1Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
2“Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them, appointing him as their watchman,
2kami capa, nangmah ih acaengnawk khaeah lokthui ah, nihcae khaeah, prae maeto khaeah sumsen ka sinh naah, prae kaminawk mah misatoep kami maeto suem o nahaeloe,
3and he sees the sword coming against that land and blows the ram’s horn to warn the people.
3to kami mah prae thungah angzo sumsen to hnuk naah, kaminawk acoe hanah, mongkah to ueng tih;
4Then if anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to heed the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
4mi kawbaktih mah doeh mongkah lok to a thaih, toe acoe ai pongah sumsen mah a hinghaih to la ving nahaeloe, anih ih athii loe angmah lu nuiah krah let tih.
5Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to heed the warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.
5Mongkah lok to a thaih, toe acoe ai pongah, angmah ih athii loe angmah lu nuiah krah let tih. Toe acoehaih tawn kami loe a hinghaih to pahlong tih.
6But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.’
6Misatoep kami loe angzo sumsen to a hnuk, toe mongkah to ueng ai, kaminawk han acoehaih paek ai pongah, sumsen to angzo moe, kami maeto hinghaih to la nahaeloe, to kami loe angmah zaehaih pongah hinghaih to lak ah oh, toe anih ih athii tho loe misatoep kami khaeah ka lak han, tiah thuih.
7As for you, O son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word from My mouth and give them the warning from Me.
7Aw kami capa, nang loe Israel imthung takhoh toepkung ah kang suek boeh; to pongah ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah loe, ka lok hoi nihcae to acoehaih paek ah.
8If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ but you do not speak out to dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.
8Kahoih ai kami khaeah kaimah, Aw kami zae, nang loe na dueh tangtang tih, tiah ka thuih; to naah kahoih ai kami a caehhaih loklam hoi amlaem let hanah acoehaih na paek ai pongah, to kami zae to a zaehaih pongah dueh ving nahaeloe, a nih ih athi tho to na ban ah ka suk han.
9But if you warn the wicked man to turn from his way, and he does not turn from it, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.
9Toe kami zae a caehhaih loklam hoi amlaem let hanah acoehaih lok na thuih pae to mah, a caehhaih loklam hoiah amlaem let ai, to naah anih loe a zaehaih pongah dueh ving nahaeloe, na hinghaih to na pahlong boeh.
10Now as for you, son of man, tell the house of Israel that this is what they have said: ‘Our transgressions and our sins are heavy upon us, and we are wasting away because of them! How can we live?’
10To pongah kami capa, Israel imthung takoh khaeah, Aicae loe aimacae sakpazaehaih hoi zaehaih to a phawh o moe, tha a zok o nahaeloe, kawbangmaw a hing o thai tih? tiah thui paeh.
11Say to them: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’
11Nihcae khaeah, Kai ka hing baktih toengah, kami zae duekhaih nuiah anghoehaih ka tawn ai, toe kami zae to a caehhaih loklam hoiah amlaem let moe, hinghaih hnuk pongah anghoehaih ka tawnh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih; amlaem ah, kahoih ai na loklamnawk hoiah amlaem ah; Aw Israel imthung takoh, tipongah na duek han loe? tiah thui paeh.
12Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’
12To pongah kami capa, nangmah ih acaengnawk khaeah, Katoeng kami mah zaehaih sah let nahaeloe, canghni ih toenghaih mah anih to pahlong thai mak ai; kasae kami mah a sakpazaehaih to amlaem taak nahaeloe, canghni ih zaehaih mah anih to amtimsak mak ai; katoeng kami doeh zaehaih sah let nahaeloe, canghni ih toenghaih mah anih to hingsak thai mak ai.
13If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.
13Kami katoeng khaeah, Anih loe hing tangtang tih, tiah ka thuih; toe anih loe a toenghaih to oep pongah, kahoih ai hmuen to sah nahaeloe, canghni ah a sak ih katoeng hmuen maeto mataeng doeh pakuem pae mak ai; anih loe a sak ih kasae hmuen pongah dueh tih.
14But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—
14Kami zae khaeah, Nang loe na dueh tangtang tih, tiah ka naa; toe anih loe a zaehaih thung hoiah amlaem let moe, zaehoihhaih daan baktiah katoeng hmuen to a sak;
15if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
15kami zae mah kang paek let han hmang, tiah sak ih lokkamhaih baktiah anih mah coi ih hmuen to paek let, a paquk ih hmuen doeh a paek let moe, zaehaih sah ai ah hinghaih loklam to pazui nahaeloe, anih loe dueh mak ai, hing tangtang tih.
