Ezekiel 14

1 Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down before me.

Kutu sin mwet kol lun Israel elos tuku nu yuruk in siyuk ke ma lungse lun LEUM GOD.

2 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

3 “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?

ac fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, mwet inge elos sang insialos nu ke ma sruloala, ac elos lela tuh ma sruloala uh in kololos nu ke ma koluk. Ya elos nunku mu nga ac topkolos?

4 Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,

“Inge, kaskas nu selos ac fahk ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos: Kutena mwet Israel su sang insial nu ke ma sruloala ac lela in kolol nu ke ma koluk, na tok el suk kasru sin sie mwet palu, el ac fah eis top sik — sie top ma fal nu ke pusien ma sruloala lal!

5 so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’

Ma sruloala inge nukewa oru insien mwet Israel uh forla likiyu. Tuh ke sripen topuk luk, sahp elos ac sifilpa forma ac akfulatyeyu.

6 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations.

“Na inge, fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos: Kowos forma, ac fahsr liki ma sruloala srungayuk lowos.

7 For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.

“Kutena pacl sie mwet Israel, ku sie mwetsac su muta Israel, ac forla likiyu ac alu nu ke ma sruloala, na tok el som siyuk kas in kasru yurin sie mwet palu, nga LEUM GOD pa ac sang top nu sel uh!

8 I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Nga ac fah lainul. Nga fah sisella liki un mwet luk ac oru tuh elan sie mwe srikasrak in sensenkakin mwet ngia. Ouinge kowos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

9 But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.

“Sie mwet palu fin kiapweyukla ac orala sie top sutuu, nga LEUM GOD pa oru elan fahk ma tia pwaye uh. Nga ac sisella liki un mwet Israel.

10 They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—

Mwet palu sac ac mwet se ma suk kasru sel ah, ac fah kaiyuk eltal oana sie.

11 in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”

Nga fah oru ma inge tuh mwet Israel elos in tia sisyula, ac tia akfohkfokyalos sifacna ke orekma koluk lalos. Elos fah mwet luk sifacna, ac nga ac fah God lalos.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.

12 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

13 “Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,

ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, fin oasr sie mutunfacl oru ma koluk ac tia pwaye nu sik, nga ac asroela pouk ac supwala sie pacl in sracl in uniya mwet ac kosro, oana sie.

14 then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.

Finne Noah, Danel, ac Job wi muta we, a moul suwoswos lalos lukun molela na moul lalos sifacna.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge uh.

15 Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,

“Ku sahp nga ac supwala kutu kosro lemnak in uniya mwet we ac oru facl sac in arulana sensen, na wangin mwet ku in fahsr sasla we.

16 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.

Oana ke nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa God moul, finne mwet tolu inge muta we, elos tia ku in molela moul lun tulik natulos, a moul na lalos sifacna. Na facl sacn ac fah sie acn mwesisla.

17 Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,

“Ku sahp nga ac oru tuh in oasr mweun in facl sac, ac supwala kufwen mwe mweun in sukela mwet ac oayapa kosro.

18 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.

Ac mwet tolu inge finne muta we — oana ke nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa God moul — elos ac tia ku in molela moul lun tulik natulos, a moul na lalos sifacna.

19 Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,

“Nga fin supwala sie mas upa nu in facl sac, ac uniya mwet puspis ac kosro puspis ke sripen kasrkusrak luk,

20 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.

finne Noah, Danel, ac Job muta we — oana ke nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa God moul — elos ac tia ku in molela moul lun tulik natulos. Moul suwoswos lalos ac molela na moul lalos sifacna.”

21 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?

Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac supwala mwe akkeok akosr ma upa emeet luk nu fin acn Jerusalem — mweun, sracl, kosro lemnak, ac mas — in uniya mwet ac oayapa kosro.

22 Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.

Fin oasr mwet painmoulla su molela pac tulik natulos, kom in ngetang liyalos ke elos ac tuku nu yurum. Liye lupan koluk lalos, ac akilen lah pwaye fal mwe akkeok ma nga sang nu fin Jerusalem.

23 They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

Na kom fah etu lah oasr sripa wo ke ma nukewa nga orala uh.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ma inge.
