< Ezekiel 23 >

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, sie pacl ah oasr tamtael luo.
3 And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity.
Ke pacl se elos fusr ac muta in acn Egypt elos sa in sun mukul, ac ekla nu ke mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos.
4 And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Inen ma se ma matu ah pa Oholah, (el aolla acn Samaria), ac inen ma se ma srik pa Oholibah (el aol acn Jerusalem). Nga payukyak seltal kewa ac oasr tulik nutik seltal kewa.
5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
Oholah el nwe payuk nu sik, a el srakna orek kosro, ac srakna ke suk mukul ma el pwar se sin mwet Assyria.
6 clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
Elos mwet mweun su nukum nuknuk sroninmutuk, mwet leum, ac yohk wal lalos ke mweun uh. Elos nukewa mwet oasku su kasrusr fin horse.
7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
Mutan sac sie mutan kosro nu sin mwet leum lun un mwet mweun Assyria, ac lung koluk lal oru elan akfohkfokyal sifacna ke alu nu ke ma sruloala.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her.
El tafwelana moul in kosro lal su el tuh mutawauk oru in acn Egypt, acn se el tuh mutawauk in eteya mwet we. Ke na pacl ma el srakna mutan fusr, mukul uh mutawauk in oan yorol ac oral oana sie mutan kosro.
9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.
Ouinge nga tuh eisalang nu sin mukul ma el lung koluk nu se in acn Assyria, su el arulana pwar selos.
10 These discovered her nakedness, they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a name among women; and they executed judgment upon her.
Elos sarukulla el koflufol. Elos sruokya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan natul, na elos unilya ke cutlass. Mutan in acn nukewa elos lesrikel ke ma sikyak nu sel inge.
11 And her sister Oholibah saw [this], and was more corrupt in her passion than she, and in her fornications more than the whoredoms of her sister.
Tamtael wial ah, Oholibah, el ne liye ma inge, el koluk yohk lukel Oholah ke moul in kosro lal uh.
12 She lusted after the children of Asshur [her] neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men.
El wi pac arulana pwar in orek ma koluk nu sin mwet leum lun Assyria ac mwet mweun fulat su nukum nuknuk in mweun, oayapa mwet mweun su kasrusr fin horse — mukul inge kewa mukul fusr ac oasku lumahlos.
13 And I saw that she was defiled: both took one way.
Nga liye lah moul lal Oholibah arulana fohkfok. Tamtael se ma fusr inge koluk oana el su matu.
14 And she increased her fornications; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
Na el oru moul in kosro lal inge arulana alukela. El liye petsa ke mukul ma sroalla ke sinka in lohm uh ke tuhn srusra,
15 girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them captains in appearance, [after] the likeness of the children of Babylon, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
wi pel su losya infulwalos ac mwe lohl na kato ma oan fin sifalos. Petsa inge nukewa petsaiyen leum lun mwet mweun Babylonia, su acn selos uh pa Chaldea.
16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
Ke el liye petsa inge, lung koluk lal tuyang nu sel kaclos, ac el supwala mwet tutafpo in us kas lal nu yorolos in acn Babylonia.
17 And the children of Babylon came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their fornication; she too defiled herself with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Ac mukul Babylonia inge tuku oan yorol, ac elos akkolukyalla nwe ke na el srungalosla.
18 And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness; and my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
El ikasulak ye mutun mwet uh, ac akkalemye lah el sie mutan kosro. Na nga arulana kasrkusrak sel, oana ke nga tuh kasrkusrak sin tamtael se wial ah.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she played the harlot in the land of Egypt;
Elahn kosro lal ah yokelik liki na meet ah, ke el sifil oru lumah fohkfok ma el tuh oru ke el mutan fusr ac kukakin manol in acn Egypt.
20 and she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is [as] the flesh of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horses.
Arulana yokla lung koluk lal nu sin mukul ma lungse orekma koluk uh ac moul lalos oana donkey mukul ku horse mukul uh.” (
21 And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breasts of thy youth.
Oholibah, ya kom lungse sifil kalweni moul koluk su kom tuh moulkin in facl Egypt, yen ma mukul uh tuh sritalkin titi lom an, ac kom eteya mwet uh we?)
22 Therefore, Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side.
“Ke ma inge, Oholibah, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu sum uh: Kom tasak sin mukul ma pwar sum ingan, tuh nga ac fah oru elos in kasrkusrak sum, ac tuku raunikomla.
23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
Nga fah usani mukul nukewa in acn Babylonia ac Chaldea — mwet Pekod, mwet Shoa, ac mwet Koa, ac mwet Assyria nukewa. Nga ac fah usani nufon mwet leum ac mwet fulat ke mweun su fusr ac oasku, aok mwet na yohk sripalos, ac mwet mweun fulat su kasrusr fin horse uh.
24 And they shall come against thee [with] armour, chariots and wheels, and with an assemblage of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee [with] target, and shield, and helmet round about; and I will put judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
Elos ac fah mweuni kom liki acn epang, ac use sie u lulap ke mwet mweun, wi chariot ac wagon in wun kufwa lalos. Elos ac loangeyuk ke mwe loang ac susu osra, na elos ac fah raunikomla. Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu selos, ac elos ac fah nununkekom ke ma sap lalos sifacna.
