Ezekiel 14
1 Isarel kacuenaw tangawn kai koe a tho awh teh, ka hmalah a tahung awh.
Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
2 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
3 tami capa, hetnaw ni amae meikaphawknaw hah a lungthin dawk a kâen sak awh teh, a hmalah a yonae dawk tâlawnae hah a hruek awh teh, ahnimouh ni pouknae hei hanelah ka o pouh han namaw.
“Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts and have put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their own faces. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
4 Hatdawkvah, pato nateh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Isarel imthung koe tami pueng ni meikaphawk a lungthin thung a kâen sak teh, hotnaw e hmalah payonnae dawk a rawpnae hah hruek pouh teh, profetnaw koe ka tho pueng, kai BAWIPA ni amae meikaphawk a pap e hoi kamcu lah ka pathung han.
Therefore announce this to them and say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, or who puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and who then comes to a prophet—I, Yahweh, will answer him according to the number of his idols.
5 Isarel imthung ni amae meikaphawk kecu dawk hoi na ceitakhai awh dawkvah, a lungthin katang dawkvah ka kuet thai nahanelah telah ati.
I will do this so that I may take back the house of Israel in their hearts that have been driven far from me through their idols.'
6 Hatdawkvah, Isarel imthung koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ban awh nateh, namamae meikaphawk koehoi ban awh. Panuet na thonae pueng cettakhai awh.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Repent and turn away from your idols! Turn back your faces from all your abominations.
7 Isarel imthung dawk tami bangpatet hai thoseh, Isarel ram e kho ka sak pueng thoseh kai koehoi a kamlang teh, a lungthin dawk meikaphawk a kâen sak lahoi a hmalah payonnae dawk rawpnae hah hruek e lahoi, ahnimouh kong dawk pouknae hei hanelah, profet koevah ka tho e pueng teh kai BAWIPA roeroe ni ka pathung awh han.
For every one from the house of Israel and every one of the foreigners staying in Israel who deserts me, who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his own face, and who then comes to a prophet to seek me—I, Yahweh, will answer him myself.
8 Hote tami teh, ka kangdue sin vaiteh, noutnae, cingthuinae lah ka hruek han. Ahni hah ka taminaw koehoi ka takhoe han. BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
So I will set my face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, for I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
9 Bang hno pueng dei hanelah, profet hah pasawt pawiteh, hote profet teh kai BAWIPA ni ka pasawt e lah ao teh, ama taranlahoi ka kut ka dâw vaiteh, ka tami Isarelnaw thung hoi ka pâmit han.
If a prophet is deceived and speaks a message, then I, Yahweh, will deceive that prophet; I will reach out with my hand against him and destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 A payonnae hah a phu awh han. Profet reknae hoi pouknae kahetkung reknae hah a kâvan han.
They will carry their own iniquity; the iniquity of the prophet will be the same as the iniquity of the one who inquires from him.
11 Isarel imthung teh kai koehoi kahmat awh hoeh toung vaiteh, a payonnae pueng ni a kamhnawng sak hoeh nahanelah, ka tami lah ao awh toung dawkvah, a Cathut lah ka o thai nahan, Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei tet pouh, telah ati.
Because of this, the house of Israel will no longer wander away from following me nor defile themselves any longer through all their transgressions. They will be my people, and I will be their God—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
12 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
13 tami capa, ram dawk e taminaw ni kâlawk a tapoe awh teh, kaie lathueng yonnae a sak e lahoi, kai ni ka kut ka dâw teh, a hringnae a kungpui, a rawcanaw raphoe pouh e lahoi ahnimouh lathueng takang ka tho sak e lahoi tami hoi saringnaw ka pâmit toteh,
“Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a sin so that I reach out with my hand against it and break the staff of its bread, and send out over it a famine and cut off both man and beast from the land;
14 Hete tami kathum touh: Noah, Daniel, hoi Job patenghai awm awh haw pawiteh, a lannae ni amamae hringnae dueng doeh rungngang thai awh tih, telah Jehovah ni a dei.
then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in the land's midst, they could only rescue their own lives by their righteousness—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
15 A ram hah sarang katin sak vaiteh, ram hah ka raphoe dawkvah, apihai ao thai hoeh dawkvah, tami kingdi pawiteh,
If I send evil beasts through the land and make it barren so that it becomes a wasteland where no man may pass through because of the beasts,
16 hete tami kathum touh kaawm nakunghai ka hring e Bawipa Jehovah ni telah a dei, amamae a canu capa naw rungngang thai kalawn mahoeh. Amamanaw dueng rungngang e lah ao awh vaiteh, a ram teh kingdi lah doeh bout ao han.
then even if these same three men were in it—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued, but the land would become a wasteland.
17 Hoehpawiteh a ram dawk tahloi ka hno vaiteh, tahloi kâroe haw ka tet boilah, tami hoi moithang pueng koung ka pâmit pawiteh,
Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, 'Sword, go through the land and cut off both man and beast from it',
18 Hete tami kathum touh kaawm nakunghai Bawipa Jehovah a hring e patetlah a canu capa naw rungngang thai kalawn mahoeh. Amamae hringnae dueng hah a rungngang thai awh han.
then even if these three men were in the midst of the land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued.
19 Nahoeh pawiteh, a ram dawk lacik ka pha sak vaiteh, tami hoi moithang be pâmit hanlah thingpalawngnae lahoi ka lungkhueknae hah a ram dawk ka awi pawiteh,
Or if I send a plague against this land and pour out my fury against it through bloodshed, in order to cut off both man and beast,
20 Noah, Daniel, hoi Job ahnimouh kaawm awh nakunghai, Bawipa Jehovah ni kai ka hring e patetlah a canu a capa naw hai rungngang mahoeh. A lannae ni amamae hringnae dueng a rungngang awh han telah, BAWIPA ni a dei.
then even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that land—as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh—they would not be able to rescue even their own sons or daughters; only their own lives would be rescued by their righteousness.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Jerusalem lathueng vah, ka patawpoung e ka lawkcengnae pali touh: tahloi, takang, sarang hoi lacik hah tami hoi saring be pâmit hanelah ka pha sak toteh, banghloine a pataw han.
For the Lord Yahweh says this: I will certainly make things worse by sending my four punishments—famine, sword, wild animals, and plague—against Jerusalem to cut off both man and beast from her.
22 Hatei khenhaw! hawvah, kaawm rae tâcokhai hanelah, pâhlung lah ao han. Canu capa naw hai, khenhaw! nangmouh koe a tho awh han. A hringnae hoi a tawksak awh e hah, na hmu awh han. Hahoi Jerusalem lathueng vah, hawihoehnae kaphasaknae kong dawkvah, lung na mawng sak awh han. A lathueng hno ka pha sak e pueng dawk a lungmawng awh han.
Yet, behold! A remnant will be left in her, survivors who will go out with sons and daughters. Behold! They will go out to you, and you will see their ways and actions and be comforted concerning the punishment that I have sent to Jerusalem, and about everything else that I have sent against the land.
23 A hringnae hoi a tawksaknae hah na hmu awh toteh, na lung a mawng sak awh han. A lathueng ka sak e pueng a khuekhaw awm laipalah ka sak hoeh tie na panue awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei, telah ati.
The survivors will comfort you when you see their ways and their actions, so you will know all these things I have done against her, that I have not done them in vain!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
