Ezekiel 16
1 BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe bout a pha.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Tami capa, Jerusalem panuet a thonae hah panuek sak nateh ahni koevah,
Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
3 Bawipa Jehovah ni Jerusalem koe hettelah a dei. Na khenae hoi na tâconae ram teh Kanaan taminaw e ram doeh. Na pa teh Amor tami lah ao teh na manu teh Hit tami doeh.
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 tâco nah apinihai na thunrui a awh hoeh. Thoung sak hanelah tui dawk hai na pâhluk awh hoeh. Palawi hai na hluk awh hoeh. Kabethueplah hni hoi hoi hai na kayo e hai nahoeh.
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 Pahren hanelah na lathueng hete hnonaw ka sak hanelah, apie mit ni hai na pahren hoeh, vaipuen vah tâkhawng e lah na o. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na khe na hnin hoi panuet e lah na o.
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 Nang koe ka tho navah, thi hoi puk na kâkaawk e ka hmu navah, hring loe ka ti, nang teh thi dawk na o lahun nah kai ni ka dei.
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 Phokung patetlah na roung sak teh, nang teh pou na len sak e, kamcu meikahawi e hoi na kawi. Na sanu a roung teh na tak dawk hai a muen a tho. Hateiteh khohna tawn laipalah caici lah na o.
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 Nang koe ka tho nah na khet toteh, nange na tueng teh pahrennae tueng lah ao teh, kaie hni ka kadai teh caici lah na onae hah ka ramuk. Thoe hai na bo teh nang hoi lawkkamnae ka sak e lahoi, nang teh kaie ka yu lah na o telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
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 Tui hoi na pâsu teh na thipaling teh kathoungcalah ka pâsu teh satui na hluk.
Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10 Pathoupnae hni hoi na pathoup teh, a pho phukaawm hoi na khokkhawm na khawm sak, loukloukkaang e hni na kâkhu sak.
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 Pathoupnae hoi na pathoup teh na kut dawk kuthrawt, na lahuen dawkvah sui dingyin,
And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
12 na hnawng dawk hnongpacap, na hnâ dawk hnâpacap, na lû dawk kahawipoung e suilukhung na kâmuk sak.
And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Hottelah sui hoi ngun hoi pathoup e lah na o. Na khohna hai loukloukkaang e hni kahawipoung e carouk e hninaw doeh. Na ca hane bu teh tavai kanui hoi khoitui hoi satui doeh. Na kamcu, mei na hawi poung, siangpahrangnu lahoi na kuep doeh.
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 Na meihawinae na miphunnaw koe a kamthang, ka bawilen nahanelah pathoup e lahoi kuepcingnae na tawn telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
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 Hateiteh, na meihawinae ekvoi na kâoup dawkvah, na min kamthangnae teh na kâyonae lah na hno. Ka cet kaawm e naw koe na kâyonae na pâpho teh, tongpa pueng ni tha a kâla awh.
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 khohna na rading teh hmuenrasang hah nama hanelah na pathoup. Hawvah, na kâyo. Het patetlae heh bout awm boi mahoeh toe.
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 Kaie sui hoi ngun hnopai kahawi kahawi na poe e na la teh, tongpa meikaphawk sak nahanelah na hno teh na kâyo.
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 A meikahawi e na khohna hah na la teh, ahnimouh hah na kâkhu sak. Kaie satui hoi hmuitui hah a hmalah vah na pâhung.
And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
19 Kai ni na poe e vaiyei hoi tavai kahawi e hoi satui hoi khoitui ouk na kawknae hah, hmuitui hanelah a hmalah na pâhung pouh teh, hettelah na toung vai yaw khe, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
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 Hothloilah, na canu capa na khe pouh e hah ahnimouh koe thuengnae koung hno hanelah na poe, na kâyonae heh rumram nahoeh.
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 canaw na thei teh, hmai hoi thueng hanelah ahnimouh koe na poe e naw hah,
That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
22 panuet na thonae hoi na kâyonae naw pueng dawk na lung a mathoe lahun nae, caici lah na onae, thi puk na kâkaawk lahun nae hah na naw nah hoi na panuek hoeh mue toe.
