk lengkaleng bawk awh yawkaw, hatei kathounge ka min heh na poehno awh e lahoi, meikaphawknaw hno e lahoi na khin sak awh mahoeh.
40 For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land — there I accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie mon kathoung, Isarel a rasangnae mon dawkvah, hawvah Isarel imthungnaw hoi ram thung e pueng, hote ram dawk kaie thaw a tawk awh han toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimae lathueng ka lung ahawi han. Hawvah, na poehno e hoi na thuengnae hoi na ya awh e hno pueng hah ka dâw han.
41 With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.
Miphunnaw thung hoi, na tâco sak awh toteh, ram tangkuem hoi na kâkayeinae thung hoi, bout na pâkhueng awh toteh, hmuitui patetlah na dâw awh han. Miphunnaw e a mithmu vah nangmouh koe ka thoungnae a kamnue han toe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
42 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, Unto the land that I did lift up My hand To give it to your fathers,
Isarel ram na mintoenaw koe ka kut ka dâw teh, thoe ka bo e lahoi ka kam e thung vah na kâenkhai awh navah, BAWIPA lah ka o e hah na panue awh han.
43 And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have done.
Hawvah, na hringnuen hoi na tawk sak awh e na kâkhinsaknae pueng hah, na panue awh vaiteh, hawihoehnae na sak awh e pueng dawk, namamae na mithmu roeroe vah na kâpanuet awh han.
44 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My dealing with you for My name's sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Oe Isarel imthungnaw nangmae na yonae naw, nangmouh na thoenae na tawksaknae, kai ni nangmouh lawk na ceng mahoeh. Ka min kecu dawk nangmae lathueng ka sak toteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie nangmouh ni na panue awh han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.
45 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Hothloilah, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
46 Son of man, set thy face the way of Teman, and prophesy unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field — the south;
tami capa, akalah kangvawi haw, akalae taranlahoi dei haw, akalae ratu taranlahoi dei haw.
47 and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt by it have been all faces from south to north.
Akalae ram dawk kaawm e ratu koe patuen na dei pouh hane teh, BAWIPA e lawk thai haw, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! nang dawk hmai ka patawi vaiteh, na thung e thing kahring pueng hoi thingke pueng hai be a kak han, ka kang e hmai roum mahoeh, a ka lahoi atunglah totouh, kai na ka taran pueng hah be a kak awh han.
48 And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it — it is not quenched.'
Moithangnaw ni kai BAWIPA heh hmai katâcawtsakkung doeh tie hah a hmu awh vaiteh, hmai roum mahoeh ati, telah tet pouh telah ati.
49 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he not using similes?
Hottelah kai ni Aiyoe! Bawipa Jehovah, bangnue rumramnae doeh a dei na tet payon vaih telah ka ti.
