Ezekiel 16
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa amah kah tueilaehkoi te Jerusalem ming sak.
Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
3 Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem te, ‘Namah tuikong neh na pacaboeina tah Kanaan kho kah tih, na pa te Amori, na nu khaw Khitti nu ni.
And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Na pacaboeina loh na om khohnin ah na yenrhui at pawt tih tui neh pakpak n'silh moenih, n'yut khaw n'yuut pawt tih n'yol khaw n'yol moenih.
As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
5 He khuiah pakhat khaw nang taengah saii ham vaengah a mik loh nang te n'rhen moenih. Nang soah thinphatnah ham lakah na om nah khohnin ah na hinglu tueilaehkap ham ni lohma li ah m'voeih.
No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
6 Na kaepah ka pah vaengah nang te namah thii neh na nok uh te ka hmuh. Te vaengah nang taengah, “Na thii dongah hing ne,” ka ti nah tih, “Nang te namah thii neh hing,” ka ti nah.
And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
7 Lohma thingdawn a pul bangla nang kang khueh. Te dongah na ping tih na pantai vaengah cangen lakah cangen la na poeh. Na rhangsuk khaw hmabuet tih na sam khaw sai. Tedae nang te pumtling neh yangyal la na om.
And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
8 Na taengah ka pah vaengah namah neh na tue hlo ngaih tue la kak kam hmuh. Te dongah ka hnihmoi te nang kang khuk thil tih na yah kan dah. Nang taengah ka toemngam tih nang te paipi khuila kan thoeng puei dongah ni kamah taengah na om. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
9 Namah tui neh kan hluk tih na pum dongkah na thii te kan silh. Te phoeiah nang te situi neh kan yuh.
Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10 Nang te rhaekva kam bai sak tih saham pho ni nang kang khom sak. Hnitang neh nang kan yen tih puhimbai neh nang kan khuk.
And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
11 Nang te cangen kang oi sak tih na kut dongkah khungpak neh na rhawn kah oi khaw kam paek.
And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
12 Na hnarhong dongkah hnaii neh na hna dongkah hnathawn khaw na lu dongkah boeimang rhuisam khaw kam paek.
And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Sui neh ngun na oi tih na hnicu khaw hnitang khuikah hnitang tah, puhimbai neh rhaekva ni. Vaidam neh khoitui neh situi te na caak na caak tih bahoeng, bahoeng na sawtthen dongah mangpa taengah na thaihtak.
So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.
14 Ka rhuepomnah he nang taengah a rhuemtuet la kam paek lamloh na sakthen neh na ming tah namtom taengah tueng coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.
15 Tedae na sakthen dongah na pangtung tih na ming dongah na cukhalh. Aka cet boeih soah na cukhalhnah na hawk tih anih ham khoeng a om pah.
But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.
16 Na himbai te na loh tih hmuensang te namah ham savawk la na saii. Amih sokah na cukhalh te phoe noek pawt tih om noek bal mahpawh.
And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
17 Namah taengah kam paek ka sui neh ka ngun te namah kah boeimang hnopai bangla na loh. Te phoeiah tongpa muei te namah ham na saii tih amih taengah na cukhalh.
And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;
18 Himbai khaw namah kah rhaekva te na loh tih amih na khuk. Ka situi neh ka bo-ul te amih mikhmuh ah a tawn khaw na tawn mai.
And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
19 Ka buh khaw namah ham kam paek tih vaidam neh situi neh khoitui te nang kan cah. Tedae amih mikhmuh ah na tawn pah tih hmuehmuei botui bangla om sumsoek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.
20 Kai ham nan sak na canu na capa te na khuen tih caak la amih taengah na ngawn. Na cukhalhnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te yol a?
And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,
21 Ka ca rhoek te na ngawn tih amih taengah duek paan la amih te na paek.
That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
22 Namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem neh na cukhalhnah dongah na camoe tue vaengah pumtling neh yangyal la na om tih na thii dongah aka nok uh na om te na poek khaw na poek pawh.
