< Ezekiel 29 >

1 Kum rha dongkah hla rha hnin hlai nit vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 “Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh te na maelhmai khueh thil lamtah amah neh Egypt boeih te tonghma thil.
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;
3 Voek lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he thui pah. A sokko tuilung ah aka kol tuihnam puei, Egypt manghai Pharaoh nang kam pai thil coeng ne. Amah long tah kai taengah, 'Ka sokko he kai loh kamah kah la ka khueh,’ a ti.
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, thou great dragon, that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest, “My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.”
4 Thisum, thisum neh na kam ah kan dueh vetih na sokko kah nga te na lip dongah ka ben ni. Na sokko khui lamloh nang kan doek vetih na sokko kah nga boeih khaw na lip dongah kap ni.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to cleave to thy scales, and I will draw thee forth from the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers which cleave to thy scales.
5 Namah neh na sokko nga boeih khaw na khuikah khosoek ah kam phap vetih, lohma tlai ah na cungku ni. Nang n'khoem pawt vetih n'coi mahpawh. Diklai mulhing ham neh vaan kah vaa ham nang te cakok la kam paek ni.
And I will cast thee into the desert, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven I have given thee for food.
6 Te vaengah Egypt khosa boeih loh BOEIPA kamah ni tila a ming uh ni. Amih te Israel imkhui kah capu conghol la om coeng.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah; because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Amih loh nang te na kut, kut ah n'tuuk vaengah na paep tih amih kah laengpang boeih na phen pah. Nang dongah a hangdang vaengah nim te na khaem sumsoek tih amih kah cinghen boeih na phit sak.
When they took hold of thee by thy handle, thou didst break and pierce their whole shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst go to pieces, and madest all their loins to shake.
8 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang taengah cunghang kang khuen vetih nang lamkah hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka thup ni.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee;
9 Tedae, 'Sokko te kamah ham tih kamah loh ka saii,’ a ti dongah Egypt khohmuen te khopong neh imrhong la a poeh vaengah BOEIPA kamah he a ming uh bitni.
and the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he hath said, “The river is mine, and I have made it.”
10 Te dongah namah neh na sokko khaw ka pai thil coeng ne. Egypt kho te Syene Migdol lamloh Kusah khorhi due kholing khopong kah imrhong la ka khueh ni.
Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers; and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol even to Syene, and to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 Te longah hlang kho loh paan pawt vetih rhamsa kho long khaw, te longah paan mahpawh. Kum sawmli khuiah khosa om mahpawh.
There shall not pass through it the foot of man, and the foot of beast shall not pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 Egypt khohmuen te khopong la ka khueh vaengah diklai hman ah pong ni. A khopuei rhoek khaw khopuei rhoek lakli ah a khah vetih kum sawmli khopong la om ni. Egypt te namtom taengla ka taek ka yak vetih amih te diklai ah ka haeh ni.
I will make the land of Egypt desolate amidst the lands that are desolate, and her cities, among the cities that are laid waste, shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kum sawmli a thok vaengah Egypt te ka taek ka yak nah pilnam taeng lamloh pahoi ka coi ni.
Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the nations whither they are scattered;
14 Egypt thongtla te ka mael puei vetih amih te amah tuikong khohmuen kah Parthros khohmuen la ka bal sak ni. Te vaengah tlarhoel ram la pahoi om uh ni.
and I will bring back the captives of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a mean kingdom;
15 Ram tom lakah tlarhoel la om vetih namtom soah koep cungphoek mahpawh. Amih te ka muei sak daengah ni namtom soah a taemrhai pawt eh.
it shall be the meanest of all kingdoms; it shall no more exalt itself above the nations; for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 Te vaengah a taengla amamih hooi uh tih thaesainah aka poek rhoek kah pangtungnah la Israel imkhui he om voel mahpawh. Te phoeiah Kai he, ka Boeipa Yahovah ni tila a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to my remembrance their iniquity in looking to them for help; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
17 Kum kul kum rhih, hla lamhma hnin at dongla a om vaengah BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 “Hlang capa aw, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Tyre te a caem kah thohtatnah a len neh a thohtat sak coeng. A lu khaw boeih tlong tih laengpang boeih thool coeng. Tedae amah ham neh a caem ham thapang om hae pawh. Tyre lamkah thohtatnah lamloh a taengah a thohtat sak.
Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet neither he nor his army had wages from Tyre for the service which he served against it.
19 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengah Egypt khohmuen ka paek coeng he. Te vaengah a hlangping te a khuen pah vetih a kutbuem khaw a buem pah ni. A maeh te a poelyoe pah vetih a caem ham thapang la om ni.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her plunder; and it shall be wages for his army.
20 A taengah a thohtat te khaw kai ham a saii uh dongah, a thaphu la anih te Egypt khohmuen ka paek. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
For his wages for his service I will give him the land of Egypt; for they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
21 Te khohnin ah Israel imkhui ham ki cawn ni. Te vaengah nang te amih lakli ah ka ongnah ka paek vetih BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni,” a ti.
In that day will I cause a horn to grow forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee to open the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
