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.

And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers 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.

Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

3 Im sak ham yoei hlan, mamih tah he am dongkah maeh ni, ' a ti uh.

Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.

4 Te dongah amih taengah tonghma pah, hlang capa aw tonghma pah,” a ti.

For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, 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 came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.

6 Nangmih rhok te he khopuei ah hmoeng tih a tollong khaw rhok neh bae,” a ti.

You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.

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.

For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.

8 cunghang na rhih uh dongah nangmih taengla cunghang kang khuen ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.

You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.

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 make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among 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 come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain 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.

This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land 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.

And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about 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 while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

14 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk.

And 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 countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

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.

For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

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.

Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give 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.

And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

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 a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh 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 be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a 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 heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.

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 wings of the winged ones were lifted up, and the wheels were by their side; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

23 BOEIPA kah thangpomnah khaw khopuei khui lamloh cet tih khopuei khothoeng kah tlang ah duem.

And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.

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 wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.

25 vangsawn taengah ka thui ol boeih he BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng.

Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.
