< Ezekiel 20 >
1 Almost seven years [King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been captured and taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the fifth [of that year], some Israeli elders came to me to [if I had a message for them] from Yahweh.
Eso nabu amola oubi bi amola ode fesu ninia mugululi misi esoga ba: i. Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu mogili da Hina Gode Ea hamomu hanai bai nama adole ba: musa: misini, na midadi bulagi.
2 Then Yahweh gave me a message. [He said, ]
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,
3 “You human, speak to the Israeli elders and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [say that] you have come to ask if there is any message from me [RHQ], but [as surely] as I am alive, I will [answer you if] you ask [to tell you] anything.’
“Dunu egefe! Amo dunuma amane sia: ma, ‘Ouligisu Gode da amane sia: sa, Dilia da Na hamomu hanai adole ba: musa: misibala: ? Na da dafawane Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, amola Na da dili Nama adole ba: su logo hedofamu. Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.’
4 If you are [RHQ] willing to warn them, remind them of the detestable things that their ancestors did.
Dunu egefe! Di da ilima fofada: ma: bela: ? Defea! Ilima fofada: ma! Ilia eda ilia wadela: i hou hamoi, amo ilia dawa: ma: ne, ilima olelema.
5 Then say to them, ‘On the day that I chose [you] Israeli [to belong to me], with my hand lifted up, I made a solemn promise to your [while they were still] in Egypt. I said to them, “I am Yahweh, your God.
Ilima amane sia: ma, ‘Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, Na da Isala: ili fi ilegeloba, amo esoha Na da Ya: igobe egaga fi Idibidi soge ganodini esalu ilima misini, Na lobo gaguia gadole, amane dafawane sia: i, ‘Na da dilia Hina Godedafa.’
6 I will bring you out of Egypt and lead you to a land that I have chosen for you. It is a very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
Amo esoha Na da ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne asunasili, soge amo Na da ilima ima: ne hogole ba: i (soge ida: iwane fedege agoane bulamagau dodo maga: me amola agime hano bagadedafa galebeba: le, hano agoane a: iahoa) amoga oule masa: ne, dafawanedafa ilegele sia: i.
7 Each of you must get rid of the disgusting idols that you loved [IDM], and do not defile yourselves [worshiping] those [that you saw] in Egypt. I, Yahweh your God, [am saying this to you].”’
Amola Na da ilima amane sia: i, ‘Dilia afae afae wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi dilia ba: lala, amo galagama. Idibidi loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi da dilia hou ledo hamosa: besa: le, amo bu maedafa dawa: ma. Na da dilia Hina Gode esala.’
8 But they rebelled against me. They would not pay attention to me. They did not get rid of the disgusting idols they loved, and they did not reject those [that they saw] in Egypt. So because I was angry with them, I said that I would punish [MTY] them in Egypt.
Be ilia da Na sia: hame nabi amola Nama odoga: i. Ilia da ilia wadela: idafa loboga hamoi ‘gode’ hame galagai. Amola Idibidi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hame yolesi. Na da Idibidi sogega, Na ougi hou bagade ilima olelemusa: dawa: i galu.
9 But for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something in order that I would not be dishonored by the people of the nations who would see it when I brought my people out of Egypt.
Be Na da amane hame hamoi. Bai Na Dio wadela: sa: besa: le, hame hamoi. Na da Idibidi dunu ba: ma: ne, Na da Isala: ili dunuma ili Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, Na da ili ga oule masa: ne sisia: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, Na da ogogosu dunu ilia dawa: sa: besa: le, ilima ougi se bidi hame i.
10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert.
Amaiba: le, Na da Isala: ili dunu Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, ili hafoga: i sogega oule asi.
11 I gave them [all] my laws and decrees [DOU], in order that they would obey them, and as a result they would live [for a long time].
Na hamoma: ne sia: i amola sema da nowa dunu da nabawane hamosa, amoma esalusu iaha. Amo malei amola sema Na da Isala: ili dunuma olelei.
12 Also, I established the Sabbath/rest days to be a symbol between us to show that I, Yahweh, had caused them to be set [from the other nations].
Na da Sa: bade eso sema ilima i. Sa: bade eso da Na gousa: su hamoi, amoma dawa: digima: ne olelesu, amola Na da ilia hou bu hadigima: ne hamomu, amo dawa: digima: ne hamoi.
13 But the Israeli people rebelled against me in the desert. They did not obey my commands [DOU]; they rejected them, even though they tell people who obey them that they will live [for a long time], and they profaned the Sabbath days. So I said that I would get rid of them in the desert, and that would show that I was very angry with them.