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 hawihoehnae naw a hnukkhu hettelah doeh. Lungmathoe hanlah ao telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
24 Lamthung tangkuem meikaphawk bawknae hmuen na sak, nama na kâyo nahane im na sak.
That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
25 Lamthung kâracutnae koe pueng vah, kâyonae im na sak, na meihawinae teh panuettho lah na coung sak. Ka cet kaawm pueng koe na kâpoe teh na kâyonae teh hoe a pap.
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 Izip tami na imri koevah, na kâyo teh, ka lungkhuek nahanelah na kâyonae na nut sak.
And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
27 Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! na lathueng vah ka kut ka dâw teh, ouk na ca boi e bu ka youn sak teh, nang ka maithoe e Filistin tami napui na kâyonae na kayakkhai e poung koe, a ngaithaithue na sak hanelah na poe.
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 Assirianaw koehai na kâyo teh, a khout toe tie hai na panuek hoeh.
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 ram Khaldeannaw koe vah na kâyonae bout na nut sak teh, na khout kalawn hoeh.
And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
30 Na lungthin banghloimaw a kamko. Na kâroekâkhawinae dawk a lung ka patak e napui patetlah hno na kâyo telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
31 Lam a kâcunae koe pueng tami pawpnae rim hah na sak teh, lamsalun tangkuem koe e kâkaawknae hmuen na sak e naw dawkvah aphu na hei hoeh dawkvah, kâyawt e lah na awm hoeh toe.
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 Thoundoun alouke hoi ka ip e napui, vanaw hlak tami alouke ka ngaihnawn e napuinaw,
The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
33 tongpa ni kâyawt e napui koe aphu ouk a poe awh. Nang ni teh na ka ngai e koe doeh letlang na poe. Ram tangkuem hoi a tho awh teh, na ikhai nahanelah nama ni ouk na pasawt.
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 Na kâyonae dawk apinihai na pâtam hoeh e hah, kâyawt e alouke hoi na kâvanhoehnae doeh. Apinihai aphu na poe awh hoeh niteh, nang ni law dai na poe e hah kâvanhoehnae doeh.
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 Hatdawkvah Oe kâyawt e napui, BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw.
For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
36 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, panuet na thonae teh, meikaphawknaw hoi, na kâyonae hoi, caici lah na onae kamnue sak e lahoi, ahnimouh koe na poe e na canaw e thipaling kecu dawkvah,
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 Khenhaw! na ka ipkhai e hoi na ka pahren e tami pueng, na ka maithoe e pueng hah ka pâkhueng han, nang koe ka thokhai vaiteh, caici lah na onae a hmu awh thai nahan, ahnimouh koe caici lah na onae hah kamnue sak han.
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 Hahoi napui a vâ a kapek teh, mae canaw thipaling palawngnae kong dawk lawk ouk ceng e patetlah nange kong heh lawkceng awh han, lungkhueknae hoi ka patawpoung e lungphuennae ka pha sak han.
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 Ahnimae kut dawk na poe vaiteh, na kâkaawknae ka raphoe han. Na hmuenrasangnaw ka rawp sak han. Na khohnanaw hah a rading awh vaiteh, a phukaawm e painapaitunnaw a la awh han, hni laipalah tak caici lah na hruek awh han.
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 Tami moikapap a kaw vaiteh, ahnimouh ni talung hoi na dei awh han. Tahloi hoi na bouk awh han.
And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
41 Nange im hah hmai hoi a sawi awh han. Napui moikapap a hmunae koe nange lathueng lawkcengnae a pha sak han. Na kâyonae teh ka pout sak vaiteh, nang teh ayânaw na hlai mahoeh toe.
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 Hottelah hoi ka lungkhueknae hah na lathueng vah ka kuepcalah ka kamnue sak han. Na dipmanae hai nangmouh koe hoi ka takhoe vaiteh, muengmueng ka o han, ka lungkhuek mahoeh toe.
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 nawnae hnin hah na pahnim teh, hete hnonaw dawk rucatnae na poe dawkvah, khenhaw! na kâroenae patetlah na lathueng ka pha sak han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei. Hahoi panuet na thonae pueng thap sin hanelah, hete na kâyonae na sak mahoeh toe.
