Ezekiel 14

1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat 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 unto me, saying:

Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

3 'Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their mind, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face; should I be inquired of at all by them?

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 unto them, and say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his mind, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet — I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

“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 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all turned away from Me through 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 Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces 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 every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from Me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, that he inquire for him of Me — I the LORD will answer him by 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 will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people; and ye 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 the prophet is enticed and speaketh a word, I the LORD have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him 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; the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that inquireth;

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

11 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from Me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be My people, and I may be their God, saith 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 unto me, saying:

LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

13 'Son of man, when a land sinneth against Me by trespassing grievously, and I stretch out My hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it 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 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith 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 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and it be desolate, so that no man may pass through 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 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall 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 upon that land, and say: Let the sword go through the land, so that I cut off from it 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 though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

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 pestilence into that land, and pour out My fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it 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 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

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 saith the Lord GOD: How much more when I send My four sore judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it 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 And, behold, though there be left a remnant therein that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters; behold, when they come forth unto you, and ye see their way and their doings, then ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning 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 and they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings, and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.'

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