Be ilia da hafoga: i sogea amowane, Nama higale lelesu. Na hamoma: ne sia: i amola Na sema (amo da nowa dunu da nabawane hamosa, ema esalusu iaha) huluane higale fi dagoi. Ilia da Sa: bade eso sema wadela: lesidafa. Na da hafoga: i sogega, ilima ougi bagade se bidi imunusa: , amola ili wadela: lesimusa: momagei galu.
14 But [again], for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something else in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen me bring my people out of Egypt.
Be Na da amane hame hamoi. Bai fifi asi gala amo da Na Isala: ili fi Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, gadili asunasi, amo ba: i, ilia da Na Dio amoma hame nodosa: besa: le, Na amane hame hamoi.
15 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would not take them into the land that [had promised to] give them, a land that was very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.
Amo dawa: beba: le, Na da hafoga: i soge ganodini, Na da dilia eda amo soge Na da ilima i dagoi (amo soge da gugui amola nasegagi, baligili noga: idafa) amoga hame oule masunusa: ilegei.
16 The reason that I promised that was because they rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and (desecrated/refused to rest on) the Sabbath days. [They did that] because they [SYN] were devoted [worshiping] their idols.
Bai ilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i hame nabi, amola Na sema fi, amola Sa: bade eso sema wadela: lesi, amola Na fisili, ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadomusa: hanai galu.
17 But, I still pitied them and did not get rid of [all of] them in the desert.
Be amalalu, Na da ilima bu asigisu. Na da ili hafoga: i sogega medole legemusa: dawa: i bu yolesi.
18 I said to their children, ‘Do not do the things that your parents continually did, or defile yourselves [worshiping] their idols.
Be amomane, Na da ayeligi amola a: fini ilia gilisisu ganodini sisane amane i, ‘Dilia aowalalia sema hamoi amola ilia hou amoma mae fa: no bobogema. Dilia ledo hamoi ba: sa: besa: le, ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima mae nodone sia: ne gadoma.
19 I am Yahweh your God. Carefully obey [DOU] my laws and commands.
Na da dilia Hina Godedafa. Na hamoma: ne sia: i amola Na sema nabawane hamoma.
20 Respect my Sabbath days, in order that by doing that [PRS], it will remind you that you belong to me, Yahweh your God.’
Sa: bade eso da hadigi eso, amola gousa: su Na dilima hamoi da dawa: digisu ilegesu gala. Amola Na da dilia Hina Godedafa. Amo huluane dilia bu dawa: ma: ne, Sa: bade eso sema noga: le ouligima.
21 But their children [also] rebelled against me. They did not carefully obey my laws [DOU], [even though] the people who obey them will live [for a long time]; and they profaned the Sabbath days. So again I said that by getting rid of them in the desert, I would show that I was very angry with them.
Be amo fifi misi amola da Na higasu. Ilia da Na sema fi amola Na hamoma: ne sia: i (amo da nowa dunu da nabawane hamosea, ema esalusu iaha) amo hame nabi. Ilia da Sa: bade eso sema wadela: lesi. Na da hafoga: i sogega ilima ougi se bidi imunusa: , amola ili huluane medole legemusa: dawa: i galu.
22 But I did not do that [IDM]. [Again, ] for the sake of my own reputation, I [decided to] do something in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen it when I brought my people out [of Egypt].
Be Na da amane hame hamoi. Bai fifi asi gala amo da Na Isala: ili fi Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne, gadili asunasi, amo ba: i, ilia da Na Dio amoma hame nodosa: besa: le, Na da amane hame hamoi.
23 I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would cause them to be scattered among [many] nations [DOU],
Amaiba: le, Na da hafoga: i sogega ilima eno ilegei. Na da ili osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane, amo ganodini afagololesima: ne, dafawane ilegele sia: i.
24 because they had rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and desecrated the Sabbath days, and they had eagerly [to worship] the idols that their [had worshiped].
Ilia da Na sema fiba: le, amola Na hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hame hamobeba: le, amola Sa: bade eso sema fiba: le, amola ogogosu ‘gode’ (amoma ilia aowalalia da fa: no bobogei) ilima nodone sia: ne gadobeba: le, Na da amane hamoi.
25 I also allowed them to obey laws that were not good, and laws that would not enable them to live [a long time if they obeyed them].
Amalalu, Na da noga: i hame sema ilima i, amola hamoma: ne sia: i amo da esalusu hame iaha, ilima i.