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 Khenhaw! cingthuilawk kaduemca ka hno e pueng ni hete cingthuilawk hah a hno awh han, a canu ni a manu phek a la, tie hah.
See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 Na manu mae vâcanaw patenghai kapanuetkung, canu lah na o, hmaunawngha coungnae koe lah mae vâ hoi canaw kapanuetkung hmaunawngha lah na o. Na manu Hit tami doeh, napanaw hah Amornaw doeh.
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 tawncanu teh Samaria, nange avoilah kho ouk ka sak e hah ama hoi a canunaw hoi doeh. Na hmau na nawngha hoi aranglah kho ouk ka sak e hah teh Sodom hoi a canunaw doeh.
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 A hring nuencang hah na tarawi hoeh eiteh, panuet a tho awh e patetlah na sak hoeh ei, na hring nathung e na payonpakainae naw pouk toteh, hothateh, dei hane kamcu hoeh.
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 ka hring e patetlah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, nang nama hoi na canaw ni a sak awh e heh, a hmaunawngha Sodom hoi a canu ni hai sak awh hoeh.
By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
49 Na hmaunawngha Sodom a yonnae teh, hetnaw hah doeh, kâoupnae hoi king ka boum lah canae ama hoi a canunaw a nawmnae lah ao teh, tami ka roedeng hoi voutthoup e taminaw hah kabawm awh hoeh.
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 Kâoupnae poung e lah ao teh kaie kahma lah panuettho e hno kasakkungnaw doeh, hatdawkvah, ahawi ka tie patetlah kai ni ka raphoe toe.
They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
51 Samaria nihai, nang ni na sak e yonnae a tangen boehai sak hoeh. Ahnimanaw hlak panuet ka thoe e hno hah na sak dawkvah, na hmaunawnghanaw e yon hah na kamnuek sak hoeh.
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 Na hmaunawnghanaw kalanhnawn lah na kamnue sak dawkvah, nang nama roeroe ni na yeiraiponae teh na phu hanelah ao. Ahnimanaw hlak panuetthopounge hno hah hoe kapap lah na sak teh, na hawihoehnae kecu dawk, ahnimouh teh nangmanaw hlak vah a lan hnawn. Na hmaunawngha kalanhnawn lah na kamnuesaknae dawkvah, kayak poung e hoi yeiraiponae hah na coe han.
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 Hahoi, Sodom hoi a canu e hringnuen hoi ahnimouh hoi nangmae hringnuen hai ka thung han.
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 Ahnimouh han roumnae lah ouk na onae dawkvah, na sak e hnopueng kecu dawk na kayayeirai lah na o thai nahan,
So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
55 Na hmaunawngha Sodom hoi a canunaw hoi Samaria hoi a canunaw hah, a hringnuen hmaloe e patetlah bout a hring awh vaiteh, nang hoi na canunaw hai, ahmaloe e na hringnae dawkvah, bout na hring awh han.
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 hawihoehnae hmu hoehnahlan e, na bawilennae hnin dawkvah, na hmaunawngha Sodom teh a min kuekluek dei mahoeh namaw.
Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Atuteh, Siria canu hoi atengpam e tami pueng Filistin canunaw nang teng e na ka panuikhainaw hoi puenghoi na kapathoenaw,
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 na kâyonae hoi panuet na thonae hah pou na kampu telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
59 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Lawkkam e hah tapuet teh, lawkkam e banglahai na noutna hoeh e patetlah na lathueng ka sak van han.
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 Hateiteh, na camo nah nang koe ka lawkkam e hah ka pahnim mahoeh, nang koe vah a yungyoe kangning e lawkkamnae ka sak han.
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 Hottelah hmaunawnghanaw hah na coe awh navah, na lung a ang vaiteh, na kayakhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe lawk ka kam kecu dawk nahoeh niteh, ahnimouh teh a canu hanelah na poe han.
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 Nang koe ka lawkkam e ka cak sak vaiteh, BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han.
And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
63 Nang ni ouk na sak boi e pueng yontha lah ao han. Ka lung a roum toteh, kai ni na pahnim mahoeh. Kayanae takinae hoi minhmai mathoe kecu dawk lawk ka dei laipalah, ka o han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni 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.
