Ezekiel 20

1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and they sat before me.

In len se aksingoul ke malem aklimekosr in yac akitkosr ke sruoh lasr, kutu sin mwet kol lun Israel elos tuku nu yuruk in siyuk ke ma lungse lun LEUM GOD, ac elos muta ye mutuk.

2 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,

3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, kaskas nu sin mwet inge ac fahkang lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk ouinge: Ya pwaye lah kowos tuku in siyuk ke ma lungse luk? Ke sripen nga pa God moul, nga ac tia lela kowos in siyuk kutena ma sik. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.

4 Wilt thou judge them, wilt thou judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,

“Mwet sukawil, ya kom akola in oru nununku lom nu selos? Kwal, oru. Akesmakinyalos ke orekma srungayuk papa matu tumalos ah tuh oru.

5 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I [am] Jehovah your God,

Fahkang nu selos ma nga fahk inge. Ke pacl se nga tuh sulela Israel ah, nga tuh orala sie wulela yorolos, ac nga sifacna fahkyuyak nu selos in facl Egypt. Nga tuh fahk mu: Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos.

6 in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;

Na nga wulela nu selos mu nga fah usalosme liki fahl Egypt ac kololosla nu in sie facl su nga sulela in ma lalos, sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, sie facl su wo liki facl nukewa.

7 and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] Jehovah your God.

Nga tuh fahk elos in sisla ma sruloala srungayuk ma elos lungse, ac in tia akfohkfokyalos ke elos alu nu sin god sutuu lun Egypt, mweyen nga pa LEUM GOD lalos.

8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Tuh pa elos pilesreyu ac tia lungse lohngyu. Elos tia sisla ma sruloala srungayuk lalos, ku fuhleak god lun mwet Egypt. Nga tuh akola in sang elos in pula nufon fulen kasrkusrak luk nu selos.

9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

Tuh nga tiana oru, mweyen ac tuh akkolukye Inek, ke sripen nga tuh fahkak nu sin mwet Israel ye mutun mwet elos muta inmasrlo lah nga ac fah usalosla liki acn Egypt.

10 And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

“Ouinge nga usalosla liki acn Egypt nu yen mwesis.

11 And I gave them my statutes, and made known unto them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.

Nga sang ma sap luk nu selos ac lotelos oakwuk luk, su ac sang moul nu selos nukewa su akos.

12 And I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] Jehovah that hallow them.

Nga orala tuh karinginyen len Sabbath luk in sie mwe akul ke wulela inmasrlosr, in akesmakinyalos lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa oru elos mutal.

13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Tusruktu elos pilesreyu pac yen mwesis. Elos kunausla ma sap luk ac srunga oakwuk luk, su ac sang moul nu selos nukewa su akos. Elos arulana aklusrongtenye len Sabbath, na nga akola in sang elos in pulakin kasrkusrak upa luk ingo yen mwesis, ac in kunauselosla.

14 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.

Tuh nga tia oru, mweyen ac tuh akpusiselye Inek inmasrlon mutunfacl uh su liye ke nga kololos mwet Israel liki acn Egypt.

15 And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;

Ouinge nga orala sie fulahk yen mwesis mu nga ac tia usalosla nu ke facl se su nga sang selos ah — sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, sie facl su wo liki facl nukewa.

16 because they rejected mine ordinances and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

Nga orala fulahk sac mweyen elos srunga oru ma nga sapkin, ac kunausla ma sap luk, ac aklusrongtenye len Sabbath — elos lungse alu nu ke ma sruloala lalos liki in alu nu sik.

17 But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

“Tusruktu, nga tuh pakomutalos, ac sulela ngan tia onelosla ke elos muta yen mwesis.

18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

Ouinge nga sensenkakin mwet fusr inmasrlolos ac fahk, ‘Nik kowos orekmakin ma sap ma orekla sin mwet matu lowos, ac nimet fahsr tukun ouiya koluk lalos, ku sifacna akfohkfokye kowos ke ma sruloala lalos.

19 I [am] Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;

Nga LEUM GOD lowos. Kowos in akos ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.

20 and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] Jehovah your God.

Akmutalye len Sabbath, tuh in sie akul ke wuleang inmasrlok ac kowos, tuh kowos fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD lowos.

21 And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness.

“Tusruktu fwil sac oayapa likkeke lainyu. Elos seakos ma sap luk ac tia oru oakwuk luk su ac sang moul nu selos nukewa su akos. Elos aklusrongtenye len Sabbath, pwanang nga tuh akola in oru elos in pula kuiyen kasrkusrak luk uh ke elos oasr yen mwesis, ac in onelosi nufon.

22 But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.

Tuh nga tiana orala, mweyen ac tuh akpusiselye Inek ye mutun mutunfacl su liye ke nga usalosme mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.

23 I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

Na nga sifilpa orala sie wulela yen mwesis uh. Nga wuleang mu nga ac akfahsryeloselik nu fin faclu nufon.

24 because they performed not mine ordinances, and rejected my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

Nga oru ouinge mweyen elos srunga oru ma nga sapkin, ac seakos ma sap luk, ac aklusrongtenye len Sabbath, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala ma mwet matu lalos tuh kulansupu.

25 And I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;

“Ouinge nga sang nu selos ma sap su tia wo, ac oakwuk su ac tia sang moul nu selos.