26 I allowed them to become unacceptable to me by their sacrificing their firstborn children in the fire. I did that in order that they would be horrified, and in order that they would know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Ilia da ilila: gobele salasu amoga ledo hamoma: ne, Na da logo doasi. Amola ilia da ilila: magobo mano medole legele, gobele salimusa: , Na da logo doasi. Amo da ilima se ima: ne, amola Na da Hina Godedafa ili dawa: musa: amo olelema: ne, Na da amane hamoi.
27 Therefore, you human, speak to the Israeli people. Say this to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you]: This is one way that your ancestors dishonored me by turning away from me.
Wali, dunu egefe! Isala: ili dunuma, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na sia: ilima adosima. Ilia aowalalia da eno agoane Nama gadesu.
28 After I brought them into the land that I had solemnly promised to give to them, every time that they saw a high hill or a [big] green tree, they offered [to idols] there. They made offerings to them, and that caused me to become angry. They presented to those idols their fragrant burning incense, and poured out wine offerings to them.
Na da soge amo Na da ilima imunusa: ilegei, amoga ili oule misi. Ilia da goumi sedade amola gahe ifa ba: beba: le, huluane amogai gobele salasu hamosu. Ilia da gobele salasu hamobeba: le, amola waini hano ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima imunusa: gaguli misiba: le, Na da ougi bagade ba: i.
29 [Then] I asked them, “Who [RHQ] [told you to worship at] a shrine like this, here on this hilltop?” So they are still called “hilltop shrines”.’
Na da ilima amane adole ba: i, ‘Amo gadodafa sogebi amoga dili ahoa, ilia bai da adila: ?’ Amaiba: le, ilia da amo sogebi fa: noga ‘Gadodafa Sogebi’ dio sia: sa.
30 Therefore, say this to the Israeli people [MTY]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You are going to [RHQ] defile yourselves like your ancestors did by strongly [to worship] their disgusting [statues of idols].
Wali, Isala: ili dunuma, Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode, Na sia: be ilima adosima. ‘Dilia abuliba: le, dilia aowalalia ilia wadela: i hou defele, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima hehenaia fa: no bobogesala: ?
31 When you sacrifice your children in the fire, you are still continuing to make yourselves unacceptable to me [worshiping] your many idols. You Israeli people, should I allow you to [what I want you to do]? I, Yahweh the Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, [I will not answer] if you inquire.'
Waha amolawane, dilia da ili defele gobele salasu hamosa. Dilia da dilia mano ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima laluga gobele salabeba: le, dilila: hou ledo hamosa. Abuliba: le dilia Isala: ili dunu da Na hamomu hanai adoleba: la mahabela: ? Na, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode! Amaiba: le, Na da amane dafawane sia: sa. Na da dilia Nama adole ba: su logo hedofamu.
32 You say, ‘We want to be like the [other] nations, like the [other] people-groups in the world. We want to [idols made of] wood and [like they do].’ But what you want will never happen.
Dilia da eno fifi asi gala huluane ilia hou defele hamomusa: hanai gala. Ilia da ifa amola igi amoma nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hamosa. Be Na fi ilia da agoane hamomu da hamedei.
33 [I], Yahweh your Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, I will use my great power [DOU, MTY] to rule over you, and show that I am angry with you.
Na da Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Amola na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode esalebeba: le, Na da dafawane dilima sisane iaha. Na da ougiba: le, Na gasa bagade defele, dilima gasa fili ouligimu.
34 With my great power I will gather you from the places to which you have been scattered,
Na da dili fifi asi gala enoenoi amoga afagogoi dagoi. Be Na da dilia sogega dili buhagima: ne gagadosea, Na da Na gasa bagade hou amola Na ougi hou dilima olelemu.
35 and I will bring you to a [that is surrounded] by [other] nations. There, while I am looking at you, I will judge you.
Na da dili fifi asi gala eno amoga oule asili, dilia odagia ba: ma: ne se imunusa: fofada: mu. (Amogai esalea, dilia da amo fifi asi gala ‘Hafoga: i Soge Fifi Asi Gagai’ defele ba: mu).
36 I will punish you, like I punished your ancestors in the desert near Egypt.
Na da Sainai hafoga: i sogega dilia aowalalia ilima fofada: nanu, se iasu. Amo defele, Na da dilima fofada: mu,” Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.
37 I will count you [MTY] as you walk by, and I will force you to obey the agreement that I made with you.
“Na da dili gasawane ouligimu amola dilia Na gousa: su nabawane hamoma: mu.