25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
Ke sripen nga kasrkusrak sum, nga ac fah lela elos in oru na ma elos lungse oru nu sum ke na kasrkusrak lalos. Elos ac fah pakela infwem ac insrem, ac uniya tulik nutum uh. Aok, elos ac fah eisla wen ac acn nutum liki kom, na elos fah moul na isisyak.
26 They shall also strip the of thy garments, and take away thy fair jewels.
Elos ac fah sacla nuknuk lom an, ac eisla mwe yun saok nukewa lom.
27 And I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Nga fah tulokinya lung koluk lom ac lumah fohkfok nukewa ma kom tuh oru e ke pacl kom muta Egypt ah me. Kom fah tia sifil ngetang nu ke kutena ma sruloala, ku sifil nunku ke acn Egypt.”
28 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give thee over into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu sin mwet su kom kwase ac kasrkusrak se.
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; so that the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications.
Na mweyen elos kasrkusrak sum uh, elos ac fah eisla ma nukewa ma kom orekma kac uh, ac oru tuh kom in koflufolla, ac monum ikakelik oana sie mutan kosro. Lung koluk ac elahn kosro lom
30 These things shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.
pa pwen ma inge nu sum uh. Kom tuh sie mutan kosro nu sin mutunfacl uh, ac sifacna akfohkfokye kom ke ma sruloala lalos.
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; and I have given her cup into thy hand.
Kom fahsrna in falken tamtael se wiom, na pa nga ac sot pac nu sum sie cup in kalya kom in nim.”
32 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large; thou shalt be for a laughing-stock and a derision, [for] it containeth much.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Kom fah nimnim ke cup lun tamtael wiom; Cup se inge yohk ac loal. Mwet nukewa ac fah aksruksrukye kom ac angon kom; Cup se inge sessesla.
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Samaria;
Ac fah oru kom in keok ac sruhila. Cup se inge mwe aksangeng ac mwe kunausla, Cup se inge ma lun Samaria, tamtael wiom.
34 thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.
Kom fah nim nwe ke na lisr, Na ke ipin ma fokelik kac uh Kom fah seya iniwom. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy fornications.
Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Mweyen kom mulkinyula ac forla likiyu, kom ac fah keok ke sripen lung koluk lom ac ke elahn kosro lom.”
36 And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, ya kom akola in nununkal Oholah ac Oholibah? Akkolukyaltal ac fahk ke orekma koluk ma eltal tuh oru ah.
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also passed over unto them their children, whom they bore unto me, to be devoured.
Eltal tuh orek akmas ac kosro — kosro nu ke ma sruloala, ac akmas ke wen natultal ma eltal uniya, su ac ma nutik. Eltal kisakin wen nutik inge nu ke ma sruloala.
38 Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths.
Tia pa ingan mukena ma koluk eltal oru uh. Eltal akfohkfokye Tempul luk, ac aklusrongtenye len Sabbath su nga oakiya.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children unto their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
Len se na ma eltal uniya tulik nutik inge in kisakin nu ke ma sruloala ah, eltal tuku ac akfohkfokye Tempul luk!
40 And furthermore, they sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;
“Eltal nuna sap na sap in suli mukul in tuku nu yoroltal yen loesla me, ac mwet inge tuku. Tamtael luo inge ac yihla, ac sang mwe yun ac wek saok nu ke manoltal.
41 and satest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hadst set mine incense and mine oil.
Eltal ac muta fin mwe muta fisrasrsrasr, ac filiya sie tepu ma nwanala ke ma kato ac wo oan ye mutaltal, su ma inge pa ma keng ac oil in olive su nga sang nu seltal.
42 And the voice of a multitude living carelessly was with her; and with people of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon their hands, and a beautiful crown upon their heads.
Pusren mwet mutwata yoroltal inge ku in lohngyuk, ac mwet pus ac tuku oe yen mwesis me nu yoroltal. Elos sang mwe lohlpo nu ke paoltal, ac mwe yun in tefuro nu ke sifaltal.
43 And I said of her that was old in adulteries, Will she now commit her fornications, even she.
Ac nga fahk nu sik sifacna mu elos oru nu sin mutan se ma totola ke moul in kosro lal uh, oana elan sie mutan su kukakin manol.
44 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a whorish woman: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah the lewd women.
Elos nuna kalwenina in fahsr nu yurin mutan kosro inge. Elos folok na nu yorol Oholah ac Oholibah, mutan na fohkfok moul la luo inge.
45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Mwet ma suwohs moul la uh ac nununkalos ke kosro ac akmas, mweyen eltal orek kosro, ac paoltal tuhnla ke srah.”
46 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up an assemblage against them, and will give them to be driven hither and thither and spoiled.
Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Use sie un mwet an in aksangengyaltal ac pisrala ma laltal uh.
47 And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
Lela un mwet se inge in tanglaltal ac lainultal ke cutlass, uniya tulik natultal, ac esukak lohm seltal uh.
48 And I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, and all women shall receive instruction and shall not do according to your lewdness.
Nga ac fah tulokinya ma koluk in tia sifil orek in acn inge nufon, in oana sie mwe akkalemye nu sin mutan tuh elos in tia orek kosro oana ke mutan luo inge oru ah.
49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
Na komtal, tamtael luo ingan, nga fah kalyei komtal ke ma koluk lomtal ac ke sripen komtal alu nu ke ma sruloala. Na komtal ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Fulatlana.”
