< Ezekiel 6 >

1 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 tami capa Isarel mon hah radoung haw. Ahnimouh koe taranlahoi pâpho haw.
Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,
3 Isarel monnaw Bawipa Jehovah e lawk ngai awh. Bawipa Jehovah ni ram hoi monrui koe thoseh, tanghling hoi ravo koe thoseh hettelah dei haw, kai kama roeroe nangmouh koe tahloi ka pha sak vaiteh, hmuenrasang be ka raphoe han.
You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.
4 Nangmae khoungroenaw teh kingkadi lah ka o sak han. Nangmae meikaphawk cathutnaw be ka rek sak han. Kutsak meikaphawknaw e hmaitung, nangmae ransanaw be ka raphoe han.
And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.
5 Isarelnaw e a ronaw meikaphawk teng koe ka hruek han, na hrunaw hah khoungroe petkâkalup lah ka yat han.
And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
6 Na khosaknae khopui pueng a ro vaiteh, hmuenrasang pueng kingkadi lah ao han. Khoungroenaw be raphoe vaiteh, meikaphawk pueng be tâtueng vaiteh, nangmouh ni na sak e hnonaw be a rawkphai awh han.
In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
7 Thei e naw nangmouh umsali a rawp awh han. Hottelah hoi BAWIPA lah ka o tie na panue awh han
And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
8 Hateiteh, ram tangkuem koung na kâkahei toteh, miphunnaw thung dawk tahloi hoi na kahlout e hai na o awh han. A tangawn teh na pâhlung awh han rah.
But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
9 Nangmouh thung dawk hoi ka hlout e naw ni san lah a ceinae hmuen miphunnaw koevah, kai na pahnim awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, alouke meikaphawk ngainae lungthin, kai koehoi kâkapeknae hoi, meikaphawk koe a kâyo awh, a mitnaw cawngkhawi toe tie a kâpanue awh vaiteh, panuetthopoung a sakpayonnae kecu dawk amahoima a kâpanuet awh han.
And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
10 BAWIPA lah ka o teh, a lathueng vah hete rawkphainae heh, ka pha sak han telah ka dei e hah rumram nahoeh tie hah a panue awh han telah ati.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
11 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Na kut tambei nateh, na khok hoi kamleng haw. Aya! panuettho e Isarel imthung yonnae kecu dawk na ou, bangkong tahloi, takangnae hoi lacik patawnae hoi due awh han.
This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
12 Lamhla pui lah kaawm e hah lacik patawnae hoi a due awh vaiteh, kahnaicalah kaawm e hah tahloi hoi a due awh han. Kacawiraenaw hah takang hoi a due awh mingming han. Het patetlae ka patawpoung e ka lungkhueknae hah a lathueng vah ka kuep sak han.
He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.
13 Meikaphawknaw koe hmuitui hah a thuengnae hmuen, khoungroenaw tengpam rasangnae hmuen, monsom kaawm pueng e a lathueng, kahring e thingkung, tâhlip kahawi e thingkung rahim tangkuem vah, meikaphawknaw a rawp awh teh, a due awh toteh, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.
14 Ahnimae a lathueng vah ka kut ka dâw vaiteh, Diblah kho hoi kâkuen e khosaknae hmuen pueng kahrawngum hah tami kingdinae, kângairunae hoe ka o sak torei teh, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han telah ati.
And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
