Ezekiel 17

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

2 “Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use an allegory to the house of Israel,

“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin mwet Israel sie pupulyuk,

3 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that has diverse colors, Has come to Lebanon, And he takes the foliage of the cedar,

tuh elos in etu ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos: Oasr sie eagle na lulap su arulana kato unac kac, ac posohksok lal yohk ac sralap. El sohkla nu fineol in acn Lebanon ac kotala fien sak cedar soko.

4 He has cropped the top of its tender twigs, And he brings it to the land of Canaan. He has placed it in a city of merchants.

Na el usla nu ke sie facl in kuka, ac likiya lah sac in sie siti sin mwet kuka.

5 And he takes of the seed of the land, And puts it in a field of seed, He took [it] by many waters, He has set it in a conspicuous place.

Na el eis soko sacn fusr liki facl Israel ac usla yukwiya ke sie ima wo fohk we, yen yohk kof we ma ac akoyohuye sacn uh in kap wo.

6 And it springs up, and becomes a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becomes a vine, and makes boughs, And sends forth beautiful branches.

Sacn soko ah srunak, na ke lahelik el soko fain grape ma fototo ac sralap. Lah kac uh kapak ku nu lucng, sukya acn se eagle sac muta we, ac okah kac uh kapla loal nu infohk uh, ac sropoh uh afla ke lah ac sra.

7 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And behold, this vine has bent its roots toward him, And it has sent out its thin shoots toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting,

“Oasr pac sie eagle na lulap su posohksok la sralap ac unac kac matol. Na okah ac sra ke fain soko ah kapla ac oanla nu yen eagle sac muta we, finsrakkin mu in eis kutu pac kof sin eagle sac sayen kof ma oasr tari inima se el kapak we ah.

8 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, to make branches, and to bear fruit, to be for a good vine.

Tusruktu fain soko ah yoki tari in sie acn wo fohk we ac yohk kof we, su oru sra kac uh in kapak ac grape uh in fokla pus, na orala soko fain na wowo.

9 Say, Thus said Lord YHWH: It prospers—does he not draw out its roots, And cut off its fruit, and it is withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withers, And not by great strength, or by numerous people, To lift it up by its roots.

“Ouinge nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, siyuk: Ya fain soko inge ac kapak ac moul na? Ya eagle se meet ah ac tia fusak, olela grape kac uh, ac kotala lah kac, in masla? Tia enenu in oasr ku lulap, ku un mwet mweun pus in fusak.

10 And behold, the planted thing—does it prosper? When the east wind comes against it, does it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withers.”

Aok, pwaye lah fain soko ah yoki, tusruk ya ac ku in kapak? Ya ac tia masla ke eng kutulap me ac tuhme ac fungulya? Ya ac tia masla na acn kapak we uh?”

11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

12 “Now say to the house of rebellion, Have you not known what these [are]? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, And he takes its king, and its princes, And brings them to himself to Babylon.

“Siyuk sin mwet alein inge lah elos etu kalmen pupulyuk sac. Fahkang nu selos lah tokosra lun acn Babylonia el tuku nwe Jerusalem ac usla tokosra lun Judah wi mwet pwapa fulat lal welul folokla nu Babylonia.

13 And he takes of the seed of the kingdom, And makes a covenant with him, And brings him into an oath, And he has taken the mighty of the land,

Na el eis sie sin sou lun tokosra lun Judah ac oakiya sie wulela inmasrloltal, ac oru elan fulahk tuh el ac pwaye na nu sel. Na el kapriya pac kutu mwet fulat

14 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant—that it may stand.

in oru tuh mutunfacl sac in tia sifil tuyak ac lainul, oayapa tuh wuleang sac in tia musalla.

15 And he rebels against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and many people, Does he prosper? Does he who is doing these things escape? And has he broken covenant and escaped?

Tusruktu tokosra lun Judah el lain ma inge, ac supwala mwet lal nu Egypt in utuk horse ac un mwet mweun pus. Ya ac ku in wi ma el nunku an? Ya el ku in oru lumah inge ac tia nununkeyuk el? El tia ku in kunausla wulela sac ac wangin kaiyuk nu sel!”

16 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Does he not—in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he has despised, And whose covenant he has broken—die with him in the midst of Babylon?

LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “In oana ke nga pa God moul, tokosra se inge ac misa in acn Babylonia, mweyen el kunausla fulahk lal ke wulela se el orala inmasrlol ac tokosra lun Babylonia, su srisrngilya tuh elan tokosra.

17 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly, Does Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mound, and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls.

Finne mwet mweun fokoko lun tokosra Egypt, elos ac fah tia ku in kasru tokosra lun Judah ke pacl in mweun, ke mwet Babylonia ac elosak fohk ke pot, ac pukanak laf tuh elos in ku in uniya mwet puspis.

18 And he despised the oath—to break covenant, And behold, he has given his hand, And all these he has done—he does not escape.

El kunausla fulahk lal ac wulela se ma el orala. El oru ma inge nukewa, ac inge el ac tia ku in kaingla.”

19 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—My oath that he has despised, And My covenant that he has broken, Have I not put it on his head?

LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “In oana ke nga pa God moul, nga ac kalyael ke el kunausla wulela ma el fulahk kac Inek mu el ac karinganang.

20 And I have spread out My snare for him, And he has been caught in My net, And I have brought him to Babylon, And judged him there [for the] trespass That he has trespassed against Me.

Nga ac laknelik sie nwek in sruokilya. Na nga ac usalla nu Babylonia ac sang kai nu sel we, mweyen el tia pwaye nu sik.

21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, Fall by sword, and those remaining, They are spread out to every wind, And you have known that I, YHWH, have spoken.

Mwet mweun watwen lal ac anwuki nufon ke mweun, ac mwet lula uh ac fahsrelik nu yen nukewa. Na kowos ac fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

22 Thus said Lord YHWH: I have taken of the foliage of the high cedar, And I have set [it], I crop a tender one from the top of its tender shoots, And I have planted [it] on a high and lofty mountain.

Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac kotala fien soko sak cedar fulat, Ac kotala sie srun srisrik kac; Nga ac yukwiya fin soko eol fulat —

23 In a mountain—the high place of Israel, I plant it, And it has borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a good cedar, And every bird of every [kind of] wing has dwelt under it, They dwell in the shade of its thin shoots.

Fineol fulat emeet in acn Israel. Ac fah kapak, lahelik ac isus fahko, Na ac orala soko sak cedar yohk ac wo. Kain in won nukewa yen engyeng uh ac fah muta olo Ac mongla ye lulin sak uh.

24 And all trees of the field have known That I, YHWH, have made the high tree low, I have set the low tree on high, I have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to flourish, I, YHWH, have spoken, and have done [it]!”

Sak nukewa in facl sac ac fah etu Lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga pakiya sak fulat uh Ac oru sak fototo uh in kapak fulat. Nga oru sak folfol insroa in masla, Ac oru sak masla in sifil folfol insroa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge. Nga ac oru ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru.”
