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.

Hagi Babilonima kinama huta mani'nonkeno 7nima hia kafumofo, namba 5fu ikamofona 10ni knazupa Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofontegati antahintahi erinaku navuga emani'naze.

2 Then Yahweh gave me a message. [He said, ]

Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

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.’

Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, Israeli ranra vahetamina amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, tamagra Nagri nagenoka huta antahintahi erinaku e'nazo? Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankita, tamagra nagenoka huta antahintahia e'origahaze.

4 If you are [RHQ] willing to warn them, remind them of the detestable things that their ancestors did.

Hagi kagra keaga huzmantenka refko huzmanto, vahe'mofo mofavremoka, keaga huzmantenka zamafahe'mofo hi'mnage avu'ava zama zamavariri zama nehaza zana eri ama' huge'za negenagenka,

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.

amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Israeli vahe'ma Nagri vahe manigahaze hu'nama huhampri'noa kna zupa, Isipi mopafi Jekopu mofavreramina huvempa huzmante'na Nagra Ra Anumzanamo'na tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na huama hu'noe.

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.

Hagi ana knarera Nagra Isipi mopafintira zamavare atirami'na kasefa mopama zamigahuema hu'na huhampri'noa mopafi zamavare'na vugahue. Ana mopafina ami rine tume rimo'enena avitegeno maka mopa agatere'nea mopagino knare'zantfa huno hentofaza hu'nea mopa me'ne.

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].”’

Hagi nagra amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, hi'mnage zama ante'nazana mago mago'mota eri netreta, Isipi vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzana monora hunteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena osiho hu'noe. Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na zamasami'noe.

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.

Hianagi zamagra ha'renante'za ke'ni'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za ana hi'mnage zama zamavugama ante'nazana zamefira huomi, Isipi vahe'mofo havi anumzantera monora hunte'za vu'naze. Ana nehazageno Nagrira tusi narimpa ahege'na, narimpa ahezmante'na Isipi mopafi zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

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.

Hianagi umani'naza kumate vahe'mofo zamavufima huvempama hu'na, Isipiti'ma zamavare'na egahue hu'nama hu'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza nehu'za nagazema erinami zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert.

E'ina hu'negu Isipi mopafintira zamavare'na atirami'na, ka'ma kokampina e'noe.

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].

Nagra tra ke'ni'a nezami'na, kasegeni'a zamasmi'noe. Na'ankure ana kasegeni'ama amage'ma antesimo'a, ofri manigahie.

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].

Hagi ana nehu'na mani fruhu kna Sabatima zami'noana, Nagri'ene zamagri'ene amu'nompi mago avame'za me'nenige'za, Ra Anumzamo huhampri ranteno tazeri ruotge hu'nea vahe mani'none hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

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.

Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ka'ma kokampima ne-eza Nagri kea amage nonte'za, kasege'ni'ane tra ke'ni'anena zamefi humi'naze. Zamagrama tra keni'a amage'ma antazaresina knare hu'za manizasine. Sabati manigasa knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hu'nagu ka'ma kokampima neazage'na narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

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.

Hianagi negazage'nama Isipiti'ma zamavare'na atirami'nama e'noa vahe'mokizmi zamavufima, e'inahu'ma hanu'na Nagra'a nagima eri haviza huzanku Israeli vahera zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

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.

Hagi ka'ma kokampima neazage'na nazana erisga hu'na amanage hu'na huvempa hu'noe, miko mopama ageterenea mopama amirine tumerimo'enema avite'nea mopama zamigahuema hu'na huvempama hu'noa mopafina zamavare'na ovugosue hu'na huvempa hu'noe.

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.

Na'ankure zamagra keni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za, Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, vahe'mo'za zamazanteti trohu'naza anumzantaminte monora hunte'naze.

17 But, I still pitied them and did not get rid of [all of] them in the desert.

Hianagi zamavufima koana nasuntagige'na zamahe ofri'na, ka'ma kokampina zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

18 I said to their children, ‘Do not do the things that your parents continually did, or defile yourselves [worshiping] their idols.

