Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.
1A kum rhih dongkah a hla nga nah hnin rha dongah a pha vaengah Israel a hamca khuikah hlang rhoek tah BOEIPA dawt ham ha pawk uh tih ka mikhmuh ah ngol uh.
2And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2Te vaengah BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,
3Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.
3“Hlang capa Israel a hamca rhoek te thui pah. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Kai dawt ham na pawk nama? Kai hingnah he nangmih ham kan dawt sak mahpawh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
4If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.
4“Amih te lai na tloek aya? Hlang capa aw lai na tloek aya? A napa rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te amih ming sak.
5And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:
5Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Israel ham ka coelh khohnin ah Jakob imkhui kah a tiingan te ka kut ka phuel. Egypt khohmuen ah amih te ka ming sak coeng. Te vaengah amih taengah ka kut ka phuel tih, 'Kai tah BOEIPA na Pathen ni,” ka ti nah.
6In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands.
6Te khohnin ah Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih doek ham amih te ka kut ka phuel pah. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen neh khohmuen pum kah a kirhang khaw amih ham ka yaam pah.
7And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
7Te dongah amih te thui pah. Hlang he a mik kah sarhingkoi te voei saeh lamtah Egypt mueirhol neh poeih uh boel saeh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni.
8But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
8Tedae kai he n'koek uh tih kai taengkah he hnatun ham a huem uh moenih. Hlang he a mik kah sarhingkoi te voei pawt tih Egypt mueirhol te a hnoo uh moenih. Te dongah ni amih soah ka kosi hawk ham neh Egypt khohmuen khui kah amih taengah ka thintoek sah ham ka thui.
9But I did otherwise for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
9Tedae ka ming ham ka saii dongah namtom mikhmuh ah ka poeih sak pawh. Te rhoek lakli ah khaw amih ham tah amamih mikhmuh ah ka phoe pah tih Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih kang khuen.
10Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.
10Te vaengah amih te Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka khuen uh tih amih te khosoek la ka thak.
11And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.
11Amih taengah ka khosing ka paek tih ka laitloeknah te amih ka ming sak. Te te aka vai hlang daeng ni te nen te a hing eh.
12Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.
12Ka Sabbath te khaw kamah laklo neh amih laklo ah miknoek la om ham neh, BOEIPA kamah loh amih ka ciim te ming sak ham amih taengah ka paek.
13But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.
13Tedae Israel imkhui loh khosoek ah kai he n'koek uh. Ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawt tih ka laitloeknah he a hnawt uh. Te te aka vai hlang tah te nen te hing ni. Ka Sabbath he poeng a poeih uh. Te dongah ni ka kosi he amih soah hawk ham neh khosoek ah amih khah ham ka thui.
14But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.
14Tedae ka ming ham ka saii dongah ni namtom mikhmuh ah a poeih pawh. Te rhoek mikhmuh lamloh amih te ka khuen.
15So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.
15Te phoeiah khohmuen khuila amih a kun pawt ham khosoek ah amih te ka kut ka phuel thil van. Khohmuen tom kah a kirhang neh suktui khoitui aka long te ka paek dae ta.
16Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.
16Ka laitloeknah te a hnawt uh tih ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawh. A lungbuei te a mueirhol hnuk a vai sak uh dongah ka Sabbath te a poeih uh.
17Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.
17Tedae amih a poci lamloh amih te ka mik loh a rhen tih amih te khosoek kah a bawtnah ah ka khueh pawh.
18And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:
18A ca rhoek te khosoek ah, 'Na pa rhoek kah oltlueh dongah pongpa uh boel lamtah amih kah laitloeknah te ngaithuen uh boeh. Amih kah mueirhol nen khaw poeih uh boeh.
19I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.
19Kai BOEIPA na Pathen kah ka khosing dongah pongpa uh. Ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen lamtah te te vai uh.
20And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.
20Te dongah ka Sabbath he ciim lamtah kai laklo neh nangmih laklo ah miknoek la om saeh. Kai tah nangmih kah BOEIPA na Pathen la nan ming uh ham om.
21But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shell live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.
21Tedae a ca rhoek loh kai he n'koek uh tih ka khosing dongah pongpa uh pawh. Ka laitloeknah te vai ham ngaithuen uh pawh. Te te aka vai hlang tah te nen te hing van ni. Ka Sabbath te a poeih uh. Te dongah ni amih soah ka kosi hawk ham neh amih te khosoek ah ka thintoek sah thil ham ka thui.
22But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.
22Tedae ka kut he ka yueh tih ka ming ham ka saii dongah namtom mikhmuh ah poeih uh pawh. Amih te te rhoek mikhmuh lamloh ka khuen.
23Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries:
23Namtom taengah amih taekyak ham neh diklai ah amih haeh ham khosoek ah amih te ka kut ka phuel thil bal.
24Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.
24Ka laitloeknah he vai uh pawt tih ka khosing te a hnawt uh. Ka Sabbath he a poeih uh tih amih mik loh a napa rhoek kah mueirhol hnukah a khueh uh.
25Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.
25Kai khaw amih taengah oltlueh ka paek dae then uh pawt tih tiktamnah neh hing uh pawh.