And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.
23 Na boethae cungkuem hnukah ana om ngawn, anunae anunae nang aih te. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
24 Namah ham sawn na daep tih toltung takuem ah thaehhing na dawn.
That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
25 Longpuei longlu takuem ah na thaehhing na dawn, na sakthen na tuei tih aka cet boeih taengah na kho na kaa. Te vaengah na cukhalhnah lamloh na cukhalhnah te na kum.
You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.
26 Na imben Egypt ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh neh pumsa ah na boeilen. Kai veet ham ni na cukhalhnah te na ping sak.
And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
27 Te dongah nang taengla ka kut ka thueng coeng he. Na khoboe khonuen rhamtat dongah ni na khotlueh te kam bim tih na hmaithae neh na lunguet hinglu, Philisti nu taengla nang kam voeih.
Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.
28 Na cungnah a om pawt dongah Assyria ca rhoek taengah na cukhalh bal. Tedae amih taengah na cukhalh pataeng na hah bal moenih.
And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.
29 Kanaan khohmuen kah Khalden taeng duela na cukhalhnah te na ping sak dae te nen pataeng na hah moenih.
And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
30 Na ko tah tahah tangkik coeng. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Rhaidaeng la pumyoi nu kah khoboe he boeih na saii.
How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
31 Longpuei tom kah longlu ah na sawn na daep. Na thaehhing te toltung takuem ah na dawn na dawn tih a paang aka soehsal ham pumyoi bangla na om rhoe na om moenih a?
For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.
32 Yuu loh samphaih tih a va yueng kholong te a doe.
The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
33 Pumyoi takuem taengah kutdoe a paek uh vaengah nang tah na kutdoe te nang aka ngaih sarhui taengah na paek. Na cukhalhnah dongah na kaepvai lamkah te namah taengla pawk ham kapbaih na paek.
They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.
34 Te dongah nang kah cukhalhnah dongah namah taengah huta lamloh khuplat la om coeng. Nang hnukah aka cukhalh om pawh. Nang loh a paang na paek tih namah te a paang m'paek pawt dongah khuplat la na om coeng.
And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.
35 Te dongah pumyoi aw BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.
For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
36 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na rhohum khaw na lun tih na ngaih taengah na cukhalhnah neh na yah na phen. Nang kah tueilaehkoi mueirhol cungkuem neh na ca thii te amih taengah na paek.
This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;
37 Te dongah na hlang ngaih boeih te ka coi coeng ne. Amih taengah na lungtui tih na lungnah boeih te khaw, na lunguet boeih te khaw a kaepvai lamloh amih te nang taengah kang kuk. Amih taengah na yah kam poelyoe vetih na yah te boeih a hmuh uh ni.
For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.
38 Samphaih kah laitloeknah neh thii aka long sak nang te lai kan tloek ni. Te vaengah kosi neh thatlainah thii te nang soah kang khuen ni.
And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.
39 Nang te amih kut ah kan paek vaengah tah na sawn han koengloeng vetih na thaehhing ham voeih ni. Nang te na himbai ham pit tih na boeimang hnopai han loh vaengah nang te pumtling neh yangyal la ng'khueh uh ni.
I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.
40 Nang te hlangping neh m'paan thil vetih nang te lungto neh n'dae phoeiah a cunghang neh nang te m'poel uh ni.
And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
41 Na im te hmai neh a hoeh uh vetih nang sokah tholhphu te huta a yet kah mikhmuh ah n'saii uh ni. Te vaengah ni pumyoi lamloh nang kam paa sak vetih a paang khaw koep na paek pawt eh.
And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
42 Nang soah ka kosi ka hong daengah ni nang taengkah ka thatlainah a nong eh. Te vaengah ka mong vetih hue ka sa voel mahpawh.
And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.
