< Ezekiel 20 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], on the tenth of the month, men from [the] elderly of Israel have come in to seek YHWH, and they sit 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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
3 “Son of man, speak to the elderly of Israel, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you coming in to seek Me? [As] I live—I am not sought by you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
“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 Do you judge them? Do you 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 you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] your God YHWH.
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 to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, To a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the 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 say to them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And do not be defiled with the idols of Egypt, I [am] your God YHWH.
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 And they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to listen to Me, Each has not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, And have not forsaken the idols of Egypt, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My 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 And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are in], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from 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 bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them into the wilderness,
“Ouinge nga usalosla liki acn Egypt nu yen mwesis.
11 And I give My statutes to them, And I caused them to know My judgments, Which the man who does—lives 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 have also given My Sabbaths to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] YHWH who is sanctifying 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 And the house of Israel rebels against Me in the wilderness, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have despised My judgments, Which the man who does—lives by them. And they have greatly defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on 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 And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.
Tuh nga tia oru, mweyen ac tuh akpusiselye Inek inmasrlon mutunfacl uh su liye ke nga kololos mwet Israel liki acn Egypt.
15 And also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them into the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, It [is] a beauty to all the 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 kicked against My judgments, And they have not walked in My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, For their heart is going 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 And My eye has pity on them—against destroying them, And I have not made an end of them in the wilderness.
“Tusruktu, nga tuh pakomutalos, ac sulela ngan tia onelosla ke elos muta yen mwesis.
18 And I say to their sons in the wilderness: Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, And do not observe their judgments, And do not 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] your God YHWH, walk in My statutes, And observe My judgments, and do them,
Nga LEUM GOD lowos. Kowos in akos ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.
20 And sanctify My Sabbaths, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I [am] your God YHWH.
Akmutalye len Sabbath, tuh in sie akul ke wuleang inmasrlok ac kowos, tuh kowos fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD lowos.
21 And the sons rebel against Me, They have not walked in My statutes, And they have not observed My judgments—to do them, Which the man who does—lives by them. They have defiled My Sabbaths, And I speak—to pour out My fury on them, To complete My 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 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My Name’s sake, Not to defile [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I 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 also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
Na nga sifilpa orala sie wulela yen mwesis uh. Nga wuleang mu nga ac akfahsryeloselik nu fin faclu nufon.
24 Because they have not done My judgments, And they have despised My statutes, And they have defiled My Sabbaths, And their eyes have been after [the] idols of their fathers.
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, I have given statutes to them [that are] not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
“Ouinge nga sang nu selos ma sap su tia wo, ac oakwuk su ac tia sang moul nu selos.
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing every opener of a womb to pass away, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] YHWH.
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, speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Still in this your fathers have reviled Me, In their committing a trespass 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 And I bring them into the land, That I lifted up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice their sacrifices there, And give the provocation of their offering there, And make their refreshing fragrance there, And they pour out their drink-offerings there.
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 say to them: What [is] the high place to where you are going in?” And its name is called “High Place” to 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 to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you defiling yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you go whoring after their detestable things?
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 in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, You are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I am not sought 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 is going up on your mind, It is not at all—in that you are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve 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—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Do I not, with a strong hand, And with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury—rule 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 have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, With a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, And with poured out fury.
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 have brought you into the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there 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 As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,
“Nga fah oru kolyuk ku luk fowos, ac oru kowos in akos wuleang luk.
38 And cleared out the rebels from you, And those transgressing against Me, I bring them out from the land of their sojournings, And they do not come to the land of Israel, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
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 And you, O house of Israel, thus said Lord YHWH: Each go, serve his idols, And afterward, if you are not listening to Me [anyway], But you do not defile My holy Name anymore by your gifts, and by 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 on My holy mountain, On the mountain of the height of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH, All the house of Israel serves Me there, All of it, in the land—I accept them there, And I seek your raised-offerings there, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, 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 With refreshing fragrance I accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which you have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes 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 you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, To the land that I lifted up My hand To give it 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 you have remembered your ways there, And all your doings, In which you have been defiled, And you have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that you have done.
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 you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My dealing with you for My Name’s sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
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 there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
46 “Son of man, set your face the way of Teman, and prophesy to the south, and prophesy to the forest of the field—the south;
“Mwet sukawil, ngetot suwohs nu eir. Kaskas lain acn eir, ac palu lain insak eir.
47 and you have said to the forest of the south, Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am kindling a fire in you, And it has devoured every moist tree in you, and every dry tree, The glowing flames are not quenched, And all faces from south to north have been burned by it.
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 has seen, that I, YHWH, have kindled it—it is not quenched.”
Elos nukewa ac liye lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa tanak e sac, ac wangin sie ku in konela.”
49 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, They are saying of me, Is he not using allegories?”
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.”
