Ezekiel 17
1 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 "Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin mwet Israel sie pupulyuk,
3 and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top 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 cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set 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 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.
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 It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
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 '"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and look, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
“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 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly 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 says YHWH: "Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? And not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from 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 Yes, look, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew."'"
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 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
12 "Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Tell them, 'Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him 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 took of the royal family, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away 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 might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
in oru tuh mutunfacl sac in tia sifil tuyak ac lainul, oayapa tuh wuleang sac in tia musalla.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
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,' says YHWH, 'surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
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 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.
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 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and look, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall 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 says YHWH: 'As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own 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 I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his 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 All the choice men among all his troups will fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, YHWH, have spoken it.'
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 says YHWH: 'I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant 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 the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.
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 All the trees of the field shall know that I, YHWH, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made 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.”
