< Ezekiel 12 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 “Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, kom muta inmasrlon mwet lungsena alein. Oasr mutalos, a elos tia liye mau. Oasr insraclos, a elos tia lohng mau, mweyen elos lungse alein.
3 So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.
“Inge, mwet sukawil, apweni kutu ma lom ingan in oana luman sie mwet kaing, ac mukuiyak meet liki fongeni. Lela mwet uh in liye lah kom ac som nu ke sie pac acn. Sahp mwet lungse alein ingan ac akilen kom.
4 Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.
Apweni ma kom ac us nu in sruoh ke srakna len. Lela mwet nukewa in liye ke kom ac fahla ke ekela uh, elos in pangon mu kom ac som nu in sruoh.
5 While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.
Ke pacl elos ac liye kom an, pukanla sie pat ah ke sinka in lohm sum, ac eis ap lom an ac tufoki kac.
6 When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”
Lela elos in liye ke kom ac srukak ap lom nu finpisom ac illa nu in lohsr uh. Afinya motom kom in tia ku in liye acn kom fahsr we. Ma kom oru inge ac fah sie mwe akul in sensenkin mwet Israel.”
7 So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.
Na nga oru oana LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik. In len sac nga apweni ap se in oana mwet ac kaingla se, ac ke eku sac ke mutawauk in lohsrla, nga pukanla sinka ah ke pouk, ac illa. Na nga srukak ap sac nu finpisuk ac som ke mwet nukewa liye.
8 In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ke lotutan tok ah LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
9 “Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
“Mwet sukawil, inge mwet alein lun Israel fin siyuk lah mea kom oru an
10 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’
kom fahkang ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos. Kas inge ma nu sin fisrak se su leumi acn Jerusalem, oayapa mwet nukewa su muta we.
11 You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.
Fahk nu selos lah ma kom oru inge ac sie mwe akul nu ke ma ac sikyak nu selos. Elos ac fah mwet kaing ac mwet sruoh.
12 When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.
Fisrak se su leum faclos ac fah lippisauk ap lal in lohsr uh, ac kaingla ke pat se ma elos pukanla nu sel ke sinka ah. El ac fah afinya mutal ac tia liye acn el fahsr nu we.
13 But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.
Tusruk nga fah sisalik nwek nutik uh in sruokilya. Na nga fah usalla nu in siti Babylon, yen el ac misa we ac tia liye acn uh.
14 I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.
Nga fah akfahsryelik mwet nukewa inkul sel nu yen nukewa — mwet pwapu fulat lal ac mwet mweun karinginyal. Ac mwet uh fah sokolos in onelosi.
15 They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.
“Ke nga ac akfahsreloselik nu in mutunfacl saya uh, elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
16 But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Nga ac fah lela kutu selos in moulla liki mweun, sracl, ac mas. Ouinge ke elos muta inmasrlon mwet in facl saya an elos fah akilen lupan moul koluk lalos, ac etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
17 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
18 “Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.
ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, kom in rarrar ke pacl kom mongo, ac sangeng rarrar ke pacl kom ac nim.
19 Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.
Fahk nu sin mwet in facl sacn nufon lah pa inge kas sin LEUM GOD Fulatlana nu sin mwet su muta Jerusalem — elos su srakna muta in facl selos: Elos ac fah rarrar ke pacl elos mongo, ac sangeng ac rarrar ke elos ac nim. Facl selos ac sikiyukla mweyen mwet nukewa su muta we elos moul sulallal ac kunaus ma sap.
20 The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
Siti nukewa ma nwanala ke mwet in pacl inge ac fah kunausyukla, ac facl sac nufon ac fah acn mwesisla. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
21 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik,
22 “Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?
ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, efu ku mwet Israel elos kalwenina soakas se inge: ‘Pacl uh somla, a kas in palu uh tiana sikyak.’
23 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.
Inge, fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk ke ma ingan. Nga ac sisla soakas se ingan, na ac fah tia sifil srumunyuk in Israel. Fahkang nu selos lah pa inge pacl kas in palu uh ac akpwayeiyuk!
24 There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,
“Ac fah tia sifil oasr aruruma kikiap ku kas in palu tia pwaye inmasrlon mwet Israel.
25 because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”
Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sifacna kaskas nu selos, ac ma nga ac fahk uh ac tia pahtlac in sikyak. Kowos mwet likkeke, nga ac oru ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru ke pacl kowos srakna moul. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge!”
26 An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
27 “Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’
“Mwet sukawil, mwet Israel elos nunku mu aruruma lom ac kas in palu lom tia ma ac sa sikyak, a ma na nwe tok.
28 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
Ke ma inge fahkang nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk mu: Ac fah tia sifilpa pahtlac. Ma nga fahkla uh ac orekla. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge!”