26And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
26A bung kah cacuek boeih te a doe vaengah amih kah kutdoe lamloh amamih te ka poeih sak. Amih te ka pong sak daengah ni BOEIPA kamah te m'ming uh eh.
27Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;
27Te dongah hlang capa aw Israel imkhui te voek. Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Kai he na pa rhoek loh n'hliphen uh tih boekoeknah la kai taengah boe a koek uh.
28And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.
28Amih te paek ham ka kut ka phuel thil khohmuen khuila amih te ka khuen. Te vaengah a sang la a hmuh som boeih neh thing bu boeih taengah amih kah hmueih te pahoi a ngawn uh. Tedae amih konoinah te nawnnah la hnap a paek uh tih a hmuehmuei botui te hnap a khueh uh daengah amih kah tuisi te a doeng uh.
29And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.
29Te dongah amih te, “Balae hmuensang la na mop thil uh te?” ka ti nah. Tedae a ming te tahae khohnin due Bamah la a khue.
30Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.
30Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui he Israel imkhui te thui pah. Na pa longpuei ah na poeih uh tih amih kah sarhingkoi hnukah na cukhalh uh nama?
31And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.
31Nangmih kah hmai te na ca rhoek paan sak ham na kutdoe na tloeng uh tih mueirhol cungkuem neh tihnin due na poeih uh. Israel imkhui nangmih long nim kai na dawt eh? Nangmih te kan dawt sak mahpawh. Kai hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
32Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.
32Thing neh lungto bawk ham namtom neh diklai huiko bangla om sih tila nangmih te na lungbuei ah kun cakhaw om rhoe om mahpawh.
33As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
33Kai tah hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Tlungluen kut neh ban ka thueng tih kosi ka hawk neh nangmih kan manghai thil het mahpawt nim?
34And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
34Nangmih te pilnam lamloh kang khuen vetih diklai lamloh nangmih te kan coi ni. Amih lakli ah tlungluen kut neh n'taekyak tih bantha a thueng phoeiah ni kosi neh ka hawk thil.
35And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
35Pilnam kah khosoek la nangmih te kang khuen vetih nangmih te na maelhmai, maelhmai ah lai kan tloek ni.
36As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God.
36Egypt khohmuen kah khosoek ah na pa rhoek lai ka tloek thil bangla nangmih soah lai ka tloek ni. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
37And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant.
37Nangmih te mancai hmuiah kam pah sak vetih paipi kah pinnah khuila nangmih kam pawk puei ni.
38And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
38Kai aka tloelh tih boe aka koek thil te nangmih lamloh ka kuet ni. A lampahnah khohmuen lamloh amih ka khuen cakhaw Israel khohmuen la kun mahpawh. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah he nan ming uh bitni.
39And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;
39Te dongah nangmih Israel imkhui ham ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Hlang te a mueirhol paan saeh lamtah thothueng ngawn saeh. Tedae a hnukah kai ol na hnatun uh ngawn mahpawh. Te cakhaw ka ming cim he na kutdoe neh, na mueirhol neh koep na poeih uh mahpawh.
40In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.
40He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Israel tlang sang kah ka tlang cim dongah diklai tom kah Israel imkhui tom loh kai m'bawk uh ni. Teah te amih ka doe vetih nangmih kah khosaa neh nangmih buham thaihcuek khaw, nangmih kah hnocim boeih te khaw ka toem ni.
41I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
41Nangmih te hmuehmuei botui la kan moeithen vaengah tah nangmih te pilnam rhoek lamloh kang khuen tih nangmih te diklai lamloh kan coi. Amih taengah n'taekyak cakhaw namtom mikhmuh kah nangmih lakli ah ka ciim uh bitni.
42And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.
42Israel khohmuen khuila nangmih kam pawk puei vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni. Te khohmuen te ni na pa rhoek taengah paek ham ka kut ka phuel thil.
43And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.
43Te vaengah na longpuei neh na khoboe rhamlang boeih te pahoi na poek uh bitni. Te loh m'poeih uh dongah nangmih kah boethae cungkuem na saii uh te khaw nangmih maelhmai te na ko- oek uh ni.
44And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name’s sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
44Aka poci Israel imkhui aw nangmih kah boethae longpuei tarhing ah pawt tih na khoboe rhamlang bangla ka ming ham nangmih kan saii vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni. He tah Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
45And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
45Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
46Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.
46“Hlang capa aw, na maelhmai tuithim longpuei la mael lah. Tuithim te saep lamtah tuithim khohmuen kah duup te tonghma thil thui loh Nagev khorham kah kohong khatben lam kah profet ol thui lah.
47And any to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the dame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.
47Tuithim duup te thui pah lamtah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh a thui BOEIPA ol he hnatun saeh. Nangmih taengah hmai ka hlup vetih nangmih kah thing a thingsup boeih neh thing koh boeih te a hlawp ni. Hmairhong hmaisai khaw thi pawt vetih tuithim lamloh tlangpuei duela maelhmai boeih te rhangto uh ni.
48And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.
48BOEIPA kamah loh ka toih tih a thih pawt te pumsa loh boeih a hmuh uh ni,” a ti.
49And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?
49Te dongah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw amih loh kai he, 'Anih te neh aka thuidoek pawt nim?' a ti uh,” ka ti.
