Ezekiel 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
1BOEIPA ol he kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
2“Hlang capa, Israel imkhui te olkael neh voek lamtah thuidoeknah neh thuidoek lah.
3and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar;
3Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. atha len rhoe len tih a phae mul khaw sai. A dii te khaw rhaekva bangla phung. Lebanon la a pawk vaengah lamphai thingsoi ah cu.
4He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
4A thingsam soi te a hlaek tih Kanaan kho la a khuen. Te phoeiah thenpom khopuei ah a ten.
5He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters, he set it as a slip.
5Khohmuen cangti te khaw a loh tih cangti khohmuen ah a tuh. Tairhi te a loh tih tui taengah khawk a sut.
6And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
6A duei vaengah misur bangla om tih a sang khaw a toem la cawn. A hlaeng khaw amah taengla ngoi tih a dang ah a yung om van. Te dongah misur bangla om tih amah a saii neh thingsam la cawn.
7There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
7Tedae atha pakhat tah a phae a len, len neh om tih a dii khaw phung. Te vaengah misur te anih taengla a yung a hlak tih canglak kah a thingling te suep ham a hlaeng anih taengla a voeih.
8It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately vine.
8A hlaeng saii ham neh a thaih thaih sak ham, misur bangla a bu om sak ham khohmuen then neh tui taengah muep a phung.
9Say thou: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither, yea, wither in all its sprouting leaves? neither shall great power or much people be at hand when it is plucked up by the roots thereof.
9Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Thaihtak ni ti nah. A yung pat vetih a thaih khaw hul mahpawt nim? A dawn thingsuep te boeih a rhae akhaw rhae mai veh. A yung lamloh a kuel ham khaw pilnam a yet neh bantha a len a kuek moenih.
10Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? In the beds where it grew it shall wither.'
10A phung dae thaihtak aya he? Anih te khothoeng yilh loh a yawn vaengah rhae rhoe rhae vetih canglak kah a thingdawn pataeng rhae mahpawt nim?,” a ti.
11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
11BOEIPA ol te kai taengla koep ha pawk tih,
12'Say now to the rebellious house: Know ye not what these things mean? tell them: Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon;
12Boekoek imkhui te thui pah laeh. He tla a thui he na ming pawt nim? Babylon manghai loh Jerusalem a paan tih a manghai neh a mangpa rhoek khaw a khuen coeng ke. Amih te a taengah Babylon la a khuen coeng.
13and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away;
13Mangpa tiingan lamkah te a khuen tih a taengah paipi a saii pah. Anih te olcaeng hmuiah kun tih khohmuen thingnu te a loh.
14that his might be a lowly kingdom, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
14Tlarhoel ram la om sak tih soekloek pawt ham, a paipi ngaithuen ham neh thoh sak ham a saii.
15But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
15Amah ham marhang neh pilnam muep dang ham Egypt la puencawn a tueih neh anih te a tloelh dae thaihtak aya? Te te aka saii te loeih aya? Paipi aka phae khaw loeih aya?
16As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
16Kai tah hingnah ni tite ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Manghai khohmuen ah anih te ka manghai sak. A olcaeng a sit tih a taengkah a paipi te a phae dongah Babylon lakli ah duek saeh.
17Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company succour him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls;
17Caemtloek vaengkah tanglung lun ham neh hinglu muep aka phae labuep akhoeng vaengah Pharaoh lohanih a saii te tatthai tanglue, pilnu hlangping nen moenih.
18seeing he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
18Paipi phae ham olcaeng a hnoel van dongah a kut duen cakhaw a cungkuem a saii he loeih mahpawh ne.
19Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely Mine oath that he hath despised, and My covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.
19Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai he hingnah pawt bangla ka olcaeng a sit tih ka paipi aka hnalval te amah lu ah ni ka thoeng sak eh.
20And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his treachery that he hath committed against Me.
20Anih te ka lawk ka tung pah vetih ka rhalvong dongah man ni. Anih te Babylon la ka khuen vetih a boekoeknah neh kai taengah boe a koek te anih soah lai ka tloek ni.
21And all his mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
21A hlangyong, a hlangyong boeih tah a caembong boeih khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih aka sueng rhoek te khohli cungkuem taengla a thaek uh ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kamah loh ka thui te na ming bitni.
22Thus saith the Lord GOD: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent;
22Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Kai loh lamphai thingsang thingsoi lamkah ka loh vetih thingsam lamkah ka phung ni. A dawn mongkawt te ka hlaek vetih tlang sang palek ah ka phung ni.
23in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
23Israel tlang sang ah ka phung vaengah a hlaeng cawn vetih a thaih thai ni. Te vaengah aka khuet lamphai la om vetih a soah vaa cungkuem loh kho a sak. A hlaeng hlipkhup kah a hmoi tomah om uh ni.
24And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I the LORD have spoken and have done it.'
24Te vaengah khohmuen kah thing boeih loh BOEIPA kamah he m'ming uh ni. Thing sang te ka kunyun sak tih, thing toem te ka sang sak. Thing a thingsup khaw ka koh sak tih thing koh khaw ka saihnim sak. Kai BOEIPA loh ka thui bangla ka saii ni.
