Ezekiel 11
1 Mueihla loh kai m'phoh tih khothoeng la aka mang yan BOEIPA im vongka la kai ng'khuen. Te vaengah hlang pakul panga tevongka thohka ah lawt ana om. Amih lakli ah pilnam kah mangpa Azzur capa Jaazaniah neh Benaiah capa Pelatiah ka hmuh.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
2 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa, hlang rhoek long he boethae a moeh uh tih he khopuei ah a thae cilsuep ni a uen uh.
And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
3 Im sak ham yoei hlan, mamih tah he am dongkah maeh ni, ' a ti uh.
They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
4 Te dongah amih taengah tonghma pah, hlang capa aw tonghma pah,” a ti.
Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
5 BOEIPA kah mueihla te kai soah ha cu tih kai te m'voek. “BOEIPA loh a thui he Israel imkhui ah thui pah. Tedae na mueihla kah tangtlaeng khaw ka ming.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
6 Nangmih rhok te he khopuei ah hmoeng tih a tollong khaw rhok neh bae,” a ti.
You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Na rhok te a khui ah maeh la na khueh coeng tih khopuei he am la poeh coeng. Tedae nanmih te a khui lamloh n'hoep ni.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
8 cunghang na rhih uh dongah nangmih taengla cunghang kang khuen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 Nangmih te a khui lamloh kang khuen vetih kholong kut ah kan tloeng ni. Te vaengah tholhphu te nangmih soah ka saii ni.
I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
10 Israel khorhi ah cunghang neh na cungku uh tih nangmih soah lai ka tloek vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 He he nangmih ham tah am la om pawt vetih nangmih te a khui ah maeh la na om uh mahpawh. Nangmih te Israel khorhi ah lai kan tloek ni.
The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
12 Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni. Ka oltlueh dongah na pongpa uh pawt tih ka laitloeknah na rhoi uh moenih. Tedae na kaepvai namtom kah laitloeknah bangla na saii uh.
Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
13 Ka tonghma li vaengah Benaiah capa Pelatiah te duek. Te dongah ka maelhmai neh ka bakop tih ol ue la ka pang. Te vaengah, 'Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, na khawknah hil ah Israel kah a meet te na saii aih,’ ka ti.
Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
14 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk.
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
15 Te vaengah, “Hlang capa aw, na manuca khuikah na manuca, na hlang tlannah neh Israel imkhui pum loh a pum la amih Jerusalem khosa rhoek te, 'BOEIPA taeng lamloh a lakhla uh dongah ni khohmuen he kaimih taengah khoh la m'paek,’ a ti nauh.
“Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
16 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh athui he thui. Amih te namtom taengah ka lakhla sak tih diklai ah amih ka taek ka yak sitoe cakhaw a pha uh khohmuen ah amih ham rhokso la rhaih ka om pahoi coeng.
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
17 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. Nangmih te pilnam taeng lamloh kan coi vetih nangmih te diklai lamloh kan coi ni. Amih taengah kan taek kan yak cakhaw Israel khohmuen he nangmih taengah ni kam paek eh.
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
18 Te la ha pawk uh vaengah a sarhingkoi cungkuem neh a tueilaehkoi cungkuem te anih lamloh a khoe uh ni.
When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 Amih te lungbuei pakhat la ka khueh pah vetih nangmih kotak ah mueihla thai kam paek. Te vaengah amih saa lamkah lungto lungbuei ka kuel pah vetih amih te ngansen lungbuei te ka paek ni.
And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
20 Te daengah ni ka khosing dongah pongpa uh vetih ka laitloeknah te a tuem uh eh. Te te a saii uh daengah ni kai taengah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih taengah Pathen la ka om eh.
so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
21 Tedae amih kah sarhingkoi lungbuei neh a lungbuei kah a tueilaehkoi longpuei ah a pongpa uh te amih lu ah ka tloeng pah ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
22 Te vaengah cherubim rhoek loh a phae te a voeivang kah lengkho neh a phuel tih Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah tah amih sokah a so duela om.
Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
23 BOEIPA kah thangpomnah khaw khopuei khui lamloh cet tih khopuei khothoeng kah tlang ah duem.
And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
24 Mueihla loh kai ng'khuen tih Pathen mueihla kah mueimae neh Khalden ah vangsawn la kai n'thak. Te phoeiah a mueimae ka hmuh te kai taeng lamloh cet.
And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
25 vangsawn taengah ka thui ol boeih he BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng.
I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