38 I will get rid of those people among you who rebel [DOU] against me. Although I will bring them out [Babylonia], where they are now living, they will not enter Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nowa da lelelewane wadela: i hou hamosea, Na da dilia mugululi misi gilisisu amoga fadegale fasimu. Ilia wali esalebe soge amoga Na da fadegamu. Be ilia da Isala: ili sogega hame buhagimu. Amasea, Na da Hina Gode, amo dilia da dawa: mu.”
39 As for you Israeli people [MTY], this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Go and worship your idols now [IRO], each of you. But [afterwards], you will [surely] heed me and no longer dishonor me [MTY] by taking gifts to your idols.
Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Defea! Dilia Isala: ili dunu huluane! Dilia hanaiga hamoma! Dilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima fa: no bobogema! Be Na da dilima sisane sia: sa. Dilia fa: no dilia hanai yolesili, Nama nabawane hawa: hamonanebe ba: mu. Amola dilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima iasu yolesimuba: le, dilia da Na Dio bu hame lasogolalumu.
40 [I], Yahweh your Lord, declare that there on my sacred hill, [Zion], that high hill in Israel, you will bring gifts to me, and I will accept them. I will require you to bring to me gifts and offerings there, and your sacrifices that are dedicated to me.
Isala: ili soge ganodini, Na hadigi gadodafa goumi amo da: iya, Isala: ili dunu dilia da Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu. Na da dilima hahawane ba: mu. Amasea, Na da dilia gobele salasu liligi amola hahawane hadigi iasu amo huluane Nama gaguli misa: ne sia: mu.
41 When I bring you out from the [other] nations [DOU] to which you have been scattered, I will accept [as though you were] fragrant incense. By doing that, I will show the people of other nations that I have set you apart to belong to me.
Na da dili fifi asi gala enoenoi amo ganodini esaloma: ne, amoga afagogoi dagoi. Be Na da dilia sogega dili buhagima: ne gagadosea, amo fa: no Na da liligi dilia gobele salimusa: gaguli maha, amo nodone lamu. Amasea, fifi asi gala huluane da Na da hadigidafa ba: mu.
42 Then, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I solemnly promised with my hand lifted up that I would give to your ancestors, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
Na da Isala: ili soge amo dilia aowalalima imunusa: ilegele sia: i. Na da dili amogawi bu oule masea, dilia da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu.
43 And [in Israel] you will remember how you conducted your lives [previously, you will remember] the actions that caused you to become unacceptable to me, and you will hate/despise yourselves for all the evil things that you have done.
Amasea, dilia da wadela: i hou hamoi amola dilia hou ledo hamoi, amo dilia da bu gogosiane dawa: mu. Dilia da dilia musa: wadela: i hou dawa: beba: le, dilila: hou higamu.
44 When I act toward you Israeli people to protect my reputation, and not [just] because of your evil deeds and corrupt behavior, you Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].' That is what Yahweh the Lord declares.”
Amola Na da Na hadigi hou gaga: musa: hamosea, dilia Isala: ili dunu da Na da Hina Gode dawa: mu. Bai Na da dilia wadela: idafa hou hamoi defele, dilima se hame iaha.” Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.
45 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe!
46 “You human, turn toward the south. Preach about what will happen to that dry land, to the forest there.
Ga (south) ba: le gale, amo soge amola iwila amoma fofada: ma.
47 Say to the forest in the [part of Israel]: 'Listen to this message that Yahweh the Lord is saying [about you]: “I am about to start a fire in your midst, and it will burn up all your trees, [both] the green trees and the withered/dry trees. Nothing will extinguish the blazing flames. And the fire will scorch the faces of everyone [who lives] in that area, from the south to the north.
Ga (south) iwila amoma e da Ouligisudafa Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima: ne amane sia: ma, ‘Ba: ma! Na da lalu didisa. Amo lalu da dia ifa huluane, gahe amola bioi, huluane nemu. Ha: ba: domu da hamedei ba: mu. E da gadili nene ahoasea, dunu huluane da lalu sawa: ga fane dogolomu.
48 Everyone will see that it is I, Yahweh, who have lit this fire, and no one will [be able to] put it out.” '”
Ilia huluane da Na, Hina Gode, Ni fawane da lalu ulagisiba: le, enoga ha: ba: domu hamedei ba: mu.’”
49 Then I said, “Yahweh, my Lord, [when I tell things like this to people, they do not believe me]. They say about me, ‘He is only telling parables.’”
Be na da Godema gagabole sia: i, “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Nama agoane hamoma: ne, mae sia: ma! Dunu huluane da na da fedege idinamasu sia: fawane sia: sa, amo ilia hihini sia: daha.”
