Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Saning takawtto, khrah hato haih, ni hato naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
kami capa, vaihni hae ani hoi akhrah hae tarik ah; Babylon siangpahrang mah hae na ni hoi kamtong Jerusalem vangpui to takui boeh.
3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.
Laisaep thaih imthung takoh ah patahhaih lok hoiah thui paeh, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Laom to khoeng ah loe a thungah tui to lawn ah:
4 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
ngan kahoih, aphaih hoi palaeng moinawk to la ah loe a thungah suem ah; kahoih ahuh to kakoi ah hnawt ah.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
Kahoih koek tuu moi to la ah, ahuhnawk to laom tlim ah pacaeng ah, ahuhnawk loe amtet nasoe, tiah thuih paeh, tiah ang naa.
6 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Athii kalongsak vangpui, nang loe khosak bing boeh! Moi to maeto pacoeng maeto thoe ah, nang loe sum aek mah caak ih athung bang ciim thai ai laom baktiah ni na oh boeh; taham khethaih phoisa to na nuiah amtim hmah nasoe.
7 “‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
Vangpui thungah anih mah athii to longsak, anih loe maiphu hoi aphum hanah athii to long ah krai ai, athii to kamtueng phaeng thlung nuiah ni a kraih;
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”
palungphui hoiah lu ka lak han; athii to aphum han ai ah, anih mah palongh ih athii to kamtueng phaeng thlung nuiah ka suek boeh, tiah thuih.
9 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Athii palong vangpui loe khosak bing! Kalen parai hmai to tik hanah thing to ka tapop han.
10 Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burnt.
Thing to tapop ah loe hmaitik ah, hmuihoih thuh ah loe, moi to patet ah, ahuhnawk loe hmai amngaeh o nasoe.
11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
To pacoengah tidoeh kaom ai laom akok to kamngaeh hmai nuiah khoeng ah, hmai mah laom to amngaeh sak tih, to tiah ni laom thung ih kakhoem tui to amkaw ueloe, sum aek to hmai mah kangh boih tih.
12 She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
Tha na pathok khing cadoeh azom pui ni, kakhoem to krah thai mak ai, hmai mah doeh cingsak thai mak ai.
13 “‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath towards you to rest.
Jerusalem, nang loe zaehaih hoi amhnoghaih hoiah na koi, kang pasaeh khing boeh, toe na ciim thai ai pongah, na nuiah palung ka phuihaih pha ai karoek to nam hnonghaih to na ciim thai mak ai, tiah thuih.
14 “‘“I, the LORD, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Kai, Angraeng mah thuih boeh; Kai loe ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak han, atue mah phak boeh; hnuk kang nawn let mak ai, ka paquem mak ai ueloe, dawnpakhuemhaih doeh ka tawn mak ai; na khok takanhaih hoi na sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, lok kang caek o han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
15 Also the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
16 “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
kami capa, khenah, mik na cop koek ih kami to kang lak pae ving han boeh; toe palungsae hmah loe, qah hmah, mikkhraetui doeh longsak hmah.
17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
Pauep ah, kadueh kami to qah haih hmah, lumuek to angmuek ah loe, khokpanai to abuen ah, pahni to khuk hmah, palungsae kami ih takaw to caa hmah, tiah ang naa.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
To pongah akhawn bangah kaminawk khaeah lok to ka thuih, duembang ah loe ka zu to duek ving; thuih ih lok baktih toengah akhawn bangah ka sak.
19 The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
To naah kaminawk mah, Hae tiah na sak ih hmuennawk mah kai hnuksak han koi timaw oh, nang thui mak ai maw? tiah ang naa o.
20 Then I said to them, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
To pongah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.
Israel imthung takoh khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Khenah, Kaimah ih hmuenciim, kahoih koek nangcae thacakhaih, na khet koeh o ih ahmuen, na paawt o duek ih hmuennawk to kam hnongsak han; na caeh o taak ih na capanawk hoi na canunawk loe sumsen hoiah dueh o tih.
22 You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
Ka sak ih baktih toengah na sah o toeng tih; pahni tamuep o hmah loe, palungsae kaminawk ih buh doeh caa o hmah.
23 Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one towards another.
Lumuek to angmuek oh loe, khokpanai to abuen oh; palungsae o hmah loe, qah o hmah; toe na zae o haih pongah ngan na zaek o ueloe, maeto hoi maeto na qah o haih tih.
24 Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”’”
Ezekiel loe nangcae han angmathaih ah om tih; a sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah na sah o toeng tih; hae hmuen phak naah, Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw ni, tito na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
25 “You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
Nang, kami capa, nihcae thacakhaih, anghoe o haih hoi lensawkhaih, a khet koeh o ih hmuen, a koeh o ih hmuennawk, a capanawk hoi a canunawk to ka lak pae han.
26 that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
To na niah kaloih kami to nang khaeah angzo ueloe, kangcoeng hmuen tamthang to na thui tih.
27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
Kaloih kami hnuk na niah na pakha to among tih, lok na pae hoi tih, lok na aa mak ai boeh; nang loe nihcae han angmathaih ah om tih; to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah ang naa.
