Ezekiel 29

1 Kum hra, thapa yung hra, hnin hlaikahni navah, BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha teh,

In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 tami capa Izip siangpahrang Faro taranlahoi kangdout sin nateh ahni hoi Izip ram pueng taranlahoi lawk pâpho haw.

“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt; prophesy against him and against all of Egypt.

3 Pato nateh Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei e hah dei pouh haw, Izip siangpahrang Faro, tuipui lungui dawk ka tabawk e, takikathopoung e khorui, tuipui heh kaie doeh, kama hanelah ka sak e doeh katetkung nang hah na taran.

Declare and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You, the great sea monster that lurks in the midst of the river, that says, “My river is my own. I have made it for myself.”

4 Hateiteh na pâkha dawk hradang hoi na vawi vaiteh, tuipui dawk e tanganaw hah nange na lakep dawk ka kâbet sak han, nange tuipui lungui hoi kai ni ka rasa han, tuipui dawk kaawm e tanganaw, nange na lakep dawk ka kâbet sak han.

For I will place hooks in your jaw, and the fish of your Nile will cling to your scales; I will lift you up from the middle of your river along with all the fish of the river that cling to your scales.

5 Nang hoi na tuipui dawk e tanga pueng hah, kahrawngum na ceitakhai vaiteh, kahrawngum vah na bo han, na racawng vaiteh bout na pâkhueng mahoeh toe, kahrawng e sarang hoi kalvan e tavanaw e rawca lah na poe han.

I will throw you down into the wilderness, you and all the fish from your river. You will fall on the open field; you will not be gathered nor lifted up. I will give you as food to the living things of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.

6 Isarel imthung hanelah lungpum sonron patetlah ao dawkvah, Izip vah kho ka sak e pueng ni, kai heh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.

Then all the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a reed stalk to the house of Israel.

7 Kut hoi na man awh navah khoe pouh teh, ahnimae loungnaw pueng na rakhing pouh, nang dawk a kamngawi awh navah, nang na kâkhoe vaiteh ahnimae a keng na pataw sak.

When they took hold of you in their hand, you broke and tore open their shoulder; and when they leaned on you, you were broken, and you caused their legs to be unsteady.

8 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! na lathueng vah tahloi ka pha sak vaiteh, tami hoi saringnaw be ka thei han.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will bring a sword against you. I will cut off both man and beast from you.

9 Izip ram teh tami kingdi lah ao han, hahoi kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o e hah a panue awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui hai kaie lah ao teh, ka sak e doeh, telah ati.

So the land of Egypt will become desolate and a ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because the sea monster had said, “The river is mine, for I have made it.”

10 Hatdawkvah, kai ni na taran teh, nange tuipui Migdol hoi Syene, Ethiopia khori totouh, Izip ram teh tahloi hoi be ka thei vaiteh kingdi lah ka o sak han.

Therefore, behold! I am against you and against your river, so I will give the land of Egypt over to desolation and waste, and you will become a wasteland from the Migdol to Syene and the borders of Cush.

11 A kum 40 totouh tami cet mahoeh. Saring hai cet mahoeh, apihai karingkung awm mahoeh.

No man's foot will pass through it, and no wild animal's foot will pass through it. It will not be inhabited for forty years.

12 Ka rawk e ramnaw dawk Izip ram teh kai ni ka raphoe han, tami kingdinae khonaw dawk a kum 40 touh Izip ramnaw dawk a rawk awh han. Izipnaw hah a ram tangkuem koe kai ni kâkayei sak han.

For I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of uninhabited lands, and its cities in the midst of wasted cities will become a desolation for forty years; then I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them though the lands.

13 Hateiteh, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, kum 40 a pha hnukkhu Izip heh a kâkayeinae koehoi tamihu koehoi ka kaw vaiteh, ka pâkhueng han.

For the Lord Yahweh says this: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14 Izipnaw hah santoungnae koehoi ka bankhai vaiteh, a onae ram dawk kârahnoum e uknaeram lah ao awh han.

I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the region of Pathros, to the land of their origin. Then they will be a lowly kingdom there.

15 Jentelnaw hah bout uk awh mahoeh, uknaeramnaw pueng dawk kathoungcalah ao han, alouke miphun hah bout uk sak hoeh nahanlah ka rahnoum sak han.

It will be the lowliest of the kingdoms, and it will not be lifted up any more among the nations. I will diminish them so they will no longer rule over nations.

16 Ahnimouh koelah kangvawi e pueng ni a payonnae a kâpanue awh dawkvah, Isarelnaw kâuepkhai poung e lah awm mahoeh, hahoi Bawipa Jehovah lah ka o tie a panue awh han.

The Egyptians will no longer be a reason for confidence for the house of Israel. Instead, they will be a reminder of the iniquity that Israel committed when they turned to Egypt for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.'”

17 Kum 27, thapa yung pasuek, hnin pasuek nah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,

Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18 tami capa Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni Taire taranlahoi thaw kalenpoung tawk hanelah, a ransahu hah a patoun. Tami pueng tampasam a nganae hoi aloungnaw be a kâpin toe, hatei, ama hoi a ransahu ni hai thaw a tawk awh e dawk Taire koe hoi a meknae banghai hmawt awh hoeh.

“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was rubbed until it was made bald, and every shoulder was made raw. Yet he and his army received no payment from Tyre for the hard work that he carried out against it.

19 Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Izip ram teh, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar koevah ka poe han, a hnopai moikapap lah a lawp vaiteh, lawphno lah be ao vaiteh, hot teh ransahu e tawkphu lah ao han.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages.

20 Kaie thaw a tawk awh dawkvah, Izip ram heh a tawkphu lah ka poe telah Bawipa Jehovah ni ati.

I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

21 Hote hnin navah, Isarel imthung hanelah, ki ka cawn sak han. Ahnimouh koe na pahni ka ang sak han, hottelah hoi BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah a panue awh han telah ati.

On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
