< Ezekiel 14 >
1 And men among the elders of Israel came to me, and they 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 placed their uncleanness in their hearts, and they have stationed the scandal of their iniquities before their face. So why should I respond when they inquire of me?
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 Because of this, speak to them, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: The man, the man of the house of Israel, who places his uncleanness in his heart, and who stations the scandal of his iniquities before his face, and who approaches a prophet, so as to inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him in accord with the multitude of his uncleannesses,
“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5 so that the house of Israel may be seized within their own heart, by which they have withdrawn from me to all their idols.
Ma sruloala inge nukewa oru insien mwet Israel uh forla likiyu. Tuh ke sripen topuk luk, sahp elos ac sifilpa forma ac akfulatyeyu.
6 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Be converted, and withdraw from your idols, and 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 the man, the man of the house of Israel, and the new arrival among the converts who may be in Israel, if he is alienated from me, and he sets his idols in his heart, and he stations the scandal of his iniquity before his face, and he approaches the prophet, so that he may inquire of me through him: I, the Lord, will respond to him through 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 And I will set my face against that man, and I will make him an example and a proverb. And I will perish him from the midst of my people. And you shall 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 And when a prophet has gone astray and has spoken a word: I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. And I will extend my hand over him, and I will wipe him away from the midst of 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 And they shall bear their iniquity. In accord with the iniquity of the one who inquires, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
Mwet palu sac ac mwet se ma suk kasru sel ah, ac fah kaiyuk eltal oana sie.
11 So may the house of Israel no longer go astray from me, nor be polluted by all their transgressions. Instead, may they be my people, and may I be their God, says the Lord of hosts.”
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, when a land will have sinned against me, so that it transgresses grievously, I will extend my hand over it, and I will crush the staff of its bread. And I will send a famine upon it, and I will destroy 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 And if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver their own souls by their justice, says the Lord of hosts.
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 And if I also lead in very harmful beasts upon the land, so that I devastate it, and it becomes impassable, so that no one may cross through it because 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 if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters. But only they themselves will be delivered, for the land shall be desolated.
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 lead in the sword upon that land, and if I say to the sword, ‘Pass through the land,’ and so I destroy 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 and if these three men were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither sons, nor daughters, but only they themselves will 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 Then, if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and I pour out my indignation upon it with blood, so that I take away 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 and if Noah, and Daniel, and Job were in its midst, as I live, says the Lord God, they will deliver neither son, nor daughter, but they will deliver only their own souls by their justice.
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 thus says the Lord God: Even though I will send upon Jerusalem my four most grievous judgments, sword and famine and harmful beasts and pestilence, so that I destroy 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 still there shall be left within it some who will be saved, who shall lead away their own sons and daughters. Behold, they will enter to you, and you will see their way and their accomplishments. And you shall be consoled concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, concerning all the things that I have brought to bear 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 And they shall console you, when you see their ways and their accomplishments. And you shall know that I have not acted to no purpose in all that I have done within it, says the Lord God.”
Na kom fah etu lah oasr sripa wo ke ma nukewa nga orala uh.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ma inge.