16None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
16A sak ih zaehaihnawk maeto doeh pakuem pae mak ai boeh; katoeng hmuen hoi zaehhoihaih daan baktiah hmuen to a sak boeh pongah, anih loe hing tangtang tih.
17Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just.
17Toe nang ih acaengnawk mah, Angraeng lokcaekhaih loe toeng ai, tiah thuih o; toe nihcae lokcaekhaih ni toeng ai.
18If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.
18Katoeng kami loe a toenghaih to caehtaak moe, hmuen kasae sah nahaeloe, anih loe a sak ih hmuen pongah dueh tih.
19But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.
19Toe kami zae loe a zaehaih hoi amlaem moe, zaehhoihaih daan baktiah kahoih hmuen hoi katoeng hmuen to sah nahaeloe, a sak ih hmuen pongah anih loe hing tih.
20Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
20Toe nangcae mah Sithaw lokcaekhaih loe toeng ai, tiah na thuih o; Aw Israel imthung takoh, kami boih a caeh o haih loklam baktih toengah lok ka caek han, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
21In the twelfth year of our exile, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken!”
21Tamna ah ohhaih saning hathlai hnetto, krah hato haih, ni pangato naah, Jerusalem hoi loih kami maeto kai khaeah angzoh moe, vangpui loe amtimh boeh, tiah ang thuih.
22Now the evening before the fugitive arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.
22To tiah kacawn kami to kai khae angzo ai na ih ani duembang ah, Angraeng ih ban ka nuiah oh; akhawnbang ah loe to kami to kai khaeah angzoh, to naah kai ih pakha ang paongh pae, to pongah kai ih pakha loe amongh, to naah kai loe lokaa ah ka om ai boeh.
23Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
23To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
24“Son of man, those living in the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as a possession.’
24kami capa, kamro Israel prae ah kaom kaminawk mah, Abraham angmah khue mataeng doeh, prae to a toep; aicae loe a pop o parai, to pongah prae toep hanah aicae han paek boeh, tiah thuih o.
25Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You eat meat with the blood in it, lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then possess the land?
25To pongah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Nangcae loe athii hoiah moi to na caak o, na sak o ih krangnawk na bok o moe, kami ih athii to na palong o, to tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw prae to na toep o vop tih?
26You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then possess the land?’
26Nangmacae ih sumsen pongah nam ha o moe, panuet thok hmuen to na sak o, na imtaeng kaminawk ih zu to na parueng pae o, to tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw prae to na toep o thai vop tih? tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
27Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.
27Angraeng Sithaw mah, Hae kaminawk khaeah, Kai ka hing baktih toengah, kamro prae thungah kaom kaminawk loe sumsen hoiah amtim o tih, azawn ah kaom kaminawk loe moi kasannawk ih rawkcak ah ka paek han, kacak sipae thung hoi thlung khaw thungah kaom kaminawk loe, kasae nathaih hoiah dueh o tih.
28I will make the land a desolate waste, and the pride of her strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, so that no one will pass through.
28Kai mah prae to kanung aep ah ka pongsak sut moe, thacak anih amoekhaih to ka boengsak han; Israel ih maenawk loe pong o sut tih, mi doeh to ah caeh o mak ai boeh.
29Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’
29A sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk pongah, prae to kanung aep ah ka pongsak sut naah, nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
30As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’
30To pacoengah Kami capa, nangmah ih acaengnawk mah, nang kawng to sipae hoi khongkhanawk taengah a thuih o, angmah ih nawkamya khaeah, Angraeng khae hoi angzo lok to tahngaih hanah angzo ah, tiah a naa o.
31So My people come to you as usual, sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain.
31Minawk mah sak o ih baktih toengah, kai ih kaminawk loe nang khaeah angzoh o, kai ih kaminawk baktiah na hmaa ah anghnut o moe, na lok to tahngai o, toe sah o mak ai; pakha hoiah amlunghaih to a thuih o, toe nihcae ih palung loe uthaih hoiah koi o.
32Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.
32Khenah, nang loe nihcae hanah katoeng kruek kop, taaw kahoih kami maeto mah sak ih, koeh koi kaom laa baktiah na oh pae, nihcae loe na lok to thaih o, toe sah o ai.
33So when it comes to pass—and surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
33Toe hae baktih hmuennawk loe pha tangtang tih, to hmuennawk loktang ah phak naah loe khenah, angmacae salakah tahmaa oh vaih boeh, tito nihcae mah panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