43 Na camoe tue te na poek la na poek pawt tih he boeih neh kai taengah na tlai. Te dongah kai khaw na khosing te na lu soah kam paek ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi boeih te khonuen rhamtat la saii rhoe saii boeh.
Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.
44 Nang kawng neh aka thuidoek boeih long ke a canu aka voek manu bangla a thuidoek ni.
See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 Nang tah a va neh a ca rhoek aka tuei na manu canu ni. Nang tah a hlang neh a ca aka tuei na ngannu kah tanu ni. Na nu tah Khitti tih na pa te Amori ni.
You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Na tanu suiham Samaria khaw a canu neh nang kah banvoei ah om lah ko. Na tanu namah lakah a noe tah na bantang kah Sodom ah a canu neh om lah ko.
Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Amih kah longpuei ah na pongpa bueng pawt tih amih taengkah tueilaehkoi te mikpalap ah valh na saii khaw na saii. Tedae na longpuei boeih dongah khaw amih lakah na poeih uh coeng.
Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.
48 Kai tah hingnah tite, ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Namah neh na canu kah na saii bang te na tanu Sodom neh a canu loh a saii noek moenih.
By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
49 Na tanu Sodom kah thaesainah la he ni aka om he. Buh coihdanah dongkah hoemdamnah he amah neh a canu taengah a mong la ommongnah a om pah. Tedae mangdaeng neh khodaeng kut tah a moem moenih.
Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.
50 Sang uh cakhaw ka mikhmuh ah tueilaehkoi ni a saii uh. Te dongah na hmuh bangla amih te ka saii.
They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
51 Samaria he nang kah tholhnah a loengboeng pataeng a tholh moenih. Te dongah nang kah tueilaehkoi he amih lakah yet. Tedae namah kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem na saii na saii tih na tanu kah na tanu taengah khaw na tang van.
And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.
52 Namah khaw na mingthae te phuei nawn. Na tanu ham na thangthui cakhaw na tholhnah neh amih lakah n'tuei coeng tih nang lakah tang uh. Te dongah namah khaw na tanu na tang sak dongah yak lamtah na mingthae phuei nawn.
And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.
53 Tedae amih khuikah thongtla, Sodom thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, Samaria kah thongtla thongtla neh a tanu thongtla, amih lakli kah nangmih thongtla, thongtla te khaw koep ka mael puei.
And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.
54 Te dongah amih na hloep vaengkah na saii boeih te na mingthae phuei lamtah na hmaithae saeh.
So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
55 Na tanu Sodom khaw a canu neh amah hmuen la mael uh vetih Samaria neh a tanu rhoek khaw a muel la mael uh ni. Te vaengah nang neh na tanu rhoek khaw namah hmuen la na mael ni.
And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.
56 Na hoemdamnah khohnin vaengkah na ka lamkah olthang bangla na tanu Sodom khaw om mahpawt nim?
Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Na boethae a hliphen tom vaengah Aram nu neh a kaepvai boeih kah Philisti nu rhoek kokhahnah tue vaengkah bangla a kaepvai ah nang n'hnaep uh.
Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.
58 Nang kah khonuen rhamtat neh namah kah tueilaehkoi te namah loh phuei. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
59 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Paipi phae ham olcaeng na sawtsit dongah na saii bangla nang te kan saii rhoe kan saii ni.
For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.
60 Tedae na camoe tue vaengkah nang taengkah ka paipi te ka poek vetih nang ham kumhal kah paipi ka thoh ni.
But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.
61 Te vaengah na longpuei te na poek vetih na hmaithae bitni. Na tanu namah lakah aka ham te na doe vaengah nang lakah tanoe ni tanu la nang taengah kam paek sitoe cakhaw na paipi dongkah mahpawh.
Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.
62 Ka paipi te nang taengah ka thoh vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming bitni.
And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
63 Te daengah ni na poek vaengah na yak vetih na ka a ah la koep a om pawt eh. Na mingthae hman ah khaw na saii boeih dongah nang ham kan dawth coeng. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,’ ti nah,” a ti.
So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
