Ezekiel 33
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 “Hlang capa aw, na pilnam paca te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Khohmuen te cunghang ka muk thil vaengah khohmuen pilnam loh a khobawt lamkah hlang pakhat te a tuek uh tih anih te amamih kah rhaltawt la a khueh uh.
Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 cunghang loh khohmuen soah a tlak te a hmuh vaengah tuki a ueng tih pilnam te a thuituen.
If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Tuki ol te a yaak khaw a yaak dae a ngaihuet pawt dongah cunghang loh a tlak thil. Te vaengah anih a loh te a thii khaw amah lu dongah tla saeh.
Then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Tuki ol a yaak lalah a ngaihuet pawt atah amah thii ni amah soah a tlak eh. Amah a ngaihuet atah a hinglu a hlawt ni.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.
6 Tedae rhaltawt loh cunghang ha pawk te a hmuh lalah tuki te ueng pawt tih pilnam huek pawh. Te vaengah cunghang ha pawk tih amih lamkah a hinglu te a loh pa atah amah kathaesainah kongah yook mai cakhaw a thii te rhaltawt kut ah ni ka toem eh.
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 Nang hlang capa namah ni Israel imkhui kah rhaltawt la kang khueh coeng. Te dongah ka ka lamkah ol na yaak neh kai lamloh amih te huek laeh.
So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 Halang, halang te, 'Na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ka ti nah lalah halang te a longpuei lamloh ngaihuet sak ham na thui pawt atah, halang te amah kathaesainah dongah duek cakhaw a thii te tah nang kut ah ni ka toem eh.
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Tedae nang loh halang te a longpuei lamloh mael sak ham na huek lalah a longpuei lamloh a mael pawt atah amah thaesainah ah duek vetih nang tah na hinglu na huul ni.
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
10 Te dongah nang hlang capa, Israel imkhui te voek laeh. He he thui lamtah, 'Mamih kah boekoek neh mamih kah tholhnah ngawn tah mamih soah tla coeng. Amih kongah mamih m'muei uh tih metlae n'hing eh? 'ti saeh.
Therefore, O you son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus all of you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Amih te thui pah. Kai tah hingnah ni. He he Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Halang kah dueknah dongah khaw ka naep pawt dongah halang khaw a longpuei lamloh lat mael saeh lamtah hing saeh. Na boethae longpuei lamloh mael rhoe mael laeh. Balae tih Israel imkhui loh tarha na duek eh?
Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn all of you, turn all of you from your evil ways; for why will all of you die, O house of Israel?
12 Te dongah nang hlang capa loh na pilnam paca te thui pah. A boekoek hnin ah tah aka dueng kah duengnah loh anih te huul mahpawh. A halangnah lamloh a mael khohnin ah halang kah halangnah dongah khaw tongtah mahpawh. Aka dueng khaw a tholh khohnin ah tah tholh neh a hing ham coeng pawh.
Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.
13 Aka dueng te hing rhoe hing ni ka ti sitoe cakhaw anih te amah kah duengnah dongah pangtung tih dumlai saii koinih anih kah duengnah boeih te a duengnah la poek uh mahpawh. A dumlai a saii dongah te amah ni a duek eh.
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Halang te duek rhoe duek ni ka ti bal sitoe cakhaw a tholhnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii.
Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 A halang akhaw hnohol te a mael tih a huenkoe te koep a thuung, hingnah khosing dongah pongpa tih dumlai a saii pawt atah hing roe hing vetih duek mahpawh.
If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 A tholhnah cungkuem neh a tholh te a a taengah tholhnah poek uh pawt vetih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii dongah hing rhoe hing ni.
None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned unto him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Te vaengah na pilnam paca loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,” ti uh cakhaw amih kah a longpuei ni a tiktam pawh.
Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 Aka dueng khaw a duengnah lamloh mael tih dumlai a saii atah te dongah te duek van ni.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 Halang khaw a halangnah lamloh mael tih tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii atah te nen te anih hing ni.
But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 'Ka Boeipa kah longpuei tiktam pawh,’ na ti uh dae hlang he a longpuei tarhing ah ni nang Israel imkhui te lai kan tloek eh?,” a ti.
Yet all of you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O all of you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 Kaimih hlangsol kah kum hlai nit hla rha hnin nga a lo vaengah Jerusalem lamkah hlangyong te kai taengla ha pawk tih, “Khopuei a tloek coeng,” a ti.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Hlangyong ha pawk hmai kah kholaeh ah BOEIPA kut te kai soah om coeng. Te dongah kai taengla aka pawk taengah mincang due ka ka a ong. Ka ka a ong tangloeng vaengah tah ka khuep voel pawh.
Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ah ha pawk tih,
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 “Hlang capa aw, Israel khohmuen imrhong kah khosa rhoek loh, 'Abraham pakhat bueng ni om tih khohmuen a pang mai. Tedae kaimih he yet ham he kamamih taengah khohmuen ni khoh la m'paek,” a ti uh.
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Te dongah amih taengah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah a thui he thui pah. Thii te na caak uh tih na mik te na mueirhol taengla na huel. Thii na kingling cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; All of you eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall all of you possess the land?
26 Na cunghang dongah na pangnal uh tih tueilaehkoi na saii uh. Hlang long he a hui kah yuu te na poeih uh cingah nim khohmuen na pang eh?
All of you stand upon your sword, all of you work abomination, and all of you defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall all of you possess the land?
27 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Hingnah khaw kamah coeng dongah imrhong khuikah rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh het mahpawt nim? Te phoeiah khohmuen hoeng kah te mulhing taengla ka paek vetih anih te a ngaeh ni. Rhalmahim khui neh lungko khuikah te khaw duektahaw nen ni a duek uh eh.
Say you thus unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 Khohmuen te khopong neh a rhaerhap la ka khueh vetih a hoemdamnah a sarhi a kangkuen sak ni. Te vaengah Israel tlang te pong vetih aka paan om mahpawh.
For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Tedae BOEIPA kamah loh khohmuen te khopong neh rhaerhap la ka khueh khaw amamih kah tueilaehkoi cungkuem a saii uh dongah ni tila a ming uh bitni.
Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 “Nang hlang capa aw na pilnam paca loh nang te pangbueng kaep neh im thohka taengah n'thui uh. Hlang pakhat loh a manuca te kang a voek tih, 'Lo laeh lamtah BOEIPA taeng lamkah hang khuen ol he hnatun uh,’ a ti.
Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
31 Nang taengah khotlak pilnam bangla ha pawk uh van tih ka pilnam bangla na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh. Na ol te a yaak uh van akhaw te te a vai uh moenih. A ka dongah hlampan uh ngawn cakhaw a lungbuei ah amamih kah mueluemnah dongah a pongpa te a phoe uh.
And they come unto you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness.
32 Nang te amih taengah sakthen ol neh hlampan laa banghui ni ne. Na ol yaak sak ham balh na tum akhaw te te aka vai a om uh hae moenih.
And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.
33 Tedae te te ha pawk vaengah tah rhep ha pawk vetih amih lakli ah tonghma a om te a ming uh bitni,” a ti.
And when this comes to pass, (lo, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