26 and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] Jehovah.

Nga fuhleang nu selos in sifacna akfohkfokye moul lalos ke mwe sang lalos, ac nga lela elos in kisakin wen se emeet natulos. Ma inge ma in kalyaelos ac in akkalemye nu selos lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me.

“Ke ma inge, mwet sukawil, fahk nu sin mwet Israel ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos: Pa inge sie pac lumah ma papa matu tumalos uh akkasrkusrakyeyu kac ke elos tia moul suwohs ye mutuk.

28 When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings.

Nga usalosme nu in facl se su nga wuleang mu nga ac sang lalos. Ke elos liye tohktok fulat ac sak folfol insroa, elos orek kisa in acn inge nukewa. Elos oru nga kasrkusrak ke mwe kisa firir, ac mwe sang lalos, ac mwe kisa keng, ac wain ma elos use tuh in mwe kisa lalos nu sik.

29 And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.

Nga siyuk selos lah ma ya acn fulat elos som nu we inge? Ouinge in pacl sac me, pangpang acn we ‘Acn Fulat.’

30 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations?

Inge fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ma nga fahk uh: Efu ku kowos sifil oru ma koluk ma mwet matu lowos uh tuh oru, ac ukwe na ma sruloala lalos?

31 And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

Nwe misenge kowos srakna oru mwe sang ma mwet matu lowos oru meet ah, ac sifacna akfohkfokye kowos ke kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala ac kisai tulik nutuwos in e. Na kowos mwet Israel tiana tui in siyuk ke ma lungse luk! Ke sripen nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana ac nga pa God moul, nga fah tia lela kowos in siyuk kutena ma sik.

32 And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone.

Kowos wotela tari mu kowos in oana mutunfacl saya su alu nu ke sak ac eot. Tusruktu ac fah tiana ouinge.

33 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I reign over you.

“Ke sripen nga pa LEUM GOD Fulatlana ac nga God moul, nga akkalemye nu suwos lah in kasrkusrak luk, nga asroela pouk ac leum fowos ke ku luk nufon.

34 And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;

Nga ac fahkak ku luk ac kasrkusrak luk nu suwos ke nga ac uskowoseni, ac folokinkowosme liki facl nukewa su kowos fahsrelik we.

35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

Nga ac uskowosme nu ‘Yen Mwesis Lun Mutunfacl uh,’ ac ingo, ke kut ngetani nu sie, nga fah orala nununku luk keiwos.”

36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac nununkekowos in oana ke nga tuh nununku papa matu tomowos yen mwesis in acn Sinai.”

37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

“Nga fah oru kolyuk ku luk fowos, ac oru kowos in akos wuleang luk.

38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

Nga ac eisla mwet lokoalok ac mwet orekma koluk liki inmasrlowos. Nga ac eisalosla liki facl nukewa elos muta we inge. Tusruktu nga ac tia lela elos in foloko nu in facl Israel. Na kowos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”

39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols henceforth also, if none of you will hearken unto me; but profane my holy name no more with your gifts and with your idols.

LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Inge, kowos mwet Israel nukewa, fahsrot kulansupu ma sruloala lowos! Tuh nga fahkot lah tukun ma inge kowos enenu in akosyu, ac tia sifil akpusiselye Ine mutal luk ke kowos us mwe sang lowos nu ke ma sruloala lowos.

40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

Ingo, fineol fulat ac mutal sik in acn Israel, kowos mwet Israel nukewa ac fah alu nu sik we. Nga ac fah insewowo suwos, ac nga fah soano tuh kowos in use mwe kisa lowos, ac mwe sang wolana ac mutal lowos nu sik.

41 As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you in the sight of the nations.

Tukun nga folokinkowosme liki facl nukewa kowos fahsrelik we, ac eiskowoseni, nga ac insese in eis mwe kisa su kowos akosak, na mutunfacl uh ac fah liye lah nga mutal.

42 And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand to give to your fathers.

Ke nga folokinkowosme nu in facl Israel, facl se su nga tuh wuleang mu nga ac sang lun papa matu tomowos, na kowos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which ye have committed.

Kowos ac fah esamak ouiya koluk nukewa ma kowos oru ac akfohkfokye kowos sifacna kac. Kowos ac sifacna srungakowos ke sripen ma koluk nukewa kowos orala.

44 And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Ouiya ma nga ac oru nu suwos mwet Israel, ac tia fal nu ke orekma koluk lowos, a ac fah fal nu ke Ine mutal luk. Ke ma inge kowos ac fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.

45 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

“Mwet sukawil, ngetot suwohs nu eir. Kaskas lain acn eir, ac palu lain insak eir.

47 and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby.

Fahk nu ke insak lun acn eir in lohng ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: Liye, nga fah tanak sie e, su ac fah esukak sak nukewa sunom, finne ma moul ku ma masla. Wangin kutena ma ac ku in konela. Ac fah fahsrelik layen eir me nwe ke sun layen epang, ac mwet nukewa ac pula fulen fol kac.

48 And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

Elos nukewa ac liye lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa tanak e sac, ac wangin sie ku in konela.”

49 And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

Tusruktu, nga tia insese nu kac, na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nimet supweyu in fahkak kas ingan! Mwet nukewa tukakinyu mu elos tiana kalem ke kas in pupulyuk luk.”
