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.
1In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down before me.
2Te vaengah BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,
2Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
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.
3“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.
4“Amih te lai na tloek aya? Hlang capa aw lai na tloek aya? A napa rhoek kah tueilaehkoi te amih ming sak.
4Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers
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.
5and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’
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.
6On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.
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.
7And I said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’
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.
8But they rebelled against Me and refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in 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.
9But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10Te vaengah amih te Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka khuen uh tih amih te khosoek la ka thak.
10So I brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.
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.
11And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by 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.
12I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies 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.
13Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
14Tedae ka ming ham ka saii dongah ni namtom mikhmuh ah a poeih pawh. Te rhoek mikhmuh lamloh amih te ka khuen.
14But I acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
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.
15Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—
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.
16because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.
17Tedae amih a poci lamloh amih te ka mik loh a rhen tih amih te khosoek kah a bawtnah ah ka khueh pawh.
17Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.
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.
18In the wilderness I said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19Kai BOEIPA na Pathen kah ka khosing dongah pongpa uh. Ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen lamtah te te vai uh.
19I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them.
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.
20Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’
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.
21But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the wilderness.
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.
22But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
23Namtom taengah amih taekyak ham neh diklai ah amih haeh ham khosoek ah amih te ka kut ka phuel thil bal.
23However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.
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.
24For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.
25Kai khaw amih taengah oltlueh ka paek dae then uh pawt tih tiktamnah neh hing uh pawh.
25I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.
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.
26And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire—so that I might devastate them, in order that they would know that I am the LORD.
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.
27Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: In this way also your fathers blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.
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.
28When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that provoked Me, sent up their fragrant incense, and poured out their drink offerings.
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.
29So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)
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?
30Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did, prostituting yourselves with their abominations?
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.
31When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted by you!
32Thing neh lungto bawk ham namtom neh diklai huiko bangla om sih tila nangmih te na lungbuei ah kun cakhaw om rhoe om mahpawh.
32When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.
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?
33As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.
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.
34With a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered.
35Pilnam kah khosoek la nangmih te kang khuen vetih nangmih te na maelhmai, maelhmai ah lai kan tloek ni.
35And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, where I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
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.
36Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.
37Nangmih te mancai hmuiah kam pah sak vetih paipi kah pinnah khuila nangmih kam pawk puei ni.
37I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
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.
38And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
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.
39And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.
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.
40For on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.
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.
41When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through you in the sight of the nations.
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.
42Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.
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.
43There you will remember your ways and all the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils you have done.
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.
44Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares the Lord GOD.”
45Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah ha pawk tih,
45Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
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.
46“Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against it, and prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
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.
47Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.
48BOEIPA kamah loh ka toih tih a thih pawt te pumsa loh boeih a hmuh uh ni,” a ti.
48Then all people will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it will not be quenched.”
49Te dongah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw amih loh kai he, 'Anih te neh aka thuidoek pawt nim?' a ti uh,” ka ti.
49Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”
