1 Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Goe meloa dedei moma! Amasea, Isala: ili dunuma olelela masa!”
“Son of man,” he told me, “eat what you find placed before you. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 Amalalu, na lafi dagale, E da meloa bioi na moma: ne i.
I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Gode amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Meloa bioi Na iabe goe moma! Dia hagomo sadima: ne moma.” Amalalu, na mai dagoi. Ea hedai da agime hano ea hedai agoai nabi.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “eat and fill yourself up with this scroll I'm giving you.” So I ate the scroll, and it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Amalalu, Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Di asili, Isala: ili dunuma, Na dima sia: i amo huluane olelema.
Then he told me, “Son of man, now you are to go to the people of Israel and give my message to them.
5 Na da ga fi amo da sia: hisu sia: be, ilima di hame asunasisa. Be dia fidafa Isala: ili fi ilima asunasisa.
I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know—but to the people of Israel.
6 Na da di gasa bagade ga fifi asi gala ilia gasa bagade sia: dia hame nababe, ilima asunasisa ganiaba ilia naba: loba.
As I say, I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know, whose words you don't understand. On the other hand, if I had sent you to foreigners, they would have listened to you.
7 Be Isala: ili fi dunu huluanedafa da dia sia: ilia hame nabimu. Ilia da Na sia: amolawane hame nabimu. Ilia huluane da gasa fili higasa.
But the people of Israel won't want to listen to you, because they don't want to listen to me. All the Israelites are strong-minded and hard-hearted.
8 Be wali Na da dia hou afadenene, di da bu ilia hou defele gasa fi amola gasa bagade hamomu.
Look! I'm going to make you as tough as them, and as strong-minded as them.
9 Na da dia hou ga: nasi igi agoane amola igi debesu gasa bagade agoane hamomu. Amo odoga: su dunuba: le mae beda: ma.”
I will make your mind like adamant, harder than flint. Don't be afraid of what they say or discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious people.”
10 Gode da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Noga: le nabima! Amo Na dima sia: be liligi mae gogolema!
“Son of man,” he added, “pay close attention to everything I tell you, and think deeply about it yourself.
11 Amalalu, dia fi dunu mugululi asi ilima olelela masa. Amane sia: ma, ‘Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, da dilima amane sia: sa’. Ilia da dia sia: nabimu o hame nabimu, amo mae dawa: ma.”
Go to your people who are in exile. Tell them this is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not.”
12 Amalalu, Gode Ea A: silibu da na oule heda: i. Amola na baligia guma: di sia: gasa bagade nabi, amane, “Hebene ganodini esalebe Hina Gode Ea Hadigi nodone gaguia gadoma!”
The Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a really loud noise behind me that sounded like an earthquake. (Praise to the Lord's glory where he lives!)
13 Na da esalebe liligi, ilia fo ganodini ougiaga dababe amo ea ga: nabi. Amola emo sisiga: i ahoabe ilia ga: da gasa bagade bebeda: nima agoai nabi.
It was the sound made by the wings of the beings as they brushed against each other and the noise made by the wheels next to them, a really loud noise that sounded like an earthquake.
14 Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da gasa bagadewane, na gaguia gadole oule asi. Na amola da ougi amola higale dawa: i galu.
As I said, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. As I went I was feeling upset and angry; however the Lord's power had taken full control of me.
15 Amalalu, na da Dela: ibibe moilai (Giba Hano bega: dialu moilai amo ganodini mugululi misi dunu da esalu) amoga doaga: le, eso fesuale esalu. Bai na ba: i liligi amola nabi liligi dawa: beba: le, gasa hame galu.
I arrived at the place where the exiles lived, Tel-abib by the River Kebar. I just sat with them, staying with them there for seven days. I was completely overcome with emotion.
16 Amo eso fesuale baligili, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
After the seven days had passed, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
17 “Dunu egefe! Na da di Isala: ili fi sosodo ouligima: ne ilegesa. Sisasu sia: Na dima sia: be, ilima alofele ianoma.
“Son of man, I have chosen you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Whenever I give you a message, then you must warn them for me.
18 Na da wadela: i hamosu dunu ema bogosu imunusa: fofada: sea, di da ema ea hou afadenene bu esalusu lama: ne, sisamu da defea. Be di da ema hame sisane iasea, Na da di amo dunu ea medole legesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
19 Be di da wadela: i hamosu dunuma sisane iasea, be e da wadela: i hou hame fisisia, e da wadela: i hamosu dunu defele bogosu ba: mu. Be di da sisane iabeba: le, bogosu hame ba: mu.”
But if you warn them, and they don't stop their wicked ways, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself—you won't die.
20 Dunu noga: i da ea noga: i hou fisili, bu wadela: i hou hamosea, amola Na da ea hou dawa: ma: ne adoba: sea, di da ema hame sisane iasea, e da bogomu. E da ea wadela: i hou amogaba: le bogomu. Na da ea musa: moloi hou hamoi amoma hame dawa: mu. Be di da ema hame sisane iabeba: le, Na da di amo dunu ea medole legesu dunu agoai ba: mu.
Again, if someone who lives right stops doing so and sins and disregards my attempts to correct them, then they will die. If you didn't warn them, they will die in their sins, and the good things they did won't be remembered. In addition, I will hold you responsible for their death.
21 Be di da dunu noga: i amoma wadela: i hou mae hamoma: ne sisane iasea, amola e da dia sia: nabasea amola wadela: i hou hame hamosea, ali galu da bogosu hame ba: mu.”
However, if you warn those who are living right not to sin, and they don't sin, they will live for sure, because they paid attention to your warning, and you will have saved yourself—you won't die.”
22 Hina Gode da na dogo ganodini gasa bagade hamosu. E nama amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, gadili asili, fagoga gudu sa: ima. Na da dima amogudu sia: mu.”
The Lord's power took control of me there, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I will talk to you there.”
23 Amaiba: le, na da asili fagoga gudu sa: ili, Hina Gode Ea hadigi ba: i. Na da Ea hadigi Giba Hano bega: ba: i, amo defele bu ba: i. Na da odagi guduli, osoba diasa: i.
So I got up and went to the valley, and there I saw the Lord's glory. It was like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
24 Be Gode Ea A: silibu da nama aligila dabeba: le, na wa: legadolesi. Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Di diasua asili, logo ga: sili, esaloma.
Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door.
25 Dunu egefe! Eno dunu da di gadili ahoasa: besa: le, efega la: la: gilisimu.
You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that won't be able to go out among the people.
26 Di da amo odoga: su dunuma sisane sia: sa: besa: le, Na da di mae sia: baouma: ne, dia gona: su gadolesimu.
I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to speak and complain to them, even though they are a rebellious people.
27 Amasea, na da dima sia: sea, di da bu sia: gelema: ne gasa iasea, di da Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, amo Na sia: i liligi ilima olelemu. Dunu oda ilia da nabimu amola dunu oda ilia da dima ba: sola: mu. Bai ilia da lelele odoga: su dunu fi.”
However, when I talk with you, I will open your mouth so you can tell them that this is what the Lord God says. Those who want to listen will listen, and those who want to refuse will refuse, for they are a rebellious people.”