E'ina hu'negu mofavre naga'zmia amanage hu'na zamasmi'noe, tamafahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavara novaririta, zamagrama hu'naza zana huta kaza osu havi anumzantamina monora hunteta tamazeri pehena osiho hu'na zamasami'noe.

19 I am Yahweh your God. Carefully obey [DOU] my laws and commands.

Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noanki, keni'a amage nenteta tra keni'a amage anteho.

20 Respect my Sabbath days, in order that by doing that [PRS], it will remind you that you belong to me, Yahweh your God.’

Ana nehuta Sabati knani'aramina kegava hiho. Na'ankure amu'nontifina e'i ana knamo'a mago avame'za me'nena Ra Anumzamo'na tamagri Anumza manisugeta, tamagra Nagri vahe manigahaze.

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.

Hianagi ana mofavreramimo'za ke'ni'a nontahi'za, ke'ni'a amagera nonte'za tra keni'a kegava nosu'za, ana kasegema amage'ma antazasina, ofri so'e hu'za manizasine. Hianagi anara osu'naze. Ana nehu'za Sabati knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hazage'na ka'ma kokampina narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hunaku hu'noe.

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].

Hianagi Nagra e'inara osu'noe. Na'ankure mago'a kumapi vahe'mofo zamavufima Isipiti'ma zamavare'na e'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza hu'zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

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],

Ana nehu'na Nagra amanage hu'na ka'ma kokampina huvempa hu'na zamasami'noe, Israeli vahera zamahe panini hanuge'za hazagre'za mika mopafi vu'za e'za hu'za mago mago hu'za umani emani hugahaze hu'noe.

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].

Na'ankure zamagra kasegeni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, zamazanteti tro hu'naza anumzantaminte'ma zamafahe'mo'zama mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

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].

Ana hazage'na Nagra zamatroge'za zamasimuma eri'za omani tra kene, kasegene amage ante'naze.

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].

Ana nehu'na zamatroge'za musezazmia zamagonesa mofavrezmia zamahe'za Kresramana nevu'za, zamagra'a zamazeri pehena hu'naze. E'inama hu'noana Nagra zamazeri haviza hanuge'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahiza hihogu anara hu'noe.

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.

E'ina hu'negu vahe'mofo mofavremoka amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamafahe'za anahu kna hu'za huhaviza hunante'za zamefi hunami'naze.

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.

Hagi zamigahue hu'nama huvempama huzmante'noa mopafi zamavare'na oge'za, maka za'za agonafine maka anina kuronkuroma hu'nea zafa agafaramimpina ofazmia havi anumzazamirera Kresramana nevu'za nazeri narimpa nehe'za, mnanentake zana kre mna nevu'za, waini tina tagiza ofa hu'naze.

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”.’

Ana hazage'na Nagra zamantahige'na amanage hu'noe, Ina'na agonarega monora ome nehaze hu'na zamantahige'noe. Hagi ana kumakura Bamae hu'za menina agia nehaze.

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].

E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahera amanage hunka zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Tamagri tamafahe'mozama hu'nazaza huta agoterafa havi anumzantera a'nemo ru vene savri hiankna huta monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hu'naze.

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.'

Hagi havi anumzantega mofavretamia aheta ofa kresramna nevuta, vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantera monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hume eta ama knarera ehanatize.

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.

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.

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].

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.

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.

Na'ankure Nagri ruotge agonama, Israeli mopafima za'za agonama me'nere maka Israeli naga'mo'za atru hu'za monora hunantegahaze huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hagi e'i anante tamantahi kenugeta ofaramine, knare'nare muse zantamina erita enesage'na, antahi muse huramantegahue.

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.

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].

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.

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.”

45 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

46 “You human, turn toward the south. Preach about what will happen to that dry land, to the forest there.

Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, sauti mopa kaziga kavugosa hunte'nenka sauti kaziga mopamofona sifna ahenentenka sauti kaziga Negevi mopafima me'nea zafaramimofona kasnampa kea hunka huhaviza huzmanto.

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.
